Takes less than an hour  Available at all times  Parking available  No Public restrooms nearby  No Camping available  Bicycles  Motorcycles  Off-road vehicles  No Campfires  Stealth required  Truck Driver/RV  Park and Grab  No Food Nearby  Tourist Friendly  No Teamwork Required 

So I am creating a trail of caches inspired for two different reasons.  The first is the satellite series all over El Paso County thanks to WitzAbout.  The second is how hard it is to find caches beginning with a number for the AlphaNumeric challenge.  So in honor of that I am creating the countdown series that will result in a rocket launch to get another satellite into orbit for WitzAbout.

I am hoping to get the entire series along Link Road.  The countdown caches themselves are kinda boring, but I am looking for something a little more creative for the final cache.  If you needed one of these caches for your challenge, please let me know in your comment.

What a fun Series ~ counting down 10, 9, 8 but as LADDITUDE posted we did the countdown on the west side of the road first then turned around and did the east side. NICE TO SPEND THE DAY IN THE AREA WITH LADDITUDE THAT INTRODUCED US TO GEOCACHING IN 2004 OR SO. Thanks to Mr LADDITUDE for.excellent driving and Mrs LADDITUDE for her sharp eye. We snagged 21 caches this afternoon. In this Covid-19 virus season Chili's opened today for indoor seating so it was a bonus for us to enjoy our main meal for the day.

Out doing many caches in Fountain area with DASHON, our caching buddy from California. So much fun to be together again. Thanks so much for placing this run... we did the road twice, finding all the caches on one side, then turned and did those on the other side. Lots of traffic today so didn't feel like walking across the street. TFTC SL
