Are we there yet?

Guess what? We're not going to the store
Look all around, have you seen this before?
Turn every map upside down
Today is the day we leave this town

Colorful lines row upon road
Lead to the places we won't go
Don't pack your bags or drag your worries along
Get in the car, it's time we're gone

It's Saturday morning or Christmas eve
Don't waste a second, I just want to leave
We'll find that place that's so hard to find
Playing music in the back of my mind

It's calling you, it's calling me
Back to the place where we used to be
We laughed and played and had some fun
Where have all those good days gone?
We'll find it again
Just come with me

In different places and yet we get through
Wrapped up in our lives, you know it's true
No money, no problems, I think we're set
Have you had enough of all this yet?

For a minute, I thought we wouldn't make it back
And for a minute, the calm that we seem to lack
It was there in the corner of my eye
In the back of my mind, it passed overhead
A shadow from the sky

It's calling you, it's calling me
Back to the place where we used to be
We laughed and played and had some fun
Where have all those good days gone?
We'll find it again
Just come with me

Even after the long road ends
And after it all comes to rest again
We'll still be there, I have no doubt
It's who we are within, without
We'll find it again
Just come with me

Photos and a geocache

Today during lunch I went out to take a few pictures.

There was a lot of moss on the trees.

As I was taking this, I kept hearing a rustling sound and half expected something to jump out and bite my face off. Nothing came out and my face is still intact.

This is a tree.

The view from atop a bluff.

It started to rain, but before I left I found something sticking up out of a hollowed out log. A piece of bark lay on top and when I removed it...

Wow! A geocache. I've never seen one before and luckily this one wasn't very well hidden or I probably never would have noticed it.

Inside there was a log that each person who found it could write down their name and the date. There wasn't a pen in it, so I couldn't log my find. It did have a random assortment of other stuff, though. There was a small stuffed animal, a bracelet and some other stuff. Not sure what that was about. Anyway, it was a cool find and sort of made my day.
