The JAG Nation!


Those who think it is permissible to tell white lies soon grow color-blind. ~Austin O'Malley

It is hard to believe that a man is telling the truth when you know that you would lie if you were in his place. ~Henry Louis Mencken

Anybody who really knows me knows I am an honest person. My word actually means something! If I say something to you, you can rest assured I mean it. It has been brought to my attention that recently a few individuals thought it would be fun to try to spread rumors about me. To that I say, these people really need to get a life!! Moving on.........

JAG hosted a couple of fun events over the weekend that helped me remember why I love being a part of "The JAG Nation". First, we had a breakfast event that was very well attended. The food was great and it was really nice to see several new cachers from the area. We ate a great breakfast and then sat around and talked about caching for a while. Soon everyone was ready to head out for the next event.
We headed toward our next JAG event, mini golfing!! On the way there, we headed up a caravan of geocachers and grabbed a few caches here and there. When we arrived at the event location, there were already several cachers there sweating in the heat and before you know it, the entire golf course was full of JAG cachers whacking at little round balls of every color in the rainbow. It was a blast!!
After we all finished our games, it was time for the awards ceremony. Salamander60 placed first, Sweet Thang, (his wife) placed second, and Mrs T placed third. volnuts son Little Slugger even made a hole in one during the game!!! WTG!! There were tons of door prized handed out and just about everyone received something.
After the awards, I allowed everyone in attendance to go log my Special K cache which was very close to the mini golf course. (I had planned to change out the container so it could hold larger items anyway!) Everyone seemed to have a good time on a group cache hunt with only two GPSr's between them!!!
By this time everyone was starting to get hungry again so we headed over to Zaxby's for lunch and some much needed air conditioning!!

Yep, it helped me appreciate "The JAG Nation" and all the good friends I have here. Friends who know when I say something, they can trust me. Not because of some rule or contract, but because we're friends and that's just what friends do!
