During the week, mom and I found a really easy geocache in the Newman Arboretum of Cornell Plantations. I think mom was more excited than I was. Envision my 70-something mother and a barely-mobile back surgery patient looking under leaves and logs for a plastic container.

Then over the Easter weekend, mom and I took brother Charles who was visiting from Boston back to the plantations and found another easy cache. The picture below was the hint.

For my birthday last week, Mom helped me buy a gps receiver and bluetooth dock for my Pocket PC phone to be used in future trips with Rosie. For now, I’m going to use it to start geocaching this summer in lieu of any biking. I wrote up a review at the Digital Rv if you want to hear about my mild bout of buyer’s remorse.
