Headed West today, taking a route that only a geocacher would understand. I stopped here to take a break from the driving - and of course to find this cache. This was a cool virtual in a spot that I would have just driven by otherwise. Thanks for the fun!

Motorcycle trip with the DutchessOfStuff, headed west this year. MN to Vegas and then a nice leisurely trip back east through National Parks, Monuments and amazing roads.

Fourth full day of my "EPIC Adventure 2018" trip with Brewce. Today our plans consisted of hitting the 2 oldest caches in Kansas for Brewce (I already had), and then whatever else made its way in our path. Hm, who would have thought that we'd have another incredible day with not much planned?! Besides the two oldest geocaches in Kansas, impromptu caching yielded some cool and interesting virtuals, we were able to climb the high point of Kansas Wink , got to see the world's biggest ball of twine, the Geodetic center (or as close as you can get), and teh center of the United States of America...again -- all unplanned!! WOW, another amazing day!

So after catching some Zzzz's we headed out in the morning in search for a relaxing day of gecoaching. What we got was rewarding, very rewarding. We stopped here while in pursuit of a perfect cup of coffee. We may not have gotten a perfect cup (well it was pretty darn good), but we did find wood, or was it stone? [:O)]

We headed out from Milwaukee to the great West, on the agenda were: 8 - Y2K caches, completing my 3x Jasmer and setting me up nicely for 4x Jasmer, virtual geocaches, webcams, challenge caches, caches helping complete already signed challenges, high favorite pointed caches, and, most importantly, fun and laughter along with anything else we wanted to stop and do! We achieved all those things and more, so much more. Smile We saw things we never knew about or never thought we would see - amazing! Our timing for the entire trip could not have been planned any better. Driving by car is the best way to see America, it allows for impromptu stops and deviations, which we did...many times....and on this trip we drove a total of 4,500 miles and all I can keep saying is "wow, just wow!!" of all we saw. One of my best adventures ever thanks to geocaching, thanks for being part of it!

I find petrified wood to be really cool. I am so glad to be able to visit this spot and see some in person and see such a large amount.

On an Epic Trip from Wisconsin to Utah, Colorado, and Kansas to grab some oldies, webcams, virtuals, and visit other local points of interests with Bushwhacking Queen.

Thanks for creating this virtual cache and bringing us here today to learn about this local history.

Grabbing some caches along HWY 50 west -- mostly SFGT caches, but some others too. Neat building! And, if you stand around staring at it long enough, the owner of the auto shop it's next to will come out and give you a pamphlet with history which is cool. Tftc!

Heading in a homeward direction after visiting a friend in Colorado. It is still going to take several days with caching stops all along the route. Back on the Santa Fe Trail and picking up some extras like this one along the way.

There was heavy duty construction on the street in front for blocks, so I had to wind my way around. Interesting building. TFTVC.
