Firefighters in Prague


A little more than a year ago, I made my first visit to somewhere outside the US. My son, who had visited Prague before, took me along on a business/pleasure trip that included a lot of sightseeing and of course some geocaching, which is what brought us to this park.
The park was very crowded with school children and all kinds of activities and demonstrations like the fire trucks above. Being a volunteer fire fighter at the time, I couldn't resist checking out the truck and the gear. It was very much the same as what I was using back home.

More Cows




We just returned from vacationing in the west, including a visit to Sequoia National Park and the Grand Canyon. I thought this picture was a nice follow-up to my vend-a-moo cache from a couple weeks ago. We made a stop at a general store on the drive to Sequoia and this cow was in the side yard of the store/campground/garage/junk yard.


I like the cow, but it seems those western fellows are a little confused about where honey comes from. Oh well, they do call it "the land of milk and honey."
