9 hours

Well - it all started with a question - doesn't that seem like the way it always does? Where do you want to go today?

We looked up some geocaches and Stephen planned out a route - and we were on our way around noon. Our trek began toward the beach stopping at the Grand Ronde Spirit Mountain Casino! We spent 4 dollars and got some free pepsi while we rested our bums!
2 miles from the casino is this great oregon history sign and a geocache! Our only problem was that we forgot a pen! So we don't get credit for this one - but we'll catch it next time! Then you wouldn't believe what happened! We headed out toward Hebo - and I convinced Steve to head out to the cheese factory for some squeeky cheese for him and just cause I like the cheese factory... and they were having their 100th birthday party!!!!!
They had all these cute little booths, food and music. They featured their new 100th anniversary Ice Cream and cheese flavor! YUM YUM! It was so cute!
This was one of their little "Baby Loaf's" VW vans! It was the most adorable thing!!!
AWWW! We really love this little tradition of placing our helmets next to our excursions! If you look deep into the hubcap you can see us standing in it!
Our next geocache was at Siletz bay near this little gazebo. It was a great little hiding spot!
9 hours later.... we were back in McMinnville enjoying the sunset!

I'm sure Steve's story will be much more engaging and entertaining - but after 9 hours - I'm tired!!!

Here's a map of where we were!
