Jared and I went out on his motorcycle again today. Despite the more windy roads on the way to Wimberley, I felt much more comfortable on this ride because had I learned that I didn't have to hang on for dear life the whole time. I got to sit back and enjoy the breeze and the view.

I was very glad that Jared had downloaded geocaches into his GPS because we didn't find the "Market Day" that we wanted to go to. And I wasn't very interested in the shops "downtown." I think this was the first time I had been geocaching outside of familiar territory (although it is in the nature of geocaching that you will leave familiarity...). By following the GPS, we found a nature preserve that we would never have seen otherwise. That was my first experience really finding a new special place while geocaching.

Of course, we didn't simply follow the path set before us. We explored around the river a little bit and went past a "Private Property" sign on the waterfront. We crossed the river and found the last cache for the day hidden amongst some large rocks that enable explorers to climb up from the river level to the street level. Unfortunately, as Jared was reaching for the cache, he stepped on a stick that turn up and poked him in the eye. It was undoubtedly unpleasant, but he recovered well and we had a nice ride home back to Kyle for some amazing Mexican food and a night off.
