This geocache is located along the 40 West Artine.  It is a log-only cache and you must bring your own pen.  The cache iteslf is a small piece of art made by a friend of one of the Geocyclists. 

The ArtLine is an art experience located along West Colfax Avenue.  If you do the entire ArtLine, it is 4 miles long.  It is accessible via RTD lightrail at the Lamar Station on the W Line and is very bikable or walkable too during the daylight hours. There is also street parking nearby if you are short on time and just want to find the cache.   There are more than 70 public art installations along the ArtLine.  My favorite is a piece called Hidden Dinosaurs by an artist named Michelle Wolins.  There are 11 similar structures along the ArtLine and each one has a "hidden" dinosaur in it.  Some are really obvious and others are more abstract.  This geocache is very close to the one that features an Ankylosaurus.  I am pretty sure I can see its head...can you? 

If you are a fan of Trackables, click on the Waypoints section of this geocache to be guided to a Love Lock Trackable which you can "discover" at the Eye Heart 40 West art piece.  For more information on the ArtLine and to find a map of the entire route, go to https://www.40westartline.org/   For a direct link to the Hidden Dinosaurs page (my favorite!), go to https://www.40westartline.org/art/story-totem-art-panels

Headed South to Denver with Barasaur to cache and do some Adventure Labs. Met up with Fay and LA and cached with them. Logs were either stamped with my name or signed CEGT with the group. Had lots of fun spending the day caching.

Headed out for a day of caching with JBullFrog62. Met up with FayColSalTom and LASouthPaw to finish out the day with them. Caches were signed either as myself or as CEGT depending on when we all got together as a group. It was a very relaxing, perfect day to be out with friends enjoying some time together and grabbing smileys. Thanks for being part of our fun.

Our driver just wanted to keep rolling forward, even though the arrow was pointing behind us.
Finally got him to stop so we could sign the log. Thanks for the smiley!

What a day! Started out finding a few with FayColSalTom, then we joined forces with Barasaur and JBullfrog and went through Lakewood like a hot knife through butter. We mostly targeted Adventure Labs, but found just about anything that caught our interest and / or got in our way. Signed most logs as CEGT, signed a few with our own handles. The temps seemed to drop throughout the day, but that didn't slow us down. Even met a couple geocaching legends as we hopped from cache to cache. What an awesome adventure and I can't wait for the next one!

WOO-HOO! I had a small window of time to hunt for a few caches before a meeting nearby. I had a brief search here before finally spotting this one, SNEAKY! I quickly added my stamp to the log roll, replaced as found, and kept truckin'! TFTC!
