More Geocaching & Getting lost.

We got up, had a continental breakfast in the hotel lobby, checked out and then headed out to do some more Geocaching on the way home. At one point we got really turned around and couldn't figure out where we were in relation to the 101 freeway. We had thought we were on the east side of the 101, but we were somehow on the west side of the 205. The three maps & the GPSr were not helping. The AAA map we had was of the city of San Francisco and didn't show the part of town we were in, and the Thomas Mapbook didn't have enough detail. We were driving semi-aimlessly, when Kevin said, "Geocache 'GC10JFA' just came on the GPS screen." I was able to look up the cache and see that it was right in front of the City College of San Francisco. From that, we were able to figure out where we were, and in the bargain, find another cache! Geocaching is so great!

We finally got back where we wanted to go, drove out to Treasure Island and spent some time exploring the old naval base. We left the city and headed to Pleasanton for lunch and some more geocaching. Then it was time to head home. It was great to see the girls and have them run out to give us hugs as we drove up and to hear of all the adventures they had this weekend.
