Ready to Roll

Our time at Goose Island has been sweet and much too fleeting, but after a couple of months we're always getting itchy to hit the road.

On my last couple of days here I attempted to do some geocaching with my phone, since the Garmin has been shipped back for repair.  It was my first time doing this solo and I have to say...I suck at this. 

 Hopefully it's because the phone isn't calibrated correctly but I think it's because Left Brain is so much better at it than me.

But while out and about I came across some really pretty sights, thanks again to Bob as I searched for his "Cruising the Coulee" cache.  Even though I was batting zero for finding the caches, I did snag some fun photos of other items.

On Thursday I had a final lunch with the Divine Miss M before she begins her adventure.  Their house has been sold and they are waiting in a rented condo for their International Adventure to begin with a leisurely tour of England, Ireland, Switzerland, Scotland and who knows where else they might land.

I shook hands with the owner of Pickerman's and told him I'd see him next year when we return. 

It was too rainy to pack that night, so we waited until this morning.  Everything is still wet, but at least we won't be working in a downpour.  

The internet is still balking, so I will not be able to post as many photos as I had hoped and will just go with these meager couple and call it good.  Hopefully our next stop will have better internet!

Long Live the Queen of Goose Island
