Geocaching Cooter

Have you ever been to Cooter? This was Teri's first trip. I had been there once before for a dear freind's wedding. This one was on our way into the little town, population 440.

Grabbed this one on our way out. We started about 9 am. When we got to Cooter I lost the internet. Upset I was. Teri said, "check for an open router". Not in Cooter. Oh yea, several routers and all open. We jumped on one and away we went. Life is good. That Teri is a thinker.

Our first stop in Sikeston.

Mr. Wilson hid this cache yesterday. We were the second ones to log in at 930 am today. Might have been first but the fog was heavy and I kept our speed at 70 mph.

New Madrid, Missouri. This is a cool little town on the Mississippi. Lots of history here and it is in your kids' history books at school.

Very nice monument right on the river.

Only a levee between the Big Mighty Muddy and New Madrid.

Great cache and out of the weather.

Next stop was Lilbourn, Mo. This was hidden yesterday. Teri was the very first to sign the log and take some things from the box. I am not too fond of these. Right in a guy's front yard. Oh well, no shooting at us.

Northbound rest area on I-55.

Neat one in Hayti. I enjoy the ones that pay tribute to our vets.

Another one in Hayti. Cool little school house. They have it moved right downtown.

Took a bit to locate this one but Teri grabbed it.

Right on the side of the service road south of Hayti. We have all of the caches in Hayti now. There must be 10.

You can not see all of this one but it was neat. Teri spotted the fishing line that held it to the brick gate post in the Steele, Mo. City Park.

Oh, I had to pitch these two in for you. Our 7 year old showing grandpa how he shot the deer. Colsyn is quite the story teller. His little brother is listening like it is his first time. Their sister, Marci Claire, let us know last night that she is tired of hearing about the deer.

The rifle that fired the deadly shot. As long as the grandson is tall.
Teri and I had a great day geocaching the bootheel of Missouri today. The weather was great, after the fog lifted. I think we have one or two caches left to grab in the bootheel. One is in a graveyard down in Hornersville. We rarely get down that way so it will be a special trip just like today was. The town of Blytheville, Ar. is full of caches. Maybe one day in the Spring we can head down and grab a few of those.
That is about it from here. Going over to get 3 grandkids for the evening. Hope eveyone had a great "hump day". It is all down hill from here.

Great finds. Surprised there are none in Gobbler. Larry Samons and I did a special events ham station there one Thanksgiving. We even had special QSL cards prepared. I forgot how many contacts we made.

Blytheville, my hometown. Very different now than when I grew up there.

Rick.
