11:10 AM Today we stopped at the farmer's market, as is our custom. We ran into our friends from Carroll Lakes, who had children and grandchildren in tow. We had a little field lab about geocaching at Memorial Park and bid the kids safe travel back to Dallas.

Then we came to Lovell Gulch to do an easier hike after a hard day yesterday. Another nice one. Cool SWAG.

I signed the log.

Thank you, 3 Williams Kidz, for the geocache.

Thanks for the fun cache. Alas, we underestimated the heat and didn't bring enough water. So we had to stop here and not go for the #6 cache

Started my trek down the trail just before 8 a.m. 3 caches to find to end this series. Found this one without a problem. I do not recall being on this side of the trail system before. It was a great little hike. SL and moved on. 2 more to go.

TFTC After my start to this series yesterday was interrupted by a trip to the airport, I thought I would finish it today. It was a beautiful day for a walk in the forest.

All was in good order.
