There was a lot of stuff to see on the way to the caches. The park has its own Rodeo Arena.
Complete with grandstands.
No horses in the grandstands though.
There is a bicycle BMX park also. It looks like loads of fun..
I did a little trespassing and got up on the levee. Strictly forbidden,
but officer I wanted to get some shots of the Gerdau Steel Mill. It has been shut down, as far as I can tell, since 2009. The place used to be bustling. Pretty sad.
I finally got close to the cache. It is called "Jesse James." I am not going to spoil things by showing the cache location.
It is not named after the outlaw but a famous bucking horse. I googled and searched. There was a bucking horse of that name back in the early 1960's that couldn't hardly be ridden by anybody but I couldn't close the loop with Sand Springs, Oklahoma nor Willie Mendell. Anybody out there know anything about Jesse James the horse?
I love mysteries like that.
Well anyways, I got back to my car after all my wandering around and guess what...
All was well with my (Kia) Soul.
Have you had any good walks lately?

Great post, Yogi. Your photos are getting better and better. When I was little we used to pass through a town in N.M. where Jesse James was either killed or buried. Great memories.
What a nice walk. Enjoyed it.
Thanks for taking us on the walk! Probably the only one I'll have this week -- the rains have returned! Fun post/photos for the day -- as always! Enjoy your weekend, hope you have some more sun!

Another interesting lunch time jaunt. (How long do you get for lunch anyway?)
I haven't been out walking lately and miss it. Maybe today. It's suppose to be almost 60 degrees.
Well, dagnabbit....You had ME going...I thought sure it was gonna be about the outlaw. You had me going. And yes...I'm glad you didn't divulge anything where the bloggers go storming after the cache...it should be kept secret.
Great images, and love the color of your KiA
You have a good Soul, as the Oracle told Neo. I thought you would use a photo of your nifty little Kia for a Ruby Tuesday post.
Interesting post but my favourite picture is the tree - beautifully shaped trunk.
It is sad to see the mill closed. It appears to be in good shape. Perhaps it will be re-used again. The seats on the grandstand doesn't look wide enough to sit comfortably.
I think I may have been Jesse James the horse in my previous life. I feel a connection.
Cute girly car too!
No rodeo in your little arena but there was one in the arena near me this weekend. I missed another great photo op, I didn't realize it until I saw all the horse trailers on their way out. Darn!
