This section of the Rock Island Trail has recently been concreted.  It is a beautiful trail and has a lot of bike traffic; perfect for caches so I am placing a few.  I am starting on the west end and going east but you can find them in any order.    I hope you enjoy them.

Parking nearby for this one; should be a park and grab.

Very clever hide here, love ones that are not so obvious and a little devious. SL and RAF, thanks for another fun smiley!

I (Melissa) am on my annual ladies trip with Nov64, Trea, Tootsie.22, Georeyna, and Berb57.

Today is day 1 of the trip and I am out with my caching buddy Trea picking up some of her caches here in Colorado Spring. We miss her fun containers back in Texas but love seeing she is still placing them here.

We want to thank Trea for placing Piper for us to hunt, find and adding to the smilies on our map!!!

A muggle was standing around so I had to come back to this one several minutes later.
Since I saw right where to look the first time, I got it quickly.
Thanks

This one is a tricky hide. I gave up on it but then Colorado Cacher came by and searched also. He found it in a place that is completely out of site.
TFTC.

This will be a fun one to watch. Make sure you look twice, lol. Also, put the log in so it is easy to get out.

I met the wonderful JR&B caching team today here.

This truly was an amazing cache! How you found this spot as it naturally is amazed me and left me feeling a bit nostalgic. It reminded me of one of my own caches ( Piped in Stone). It’s definitely different but has some similar vibes. I hope this one lasts for a long time. I have to give it a favorite too! ? Well deserving of one due to the nature of it and just how the heck?!?!! Did you put that there?!? Haha, too cool! Actually the first thing I touched was nowhere near the cache and I felt a crunch and some buzzing… which totally creeped me out as it must’ve been a wasp nest or something worse… Anyways, thanks for some fun FTFs!



Daily Log


I started the day feeling a bit down due to lack of sleep and some loneliness. But I pushed myself to get out and find a geocache to keep my daily streak alive, and I’m so glad I did . The weather was perfect, and the unexplored beauty of Palmer Park left me in awe . It was a fantastic place to take in the views and snap some fun pictures !

After returning to the car with 3/3 successful finds in Palmer Park , I received 4 notifications about new geocaches nearby, just 10 minutes away . Without much hesitation, I entered the coordinates into Google Maps and headed over ?.

A few finds later, I had 3/4 First-to-Finds (FTFs) for the evening . Wow! I was having an absolute blast scoring so many FTFs in one go . I also faced my fears of the dark and exploring a new area. The trail system where I found the new geocaches was stunning and remarkable . I heard it was recently paved, and it’s so wide that it offers a nice path for everyone to share! Although the 4th FTF eluded me, I felt a mix of frustration and relief when I decided to call it a night and head back .

Reflecting on the day, I realized that even though I missed the 4th FTF, I had the perfect circumstances to be the first to find 3/4 new caches that popped up on my radar! It was serendipitous that I was just 4 minutes from reaching the car and heading home when I got the notifications . I thought, “It’s dark and getting late, but that makes me even more likely to be FTF. Let’s go night caching!”

Not only did I shake off my funk and enjoy some nature , geocaching, and sunsets , but I also had the chance to grab 3 FTFs and experience the thrill of night caching, which added to the adventure!
