Southern California Visit – Note 3

We are currently saying in Kernville, in a lovely bed and breakfast called the Kern River Inn. I think Carolyn decided she wasn’t interested in making the drive up and down the mountain more than once. So while the rest of her team is staying in Bakersfield, a xx mile, 2 hour drive away, we are staying in Kernville, a 12 mile, ½ hour drive away from the pre-school they’ll be visiting.

And while she’s busy working, I’m reading, studying for my German final next Monday, or doing a little geocaching. Fortunately, I have printed out caches in the neighborhood of Carolyn’s visiting site as well as those in the area around the B&B.

This morning we got to talking with another couple that is staying here. When we got on the topic of geocaching she was all ears. And the more we talked and explained the more interested he became. Finally, we went out and actually hunted for the first three caches I had printed out as closest to this B&B. The first one was a no show but our new friends took it well. The next one was a picture perfect find – a magnetic metal box on the bottom of an old ore cart. Our friends were delighted. Even though the third one was 3 or 4 blocks away, I couldn’t hold them back. This one was a good find as well. After that we came back to the B&B, fired up the computers and recorded our successes. We also looked at how many caches there were in the Mesquite area, their current home town. There were dozens! I think we may have some new geocachers.
