22,000 geocaches found - March 18

The temperature dropped more than 10 degrees between yesterday and today. Yesterday we had a high of 28 and today a high of 17.  It was a good day to head to San Vicente again to finish el camino del Sabinar, the trail that we had started last week. From the end of the metro line we took a bus to the hospital and from there another bus that would take us 3/4 of the way to the end of the trail. This bus only goes by every 2 hours, so it was important not to miss it. For a while Jacques and I were the only ones on the bus until another man got on.

We disembarked at our spot and walked to the end of the series of caches that we wanted to do. When we were at the farthest point, we had our first rain of our trip. Happily, it only rained for about half an hour but by then we were a bit wet. We dried pretty quickly when the rain stopped as we walked away from the mountain back towards town. 19 km and 27,500 steps later we back in town at the tram stop. We found 30 caches today including our 22,000th cache. We now have only 994 caches to find for our next thousand.

Needless to say, tomorrow is a stay close to the apartment day.

Every property has some sort of gate and fence.

Field of fennel. Amazing that anything can grow. Everything looks so dry.

Heading way out of town to start our trail.

Interesting wall topping.

Small chapel along our hike.

Almond orchard.
