Finding new hobbies

We have found that we really like to play shuffleboard.  It is very popular here at Peace River.  We planned on playing pickle ball, but the first time we played Ed hurt his knee and we haven't played since.

We played it once about 40 years ago, and we liked it than.  Don't know what took us so long to play again.

Than the other thing we are really enjoy is the digging for shark teeth.  We went up the river with a guy we call River Bob.  When he goes out, he stays out all day.  We wear waders, he wears water shoes and shorts.  And Bob is 74 years young.   Bob has been showing us some places he has found some large shark teeth. 

                                             This is what we look like when we go out.
                                                                             Ed is taking a break 
                       
                                                     Is this a fashion statement or what?

                                               Can you believe we pile all this stuff in the canoe?

Ed never could get me into fishing, but I love this.  Also I love the river.  It is so peaceful.  I feel like we are in the Amazon.   We didn't see any wildlife except for a few turtles.  Here are some pictures but it is so much better being there in person. 





The other thing we have started is geocaching (pronounced cashing).  People hide things and give you the coordinates.  You download them into your GPS and go look for them.  The other day we went out and our batteries died.  We ended up meeting someone and since our gps was dead we just followed them around.  We had a good time just talking to them.  The next time we will take extra batteries.

It is a good way to explore your surrounding area. 

Happy Trails    Love Ed and Lyn
