animjason's D/T Challenge

06/21/2019 By fam2go
On our way back to ABQ decided to stay here a few days to go to the event tonight. Slipped out after the event in FTF mode with everyone in attendance. Then came back after that. We almost didn't because of the rain but got 1/2 way back to the hotel and it stopped so we turned around. Almost couldn't open the container but finally got it, thanks for another great challenge! See our profile page for qualifiers.

Greetings from the UK. We are on our holidays!!! Day 1: The start of our 12 day road trip around Colorado, Utah and Wyoming (a geocaching road trip from Denver to Yellowstone and back again) began with an upgrade to business on our 9hr flight ? from London, which is always nice. Found our AirBnB . Without any trouble and nipped out to find a cache to get us up and running. Day 2: Set of this morning, to cache and around Denver, quick stop for a proper American breakfast at the Denver Biscuit company, in Atomic Shack. However, after lunch as the weather was gorgeous we decided to leave the city any we missed could be picked up at the end of our road trip, and head out to the Mount Evans scenic route. Saw a fox , who got a little too close for comfort and also took a short walk to see the Bison. Ended the day with a trip to a TB hotel, in Downtown, to drop off a couple of TBs from the UK and collect a few to take with us on our trip. The 3rd mishap of the day, led us getting Diz’s meal for free at a restaurant as they managed to mess up her pizza order . C’est la vie. We had a great time overall and found 21 caches today.
Day 3: Today we decided to take a slow drive out of Denver, collecting a few caches
on the way as we headed to Colorado Springs. Breakfasted at the Delectable Egg, staged via Walmart to buy Diz a replacement camera and took the slow road out. Weather still lovely . Had fun collecting a few chosen caches, that will help us meet other challenge caches, including a 5/5 and a TB hotel. Made a snap decision as we entered Colorado Springs to head out to collect some virtuals and earthcaches , which meant we discovered the amazing Garden of the Gods – very helpful man ??? in the Trading post too, and the pretty town of Manitou Springs. We then decided to head West to collect a few more challenge caches, and then headed to our Air BnB . Set out for dinner at Alchemy, a Gastro Pub on their recommendation – which was inspired, as the had star wars day specials and the waitress was in costume , great Mac n Cheese and Boba Fett and the thermal detonators – also staged via the amazing Memorial park for a few more virtuals and ended on a traditional in the carpark neat the pub.

This spring I've decided to do another epic geocaching trip to pick up some special caches in the United States.

Starting in London, I fly to Seattle, then Denver, then Atlanta, then New York before finally heading back to London.

After arriving from Seattle I drove east and stayed in a dodgy motel in Wray but it meant first thing I could grab a cache in Haigler NEBRASKA. From there I went into KANSAS for the two most important targets - Arikaree and MINGO! The rest of the day was spent targeting regular sized trads and virtuals in OKLAHOMA and NEW MEXICO.

The next morning was focussed in getting JASMER caches and a WEBCAM in COLORADO, with the rest of the day for virtuals and D5 challenge caches.

STATS FOR DENVER:
1x Webcams
27x Virtuals
7x D5 Challenge Caches (3x not qualified yet)
14x Other Caches
5x New States (Nebraska,Kansas,Oklahoma,Colorado,New Mexico)

TOTAL FINDS: 48
TOTAL DNF: 2

TFTC from London England

Next stop - Atlanta to complete my DOUBLE JASMER!

Day 6 of 12 on the Mingo road trip with KayakLady52. We had great weather until the last couple of days, when we experienced heavy rain at times, road and park closures due to flooding, and constant overcast skies. We enjoyed some awesome sights and amazing views. We met interesting people, found a lot of fantastic caches and had a lot of fun! In total we found 82 Mysteries (mostly challenges), 57 Traditionals (most were oldies), 48 Virtuals, 31 Earthcaches, 8 Webcams, 7 Multi’s, 6 Wherigo’s and 3 Letterboxes! Many thanks to all the CO’s for adding enjoyment to our journey! Caches requiring signatures were signed with our full geocaching names or with 22B and KL52 to save space.

We started the day visiting the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo! Following that visit we headed toward Denver, picking up geocaches along the way! A string of challenge caches was where we started. SL. Thanks again for adding to our day's enjoyment animjason!

On a 10-state road trip from Niagara Falls, Canada with 22Bongo to Pike's Peak and the Garden of the Gods in Colorado via Mingo on the way there and Beverley on the way home. What beautiful states we visited along the way. We had a great time visiting the oldest in 9 States, 8 web cams, 30 earth caches, about 50 virtuals and signing into 70 challenges as well as favoured and a variety of other caches.

Thank you to all CO's for placing and maintaining these caches.

Logs signed either in our full caching name or 22B KL52

I'll have to come back to this one to see if I qualify.

THIS cache was the real reason we drove up to Parker from Colorado Springs today. (My friends think it was for lunch and shopping) (evil laugh of addicted geocacher).
This find also marks my 7th cache of the day on my 7 year anniversary of my first geocache ever! Thanks for this special cache!

THX for the cache and greetings from Sweden.
This Year we decided to take a roadtrip in USA. Starting in Seattle and then south to Portland, Las Vegas, Salt Lake City and then Denver. Some geocaches where found on the way. THX to all CO that shows us these places.
