I just can’t find!

We are out caching today while staying at Wyndham Pagosa Springs for a few days. Thank you 4 Ward Hunters for hiding so many caches in the Pagosa Springs area. For several years, when I came here to vacation, it was actually hard to keep up my daily find streak because there were so few caches to find in the nearby area, often necessitating a trip to Durango or Silverton to cache and just be touristy. Thank you for injecting a little caching life into the local Pagosa Springs area by hiding so many caches. This particular cache was another one on my short list of ones to find while we were here. So, today we went out for a few finds and we spent several minutes almost ready to give up and then we found the stage in a very well concealed location. I signed the log and put it back where I found it the best that I could. Thanks for placing and (hopefully) maintaining.

So, I will apologize right now, because everything from here on is here solely for the purpose of increasing my word count average. It seems that there are caching statistical challenges that look at the word count averages in our “Found It” logs.

And now for today's trivia ...

NATIONAL ICED TEA DAY
National Iced Tea Day is observed annually on June 10th. This day is set aside to celebrate one of summer’s favorite drinks. Whether it is sweetened or unsweetened, with or without lemon, it is loved by many and enjoyed by the glass full all summer long.

Iced tea can be found in many flavors including lemon, peach, raspberry, lime, passions fruit, strawberry and cherry.

An alternative to carbonated soft drinks and quite popular in the United States, iced tea makes up about eighty five percent of all tea consumed. It can be readily found in restaurants, convenience stores, vending machines, grocery stores and self - serve soda fountains.

Recipes for iced tea have been found dating back to the 1870s. The Buckeye Cookbook, published in 1876 and Housekeeping in Old Virginia, published in 1877 both contain iced tea recipes. It is believed, however, that iced tea started to appear in the United States in the 1860's and became widespread in the 1870s where it was found offered on hotel menus and was on sale at railroad stations. The popularity of refreshing iced tea drink grew rapidly after it was introduced at the 1904 World’s Fair in St. Louis.

Green tea has been suggested to be used for a variety of positive health benefits.

Reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease
Some forms of cancer
Oral health
Reduce blood pressure
Weight control
Antibacterial and antiviral activity
Protection from solar ultraviolet light
Anti-fibrotic properties
Neuroprotective power

HOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL ICED TEA DAY

Brew and enjoy a glass of iced tea with friends. Enjoy a drink during lunch or dinner at your favorite restaurant.

TODAY IS ALSO ....

NATIONAL HERBS AND SPICES DAY
National Herbs and Spices Day is observed annually on June 10.

It is the season for fresh herbs and spices. They are an essential part of flavorful cooking as well as fun and easy to grow.

Raising your own herbs can be a form of relaxing therapy. Herbs and spices have been used for many hundreds of years, and besides making our food delicious, each has its specific health benefits. Growing your own herbs and spices is a great way to add fresh variety to your food. Herbs raised in your home add an aromatic and natural fragrance to the air.

Stopped next door this morning and forgot to look for this cache so we got it on our way back into town. Took longer than it should have since we were pretty sure we knew what we were looking for. Just missed the location during the first pass. TFTC
