Over the river and .... on the bridge?

The wifey (dfay1165) and I came up here with friends from Florida for a little sightseeing. They headed back to the condos and we spent some time at my favorite mountain pass in the world and found a few caches on our way back to our vacation condo. We stopped by here on our way through town. I will upload a picture of the two of us at the bridge after finding this well hidden cache fully deserving of a favorite point!! The water was rushing very fast down stream in the back ground. I did happen to bring the correct Tool Of The Trade to be able to remove the log and put it back.

So, I will apologize right now, because everything from here on is here solely for the purpose of increasing my word count average. It seems that there are caching statistical challenges that look at the word count averages in our “Found It” logs.

And now for today's trivia ...

NATIONAL RED ROSE DAY
Each year on June 12, people in the United States observe National Red Rose Day. It honors the flower that is a symbol of love and romance, the red rose.

The June birth flower is the rose.

Red roses were used in many early cultures as decorations in wedding ceremonies and wedding attire. It was through this practice that, over the years, the red rose became known as a symbol of love and romance. The tradition of giving red roses as the strongest message of love is still practiced today.

In June, red roses are in bloom in flower gardens across the United States, and their beauty and sweet scent fill the air with happiness.

HOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL RED ROSE DAY

Enjoy the pleasant scent of a rose.

TODAY IS ALSO ....

NATIONAL JERKY DAY
National Jerky Day is observed annually on June 12th. National Jerky Day was created to celebrate the rich history, immense popularity and nutritional benefits of dried meat snacks.

“In many ways, jerky is an ideal snack. Naturally packed with protein, jerky will keep you satiated between meals; but since it’s low in fat, calories and carbs, it won’t sabotage a healthy diet,” said Jeff LeFever, director of marketing for Jack Link’s® Beef Jerky, the No. 1 U.S. meat snack brand.

This nutrient-dense meat has been made lightweight by drying. A pound of meat or poultry will weigh only about four ounces once it is made into jerky, and it can be stored for months without refrigeration because most of the moisture has been removed. Salt is added to the meat before it is dried, to prevent bacteria from developing.

“Jerky” is a word derived from the Spanish word charqui, which came from the Quechua (a Native South American language) word ch’arki, which means to burn (meat).

Traditional jerky is readily available in nearly every convenience store, gas station, supermarket, and variety shop in the United States.

Due to its light weight and high level of nutrition, since 1996, jerky has been selected by astronauts as space food several times for space flights.

HOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL JERKY DAY

Snack on your favorite jerky. If you make your own, give a shout out. The process is satisfying and the results often bring friends and family clamoring for more.

HISTORY OF NATIONAL JERKY DAY

National Jerky Day was created by Jack Link’s Beef Jerky in 2012.

Found this one while out and about on a gorgeous Colorado day. I love this area so much! Third find of the day and I actually spotted this one before the hubby, HTBob, and that's really unusual. Tftc

Found it but by the time you get it out as it has no lid it is truly impossible to write on. A very very clever cache but does need maintenance.

Good hide! Almost impossible to get out and I couldn’t write on it. The photo gives it away.

Boy that was a knotty hide but we sure enjoyed it. We found it on our second attempt and we’ve never seen one like it!

Wow! Clever hide! Took us half hour to 45 minutes! We almost left! We kept going back to the hint. Went back to it about 10 times! TFTC
