IF you remember when there was horse racing at Centennial in Littleton, Colorado, YOU have lived here for many years.
(Now for the History Lesson) Centennial Race Track was dubbed the Santa Anita of the Rockies when it opened for horse racing on Nearly 10,000 people passed through the gates waging a half a million dollars on that opening Independence Day. The property was sold for $17.7 million in 1981. This was more than one hundred times the original $160.000 price of the Hazard Ranch in 1949. Racing continued while the new owner got building permits for apartment and condos. The last race was on November 6, 1983 after some 23,000 races. The property is now known as the Centennial Downs at South Federal and Belleview. (History of Littleton ) The NEW ‘horse’ track is called Arapahoe Park and is located in Aurora.  It opened in 1984 for only one year before going bankrupted. After being closed for over a decade the Park reopen in May of 1992 to a crowd of 11,146 people. In 2005 the Arapahoe Park opened June 10 and will runs races every Friday-Sunday until August 28, 2005. Many Drive By Mugglers -- Be fast and careful. If you are lucky, you can park 8-10 feet away. A very busy area from June – August – especially on the WEEK-ENDS. (Horse Racing and the Aurora Reservoir)

I’m not one for power trails and try to avoid being roped into them. However, I was introduced to challenge caches last year by fearthefish and it’s pretty much ruined my world. While on a caching trip this year I signed a cache that I need to have some ridiculous numbers to be able to qualify. I’m a bit short of meeting my goal so I’m forced into hitting the eastern plains for some big number days before the end of the year. So here I am, back at it, trying to put a dent in these. I signed the log PMC to save space on the log.

Found GCNVW0 - Mudders Delight, on October 19, 2017 using Cachly for iOS.

Some may call me seriously mentally ill. Some may state that I am in a state of mind that prevents social interaction. Some may say I am in a state of mind that prevents normal perception and or behavior. I prefer to say that I tend to do the same thing over and over again, but I expect different results. That being said, I believe we only live one life and I am trying to make the best of it. I thank you, Ivy Dog Parents for placing a fun geocache to fuel my "insanity" or addiction as I call it. I appreciate you bringing me here so that I can sign my alias on a piece of paper that you have hidden.

I look forward to finding more of your geocaches. I also look forward to potentially finding geocaches with you one day and sharing stories of our insanity... I mean hobby or addiction? Cheers!
