Another Great Colorado Mountain Day

Sunday, the Cable Labs Small Market Conference started bright and early - 8:00 AM. Which for me, on a Sunday, definitely is bright and early. The Small Market sessions were quite good - it’s nice to hear from MSOs (Cable Operators) our size - we’re not a big guy like Comcast or Cox.

I conferenced until 3:00 PM and then played hooky for the last two hours - the weather was just so awesome. I couldn’t miss out. Geocaching was calling.

When I started geocaching five years ago, there weren’t that many caches in the Keystone-Arapahoe area. But now there are several really great hiking destination caches. Of course, for me at 9,000 feet, anything beyond a quarter mile counts as a hike. :-)

Sunday afternoon, was a reaffirmation of why we geocache. Stunning day. Stunning vistas. Places I never would have discovered without geocaching.

Why we geocache. Snake River Canyon. Two hundred yards down a wooded trail from the highway, I popped around corner and was greeted by this. OMG. It took my breath away.

Geocaching Still Life.

Self Portrait. Don’t laugh. This was hard. I had to find a hill with a rock that was high enough that I could set the camera and the timer and then run (at 10,000 feet) down hill and get to the spot before the camera fired.

Geocaching Humor. Note the deer vertebrae on the stump containing the cache. There was a deer kill close to the cache location.

    I’m always surprised when I actually do find one of these. :-)

    Have you tried the Geocache Navigator smartphone app? I’ve been using it on my E75 (and did use it on my E70) and love it. I’m pretty sure they have an iPhone version too.

    Cheers!

    I was thinking about you last night and geocaching. Some time when you are this close let me know you are coming and maybe I can make arrangements to join you.

    Sounds like a fun conference. Would be nice to to see what the little guys are doing. Maybe apply some of that to our industry.
