Kings Usery's Treasure - Arizona Geocaching

Taking Over King Usery's Treasure
Written by Rainbowrunner

After at least two years of not hiking, Challenger and I finally made it out to Usery Mountain. It was our first hike up Usery since taking over King Usery's Treasure geocache and it felt great to get on the trail again! As usual, we got a bit of a late start, we hit the trail around 11:30am. It was clear, sunny and warm, but a nice breeze kept us fairly comfortable most of the way up. We took our time and stopped many times along the trail to rest and take photographs. I think we both forgot just how steep the trail is in some places! It was a Thursday so the trail was mostly deserted,we only passed 4 or 5 other hikers on the way up. Neither of us carried a watch so I don't know how long it took us to get to the top, but we took another nice long break at the Wind Cave. The cave was still quite shady and there weren't as many bees as I remember the last time we hiked this trail. We were even able to get some neat photos of the bee hives.

What is Geocaching ?

What Is Geocaching?

Well, "Golly Gee", this seemed easy enough when I sat down to write it.....
But how do you outdo the quintessential "Mother- of- Invention", Geocaching.com ?!

I don't..... So first, here is a link to Geocaching.com's explanation of Geocaching. Geocaching.com

So now we can get on with my somewhat convoluted explanation of what Geocaching is.

BBQ Food Safety


#1 Barbecue and Food Safety

Cooking outdoors was once only a summer activity shared with family and friends. Now more than half of Americans say they are cooking outdoors year round. So whether the snow is blowing or the sun is shining brightly, it's important to follow food safety guidelines to prevent harmful bacteria from multiplying and causing foodborne illness. Use these simple guidelines for grilling food safely.

Kiva ! Helping Others

Making Helping More Personal

Microfinancing, the making of small loans to entrepreneurs in poor or developing countries, isn't new, but using the Web to connect individuals and borrowers takes online social networking to a new level.

Since starting up, nonprofit Kiva, which means "unity" or "agreement" in Swahili, has worked with more than 82,000 individuals to broker over $9 million worth of loans to over 11,000 entrepreneurs in 33 countries, from Mexico to Iraq.

Neither Kiva nor the lenders collect any interest (administration costs are funded by donations). Borrowers pay interest to Kiva's partners, microfinancing institutions around the world, who identify businesses in need and arrange the loans. In Iraq, Kiva works through an organization in Kirkuk funded by USAID. Investors can loan as little as $25, money they recoup when the loan is paid back (the default rate is less than 1 percent), or they may reloan the money.

Most people connect with their borrowers through journals on Kiva.org, but Kiva and its partners will help travelers arrange personal visits.

Kiva president Premal Shah, a former PayPal executive says,"It's all about knowing where your money goes and who it's helping and actually following that person"

We are pleased to tell you that we at XtO are, at this time, involved with Kiva and have helped with 30 loans so far. I am thinking of doing a special page just so our viewers can meet our entrepreneur friends in other countries...Thom
