Remember The Exorcist? In modern popular culture, 666 has become the most widely recognized symbol for (take your pick) the Antichrist or the Devil. Any way you look at this number, it ain't good.
But, 666, that's the number we've been sitting on for months. And, that just can't be good. Can it?
You see, for the longest time that's the number of geocaches we've found since we started this obsession several years ago. 666. It's been haunting us for awhile now.
So, today, we set out to change that not-so-auspicious number. We loaded up a few caches on the GPS and set out on a three-hour stroll around Cortez. With four caches on our "radar", we headed to our now favorite Cortez park to pick up a couple. Then, we headed north a bit to score another. Finally, we strolled "downtown" for our fourth find of the day. Then, we checked out the local quilt shop and a nifty grocery store that's just a few steps away from our RV park.
Our four-for-four day resulted in some good finds and a great hike.
Most importantly, we have a new number: 670.
That's so much better!

I find that I notice any time I use 666 in notations when I'm doing a SUDUKO puzzle. I'm not superstitious, but I notice!
Are you aiming for 1000?
Congrats on getting rid of the 'devil number'!
I found a couple good ones in and near Dolores when we were there last summer. Have you gone up the river into the mountains yet? It's lovely - so close to the plains and yet mountainous. Also, the La Platas to the west - a mecca for mountain bikers. If you're into Indian ruins, go to the Anasazi Heritage Center just south of Dolores, and then wander over to the Canyons of the Ancients. I have some posts about it on my blog from last summer. I also visited that great quilt shop on Main Street!
Sounds like a perfectly PERFECT day to me... so fun and finally away from the dreaded 666.
Have fun & Travel safe
