Where We Aren t We've got two blogs and a website which are linked above. We are not on Facebook, Tw




Downtown San Antonio is home to one the most beautifully developed urban  areas in the country The Riverwalk.  Many cities boast about how they have a Riverwalk but none come close to the one in San Antone. First conceived in the 1960 s, it has been evolving ever since and now extends all the way to Alamo Plaza. The river part of it is a man-made canal filled with water diverted from the San Antonio River.
The canal is lined on both sides with restaurants, shops and hotels, all in southwest decor and very classy. You won t find any run down tourist traps here. You can find just about any cuisine in the world and dine year round indoors or out. Dining and tour boats ply the water.  Lush and gorgeous botanical gardens abound throughout the area. The Alamo, the IMAX theater, the convention center and other city highlights are all within walking distance or you can take the trolley.
There are at least two dozen geocaches right on the Riverwalk and many more just a short distance off of it. Some are virtual, fort lauderdale hotel some are the real thing.  You can cover the whole Riverwalk and work off those great meals on the veranda with some geohunts. They present some unique challenges. The narrow canal area and tall buildings can interfere with a good GPS signal. And of course, you ll be dodging muggles (non-geocachers).
Overall, it is a safe, friendly and fascinating place to visit. fort lauderdale hotel We are not usually enamored with commercial places, preferring to go off the beaten path, but we thoroughly enjoyed the Riverwalk. Bring your appetite, your walking shoes and your GPS.  You ll need all three.
The header picture and the background picture are both parts of the same photo. This is the long abandoned OTO Ranch near Gardiner, Montana. just outside of the north entrance to Yellowstone Park. This is back country geocaching at its best - physically challenging, spectacular scenery and lots to explore once the find is made.
The photo down below is the real us, taken at one of our favorite off the beaten path places - Cooke Lake in northeast Wyoming. We stumbled upon it looking fort lauderdale hotel for a nearby geocache. It's now a regular stop on our Wyoming runs.
Where We Aren t We've got two blogs and a website which are linked above. We are not on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr or any of those other sites. I've tried them but they are simply too time consuming. I don't know how people do it. I burned myself out with what we've already got.
The tag cloud could also be called a keyword cloud. If you are looking for a specific post or a certain topic or just want to see what's around, this is the place to look. The tag becomes a keyword. Of course, you can always use your own, too.
You can search two ways. One is to just click on one of the tags in the cloud. It's fast, but may give you a whole lot more than you wanted. If you hold the mouse over the tag, you'll see how many topics there are.
