This is one of those winter days where I wish I was caching closer to sea level like in Florida where these 10 I found are located. But I did get up to the windy hill & sign this log today.

I like the concept of this challenge cache and lots of fun memories were made in the process of completing it. To be honest, I was a little surprised I qualified when I ran the checker on a whim. But happy for that green check mark! Quick find while my daughter was doing her horseback lessons nearby.

I had a little extra time after hanging out and caching with COpackrat today so I stopped by here on my way home. The container is in good shape. There are some really great memories that go along with my qualifying caches. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. TFTC

This morning I headed south for an early find of this challenge cache. It is cold enough to see my breath inside the Jeep. About 25 minutes later I was a block from my planned parking spot when I saw a truck ahead. I immediately recognized it as Rohatx. So I called him and he told me he found this one about an hour ago and was out grabbing other nearby caches. I ran up and signed under his name and then returned to the Jeep and we chatted long enough to make fingers numb. Always good to see friends.
Love the D/T combo. Here are mt qualifiers:
