Air Conditioning Anyone?

Another warm night followed by a warm morning leading into a hot day. The laundry load was high this week so Lyn headed over to the laundry after breakfast to finish the job. It was warm enough to head out and finish washing the trailer. This was probably a record, only 3 sessions to clean the trailer.

The temperatures climbed up to 22°C after lunch so that was a good time to make sure that the air conditioner still worked… it did.

We had a quick session of ordering from e-bay / amazon. Lyn got a couple of craft books and I got some radio stuff. On line buying is so much cheaper down here. Although the cost of the product is the same, 95% of the time the shipping is free and there is no 13% sales tax.

Being such a beautiful afternoon we headed back to Jekyll Island for some exercise and geo-caching. This time we chose four caches up the north end of the island. We must be improving as we found all 4 caches.

Below is one of the caches, the first picture shows the “find”, it is an old flashlight covered in camo-tape. Inside the battery compartment is the log book. Sneaky #2 (2)

As a bargain we picked up a “trackable”. A trackable is an object that some one has left at a cache, with it (or on the web) will be a request as to what the owner wants done with trackable. In this case the intent is to have the trackable travel to as many places as possible, with pictures posted on the geo-caching site of any unusual places visited.

One of the caches was close to an area called Driftwood Beach. We had visited the North end of this beach a couple of years ago, this time we came from the South. The beach is littered with dead trees, but they have been rubbed smooth by the sand and tide action. It looks as the trees were originally growing where they are now, but the land was eroded by the sea causing the trees to die.

Again we managed to get in a good walk on the beach, and along some very small footpaths.

If only this weather would stay, but the cold is on its way south.
