New Backpack Came In

I just got me new backpack in; a Maxpedition Gearslinger Kodiak. I’m very happy with it. It should be the last pack I’ll own if I don’t lose it or someone takes it.

A Hobby

Yep, I collect Hotwheels. I only have a few right now, about 25 to 30. Anytime I go into a "Dollar Store" or like a CVS, I'll see if they have any of them and pick up one or two.

Then, I'll take pictures of then in macro mode using my phone (Samsung Galaxy S3). Hey, its one of my cheaper hobbies I have. :)

Rainy Days

Hope the rain passes before this weekend.
I feel like getting out and do some caching and exploring

Soon,, Maybe

Hope to go caching soon. Not this coming up weekend but the next Maybe.. Since I have a new phone, I hope to post more pictures while out. It depends on the connection at the time but 4G have opened up in my town (finally).. :)) Posted from WordPress for Android

Need to post more

I really need to post more but as it stands right now, not much to blog about.
I have been geocaching in a couple of months and haven't really went anywhere to post pictures from.

Oh Well. Maybe eventually.

Also just wanted to test out Google's blogger app.  :))

GGA Feb Meeting 2012

I was supposed to be going to the Georgia Geocachers Association event - the chili cook off, but life had other plans.
I'm babysitting today since the wife is on-call and working and my granddaughter's mom is working; which leave me - P-Paw - to babysit.

The even is over 2 hours away from my house so taking a 3 year old that far and maybe trying to do some geocaching is pretty much out of the question. Plus, taking Doodglebug out and back into the car seat at every stop would get old quick.. Sooooo.... I'll stay home and miss the event.

The Event is in Panola Mountain State park

The event - "GGA Mtg - Ed"Rebel"Handler Memorial Chili Cook-off" just south of Atlanta.

The Drive to Dothan, AL

I had to drive to Dothan, AL on 01/26/2012 for work so I took a few minutes while having to stop for a snack to take a few pictures going to and from Dothan that day.

Getting to stop and take a few pictures makes the drive better.
There was a storm on it's way that day so that's the reason why a lot of the pictures are a little dark.

Playing around with Photography

Just out playing around with some macro photography this morning. This is a Chevy El Camino hotwheels I barrowed from my granddaughter (yes, I’ll give back).

Taken with my old Nikon S210 point and shoot camera.

Any Cemetery

For our 27th anniversary, my wife and our granddaughter took a drive north of where we live in Columbus, GA. Our destination was supposed to be Desoto Falls in Desoto State Park in Alabama, but we never made it (that’s usual for us). The destination was just a target to drive toward.

Anyone that knows me knows I like to wonder around old cemeteries and take in the history and art of the headstones. I don’t consider it creepy in the least bit at all.
I stop at every old cemetery I come across!

Like this one. On Saturday, 01/14/2012, I went geocaching. I will usually go north, south, east or west from where we live to geocache (I really don’t care for geocaching around where I live – I can do that anytime, but this day, I decided not to stray too far from home and went toward the Tuskegee National Forest in Alabama. It took me 2.5 hours to go 50 miles from my house because I kept finding all the old cemeteries!

The above headstone was behind this church:

This church is no longer used, but has a lot of character about it though.

 

Headstones like the one above is the reason I like walking around old cemeteries.Some graves have been long forgotten and if it weren’t for people like me, nobody would even know the forgotten graves were even there.

Number 27

For our 27th anniversary, my wife and I took our drive to the north.
We usually try to make it all the way up to the northern most part of Georgia or Alabama, but we hardly ever make that far. We usually will spend the day just driving, looking and exploring as we go.

..and what's a drive north without stopping where we like to eat the most! Cracker Barrel!  :)
