Casa De Ross: geocaches

A couple of good geocaches with long hikes in.

This one was a really good one, about two miles in, only 8 people have done it in a few years, but the ones who did give great reviews on it. Two waterfalls with pools. We may go back this summer. Big ammo box which Luke loves.

Dad went with us on this one, outside of Mena going up toward Queen Wilhelmina SP. Another ammo can at an old CCC dam that you walk across.

View of the old lake that use to supply Mena with water.

People Will Come

Ray, people will come Ray. They'll come to Iowa for reasons they can't even fathom. They'll turn up your driveway not knowing for sure why they're doing it. They'll arrive at your door as innocent as children, longing for the past. Of course, we won't mind if you look around, you'll say. It's only $20 per person. They'll pass over the money without even thinking about it: for it is money they have and peace they lack. And they'll walk out to the bleachers; sit in shirtsleeves on a perfect afternoon. They'll find they have reserved seats somewhere along one of the baselines, where they sat when they were children and cheered their heroes. And they'll watch the game and it'll be as if they dipped themselves in magic waters. The memories will be so thick they'll have to brush them away from their faces. People will come Ray. The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds us of all that once was good and it could be again. Oh... people will come Ray. People will most definitely come.
