I phelt rather phoolish as I walked along the perimeter protection phence, headlong into the rushing mass of passenger cars and semi trucks, but soon I turned back and up and was phortunate enough to phind the hidden treasure. Even though we are in wine country, I left my lucky lager in the hopes that someone can take him to the local brewery for rephreshments. Signed log and headed back down, briefly enjoying the shade provided by the phlyovers, and went on my merry way.

The pear of us picked this perfect cache from its perch where it was packed in the mud, but the heat left us parched and in need of peaches. Perhaps the terrain rating should be pondered over once more, since there is now a fence, and the path is precarious.

It was a trip of a lifetime and fit perfectly into Groundspeaks Geocaching Road Trip ’15 Summer theme. Everything began after interviewing with a company for a summer internship. After a long wait and caching around home, I finally got the awaited call saying that I got the job. They asked when I wanted to start and I replied in three weeks. Thankfully they were fine with this. I figured that this would be a long enough to travel and see more of the US. Then the planning began! Three days to plan a three week trip, along with going to a geocaching event on the day before I left. This ended up making the planning and preparation very rushed. Luckily I had some help and was able to plan a large chunk of the overnight stays from home. I continued to look around the country for places I wanted to go and caches I wanted to find and worked these into my route and then I was off. My trip began on the morning of 6/28 from my home in Northern NJ.
My trip schedule was as follows:
Day 1-2: NJ to Atlanta, Georgia stopping in Salem, VA. I stayed with family in Atlanta
Day 3: Kayaking on Lake Lanier (Marooned GC20) with a $70 inflatable kayak that had arrived just a few days earlier and taking a Tour of Stone Mountain (GC1E)
Day 4: Driving through Alabama and ending in Grenada, Mississippi finding Trussville Civitan (GC126) on the way.
Day 5: Driving from Grenada to St. Louis finding Old Fort (GC1737) in the early morning.
Day 6: Drove past the St Louis Arch (sadly blocked off) and ended in Enterprise, Kansas.
Day 7: Enterprise, KS to Denver. Stopped for Mingo (GC30) on the way! A great geocaching highlight of my trip!
Day 8: Red Rocks Canyon/Amphitheater and hiking the Hogs Back in Colorado. I stayed with family in Denver.
Day 9: Pikes Peak. The altitude is very challenging, being from NJ. Driving down from 14,000 ft. was very scary with rain and fog.
Day 10: Denver to Arches National Park. Hiking from 6.30 PM to 9:30 PM to the Landscape Arch and back.
Day 11: Hike to Double-O Arch starting at 7.30 AM. Originally I hadn’t planned to hike to the Double-O Arch, but I was pulled into doing so by a nice Swiss woman who said it wasn’t “that far”. After hiking I drove to Huntsville, UT, stopping at Potters Pond (GC3B) on the way. I made up for breakfast, lunch and dinner that day by eating at my favorite “out west” burger joint (In-N-Out Burger)! Unhealthy but so worth it!
Day 12: Southern Idaho’s First (GC5C) and Craters of the Moon National Park and ending outside Yellowstone in Montana.
Day 13: Yellowstone and Old Faithful and driving through Wyoming. Went to a rodeo in Cody, Wyoming.
Day 14: Devils Tower and Campcache (GC87F) closing out the day at Mt Rushmore, SD.
Day 15: Crazy Horse Memorial caching in SD and caches in SD.
Day 16: Driving through SD headed towards Minnesota.
Day 17: Mall of America (unplanned stop). Headed to Wisconsin.
Day 18: In Wisconsin with family.
Day 19: Headed back home along 80 to NJ.
Day 20 (7/18): Gobblers Knob, PA. Home sweet home!
In the end my solo road trip, ¾ of the way across the country, ended up being a 7,400 mile drive and taking just under 3 weeks! I found about 400 geocaches total throughout my trip, lots of which I needed for the double-jasmer challenge (my current caching goal)! I also got to see so many new places that I have always wanted to go like Mt. Rushmore and Yellowstone, not to mention find caches that I have always wanted to find including Marooned and Mingo! While on this trip I also began a new list of places to go for future trips! The many national parks of Utah are definitely high on this next list along with places like Glacier National Park and The Grand Canyon.
Thanks for reading and please let me know if you have any questions or would like help planning your own road trip!

Wow, rough approach from west side of fence. Recent flooding made a big muddy mess. Now our son's border collie looks like a big mudball! But she enjoyed the search. Took British TB. L small trade items. Cache in very good shape. TFTC
Did not see the Burt the Goat TB in this cache.
