Weekend Respite

With over 7 inches of rain falling in the Southern California area over the past week, the weekend dawned bright, and for the most part sunny.  There were patchy clouds in the sky, and the mountains were out in all of their glory.  From the looks of things, it appears as if the snow level was down to about 4000 feet or so.  That's Mt. San Gorgonio, which tops out at over 11,500 feet.  Beyond San Gorgonio would be Joshua Tree National Park.

The Tadpole and I went out on Saturday, first to visit my mom who's in the hospital recuperating from hip replacement surgery, and then secondly to pick up some caches.  We did a circuitous route through Riverside and then north to Redlands and finally west through Rancho Cucamonga.  We found a variety of caches, including one virtual cache which I ended up putting on my top 5% list.  Our last three caches, I'd done some research on and we didn't have any coordinates for the three caches.  We ended up finding all three of them without the benefit of the GPSr.  The cache page descriptions and Google satellite images were enough.

With more rain forecast for this week, we'll have to hope that the weather cooperates on the weekend.  Until then, we'll enjoy these respites between raindrops.
