a new height in Geek-dom




We went to Tahoe for the big GeoCaching event. Geeks from around the globe gathered...the funny thing was this event coincided with Tahoe's (self proclaimed) "Opening Day." That means there were those of us, GPS in hand on the same streets with the margarita by the yard drinking Nevadans mixed in with the snobs from Heavenly Village (yes, they're trying to compete with Squaw)...we almost got lost in the fray but wound up doing a bit of it all. We found four caches, went into MontBleu, Rich checked out the W oars (purposely misspelled) dressed in four inch platform patent leather boots, watched the motocross crazies flipping and ate at Wolfgang Puck Express...The place was PACKED and by 3 I suggested we get home to our normal crazies...oh and we started our Tahoe adventure seeing something that I've never seen before...we turned from the highway to skirt the city hub and out runs this adult bear, I SWEAR, Rich initially didn't slow down cause it was sooooooo surreal... but of course he did stop. The bear gave us the paw and didn't stop to say hi! Happy father's day to all you fathers out there!
