On August 24, 2002, I found GC53D9, a Multi Cache and GC3057, a Virtual Cache, in Durango, Colorado. And I have not stopped since. The Multi was archived just this year due to construction removing one of the History Boards needed for the multi but the Virtual is still active, it is the spot where the Train Robbery scene was filmed for the Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid movie. And Geocaching has taken me to may other fascinating spots I would have not otherwise found. From Australia to Canada to Russia, I have found caches in a lot of different places. From 14,000 feet to 230 feet BELOW sea level. From the heat of the Arizona Desert to the cold above the Arctic Circle in Greenland. And still, my TOP TEN favorite caches are in COLORADO. Some years I only found 5 caches (2002) and one year I almost hit 5,000 with 4,993 finds in 2017. It has been a fun and rewarding hobby. I've seen herds of Wild Horses roaming around the ET Highway Power Trail. I been scared off by a rattlesnake more times than I care to count. I've taken 7 or 8 trips to the same cache before finally finding it. I've been stopped by cops, and one even said "I MIGHT release you if you can prove you are Geocaching!" And the stories go on and on! Needless to say, this is my one and only ADDICTION.

This cache is very simple, don't over think it. It will probably have to be upgraded in the near future but I hid one like this in CA and had fun with the comments.

Have fun everyone!

JrPuppyPaw and I were super happy to see PeaceLovePi and cache around before heading to an event today. It was still a little cold and almost a little rainy this morning but that didn't stop the fun. We had time to grab just one more before heading over for coffee. Thanks for the smiley!
