That's right! This weekend all kinds of World Records were smashed by yours truly. Sadly the Guinness people were nowhere to be found. But the sound of these records being smashed could be heard for, literally, hundredths of feet.
Saturday, it was a balmy 35 degrees out so we hit a local park that had six or seven caches. Most of the caches were pretty easy but one. I decided to make it a four star terrain. Not to mention as we were climbing the "Illinois" mountains the melting snow made them rather slick. So we came home a little muddy but logged 6 caches. That was a record smashing day. We broke the "Most caches logged in February while driving my white Trailblazer, while wearing sunglasses, while wearing work boots that I replaced because they weren't waterproof, and stopping by KFC for lunch afterwards" record.
Here is a pic of the kids playing at the park.
Today we smashed yet another record. We hit a whopping 7 for 8 today. Which is the "Most caches found in a day when visiting a reservoir, in February, while chewing mint mojito gum, during a week where there was a lunar eclipse and the same week the kids get midterm grades" record. It's true, look it up.
So what is the total for the weekend?
Um, yes, you, dead possum we found on our porch..... 
Oh wait you're dead you can't talk.
13
So I guess I need to award some points ummmm 265 million points if you got that right.
Anyway we logged 7 today. A couple took us to an old reservoir which was pretty cool
This reservoir is no longer used but the dam (sorry mom) is still there. There is also dam grass, dam trees, dam birds, dam fences, etc...
here are the kids with the back side of the spillway in the background
Here is a pic of one of the caches we found today
We did have 1 DNF for the whole weekend but overall we had a great time. There were quite a few ammo cans to be found. Which is always nice!
Here are a couple cool pictures I wanted to share!
If you missed it on Wednesday there was a lunar eclipse
And this is what happens when you shoot a hot burn barrel with a squirt gun

Wow, it's not every day that dinner just plops down on the front porch and dies. That was easy. Excellent work on the caching. I love the birdhouse. I'm having a little trouble reading that sign at the spillway. What's it say? Oh yeah, you obviously couldn't' read it. Hahaha. Are you sure that's a squirt gun?

Holey Moley! Now that's a productive weekend. Didn't get the garage cleaned out, but who cares? Looks like your dam geocaching partners got in that picture.
