A Kingdom To Save

05/11/2019 By Denali41
I came down from Wellington this morning with my puppies Orizaba and Chimborazo expecting to get three wherigos that have been on my priority list for some time. I found two of these three, including this one. I had been unsuccessful on A kingdom To Save on two earlier attempts, so I was really pleased today when everything worked perfectly as I went through the zones! I felt great when I scored on the final and signed the cache log.
Thanks for this and your other two wherigos in this general area, Sparky. I need to return on Selentic Age, as I did not get the cartridge working properly for me today.

I got stuck on one of these stages and the CO helped me and I was able to figure it out. Of course I had to drive a total of 30 miles to get this cache, considering the time from my home, over to a CITO event which I was running late for, and back over here after grabbing a few different icons. This was the whereigo goodness for today. After I realized my goof, it wasn't that bad at all. I got my exercise with this one, as I traveled back and forth through the maze of locations several times unnecessarily. Thanks for placing this fun whereigo, as it allows me to find 10-different types of caches today. Cheers, keep calm and cache on!

Flew in from Montana last night to spend a few days with family camping near Estes Park. Since they are working part of the day I have time to treasure hunt. This one wasn’t very far from their home so started off with this one.

Enjoyed the story, the walk, and of course the “ find” at the end of the story.

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

Apparently I am no longer able to find a cache without being accompanied by the lovable and always cheerful herndonrd. Today was no exception, as I was out and about caching with herndonrd simply because I make him look good. Usually, he finds the caches while I look in all the wrong places. We were on a special mission today that included a drive to Cheyenne to get a webcam. We realized on the way back that herndonrd could get eight icons in a day if we got a Wherigo. Since I will never turn down grabbing a non-traditional cache I found your Wherigo on my phone and we made a detour to grab it. Fortunately we had no trouble with the cartridge and found this one right where you left it. The log was a mess but herndonrd came to the rescue and replaced the log.

Hooray!

After we did the whole sign and replace thing here we celebrated our victory by hopping back into the car and driving back home. Thanks for the fun hide and for getting me outside on such a beautiful day.

P. S. No animals (humans or otherwise) were harmed in the writing of this log.

Out caching with FeartheFish which means me driving his butt around all over the place. Roadtrip to Cheyenne for the webcam plus west of Greely for some letterboxes and picked up other caches along the way. Nice walk around a cute little park. Log was completely unuseable so we replaced with a new log inside a baggie to keep it dry. TFTC!

Thank you for the adventure through this beautiful Park on a comfortable Colorado day. I made my way to the final position and found the cache which does need a little help. Picture attached. Tftc!

Midwest Tour through America

After arriving at Cincinnati airport, we‘ve started out trip through mid-west USA
Our first stop was at Louisville before we continued towards Evansville, Saint-Louis, Kansas City all the way to Denver- Skyline of the Rocky Mountains.
We’ve stayed in Colorado for a couple of days and drove to the Rocky Mountains to Mount Evans and past the beautiful Echo lake.
We took the historic steam train in Georgetown to explore the Rocky Mountains – what an unforgettable experience.
We’ve visited the open air arena in Red Rock Park and have informed ourselves about the historic and musical past of this area.
We soon had to leave beautiful Denver to continue further towards the north Via Golden, Fort Collins, Cheyenne. We’ve took a bit of time to hike through the Toadstoll Geological Park- beautiful hiking destination.
We’ve crossed the border to South Dakota and visited the many sights along the way - Hot Springs in the Black Hills, Wind Cave NP, Jewel NP, Grazy Horse NP, Custer-State-Park – we were even able to spot some wild bison’s there.
We’ve then continued our tour towards Sylvan lake along the panorama road -“Needles Highway”. This windy road leads to needles past the many pine forests along the way.
Continuing further towards the Rushmore National Memorial.
We then weren’t far away from rapid city or the city of the presidents where we took part of an impressive sightseeing tour where we got to see 43 bronze statues of all of the US former presidents.
We took a quick detour to South Dakota before we continued towards the south towards the Badlands NP – a plateau with edged mountains, deep canyons and steep cliffs – impressive to look at.
After we have left the Badlands, we continued towards Mitchell along the Highway 90. We visited the corn place with its special artefacts and paintings made out of corn.
The next days are leading us back again towards the east towards Sioux Falls.
We saw many sights here for example the Sioux Waterfalls, Old Courthouse etc
We went shopping at Spirit lakes before continuing towards Minnesota. We also went shopping in the Bloomington Mall of America.
We went for a city stroll in Minneapolis visiting the many parks near the Saint Anthony Falls and the Washburn A Mill.
We have visited the cathedral of Saint Paul and the Minnesota State Capitol.
We left Minnesota after Saint Paul and have crossed the border to WISCONSIN continuing towards Madison to see the State Capital.
We have visited the famous Harley-Davidson-Museum in Milwaukee.
We collected a number of Petoskey stones while strolling around north Michigan Lake. These stones are unique to this region.
We are now continuing towards Chicago where we will spend a couple of days as well.
We’ve done a bit of shopping and got to know about the skyscraper history.
The first skyscrapers were built in the 80s and 90s. One of the most impressive ones is the trump tower directly at the Chicago River. The facade mirrors the Wrigley Building and the Chicago Tribune Tower.
We then had to say bye to Chicago after a couple of days. We then continued towards Gary (INDIANA) and New Buffalo (Michigan). We have covered 3 states: Eck Michigan, Indiana and Ohio
We now have to go back towards Indianapolis where the legendary race took place. We have also planned a visit to the Hall of Fame Museum before going back to Cincinnati.
Going to the GIGA event:
We have met many friendly cachers and we have talked about our mutual hobbies and our trip in and around Cincinnati.
We have covered approx. 4000 miles and have experienced a lot. Everyone was very welcoming and helpful as well.
Thank you to all the owners for placing and maintaining the caches.
Best greetings from Bavaria Team sissifalke
