Climax
Went for a Geocache today in Climax, Kansas. About 3 miles from the main road along dirt and gravel roads I ended up near a river in what looked like it might be a cornfield. Didn't take too long to find the cache once I realized I didn't need to scale the steep slope down to the river. I was the 16th person to find the Rice Bridge Cache which was carefully hidden behind pieces of an old tin roof. I'm sure I'm the only one to sign the log book from Ohio.
It was so nice to be out in the middle of almost nowhere - nice and quiet and peaceful. Not that I was roughing it by any means with my GPS, cell phone and XM radio in tow. But to be able to turn it all off and be alone with only the sound of the wind and the river was refreshing. I really need to go camping this summer - I miss that feeling.


Camping is what I look forward to most in summer. There's a place I go in the Adirondacks that's completely isolated - I park my truck, pack a canoe, and paddle for 4 miles to an isolated beach/island in a lake in the mountains. Heaven.
