Today, after the Inquiring Minds event, I went caching with my caching buddies, @2lablovers . We roamed the areas west of Berthoud and grabbed a variety of cache types. Just as we left the event a storm kicked up and dumped on us. Pretty hard to see in front of us, but we made it. By the end of the adventure, the rain was barely a trickle. It was a lot of fun.
I solved this a while ago, knowing I would be in the area. This was the day we came up to make the find. Thanks to the hint, we made the find. The container is really cool, but the log is a little wet. TFTC!

Caching with LostinDenver after the challenge event. This was on his list so we signed the log also and solved the puzzle when we got home. Thanks for the history puzzle - always nice to learn something new.

This one took a little while, with the cords off by 44 ft, but the hint is good and previous logs critical. Great container. This one filled the last day on my calendar with only 2 finds/day! TFTC!

I had to take my puppy Angel to the vet on the west side of Loveland this morning. After she got a clean bill of health I figured I'd take her for a ride in the country as she loves riding in the truck. We headed south and I stopped to find this cache. Angel waited in the truck while I made the quick find, thanks to the clue (like previous loggers, my GZ was right in the middle of the street). Thanks screechybird, loved the container!!!

Well, I spotted it after a moderate search--and then had to go in for the grab. All I have to say about that is "ouch." We didn't need our crescent wrenches to get it open, either, although that might not always be true. Then I decided it was easier to toss it into GZ than crawl in there again--and it got hung up so I had to crawl in there again. Bleah. Oh well, TFTC; enjoying the series!
