Another beautiful south Texas day, another afternoon of geocaching. This time we ended up in downtown Mission, more or less. The most noteworthy cache was the one that took us to the back of the police station ---- not my favorite place to be prowling around. Found the perfect spot for the cache but no cache. Ed finally checked to see if other people had found it ---- lots of sad faces (not founds) and comments indicating the cache was missing in action. After this Ed made sure the cache had been found before we spent time searching.

Close to the RV park is this little oasis --- it would be very pretty if it wasn't used as a repository for old concrete,

There's a tiny parkette outside of the history museum where we found some industrious ants. A video would have done a better job to show the ants marching back to their nest carrying leaves. The leaf in the hole is being carried by an ant and if you look closely you will see a few ants in the photo.

Behind the library and across the alley we found this "sculpture" ... or it is really just garage stacked in the back yard.

A beautiful golf course backs onto the recreation center. Between them is an irrigation ditch ... well some kind of ditch. Was the sofa placed here so the birds would have a comfortable place to rest or was someone too lazy to take the couch to the dump?

Another feature of geocaching --- it takes you to interesting areas that you would never otherwise see.
