The Pawnee National Grasslands is a large area world famous for bird watching. It also has many opportunities to find fossils and arrow heads. Please do not remove any archeological artifacts or disturb any nests. Bring your binoculars and telephoto lenses. Also bring plenty of water and supplies in this remote area. The caches should be easy, if they need replaced please feel free to maintain them as needed. This series was originally placed by Starnsun paired with OneKindWords Views of the Grasslands series. Enjoy!

There is still lingering snow in my home area so decided to head to the grasslands to do some caching. Temps actually hit 70 today! Cache is in good shape! TFTC!

Found it at 1400.
I managed to spot this one right away. The log was pretty new; apparently it had been replaced earlier in the year.
TNLNSL. TFTC!

We decided to head up to Wyoming for some caching today. Needed the icon for Wyoming anyway and this is a good chance to get it. We are visiting our Son and Grandsons in Lakewood CO. Cheyenne only about 1.5 hour drive away. Found lots of interesting caches today including some virtuals and also encountered a run of caches, to add to our numbers. All well at this cache and thanks for the new smiley. Hello from OKC.

Working the area power trails to knock out the Mystical Creatures quest. This is a cut and paste due to the need for speed. If there are any issues, they will be added. Thank you for the placement!
I blew right past this so I ended up hoofing back over the bridge...

Nearing cache #5,000 just before the GW-XVI Giga-Event, I'm determined to get my cache numbers closer to that goal, so EstesLynne & I headed out to the Pawnee Grasslands for this power trail of caches, which has also been on my list for several years. We picked the perfect spring day to be out on the plains - just gorgeous, with lots of meadow larks singing, painted buntings flitting about, and a few hawks soaring as well. Most of the caches were fairly easy, but several were falling apart, cracked or crumbling. we replaced as many of those as we could, just to keep the power trail going. Thanks to all those who put his trail of caches together & maintain them!
Completed the Power Trail lower-half, then went into Briggsdale for and icy treat and more water. Still going for that 100-cache day, and this one is #93 - TFTC!

BugRanger and I headed out to Grover to try to get her numbers up for a coming milestone, and I wanted to complete my smiley string out here. There's a lot more truck traffic on this road than there was a few years ago when I did the trail north of Grover; there wasn't much fracking then. We also had to dodge some road graders around Keota. Still, for the most part it went smoothly and we hit our goal of 100+ caches.

We tried to replace broken caches, but although we easily replaced a dozen, most were in serious need of TLC and there are many more to go. IMO, the day of 35mm canisters is past--even ones that were obviously put out recently are cracked and leaking, some (judging from logs) after only one winter. The high plains is too tough and the plastic, especially the lightweight white ones, is too cheap.

We also ran into a few missing caches, which we replaced (with one exception), and a few duplicates. Oh well, that happens in this sort of power trail. For all we know, we put down a duplicate or two. We also signed (depending on log condition) either with our full handles, or sometimes just EL & BR. But we're in there (unlike one recent claimant--in my book, you have to sign at least some scribble to prove you were here).

Sorry about the cut and paste. I have a lot to say about this run, but I can't do 100+ regular logs. If there's anything particular about individual caches, I'll add it. Thanks to all for the contributions to our numbers and to a fun, lovely, warm, sunny, bird-filled (lark buntings! meadowlarks!) day on the high plains!
