Trish made nachos to have during the game. We all wore our jerseys and watched the Seahawks dismantle the 49ers. It was awesome. A quick recap of what happened:
The offense took a big step forward--they scored touchdowns on their first two drives and Christine Michael carried 20 times for 106 yards.
Doug Baldwin was unstoppable--he caught eight passes for 164 yards and a touchdown, one of the best games in his NFL career.
Jimmy Graham was a big part of the offense--he had six catches for 100 yards and a touchdown, his second 100-yard game as a Seahawk.
The defense was impressive again, including a takeaway--through two games the Seahawks had allowed the fewest points and yards in the NFL.
That was vintage Kam Chancellor--he finished the game with eight tackles. When the Seattle's defense is at its best, Chancellor is in the middle of everything, making opponents feel is presence-literally and figuratively.
Boykin made some nice plays and a rookie mistake--he came in for Wilson, who left with a knee injury, completing 7-of-9 passes for 65 yards and a touchdown pass to Baldwin...he did however thrown an interception right to the 49ers linebacker, luckily Seattle was in a comfortable lead when the turn over occurred.
We took it from the 49ers 37 to 18 and never looked back. The game was awesome.
I still was antsy about going outside and enjoying the sunshine. I talked everyone into going geocaching with me. I chose the four in the Enumclaw area. I looked at some of the logs to make sure they were all there and if they have been found recently. Since we drove Ben's car we made room in the back for Amy and Trish.
I've never been out to the Mud Mountain Dam area but I have been on the road only to the south entrance to Pinnacle Peak. I was hoping the park was open but it was Sunday. We meandered along the road talking about random stuff. I asked Trish if she had been out here and she said yeah, but it has been a long time.
We reached the gate and sadly it was closed so that meant the park was closed too. We had to park in the small parking area and walk along the trail to the cache site. I was really excited to see the dam. I guess we will have to come back when it's open. Rainier100 2: Mud Mountain Dam (GC63VE0) overlooked the Puyallup River but from here we could not see the dam. The coords took us near the fence but we didn't find anything so I expanded the search area closer to the bench and found a pile of sticks covering the container. Everyone met me there, we signed our names and took a group picture before putting it back.
We walked back but this time on the road instead of the trail. Ben gave Amy a hard time the entire way back to the car. Trish and I brought up the rear talking about Ben making fun of Amy. We followed Mud Mountain Dam Road until it reached 410 on the Enumclaw side. I saw where it popped us out and had once stopped here on my way to Yakima a few years ago. Of course it was to stop and get a cache.
The next one on my list was Rainier100 1: A Family Farm (GC5VMD0) and it was placed with permission by the owner who owned the property. I read the hint and it was going to be hidden inside a chicken feeder. I was excited! We arrived at the said coordinates and got out. The place was adorable. It's too bad we were here on a Sunday with everything closed. It was called The Mason Jar Farm and it believes in bringing the rewards of farm fresh to families and teaching children about food and what it means to be sustainable. I would definitely come back here at some point on a day when it was open. I had Trish open up the chicken feeder and there was the cache! We signed our names, took a picture and put it back where we found it. We admired the little farm a couple more minutes before we headed back towards town.
Rainier100 4: Promotion to Glory (GC6QAG9) was also in a spot I've been to previously. It was at the veterans memorial with the large purple heart. We parked in the lot next to it and walked over. I was hoping the container wasn't near the guy sitting on the bench with his bike. It was a little further nestled inside of the bushes off the edge of the grass. It was a dumb place but it had to be hidden away and there just wasn't that many spots at this little park. We signed it, put it back and headed back to the car.
We headed to the final to A Logging Legacy. I also have been here a few times. Once with Bob and Bev and another separate time with Ben. They must have had to archive the one that used to be here for the geotour one to be able to be here. I let them find it. We admired the rings on the log and talked about some of the dates that were highlighted on small metal plaques.
We headed back to the house and started packing up our stuff. We always hate this part mostly because we don't really get to see his mom and sister very often and the time seems to go by fast while we are there. We couldn't stay for dinner unfortunately and we said our goodbyes. From there we headed over to Walt and Wendy's house to visit and to talk about the upcoming haunted house they do on their property every year. Last year the weather ruined it so we didn't have it. We stayed until about 9:30 and then it was time to head the hour home.
We got home, I took everything out of the car, got ready for bed and passed out. Mondays area always busy and you need as much sleep as you could get.
