One last stop on this trip. I picked up a friend, Suzi, at the Chattanooga, Tennessee airport so that we could attend the Rome, Georgia “Going Caching” Geocaching Mega Event. It event was okay, but not as exciting as when I first attended 2 years … Continue readingGoing Caching
Drove back to my brother’s house. We walked the fields and visited the pond with the dog, Shiloh. Shiloh isn’t long for this world but still found great joy in the walk and the water. (Postscript – Shiloh passed about 2 months after my visit.) … Continue readingShiloh
