Today we are on a mission to get two of the oldest active caches. We planned a loop from Denver that will take us to GC30 and GC31. Since it is an eight hours of driving roadtrip we only stopped a few times on the way.
We're now on our way back to Denver and stop for a few more smileys. We found the cache but not the plane!

Tftc!

Rats; I was hoping that there be one of the planes near GZ. But it was an easy find and gave me an entry for a couple of my bookmark lists (AVIATION/AEROSPACE CHALLENGE and ROMAN NUMERALS CHALLENGE), so I'm actually happy; good job and TFTC!
