And A Door Opens

I have decided to study Behavioral Psychology.

It came to me during a walk with wonderful Marmu.
I have never considered something in this way...because it did not have a purpose.
All reasons were connected to no servitude.

I don't aim to teach or even to practice...I just want to study it.
What comes of it is up to God for the purpose is not mine.

I will start with my own selection of texts...which would unavoidably lead to classes.

And my applied will be in the Effective Training of Marmu the Dog.

That's it. No other reason. It just dawned on me what lies ahead in these coming chapters.

"No Broken Bones" my ass!

Okay so, some of you may recall when last year I was struck head-on by a Tonka-Truck drivin' soccer-mom. The original opinion of the FMC staff was just a "contusion of the foot."

This February I went to see a local podiatric Surgeon about some pain and a bunion that was developing in that foot at the 1st metatarsal head.
His x-rays revealed what the swollen condition of my foot immediately after the accidents hid...a hairline fracture at the head of the proximal phalanges where it meets the metatarsal head--which increased to a full seperation. (here's my scientific illustration)

It was trying to heal itself, but how well and how long it would take was unknown.
And as some of you know, I work on my feet.

So, finally made the decision to get it removed and all sorts of other magik stuffs Dr. Rosales (DPM) recommended.
All in the interest of salvaging its heavy load carrying cabilities.

As far as riding is concerned and guiding...I'm laid up for the next few weeks!
I am not even allowed to think of carrying heavy loads until say February 2009.

If I recover like a champ I'll be on schedule still for the AZT this December 1st.

In regards to the Geocache Rally, I won't be able to ride it with all the players, but wasn't planning to entirely anyway (some body's gotta run it!) All the routing was finished on Tuesday and the hardest Geocaches where placed as well. Three weeks prior to the event I will place the last Geocache containers at their respective locations.
Basically all the ground work is done. Just gotta finish up all the logistics and get all the maps and all the roll-charts a complete status.

...which I now have plenty of time to do!

Geocache Rally on Schedule

Just added a link to the right side of this page that leads to The Coconino Geocache DS Rally site.
All official info will come from there.

All blogging will continue on Enduro-Adventures.

Cheers

First Geocaches Posted

Coconino Geocache Rally Players:

Take this link to the first set of Geocache Coordinates for your researching purposes.

I will continually update it with more coordinates.

There will be routing data to download eventually, stay tuned!

We are looking at about 150 miles of offroad without Bonus runs.

Cheers!

Mud Bath

Almost home!

Plenty of falls on toady's test ride...but clear of the sludge.
Placed several of the Bonus Geocache containers today and even discovered a fantastic 4x4 track that connects FS-91 and FS-226 (this is a very good thing!)

Heading home, at the edge of town I was...decided to take a side track detour from the paved road that would lead back. Doin' pretty good, then comes some sloppy muddy goodness, which the KLR decided it was interested in. So it dumps on its side, me along with it.

Anyway, I get her sludge covered mess that she is up from her bath, and she starts right up!

Fantastic.
