White Cane Safety Day When : October 15th White Cane Safety Day celebrates and recognizes the achievements of the blind and visually impaired, and their independence. That independence is represented by the white cane that they use to travel from place to place. The white cane is an invaluable tool for the blind. It affords blind people a freedom of movement they otherwise may not have. The white cane is a well recognized symbol of independence. If you know someone who is blind or visually impaired, celebrate this day with him or her. We suggest you let them take you for a walk. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Origin of White Cane Safety Day: On October 15, 1964, a Joint resolution of Congress passed legislation marking this day. President Lyndon Johnson immediately issued a proclamation declaring this day to be White Cane Safety Day. This is an annual proclamation.

Its been a long hot summer in Texas, I've been trying to get out and do a caching trip a couple of times this summer, but it never worked out. Finally managed to get a week off, and am so happy to be out here in Colorado. The weather if perfect, and there is a load of caches that need my name on Thanks so much for the hide poolsharkycat, I really enjoyed finiding this cache!

Enjoying another day traversing the countryside, acquiring many miles and boosting cache numbers and others in between along the power trails!
Nothing better than caching along the back country roads of America! Thanks for placing these out here. Most were in good shape in these sections however i did replaced wet logs and broken containers as needed. Initialed logs

Service was so spotty here, Cachly couldn't navigate and show me how far to go. Luckily the big map worked and I could compare where the dot and the balloon were. Found the cache almost buried in the dirt. Got it dug out and signed the log. TFTC - #1724

I had a much needed geocaching adventure today. I drove over from Denver to Goodland (KS) last night. Got up this morning and continued east to Mingo. Wound up caching my way there and then back towards Denver, ending with a power trail-ish run between Limon and Deer Trail. Got to see lots of sunflowers and even some antelope along the way. Cachly was acting funny, I'm pretty sure it wasn't bringing up all the caches, but oh well. Wound up caching until the sun went down. Now for all those logs…

Finally some nice weather - warming up and the snow is melting. Time for some caching. Headed for the plains. We were a bit worried that the dirt roads might be muddy but had no problems. Only one DNF the whole day. Caches were in good condition except a couple cracked ones we replaced. Thanks to all the cache owners who placed and maintain these caches.
