It's been a long while since I blogged. I blame the heat. It's been too hot to enjoy much of anything outside, geocaching, hiking, camping, you name it... The first cool "cold" front of the fall/winter season has encouraged me to post this blog. Hopefully more will be soon to follow. Thanks for checking back!
Summer started off with a Geocaching Flash mob. I intended to make it duck themed but found out upon arrival that the park discourages feeding the ducks bread! Bummer, still a good time was had by all.
When we went home for the Fourth of July I saw the Mighty Mississippi at the lowest I have ever seen it. Sand bars were exposed that I've never seen, and the riverboat casino here in Vicksburg was completely beached!
I said goodbye to my Toyota Tacoma "Blue" and got a 2012 Subaru Impreza Sport! Her name is Samantha, and she is a lot of fun to drive! I wish I could drive a stick though, a WRX would be even MORE fun!
That's going to leave a mark!
I seem to have moved from Phooning to Planking as my silly picture posture of choice. I blame the Internets! Here I am at the Buddy Holley Museum in Lubbock, TX
This is Buddy's grave, pretty simple for a legend! In case you were wondering there are Virtual Caches at the museum and the grave site, no containers, so were very respectfully done. I honestly never would have come to this location without Geocaching.
Ah Summer Mummers.... Beer through a straw, silly T-Shirt, and a popcorn bag crown. I don't even remember this being taken. Ha! SCIENCE!
One of the few short trips we took. My In-laws came to visit so since Midland has nothing interesting to do I took a day off work and we went to Carlsbad Caverns and Guadalupe Mountains National Parks. A crazy-short trip but a lot of fun.

"The night is dark and full of terrors" Ok that's two Game of Thrones quotes in this blog, I really need to get outside some more....
My favorite Cavern formation. It went from being sexist "Breast of Venus" to racist "Chinese Hat" It speaks to me in some kind of way. I can't figure out why?
I haven't seen a stick bug in forever! Here is one hanging out on the NPS sign at the Pine Springs Visitor Center in the Guadalupes.
It was very very hazy when we visited. The only hiking we did was a walk on the Butterfield Mail Stage Trail near Pine Springs. I would really love to come back and see McKittrick Canyon in the fall soon!
Tomorrow we leave for Brenham, TX for a Geocaching Event weekend. Look for a new post soon!
Looks like your new Subaru Impreza Sport also enjoyed the heat of summer with you. Look how handsome your car is under the sunlight! I love its large muscular body, which makes it to appear sportier. The cool thing about the Subaru Impreza Sport is that it has lots of nifty additions, like the strake kit, aero splash guards, and aero cross bars.

Bro, you really looked cool in your pose on the first photo! :’D Anyhow, It’s good to know that you enjoy driving your new car, Samantha. Nice, huh! What’s the reason behind the name?

Yeah, I agree! A WRX would be more fun to drive. Do you have any plan of purchasing this car? Why don’t you include that in your wish list for this year? For now, I hope you’re happy with your Subaru Impreza. That is a great car, and it’s good for long drives. -Stelle Courney
