Another year

It's a little hard for me to believe, but we're coming to the end of another year. A little over 3 weeks it'll be time to turn the page to 2025. I got a lot done this year, mostly travel and adventure related. I made 
It Arizona, Texas, Alabama, Ohio, Wisconsin, and all the way to the West Coast for my high school 50th anniversary reunion. Reunion. I saw an amazing amount of stuff, especially a lot of geologic features. All in all, it was a great year!

New toys

It was finally time to retire my old (VERY OLD) Samsung tablet, which had become functionally useless. I'm scribbling this on a new Google Pixel tablet, which is quite nice. It will take a while to get used to the differences in the interface, but that's okay.
I'm going to try to get better about taking notes.

Mourning doves

 I think it's funny how memories that are 60 years old are triggered by sounds and smells and sights. Over the last few days I've been in Yuma Arizona for a geocaching mega event, and have heard mourning doves throughout my stay here. It's a nice memory of my childhood.

Geocaching statistics (as of 12/31/2023)

As I'm sure I've noted here before, geocaching is both a solitary "sport" and a competitive individual (or team) "sport". Some individuals compete with other geocachers for FTFs (first-to-finds), others compete for difficulty / terrain points (and many do both). 

I like to go after counties, and as you can see below, I've visited 1645 (out of 3148) counties (and county equivalents) in the United States. So, I'm just over 50% after nearly 20 years of geocaching.
