Wednesday starts with another beautiful sunrise over the river…and a wildlife invasion of the bug variety.
A giant spider (one that’s harmless, I hope) sits menacingly by the door. Roaches appear in surprising places – in the dishwasher, inside shower spongies, on toilet paper rolls. Discussion ensues on the best way to kill roach eggs when we return home.
After a fun game of “key fishing” after dropping the cabin’s lone door key through a space in the deck, we head into town. 
We spend a majority of the afternoon geocaching around the area. We’re only marginally successful. We find all the clues to a multi-stage cache, but not the final objective, which was hidden somewhere in or near a blackberry bramble. (Ouch!)
Yet another cache is either well-hidden or destroyed. But despite these setbacks, we have a lot of fun and finally learn how to use the GPS device I’d purchased as a Christmas gift for Kelly a few years ago.
It’s a dash back to the cabin to clean up and rehydrate so we can head into town for a nice dinner out at a local lakeside restaurant. 
Overall, our food was very good. We all fell so in love with an appetizer’s cilantro-cumin dipping sauce that we begged the chef to give us at least a partial list of ingredients. Next on our agenda: recreate the sauce based on my cryptic cell phone notes.
Our waiter is a management trainee and is just as nice as can be. He also, unfortunately, has a dish drop disaster while clearing away our appetizers – treating us to the most unusual and spectacular cocktail sauce splatter radius that we’ve ever seen.
Winding down the evening in the hot tub, we star-gazed and enjoyed the fire-fly show. Now this is what I call relaxing.
jealousy is beginning to set in!
