Two Colorado State Troopers are commiserating at the end of their longest day.  Here is their conversation:

Trooper Leinen: “You on accidents again?”

Trooper DeHerrera: “Yes, sir, on I-70.  You?”

Trooper Leinen: “I had I-25.  Seemed like all the vehicles were magnets today.  Couldn’t stay away from each other.  Five crashes with semis.  First one was carrying Flammable Solids.  Then, another semi hit a wall, spilling Miscellaneous Hazardous Materials.  It took four hours to clean up!  The next accident was a minor fender bender involving a semi carrying Corrosive Substances.  Thankfully, no leaks!  But then my day took a turn for the worse.  A rig carrying Oxidizing Substances crashed less than a mile from a brand new Peterbuilt carrying Gases.  These new ten hour shifts are killing me.”

Trooper DeHerrera: I know what you mean.  Yesterday the first half of my shift was an accident with a trucker carrying Radioactive Materials.  Takes a while to make sure everyone is safe.  While working on that one I stacked up the next, a rig carrying Oxidizing Substances.  It was minor, so I took notes, cited, and headed off to the next.  A semi carrying Miscellaneous Hazardous Materials.  By then my day seemed to have disappeared.   The next truck had no leaks - good thing because it was carrying Flammable Liquids.  I was headed into the Troop when I had to stop for another crash with Gases. More OT.  I can’t wait for vacation.”

Trooper Leinen: “Driving to Boulder in your Subaru again?”

Trooper DeHerrea:  “Very funny.  Good luck with your Jeep.  Is it in the shop again?”

Trooper Leinen:  “See you tomorrow.”

Headed out geocaching with some of the puzzle solving group to look for the new puzzles in Parker. What a fun morning if ups (trees) and downs (in the water)! Fun puzzle to solve and interesting cache. It took a moment to figure out. Very clever. Favorite point for ingenuity.
Anything we haven’t already found and numbers are todays goal. Thanks to all the COs for placing and maintaining caches for us to find.

Of the three recent CoPuG puzzle, I was proud work through this puzzle and come up with a positive checker. In addition to that, a nice climb and the very unique container with a couple of retrieval options makes awarding a favorite point a no-brainer! Thanks to CoPuG for the creativity and effort they put into these caches. And, of course, the true bonus was getting to cache with Edwards654, TurtleBoy29, and FayColSalTom ;-)

What a fun adventure morning. Could not have picked a more beautiful day or better friends to be with. Tftc

A subset of the Puzzle Solving Group (TurtleBoy29, FayColSalTom, KenyanSherpa, and Edwards654) met up in Parker this morning to search for the three PUG puzzle caches that published recently. Accessing the final container was no challenge for our Everest-summiting Doug while under the watchful eye of the rest of the team. Thanks to all involved!!!

This was a DNF by me, but having spoken with the CO I now understand my error. Funny that the hubby & I had discussed the possibility of the hide when we were looking, but didn't pursue it.
