Pleasant walk to the cache once the initial obstacle course was crossed. Lots of cactus at the top. Lots of rocks so the hint was rather generic until I spied the geopile. TFTC

Beautiful clear day and a beautiful view of the valley. Just a little clamber if you start from the north but otherwise hardly any trouble to walk to this cache. It’s easy! And in good shape too. Took carabiner, left beads.

We're staying in Aztec for a couple of days. Headed up this way to claim some new counties and enjoy the snowy mountains. Great view. TFTF.

Found it with Team Los Bastardos Finlandeses aka LBF [J&T., kapeka & laalaa]

We had fun with caching few weeks here in Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico and Utah. And a quick visit behind border to Mexico, Los Algodones. Lots of geocaches and many sort of them too. We saw awesome places, weather was pretty good all the time and people were friendly and polite. Caches were pretty similar like in our home country. Of course there were some exeptions.

Greetings from Finland!

Team Los Bastardos Finlandeses on a Geocaching road trip in United States. Team consists of three names: kapeka, laalaa and ours. We used our stamp to log the caches or writed LBF to smaller logs. On two week trip we drove about 3000 miles through six states (California, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah and Nevada) and made a quick visit behind border to Mexico, Los Algodones.

At Yuma, Arizona we had nice sunny weather when we were at the mega event. But later at Tucson and Phoenix area we got some rain and later at Utah temperature was 10F and it rained some inches of snow. That slowed us down little bit but we did found quite a bunch of caches on our trip. We found nice caches, had a fun trip and saw many beautiful places.

Today our journey continued from Bloomfield, New Mexico to Green River, Utah. The weather was nice but it was a bit cold. Still much warmer than -15F at home. Early in the morning we found some caches from Bloomfield area, before heading to Colorado. Very nice views here. Thanks for the cache and greetings from Finland!

Our second cache in Colorado. Once again a stop at the highway, and now there was a really great view to enjoy when we climbed the hill and eventually located the box at 12:05. Thanks and greetings from Germany, spbgh (Steffen)

We needed 5 Colorado caches for a certain challenges, so we did the little detouring from Farmington to this area Cool. Being successful in the end it was all worth it Wink. Most difficult part here was pulling out safely again with our RV Clown. Enjoyed the easy find and the great views......
