He races small sprints At the Price race way. It's something he likes. What can I say? The World of Outlaw Racing He wanted to see. And maybe we'd do Some geocaching for me. Thought to quit smoking Before the trip. But knew with the travel I'd probably slip. So we packed up the truck With smokes and the rest. And, yes, I remembered My GPS. Got to Mesquite And hit our first site If you guessed it was Rhyme Time, Then you were right! I knew of the rules Before we got there. But I sighed to myself, "Sir Gerald, not fair." I looked at the topics And tried to pick one. But rhyming is something Not easily done. Make a note of a couple, To myself I said. I'll pick one after They've run through my head. We met with some friends From old high school days. They made the trip From their home in G.J. Off to Vegas we went For big Sprints and NASCAR. Planned on some fun After driving so far. The racing was great. No problems there. But it set Hubby's mind Wandering off somewhere. Of racing, he's thinking, And even daydreaming. I can see his mind working And plotting and scheming! "Racing Sprints," I say quickly, "is not earning a living. Wrecking those things Would be unforgiving!" After leaving our friends And heading up North. Of friendships and racing We talked back and forth. Then suddenly I reached Deep down in my purse, Grabbed a pen to start writing This long epic verse. Hiking the racetrack And then to cache rocks Had us worn out, Right down to our socks. It's been a fun trip And we found some close caches. But decided to pass On some of the stashes. We can go to Las Vegas And watch those boys. And ooh and ah At the size of their toys. But Minisprints in Price Is the way we will go. Those are our friends, The people we know. It's been a fun trip Now I'm ready to try it. I'll quit smoking when I'm back To my own piece and quiet. Now my story's all done. That's the end of the poem. I'm happy to be back To my own little home! -- ruinedtrip ----------------------------------- Dinner and a movie: We went out to a dinner and a movie. All dressed up and looking Groovy.

We searched for three caches, but found only two, then headed to Vegas to find Temple View. With time running out, and the game getting near, We sprd to the campus to root and to cheer. We looked for the stadium, searched high and low, then asked for directions. Did anyone know? We drove round in circles, and checked out the campus. Then found that the stadium was out on the pampas. We followed the traffic, we stopped and we started, then off in the distance, we saw the road parted. Some went to the left, others drove to the right, to circle the structure, and park their cars tight. We hurried inside. Thru the crowd and cheers. We dodged past the burgers, the dogs, and the beer.
