Now, here is where I've got to call in a "stupid dad" moment. Hey, this thing didn't come with a manual! Read on...
After finishing the first geocache, and convincing Paige to another, we drove to a parking lot that got us as close as possible. Literally a hundred yards or so. As I picked up the backpack with the drinks, I found the passenger seat of the car was soaked in red Gatorade! Paige hadn't shut the lid on her drink all the way. And I should have known to check, because she did the exact same thing with another Gatorade container just the day before. Luckily the aforementioned parking lot was that of a Burger King, so I ran inside, grabbed some napkins and came back out to soak up the mess.
Oh, the stupid dad moments get better...
After trying my best to cool down from now having a sticky passenger seat and backpack (and all the stuff in it like my GPS, notebook, etc.), we set out to get the next cache. At this point it had become a mission. It was going to happen! And, of course, nothing good ever comes of that in a parenting situation.
As we walked the first few yards Paige kept complaining. "Ouch. Ouch. Ouch." with every step. "Paige!" I said "Come on! It's right around the bend. We'll grab it and be back to the car." And surprisingly, she sucked it up and we kept moving. When we got to the cache, a storm was rolling in, and the temperature had dropped enough to make the mosquitos want to come out. We were getting eaten alive. But hey, this is a mission, we're going to get this cache!
After finding the cache (which was really quick and easy, thankfully), signing the log, and swapping toys, we were back on the trail to the car. It was then that I had noticed that Paige had a folded up napkin sticking out the back of her shoe. She hadn't worn any socks, and she had blistered, and was bleeding on the back of her heel. Apparently, when I wasn't looking, while cleaning up the Gatorade, she grabbed a napkin, folded it up, and put it in the back of her shoe to stop the rubbing.
Now feeling like a total arse, when we got back to the car, we took a detour into the Burger King. It was there that we had cherry Icee's and talked about what had gone on the previous couple of hours. I apologized for getting angry with her, and she apologized for complaining so much. I apologized for not listening to her, and she agreed that she'd dress more appropriately next time. But most of all we agreed that it sure was nice to cool down with a frozen treat.
In the meantime, we'll put geocaching on the shelf for a bit until Paige feels ready to have another go.
Afghan National Army (ANA) soldiers, partnered with U.S. Special Operations Forces, uncovered multiple weapons caches in eastern Zabul province July 31. The Afghan-led force went to several areas in Now Bahar district after intelligence information indicated insurgent activity and found three weapons caches, the largest of which was found in the district mosque.

This secluded, hilly expanse of oak woodlands, grasslands, and chaparral is a combination of over 70,000 acres of BLM managed lands and 4,700 acres of State and County lands. The Natural Area is traversed by Cache Creek, with its year-round water flow. Elevation ranges from 3200 feet atop Brushy Sky High, down to 600 feet in the eastern end of Cache Creek along State Route 16. Showcasing the area is about 35 miles of the main fork of Cache Creek and 2.5 miles of the north fork. Also present are several tributary creeks that contain permanent water.
The Cache Creek Natural Area is a primitive area, closed to motorized vehicles. There are no developed campgrounds or facilities. Non-hunting (target) shooting is not allowed. Instead, the area is managed to improve habitat for wildlife and rare plants, to protect cultural resource values, and to offer primitive recreation opportunities, including wildlife viewing, river running, hiking, equestrian use, hunting and fishing. On October 17, 2006, President George W. Bush signed the Northern California Coastal Wild Heritage Act, designating approximately 27,245 acres within the Cache Creek Natural Area as the Cache Creek Wilderness Area.

La filature dite Levavasseur de Fontaine-Guérard à Radepont est une cathédrale industrielle, construite au milieu du XIXe siècle et conservée à l'état de ruine depuis son incendie en 1874. Elle est souvent confondue avec l'abbaye Notre-Dame de Fontaine-Guérard, qui se trouve à proximité.
En 1822, suite à des difficultés économiques, Adolphe Guéroult vend son domaine industriel constitué d'une filature de laine, de coton et d'une manufacture de draps établi sur le site de l'abbaye Notre-Dame de Fontaine-Guérard à Radepont au baron Levavasseur. Edouard (dit Jacques) Levavasseur est un manufacturier et armateur au Havre. Il importait lui même son coton d' Amérique sur ses propres navires pour fournir ses filatures. Il remet en état le site, le restaure et l'améliore. Il meurt le 20 mars 1842.
Son fils Charles, associé dans la gestion de l'établissement depuis ses débuts, devient propriétaire du domaine. Quelques mois plus tard, un incendie ravage la filature de laine . En 1844, l'achat du château de Radepont le rend propriétaire de terrains sur plus de cinq kilomètres le long de l'Andelle. Suite à de nouveaux incendies sur des deux autres lieux de production en 1851, Charles Levavasseur décide de raser le site industriel et d'établir en aval la nouvel usine, afin de dégager la vue sur l'ancienne abbaye. En 1855, il projette la reconstruction de la filature. Pour faire tourner les machines de la filature prévue pour 300 ouvriers, il dévie le cours de l'Andelle et fait construire un canal. Les travaux commencent en 1857. L'usine, de style néogothique anglais, mesure 96 m de long pour 26 m de large. Les cheminée, cachée dans les tours aux quatre coins, s'élèvent à 38 m de hauteur, sur 5 niveaux de planchers. Une deuxième filature, dite "petite filature" (96 m de long et 20 m de large) est construite à proximité. En 1861, l'usine commence sa production.
Le 23 août 1874, un incendie ravage la grande filature. Charles Levavasseur passe alors l'affaire à son fils Arthur. L'assurance ne pouvant prendre en compte la totalité des travaux, seule la petite filature est restaurée et remise en activité. En 1913, un nouvel incendie a lieu mais n'empêche pas à l'activité de se poursuivre. Quand Arthur meurt en 1923, Jacques puis Bernard Levavasseur lui succède.
Le château de Radepont et son parc sont vendus. Bernard Levavasseur fait don en 1937 de l'abbaye de Fontaine-Guérard à l'Armée du salut.
Le 16 décembre 1946, un nouvel incendie dans la petite filature met fin à toute activité sur le site. Seul un bâtiment est reconstruit au droit du barrage où est installé une turbine fournissant du courant au réseau E.D.F.
Dans les années 1960, le site est racheté par le département de l'Eure. Le département prévoit la restauration du site pour permettre la visite d'un des derniers témoignages des grandes filatures du milieu du 19ème siècle construites comme les châteaux de l'industrie du Nord de la France.
Data 'secretly' recorded by my Android phone OS, plotting the location of cell masts and wifi access points I've hit, a nice clear example. I did an industrial placement visit in west London, and this screen shot shows the series of points where my tablet connected as the train traveled north. For example you can see I traveled on a Southern Railways route via Crawley rather than the more expensive SouthWest trains route via Guildford. Date and time is recorded. Potentially useful as digital evidence I suppose, and useful for a digital forensic investigator to know about. The location cache typically records the last 50 cell masts and the last 200 wifi points. Rooted apks can be used to display the data, or clear it, and you can turn it off in Android Settings if it worries you.
This is a replacement for a nano cache. I bought some vials with screw on lids. I painted this one with several coats of primer and then put fine sand and steel wool on the last one. I then wrapped wet steel wool so it would rust and stain the white primer.
