Geocaching and museums

[glacier_kitty]

Yesterday we found 8 geocaches! There was one at the library, which was cool (Fairbanks has one in their library too). We checked out their wi-fi too, which is SUPER fast! Definitely better than Safeway haha (we bring our laptop/iPad with us so we can use fast wi-fi before going back to the house). Mom has been wanting to go to a health food store, and near one of the caches was a place that said "Health Center" and "Medical Marijuana Dispensary." Mom thought it was both, but when we tried to go inside the doors were locked and a guy came out saying it was just a Medical Marijuana Dispensary. LOL. Whoops. :P After we got home we introduced ourselves to our neighbor, Karen (she knows dad too, so he said we should introduce ourselves too). She was very happy to finally meet us and her dog Mandy ADORED me. I picked her up (she's a kind of poodle) and she kept licking my hands. Karen said she does that when she's really happy. Karen said she likes cats, so I meowed at her, and she perked up and got even happier haha! She put her paws on my chest (I was sitting on the couch) and tried to touch my face with her paw! (Like Snowy!) Awww..so cute!! We'll have to go over there again sometime..

Today we went on a tour of Zane Grey's house (which is a replica, since the original one burned in a forest fire in 1990) and a museum of Payson. It was actually pretty interesting! We get Zane's books at the bookstore sometimes, but I never knew his history or that he lived around here. He was a dentist, baseball player and traveled around the world. He also built a house on Catalina Island!!! How did I not know that?? It was cool seeing first editions of his books in his house too. I had to buy some of his books to read haha. The Payson museum had artifacts from Native Americans, more Zane Grey stuff, info on the fire from 1990 (6 firefighters died :(), etc. After the museum we hung out at the library for a bit till it closed and went to check out the airport (I made sure to glare at the beacon LOL). There's a good view of the Mogollon Rim from up there. Thenn we went back to the house (we just found one cache today :P)

Tomorrow we're driving to Santa Fe to visit Aunt Cindy and Uncle Dean! We're gonna stay a couple nights at least there. Cool, I haven't seen them in awhile!

Yay for finding 8 geocaches! Well done :)
LOL that sounds kinda awkward about the Medical Marijuana Dispensary ^^

Aww Mandy sounds so cute, more like a cat than a dog :) That's so adorable that she perked up when you meowed at her.

I hadn't heard of Zane Grey before, it sounds like he had quite an interesting life.
Have a nice time with your relatives!

Aww Mandy sounds so cute!! I love that she perked up even more when you meowed at her hehe :)

I love learning the history around places! That's cool that you got to tour Zane Grey's house and learn that he built a house on Catalina Island! How funny hehe.

Sweet with finding so many geocaches... You guys are amazing when it comes to that haha.
