Greetings from the UK?. We are on our holidays!!! We are on a 12-day road trip around Colorado, Utah and Wyoming (a geocaching road trip from Denver to Yellowstone and back again), staying in Air BnB’s en route.
Day 1: One cache near the first Air BnB to get us started
Day 2: Morning caching and dashing around Denver and in the afternoon headed out to the Mount Evans scenic route. ? Ended the day with a trip to a TB hotel, in Downtown, and found 21 caches.
Day 3: Denver to Colorado Springs, collecting a few caches en-route. Made a snap decision to head out to collect some earthcaches , discovered the amazing Garden of the Gods , the pretty town of Manitou Springs, and the lovely Memorial park.
Day 4: A trip up to Pike’s Peak and then a slow cache and dash to Glenwood Springs (21 caches in total) and lots of weather ? .
Day 5: Well today we took an unexpected detour. Set out early, undertook and earthcache in Glenwood Springs after breakfast and then decided to try to find a nearby 5/1 that had loads of DNFs, sadly we too had a DNF?, but did collect 2 other caches on the Rio Grande Trail . Then we set off for Vernal, and we had planned a caching route, and collected a few caches in places such as Rifle, but then sadly we lost all reception after a few miles (you’d think we should have learnt by now to download caches when we make plans), and we then accidently picked the wrong road out of Meeker as Google had also gone offline – both of us forgot to check the maps in the suitcases. So we detoured via Craig and met 2 lovely ladies in the information centre, who gave us a couple more maps, suggested some sculptures to photograph (and a lawnmower man ???who pointed out the spider sculptures) and told us we had an extra 88 miles to the Dinosaur National Monument , we made use of the free wifi to download some caches we could collect on our new route. We then pressed on, dropped into the Dinosaur information centre (more free wifi and 2 more lovely ladies ???, one who helped us find the cache) and then decided to head out to Harper’s corner, a lovey scenic drive (we saw 2 deer) and crossed into Utah and back. We took a lovely 2 mile yomp to see the spectacular amazing views and collect a virtual before heading back to Vernal, where rain stopped play, so we picked up a Papa John’s pizza and headed to the Air BnB for a cup of tea and a beer.
Nice GZ for this small cache. QEF. TFTC ?
