My Dirty Little Geekret 2

In an effort to get into better shape, Sarah and I have embarked on a new hobby called "Geocaching." It involves using a GPS receiver to find the coordinates for previously hidden containers. Each container contains at least a log book for the finders to sign. The caches are hidden in both urban and rural locations. My favorite hunting place so far has been Sycamore Canyon Park. Sarah and I went searching off Central Ave. last month and found 6 different caches. In the process, we hiked about 2 miles over hilly terrain. On Friday we took the boys to the south end of the park and found 4 caches. That day we hiked 1.5 miles. Here are some pics from our two trips:

Sycamore Canyon Park is a gorgeous area that I had never explored until Sarah and I discovered geocaching. We are looking to introduce others to it if you are interested.

Scanner Funnies

Here is a conversation I heard on my scanner last night. I got a good laugh from it.

Dispatch: Adam 239, report of 415 verbal (disturbing the peace) at Orange Terrace Park. RP (reporting party) says her boyfriend's eyes are rolling into the back of his head and he's growling. RP thinks boyfriend sold his soul to the devil. Possible 5150 (crazy).

(Slight Pause)

Officer: Which one is possibly 5150?

Dispatch: Take your pick!

I frequently listen to Riverside Police Dept., Riverside Fire, Riv. Co. Sherrif, SB Co. Sherrif, and SB Police Dept. I just got frequencies for AMR/CDF (thanks Jason). Yesterday before the hockey game, I listened to the various conversations taking place in the Honda Center and tonight found out I get the Honda Center channels all the way in Riverside. Currently the stage crew is setting up for the Marc Anthony/Jennifer Lopez concert.
