Rest stop geocaches are fun.

This rest stop hide is located on the west-bound side. You are looking for a micro container.

If you do not find the cache, a DNF log is appropriate and that is why that capability is implemented on this website. In the situation where you do not find the cache, you should not enter a find log. Thanks for your cooperation!

My favorite movie of all time is not The Sound Of Music. It is not The Wizard Of Oz. It is not 101 Dalmations, The Lion King, or Toy Story. Die Hard? Nope. Rocky? Naw. Star Wars? No. 2001? No, HAL. The Shining? An excellent movie, but no. It is not a drama, a comedy, or a tragedy. It is not a horror film, a suspense film, a mystery. It is not a western, a musical, a documentary, or a chick flick.

My favorite movie of all time is an action-packed, adrenaline-filled, CGI masterpiece blowout!

Transformers!

I'll admit it. There is a lot of kid in me. A lot of nerd too. I think robots are cool. Especially robots that shoot and fight and fly and stomp and flip and phaser and electromagnetic pulse and laser burn and track and target and engage and extrapolate and hack and transmit and jam.

Add to that the transforming capability? Genius! Just pure genius! The Transformer concept was a stroke of genius from toy to movie.

We saw it when it first came out, a while ago. At the Rave. We love the Rave.

In my opinion, the best shot ever created in cinema history is in this movie...

The (human) hero and (human) heroine had just undergone a hair-raising ride in Bumblebee, who is the Autobot that transforms into the yellow Camaro. Early in the movie, Bumblebee is an old beater 76 Camaro. Rusty with scratches and faded paint, and dents and all that.

So the hero and heroine had just gone on a white-knuckle ride in old rusty Bumblebee, careening through the city at ludicrous speeds. They finally stop inside a tunnel.

Well, the heroine jumps out of the car, shaken up by the whole experience. The hero also gets out and follows her because she's hot and he wants her to get back in. She starts yelling about the car, finally calling it a "hunk of junk".

Well when he hears this, Bumblebee takes off down the tunnel, smoking the tires and seemingly upset. A few moments later, he reappears in a scene that is one of the best I have ever seen.

The scene is simply a shot of Bumblebee slowly rolling up. But he has changed. He is no longer a thirty-year-old "hunk of junk". He has turned into the awesome new 2009 Camaro Concept car. The scene is in slow motion, and the music playing is "Battle Without Honor or Humanity" (the theme song from "Kill Bill"). Wow! That was all I could say. All I could think.

Perfect!

The 2009 Camaro is one bad machine.

I have always liked Camaros. I used to own an 83 Camaro. Red. It is still in the family.



Have fun!
