Found this cache along the way down to Geowoodstock. Started the trip off with a 13-county loop around Colorado to try and get some of the counties that I am not normally near or might get to again. After that it was a nice trip of 5 States in one day as I travel further to Fort Worth, Texas. Tons of awesome caches preselected for counties, virtuals, earthcache or the age of the cache. Some got picked because they looked interesting as I drove through the area. So many good stops along the way took a 11-hour drive into a three-day drive. All the corners of the states along the way are great places to stop as well. I met other cachers along the way and ran into some headed the same direction. At a couple points I met up with a couple police officers and got to chat with them about geocaching. Another great reason to keep some printouts of what geocaching is in your car with you at all times. Thank you to all of the cache owners for keeping these active for all of us to find on our travels. I usually put jokes in all of my logs, but these logs are already going on long enough and honestly after 7 days of solo caching and the extreme cache hunting going on in Texas, I’m tired of caching! Now on to the hard part, documenting everything I saw and did while on this trip. So many photo and caches, it’s been an amazing trip. Again, thank you to all the CO’s and other cachers I met this past week!

I slept the night in the truck out here by this cache, no one near by to bother a sleeping man in a truck. Love waking up and finding a cache, headed home again!

On our way home from Geowoodstock and saw this cache. We weren’t disappointed and some nice swag inside too. Dropped off two travel bugs please log them if you pick them up. Thanks for the nice size cache and history.

P.S. no trackables were inside

TYFC. No coin in cache left a trade for a souvenier.

Got out early, while the temperatures were still low, and spent some time finding geocaches on the eastern Colorado plains - this was the first of five. TN-LN-SL. Thanks !

And with this cache, LolosDream and I have found a Geocache in every county in Colorado! It has been a wild ride. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache! I left a TB, my custom ExTagz tag, my Geocaching card which has a trackable on it and links to my YouTube channel, Twitter, and Instagram accounts. I also left a token for a free taco at taco johns. TFTC!!

And finally after almost 2 years we've finished the Colorado County Challenge with this cache. Wild ride thus far and can't wait to sign the final log for this challenge. Seems we always find ourselves finishing these challenges in the middle of nowhere. Interesting history regarding the railroad and a fun finishing cache!
