It was very quiet here in BLM land. There may have been 7 or so cars that drove by last night. After breakfast, he headed to the closest trucker station to get some coffee (he will brew some when Rick joins him in Phoenix) so he could start his geocaching. If not for geocaching he definitely would have missed some interesting spots in Quartzsite.
3 miners keeping tabs on the cache across the street
The game plan was to cache his way to Parker, AZ where a person whose blog he’s been following is stuck for another week. He thought it would be interesting to see if he could find the guy and say hi (the person lives in a class b rv full-time and writes about his experiences). Harris was able to find 15 caches today and work in his 3+ mile walk by walking to many .3 mile caches.

Among the caches were:
Frisbee golf
Freedom Park
A desert garden
A geocacher with a sense of humor
Copper Mountain Mine road-- A great place to have lunch
Yup, nothing is to good for Howie's protection
Harris was almost to Parker when the weather finally caught up to him from Seattle. Since he left the Emerald City (which was on the verge of becoming the snow globe city) he’s been just ahead of chilling temperatures and precipitation. Perhaps there was a lesson for him in turning north rather than continuing east or south.
Not too many obstacles for Frisbee Golf in AZ...
When Harris pulled into Parker the rain was more than a sprinkle. He headed to the Blue Water Casino and looked for the RV that was pictured in blog he’d been following. Sure enough, he found it and parked next to it. Not wanting to intrude, Harris left a message on the person’s blog telling him that he’d parked next to him and inviting him over.
An Arizona garden
A half hour later, Glenn came over and introduced himself. Harris mentioned several times over the next couple of hours how enjoyable Glenn’s blog is and what a great voice he has in his writing. The plan now is to cache in Parker tomorrow and then head to Phoenix. If it’s too rainy Harris will head over to Phoenix and do some grocery shopping. Howie could also use a good wash.
The name of this cache was "Tucson Micro"...My 5" GPS is on top
(A sense of humor this guy)
