Remember Bob Crane and Hogan's Heroes????

Went for a nice walk this am and while out and about, did some geocaching.  As usual, we end up in unique places we might not have otherwise.  And boy, this one beats them all! Bob Crane was a comedic television actor and was known as the leader of a band of POW's during WWII in a show called 'Hogan's Heroes". Years after the show ended, he infamously had his life snuffed out by a never caught murderer...  Kinda weird... though the murder never was solved, they now think they might know who did it, but he passed away recently... Anyway, this was what they call a virtual geocache.  You don't necessarily sign anything... but come to a place and have special instructions.  Sometimes it's solving a riddle, sometimes it's a geographical question... and in this case, it was taking a pic, at a discreet distance, of the unit in the complex.  The condo is owned by a new owner now and you are asked NOT to contact him (the Geocache owner has been in touch with the owner but there is no reason for anyone else to contact him).  Anyway, we had to be discreet so we acted like we were just enjoying taking selfies... and yet trying to get the condo in the background... yup, we looked pretty goofy!
The afternoon found us poolside for a bit after a nice little lunch.  Ronda had been in touch with us, so we were going to their place for a meal in the evening.  They have a gorgeous place in Peoria... right on the Trilogy Golf Course.  
We took off and noticed in the distance, weird dots in the horizon/sky.  Then, it dawned on us, it was a Hot Air Balloon Mass Ascension.... Awesome!  Took the pics from a moving car, so they're not the best but you get the idea!
Arrived at our destination!  Great burgers, beautiful  sunset and wonderful company!  Thanks Scott and Ronda!

Tomorrow we leave for Tucson for some Diva Time... Cannot wait!  
But first, we'll take a side trip to Emily's for a quick hug before we get on the road!  









Sunset was so colorful!
