Scenic view 
In 1854, a machinist in Connecticut (USA) named Daniel Halladay was asked by a traveling salesman to invent a windmill for pumping water and other uses. At first, he was skeptical that such a device could be sold, but he began manufacturing his new invention in Connecticut. Soon, he moved his factory to Illinois to be closer to the rapidly growing western market. His windmill first demonstrated that a windmill could automatically turn to face changing wind directions without human attention and could control the speed of the wind wheel so that it did not destroy itself in the frequent storms by running too fast.
Halladay’s company, the U.S. Wind Engine & Pump Co., went on to become the largest manufacturer of windmills in America for a time.

The cap is missing on this cache... next rain it will get flooded. We had nothing to fix this, sorry! The "fourth was with us" on this beautiful Colorado spring day. We visited and found 30 caches, this was one of them. Thanks to all the owners for placing and maintaining these for us to enjoy. It was lovely here today... rolling green grasslands, lots of barns and windmills, and many horses, goats, sheep, even llamas were seen. TFTC SL

Snow day, so catching up on logs.

Found this fun little series with animjason while we were in the area. I love impromptu caching adventures.

BearAdair and I weren't doing anything today. We were driving around Parker doing errands when the caching itch hit.

We ended up in this area finding extinct animals, and defeating an alien invasion.

Thanks for the fun. Ended up with 13 finds before it started getting dark.

Didn't have a spare container, but replaced missing log sheet with what I had.

I didn't even see the cache; however, my gps was right on, and I could see an indentation where it should have been. I set out a new FC and fresh log for the next cacher to find. I got 38 caches today; enough to earn the final Hidden Creatures World Turtle souvenir, yay! JC had a good time with me today; she's snoozing beside me as I log today's caches. TFTC.

Headed out this way on a nice day to rack up some caches. Container was there, but log was a wet pulpy mess. Did not investigate further. tftc

Thank you for the placement.
