First in a series of Tom.dog Tribute Caches to recognize certain cachers who I believe give back to the game in a very noticeable way and who are just plain out all-around good guys.
***HERE IS THE ONE RULE FOR THIS SERIES***

The cacher who the tribute is for is the only person who can claim FTF. Others can find it before the cacher who the tribute is for but you cannot sign the FTF spot on the log and cannot say "FTF" on your online log.

Thebobcats played a large part in this cache. It was originally too close to another cache and they were kind enough to move it to it's present location. Thanks guys. Team bobcats also have a noticeable amount of caches out and about that are always fun to find and seem to always be an adventure. Thank you for your help in keeping this sport going!

Able to grab this while out in the snow to find a hard-fought Colorado Springs multi that finished in the area. This one is in great shape and easy to find for the kids! TFTC!

Nice spot for a cache. Lots of hummingbirds in the vicinity; it's fun to watch them drink from the Scarlet Gilia. Heard some gunshots in the distance, and in a short while sirens and the smell of smoke! Glad the problem didn't get worse.

I ended up on an epic adventure with yellowdogs and jREST. I really wanted to go and find GC19. So, I picked a five day stretch to make my attempt. I roped in a couple of caching friends into the misadventure and we were off with my two geodogs. The five of us made an interesting group. We drove over 3000 miles on the trip going out and back. Since we enjoy the same types of caches it was easy to come up with a list. We target the three main kinds of caches: oldies, virtuals, and earthcaches. We threw in a few others mainly to grab a cache in the 72 counties we headed through. Really got to light up that county map. Ended up with 152 caches in the found pile.

The first night was a little rough. We got a late start and headed into some heavy rain. We already had a hotel reserved in Sioux City, IA; so we knew we had to get there. Found one cache to fill the day in for me. The first day was spent caching our way across northern Nebraska. We had a line of counties that we wanted to grab. Some pretty country once you get further west. It is always nice to see the varied topography of the states we visit. After finding 35 caches, we called it a night in Scotts Bluff.
Day 2 dawned sunny, but cool. We wanted to get past Denver, but our route was longer than anticipated. So we ended up a little short. Got to see some interesting spots though. We hit the high point in Nebraska, cached along a lonely stretch of highway in Colorado, picked up some virtuals in the Denver area, before heading into the mountains for the Cache Across America. We continued exploring the mountains before finding a place to sleep for the night west of Denver.

On the third day, we made it into Denver after some virtuals and then headed south through the mountains to GC 19. We made it. The road was open and the weather perfect. Lots of warnings about the fire danger. We picked up a few other caches and even took a detour into New Mexico so yellowdogs could light up the state. Nice. I love it when a plan comes together.

Day 4 found us in Trinidad. We had a long way to go and a short time to get there. Luckily, at this point the route was pretty straight forward. We headed north roughly to Nebraska. We did take a detour to grab GC31. I already had it, but we were too close not to add it to the list. We ended up caching longer than anticipated due to a lack of sleeping options. Finally found a place in Thedford.

Our last day was short and to the point. We had a line of counties between us and the Iowa border and we wanted to find a cache in each of them. We found one or two caches in each of them before hitting the border at noon. Right on schedule After that, it was just a matter of beating feet home.

Thanks to all the COs that placed or created a cache for us to find on this trip. Without you, we would not have found have the interesting places we ended up. I couldn't think of a better way to spend vacation. We used our Team Barcelona stamp to mark all the physical logs.

Headed up to the virtual and stopped here on the way. We went into the woods and poked around. I swear sometimes I even amaze myself at how blind I can be. Good thing I brought back-up.

Took a bit of a long weekend, well five days anyway and hopped in a car with Boreal Walker and yellowdogs (AKA - Team Barcelona) and headed west aiming for parts unknown. This cache was one of those on the adventure. I really enjoyed the walk up the trail and into the woods, the weather was warm but the sky was as blue as could be and I was having fun. Think the other two guys just about stepped on this one... Cool In behind them and bingo. Thanks for setting this one up. TNLNSL

I am on a road trip with Boreal Walker and jREST from Minnesota to New Mexico and back meandering our way through as many counties as we could with many target caches in our sights. The weather was decent, although we did have a day that the temperatures reached 100 degrees and we were very thankful for the air conditioning the car provided. We enjoyed our journey and the many laughs along the way along with the great places some of these caches brought us to. It took a little wandering before jREST spied this hide.
Stamped the log Team Barcelona. Thanks for the cache! BigSmile

Sun Shining. Go Caching. Be Smiling!
