I got a chance to check on my caches and because they are not in trees, they are all safe, even though the logging operation continues.

Planning to be in this area in 2 weeks, any idea when the logging will be done? Would love to grab this 5/5 that I'm qualified for, thanks!

Wings and Tales alerted me of the following - There is a massive logging/tree thinning operation going on in the area. There hasn't been too much cutting here yet but many trees are marked. I will get this one activated when the work is done. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Colorado Road Trip!

Headed out for a long weekend road trip with a small number of hand picked caches. I headed south to Topeka and then to Colorado Springs, next to Cheyenne and Rapid City before heading home. I camped most of the way when I could find campgrounds. The scenery was incredible and the hikes in the mountains worth the trip. All these caches made the trip worth every minute!

JBase has used Project-GC to see if they qualified for this challenge and they did.

slog:
I have:
ok:16 total loops of 5 needed



Thanks kenyansherpa for the cache!

I am very happy to finally be able to log a "Found It" on this cache! I signed the field log for this challenge back in September 2015 when my friend Denali41 and I were on a caching road trip to the Colorado Springs and Woodland Park areas. At that time I was working to finish my 3X Fizzy which I was able to finish up three months later. Then I completed my 4X in September 2016 when I logged my 982nd find. But it has taken me about 17 months to get my 5th loop finished.

The 5/3.5 combo has been the one D/T that has proven to be the most difficult for me. There aren't many out there and quite a few of those are challenges I couldn't meet. But this week I was finally able to complete the Forty Forty Challenge (GC34GBP) which was my 1,214th find, not including Lab caches. The 5/3.5 combo is also the only D/T preventing me from qualifying for the original Fizzy challenge in California which requires all caches to be placed before 4/6/07. I have two of those solved but one is in Salt Lake and one is in San Diego and I haven't been able to get to either location to find them.

It's a pleasure to now log this one as a "Found It"! As I log this cache I am enjoying watching the 2018 Winter Olympics which means the CO is quite busy in South Korea right now. I hope all is going well for you Doug! Thanks for placing this great challenge cache!!!

I am logging this a find today since I now qualify for this challenge. I stamped the log on 10/15/2014. At that time I thought that it would take me years to qualify for this challenge. Which it did but I made it. You can check our stats page to see that we Qualify for this challenge. Thanks for the fun Challenge and a goal to work towards. [8d][8d] SL TFTC
