Notre périple a débuté le 22 août dernier et nous amènera à visiter douze états Américains et deux provinces Canadiennes... Notre départ s'est fait à partir de Baie-Comeau, une ville sur la Côte Nord du Québec pour ensuite se poursuivre quelques jours à Québec où nous avons fait un peu de Géocaching.... Par la suite, nous avons fait un arrêt à St-Eustache et Ville de Laval, toujours au Québec, pour ensuite prendre l'avion et arriver à Portland, Oregon... Nous avons fait un arrêt le 28 août à Umatilla toujours en Oregon, le 29 août à Boise en Idaho, le 30 à Twin Falls et le 31 nous sommes à Salt Lake City pour deux jours... Le 2 septembre nous étions à Rock Springs, Wyoming, le 3 nous avons fait un arrêt à Laramie, Wyoming... Aujourd’hui ce sera notre deuxième et dernière journée dans la région de Colorado Spring...

Pendant tout le voyage nous avons ciblé quelques caches qui nous aideront à atteindre nos objectifs personnels et nous découvrirons certainement de nouveaux endroits que les Géocacheurs d'ici voudront nous faire découvrir... Nous préparons ce voyage depuis plusieurs mois et savons que nous ne pourrons pas tout voir par manque de temps... Il y a beaucoup de caches mais devons fermer les yeux ne pouvant toutes les trouver... Mais c'est avec plaisir que nous apposerons notre signature sur certaines d'entre-elles...

Merci pour la création de ces caches qui ajoutent des sourires à notre profil et qui nous font passer du bon temps peu importe l'humeur de Dame Nature... Notre log sera le même pour toute la journée et s'il y a une particularité nous l'ajouterons au début du texte... Des favoris seront ajoutés ici et là pour tout le travail accompli... MPLC

Casper&Aero de Baie-Comeau, Québec, Canada


Our English is not perfect, we use Google Translate to help us ...

Our journey began last August 22 and will take us to visit twelve US states and two Canadian provinces ... Our departure was from Baie-Comeau, a city on the North Shore of Quebec and then continue for a few days in Quebec City where we did some Geocaching .... Then we stopped at St-Eustache and Ville de Laval, still in Quebec, and then flew to Portland, Oregon... We made stop in Umatilla on August 28 still in Oregon, August 29 in Boise, Idaho, August 30 in Twin Falls and August 31st we are in Salt Lake City for two days... The 2nd of september we were in Rock Springs. Wyoming and the september 3 the road brought us to Laramie, Wyoming... Today will be our second and final day in the Colorado Springs area

Throughout the trip we have targeted some caches that will help us achieve our personal goals and we will certainly discover new places that Geocachers here will want us to discover ... We have been planning this trip for several months and know we will not be able to not all see for lack of time ... There are many caches but we must close our eyes can not find them all ... But it is with pleasure that we will put our signature on some of them ...

Thank you for creating these caches that add smiles to our profile and make us have a good time regardless of the mood of Mother Nature ... Our log will be the same for the whole day and if there is a particularity we will add it at the beginning of the text ... Favorites will be added here and there for all the work done ... TFTC
