Gem of the Rockies

For the second time, I’m attending a men’s retreat hosted by Houston-based Faithful Fathering. I left camp today with seven other dudes, aged 9 to 43. While half the group opted for fishing at Montgomery Reservoir, the rest of us went for a hike. I took the opportunity to share the joy of the bestest hobby in the world and led the group to the nearest active cache.

We walked around the lake from where we’d parked. So beautiful! We had fun pretending to be goats on the large rocks and marveled at the old mill. On the way back, we paused to put our feet in the cold mountain stream. Quite refreshing. I had a special moment with the Lord.

Dropped off two TBs.

Thank you, Mr Ed. God bless! 2 Corinthians 5:21

Frewey's Almost Como

For the second time, I’m attending a men’s retreat hosted by Houston-based Faithful Fathering. I had such fun and such stories solo caching last year that I was appointed to “captain” geocaching as an optional activity this year. Today, I set out with six other guys, aged 5 to 67, to show them the bestest hobby in the world.

I spent quite a bit of time here last year and left with a DNF. Today, the 12-year-old of the group navigated to GZ and picked it up right away. I am ashamed 🙁😩. I sincerely don’t know how I missed it! I’ll blame the altitude. Yeah, that’s it. Anyway, I owe him a meal since I promised such to whoever found it. To be honest, it’ll be money well spent.

We tried some wild raspberries that were growing through the rocks. They were perfect: not too tart and not too sweet.

Here’s a fave point for the fun and the great story.

Thank you, frewey. God bless! 2 Corinthians 5:21
