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 around Denver and then headed out on the Mount Evans scenic route ?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 , 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 ? . Day 5: Cached to Vernal via Craig and a scenic drive through the National Dinosaur Monument to Harper’s corner . Day 6: Set off from Vernal, visited the brilliant National Dinosaur Monument , then drove the scenic roadway to Rock Springs, more caching en-route. Day 7: Today was Wildlife Day! Rock Springs to Jackson, and the Teton National park. We saw: Pronged antelope, 2 Moose(s), Bighorn Mountain, Elk herds , an osprey . Day 8: The day we saw three bears !! to West Yellowstone, collected a cache in Idaho. Arrived Yellowstone late morning and had a fantastic time in Yellowstone , amongst the Bison. We had a lot of snow showers???. We watched Old Faithful and did lots of of geography homework earthcaches and virtuals . Day 9: A great morning exploring Yellowstone Park -tastic and loved the stroll around the mud pots. On the long, slow drive to Lander, were we spotted Pronghorns and Mountain Sheep – in the road! We did some caching en-oute, as well as stopping for some chocolates from the Cowboy Chocolatier in Meeteetse. Day 10: Today we met up with a local cacher, who had kindly offered to show us the sights/caches of Lander. And… had an amazing day, not only did we pick up some fun caches, we walked some beautiful trails, in great company and learnt a lot about the local history. Original Wildman was incredibly generous with his time and his hospitality. Day 11. A cache and dash to Cheyenne via Laramie, saw lots of Pronghorns and Jack rabbits , collected 23 caches and spotted some very large cowboy boots in downtown Cheyenne.
Day 12: Our penultimate day, and last full day started with a great breakfast at Epic Egg ,we then started the drive to Denver, with a final epic days caching as we had several challenge caches to pick up (with great D/T ratings) and some by Egreog, as his came recommended by the Original Wildman . We also decided after a morning urban caching to take a tour out to Estes Park , and collect some of Bug Rangers’ very creative caches . This meant that we arrived at our BnB quite late, but our hostess was amazing, and we then headed out for a late dinner, minding Meadowlark, which had fab food, and now pack to pack and log, before a last morning in downtown Denver – 38 caches in all today.
Diz has emailed the CO with our answers.

I remember wanting to get this one ages ago, but then the flood happened so I had to wait. Judging from the logs though, quite a few folks decided to jump the gun. I walked around the whole park, but didn't seen any plaques. I had to look the answers up online. The Louis Papa display has been set up by the easternmost bridge, so he's still good to go.
The park sure looks different from before; it'll be a very long time before the grass and trees are back to what they were. It's kind of funny though that come hell or high water, those old generators aren't going anywhere!

What a great day! Out with my 2 geo-besties fearthefish and PayMeCache. It was PayMeCache who kicked this roadtrip into high gear as he teased us with the Rocky Mountain Geo Tour. So we 3 wise monkeys or mystic apes as some say (though I prefer to be referred to a a monkey rather than an ape) headed out bright and early with a handful of geo-goals for today's trip. After 12 long hours and many many miles, I am pleased to report that I survived the day in the car with See No Evil, and Hear No Evil AND we found everything we set out to (did you catch that...I Spoke No Evil ).

Thank you fearthefish for coordinating the submission of our answers for this one.

Out and about caching with heh324 and PayMeCache and grabbing Geotour caches. This was one of our last stops of the day.
Unfortunately the park is still closed and doesn't look like it will be open in the near future. We enjoyed researching and learning more about this area as we found the appropriate answers. I sent them to you by email on behalf of all of us. Thanks for the fun virtual and for keeping it around for the rest of us to enjoy.

Smithj9 and I left Fort Collins early to take a drive and cache through Poudre Canyon down to Grand Lake. We saw all kinds of neat places and learned a lot about the history of the area on our way. Thanks for placing and maintaining these caches for us to enjoy while visiting from Florida.
It was neat to research and learn about the history of this area and what was here. Thanks!

Are there still "No trespassing" signs here? If so, should this be disabled until it's OK to visit?
