Thursday November 4, Irving Texas

It was the last night of my week in the Dallas, TX area. I got a shuttle ride to a restaurant nearby, then after dining I took a walk around to log a pair of geocaches, each less than 500 feet from the restaurant. Once again this was the "parking lot" variety of geocache, micro-sized but not terribly difficult to find. Did it under the cloak of darkness and street lighting. Unfortunately I still don't have the full knack of making my cellphone save photos I take. I managed to only wind up with 2 shots.

First one was at a hotel directly behind my restaurant. Parking lot was fully fenced around the property, and the lamp post it was hiding in was way at the back with no hotel-room windows looking down on it.

Second one was a different hotel adjacent to the west. In years past when I was in this town for work I had actually stayed at this particular hotel more times than I can remember. I know the property pretty well. This cache was just a magnet sticking to the back with a log sheet. It was all full of logs so I could not sign it.

And here's some more photos of my trip to Dallas taken with my crappy cellphone cam. First up, a sunset on Monday night as I waited for the hotel shuttle to come get me at a bookstore.

Sparrows seemed to be drawn to me indoors. One flew right into the hotel lobby, past me seated at on a sofa, landed on the front desk right in front of the young lady working and started chirping at her. This one here flew into the DFW airport terminal and was hopping around near my feet.

The sunset as I flew home Friday night. This should be somewhere over south or southeastern Wisconsin, right before landing at Milwaukee.

So that's it. Back home now, there is no way to extract the gps walking log from my phone for the usual Google Earth overview. Had some fun during my down-time while taking in some training for my job.
