Took a long drive with Katie Geodog to find caches and get some more smileys along this road. Saw a herd of pronghorn and some hawks along the way. Thanks for the placement, SWAG Dragon!

Find #49279
Its been a long hot summer in Texas, I've been trying to get out and do a caching trip a couple of times this summer, but it never worked out. Finally managed to get a week off, and am so happy to be out here in Colorado. The weather if perfect, and there is a load of caches that need my name on
Thanks so much for the hide SWAG Dragon, I really enjoyed finiding this cache!

Working the area power trails to knock out the Mystical Creatures quest. Just one more souvenir to get! This is a cut and pace log that if anything other then a quick find shall be noted. Thank you for the series and the maintenance of these caches.

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! 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!

Spent the day looking for geocaches in the grasslands. Replaced container. As usual, a very windy day making it a challenge to keep logsheets from blowing away. SL, thanks for all the placements.

My boyfriend and I spent the day SeekDaCache at bakers draw shooting for Labor Day. After shooting for a bit we decided to head out and grab the caches in the area. Very cold and smokey day but a good one. TFTC
