Went out with Dave for a little while this morning.
Dave opted for a church in his neck of the woods instead of the park I hunted last week. Proved to be a good decision on his part. :yes:

We hunted together for about two hours before the sun, humidity, lack of sleep and the remnants of a cold
got the best of me. Reluctantly I decided to head home but not before picking up two random Wheats,
a six coin Wheat spill and then a lonely Merc.

On the way out of town I stopped by a convenience store to gas up. Grabbed a slice of pizza and ice cold water and replenished.
Felt pretty good so I wanted to go back and hunt with Dave. On the way back I spied a very small park and decided
to take it for a test drive before reuniting with Dave. Wanted to see if the park would be worth a
return trip one day. Turned out I never did make it back up to the church. :rolleyes: lol

Within 5 minutes I had a deep 'dig me' signal that revealed the Barber. A couple steps later a deep IH... the rest are a blur. lol

Although the park is very small, Dave and I plan to make a return trip very soon.

It looks like you found the entire tribe of Indians! lol

Holy cow! That's amazing! Some of them have very little wear at all, and they all came out of the ground looking nice! That's a spectacular day!

Strange... the AD site must be a little messed up. What appears to be one of Angel's posts (on a good day) must have somehow got substituted over yours. lol rofl :poke: lol
