New Geocache, Comedian Jeff Dunham And More

We came across an email from a friend with a funny video of this ventriloquist, Jeff Dunham. When we watched the video, we were laughing so hard that we just had to see if he was visiting Florida anytime soon and as luck would have it, he was performing at the Orlando Improv this weekend. It was well worth the trip...

In this picture, you can see him on stage with one of his puppets named 'Walter'. Walter is a crotchety old fart that complains about everything. Unlike most ventriloquists, Jeff Dunham has multiple dummies with strikingly different voices, personalities and manerisms. He has Walter, Peanut (our favorite), Jose Jalapeno (on a STEEK!), Sweet Daddy D, Melvin the Superhero, Achmed the Terrorist & Bubba J. We were laughing so much, breathing was difficult.

We were on the upper deck of the Improv.

And boy, we were jammed in there wall-to-wall like sardines! It was still fun though. We quickly forgot about all of the people around us when Jeff started his bit.

We also decided to place another geocache in the neighborhood. We named this one, Dragon's Lair. This style of cache is called a "Letterbox-Hybrid" because it has a rubber stamp and a stamp pad in it to swap stamp marks. We saw that this type of cache isn't very common, so we just had to place a cache that Geocachers and Letterboxers could both hunt for near our house. Obviously, you will need to come up with the combination for the padlock before you can see what's inside.

And here is a picture of the contents. There is a logbook, a rubber stamp with a picture of a dragon laying down (that's why it's called Dragon's Lair), a red ink stamp pad, a pen for geocachers that don't carry a rubber stamp and fastened to the door is a letterboxing geocoin that people can write down the number and discover it to get this really neat icon:

Hopefully, it will be as popular as our Dr. Seuss themed, "1 Fish, 2 Fish, I Fish, U Fish" geocache has been.

While we were in Orlando, we decided to visit a couple of geocaches (of course). This one had a great point of view for this rainbow.

The next geocache took us into this cemetary. This was our first cemetary cache and it was so strange, trying not to step on somebody while perfoming the photography and collecting information for this virtual cache.

The next search actually involved finding a big container and signing the logbook. Kind of creepy with all of those headstones around us and a mean-looking storm coming at us...

And finally, we come to this cute little snapping turtle that Luann found in the road while on the way to the store. She brought him home for me to put somewhere safe, so I took a picture of him on the hood as the rain started coming down, then drove him (of course, he was inside the truck for the trip) to a canal up the road and dropped him in. Hope he likes his new digs...
