I have a really funny pun I'd like to put in my log post. But, that would spoil the fun for other people. So, I'll just say I had to look at this for a lot of times until I finally put the pieces together.

One of the few Mondo Stars I could solve on my own! Picking up my daughter nearby, so taking advantage to find a few first.

Was only able to solve this when someone in the puzzle group wanted to work through it together. Took some time to get north to make the find.

First I need to apologize for the long log, but I have had people from all over the world tell me that they would like to have seen more in our logs, not only about their cache specifically but more on the amazing journeys that we take and haven't documented well in the past. Now, if you would like to skip to information that is specific to the cache, please skip to the bottom to see there is anything helpful. Only 25% of the time do we provide something that we either didn't read in another log or something that we felt needed to be added for clarity or a nudge in the right direction.

This geocaching trip was two weeks and designed to make up for the six months that we gave up dreaming, wishing, designing, and building the GPS Adventures Maze Exhibit. TTO1 and I are two of the 4 "Builders" of the GPS Maze Adventures Exhibit, and Kiecker the third. All three of us cache together a lot, and this trip was no different. Kiecker didn't get the entire two weeks in with us but was with us a majority. It was extremely helpful to productivity on several caches that he had already found in some of the areas that we visited.

We started north from Dallas to Oklahoma, and the trip would find us at the end finding caches in nine States. Near the beginning, we had to stop for a daughter's college graduation in Denver. Boy, I despised that stop as I had to abandon my geocaching accoutre for something professional and "suitable," my wife demanded. So, the next day, I got her back taking her on caching excursion to the tree and snow line that started with a 22-mile dirt road trek. Sure glad we had the right vehicle for this portion of the trip. The rest of the trip we could have done fine with just a two-wheel drive.

One of the more memorable stops was again in South Dakota. We stayed up too late and had a great visit with not only the Famous SoDakZak but also with a group of cachers that we had just seen at the Maze. Just a great group of folks.

Several of the days we spent threading the proverbial storm needle. Unlike the other group, we were able to circumnavigate all the inclement weather. Just know, this was not by design. We have all the wet weather gear one could put on thinking that we would have to do most of this trip in torrential downpours. As luck would have it, just the vehicle got the brunt of the pounding rain on a couple of the longer driving leg of our sojourn.

Another new thing we tried this trip was to do like we see a lot of folks are doing with videotaping. We love the longer hikes, extremely lonely caches, and higher rated caches. Adrenaline junkies, we aren't, as we carry a lot of safety gear just in case, but in the end, we found that we suck at it. We are hoping to find someone that will join us on our trips that is a good videographer and doesn't mind the >10Km hikes with 1200 ft elevation change and being 65-100 feet up in a tree. Till then we will just take and post pictures.

We would be remiss if we didn't thank all the geocachers that in some way added to this game/sport/hobby/obsession with their individual hides and varying levels of effort that they put into their geocaches. We don't award a lot of favorite points but this trip had inordinate amount given compared to previous trips. We also ended up on this trip making two remarkable achievements of our own - even if we do say so our selves. 25k finds and 2nd Original Fizzy Loop. We did have ambitions to beat our old record of counties in a day but the weather and flooding were not going to allow that to happen.

Here below is the aforementioned area where we provide relevant information specific to this cache:

This one was in great shape. Thanks for the cache.

We had solved this one a while ago, but somehow forgot to make the grab. Muggle intensive
Took nothing, left nothing, signed the log. Thanks for the cache.

I went for a 31 mile bike ride today and found some caches along the way including this one at 10:53 am. Thanks for the cache and for making my route more fun!

I have found only a few of these Mondo Star caches. Glad to check this one off.

So coords led me to same spot ad person who logged as find even though he didn't find (sorry but or peeve of mine) I can't stand junipers and that was the only place left except one that was about 10 ft off. I checked there and voila. Thanks for a mondo puzzle I could silver once I stopped thinking pont was French for bridge(????) TFTC

We had to drop my car off at Toyota to get a recall done on it and while that was happening we headed out to go grab some more of these puzzle caches. SL,TFTC

Out celebrating a late Solstice with T&A137. We teamed up today to get some caches and enjoy one another's company while others were headed to family gatherings.

All three of us gave this one heck of a look and decided that it was missing. We dropped a replacement container. After we left mondou2 later confirmed where the cache should have been and we placed it in the same spot. See how smart we are?

Found Mondo's Star #2 on December 24, 2016 using Cachly for iOS. Find number 2274

Thank you, mondou2 for placing a fun cache for all of us to enjoy. I look forward to finding more of your caches.

Caching today with PMC and we stopped by to find this one but think it is missing. We did find a log baggy but no container. Hope you don't mind that we stopped a replacement at the stump at GZ. TFTF
