I wondered […] Scott after passing his Board of Review Scott passed his Eagle Scout Board of Review tonight. He is all smiles. He said that he has been a scout most of his life and he is glad to reach this goal. […] Jacob climbing rocks on Mt. Rubidoux while geocaching For several weeks Jacob and I talked about Geocaching on Mt. Rubidoux. Today was finally the day. We started up the down road and quickly found cache GCZ1GD – Monsters in the Bushes. Then we headed for GCZ1GK – Vulture’s Hideout. I thought I was […] |
