We had tried to find a cache this morning that required projecting a waypoint, and couldn't figure out how to do it on our newer GPS. When we got here, we looked at options again and finally figured out how to do it! And found this awesome fun cache. Thanks for helping us learn a new skill today!!

Enjoying time with extended family and friends. We stopped to enjoy some caches along the way. The fire in Durango kept us on the road a lot longer than planned. I hope everyone is OK. TFTC. SL.

Fresh off of an amazing Giga trip, the fun wasn't over yet. We had one more little side run planned since we had time and we made the most of it. I would say I am cached out but I do not believe there is such a thing lmao. TFTC!

This was a fun quick multi on our trip around the mountain, due to the fires today. No problem, long drive, lots of caches to keep us occupied. Enjoyed the great camo on this one. TFTC. SL.

On our way back to Phoenix after a quick trip to complete the Buena Vista GeoTour. We saw this multi and had to stop and grab it!

Like a true geocacher, we found the easy trail to the cache on the way back to the car! Lid didn’t want to budge, but we did manage to open her up. What a cool hide! Gets a favorite here :)
