One of my recent travels has been across the state to Knoxville. My ASU Indians were playing UT. I was fortunate enough to get tickets to the game from my friend, Prontopup...AKA, Joe, The Pup, and Cotton Man. I was expecting a blowout. What I got was so much more!
I decided to make a weekend of it and left with a friend of mine on Friday. We cache on the way...without a palm. That meant no hints! Sure, it took longer to find the caches, but they were found without "cheating." I actually DID use a PAF a couple of times. Thanks, again, Joe! The first PAF that I had to use was at a cache called "Not A Tax Shelter." I actually spotted the cache and didn't know it! Anyway, it took us about 8-9 hours to get to Knoxville. Part of that time was spent sitting in a traffic jam because of a horrible accident. Once in Knoxville, we quickly found the hotel and more quickly fell asleep.
On Saturday, we decided to cache a little before the game. We found several caches and then went back to the hotel to get ready. We ended up finding 3 more caches on the UT campus. The game was great...ASU did better than I thought! I was able to see Chris Walker play. He is the son of my friend, Gloria. He actually plays for UT! He is on the punt and kickoff return teams...as a freshman! Anyway, it was OK seeing all of the orange in the stadium. I didn't cringe too badly. The folks were actually very nice. After the game, we made the marathon walk back to the car. Then back to the hotel. Once again, we were beat!
On Sunday, we slept in a little. When we finally left, we once again began caching on the way home. It was a very long trip, to say the least. I was trying to get home before 7 so I could catch the Chicago Bear/Dallas Cowboy game. I should not have rushed(I'm glad they are benching Grossman...finally!).
Once again, I want to say thanks to my friend Joe, who made this trip possible for me. He even made up cute little maps to everywhere!

Wow...It's Been A Long Time!
So, I have been reading blog post by some of my friends, and I realized that it has been a while since I have posted one of my own! I really have not had too much to talk about, as I have been busy with work and volleyball. I have recently come back to the world of the living and it feels good! Let me talk for just a bit about my most recent "adventures."
I attended The Cooper Young Festival. I arrived pretty late as I had to work the ACT test at my school. I was not going to go at all but at the last minute a friend of mine called and said they were eating sushi at the corner of Cooper and Young. I LOVE sushi, so off I went. There were a lot of crazy looking people at the event, however, that is what made it fun. The booths were OK...nothing great and wonderful...
The next event that I will be attending is the ASU/UT game this weekend. You know that I can really care less about TN...sorry Pup...but I attened ASU, and Pup was kind enough to give me tickets to the game. I will have to write about the game in my next post. Suffice to say, I am excited about going!
