Industrial areas in the city provide an opportunity for geocachers.

Fort Collins' economy has been described as well-balanced, with a good mix of manufacturing and service-related businesses. Local business leaders claim that the city's economy is insulated from some of the ups and downs in the regional and the national economies by the "highly sophisticated and rapidly advancing technological progress" of the city's industries. Fort Collins has a strong manufacturing base; it is home to such firms as Hewlett Packard, WaterPik, Woodward, In-Situ, and Anheuser-Busch. The city has been experiencing low unemployment rates and a steady increase in household incomes, increasing purchasing power that can only further stimulate the local economy. A variety of high-tech companies have relocated to Fort Collins because of the resources of Colorado State University and its research facilities. New housing construction has added to the city's economic growth.

Items and goods produced: pharmaceuticals, electronic components and accessories, aircraft and parts, scientific instruments, measuring and controlling instruments, radio and TV equipment, industrial chemicals, engines, turbines, communications equipment

It was a bit chillier on this Sunday afternoon than I expected - but I couldn't resist the sun and fresh air and had to get my bike out. I expected a quiet, uninterrupted search since it was late on a Sunday afternoon. Where are all of these cars going? Then I spotted a certain business of a "botanical" nature nearby. TFTC!

Didn't take too long to snag this cache. Area was pretty quiet today. Just SL. TFTC!

For some reason this cache wouldn't show up on my phone, but it did show up on my PC. Had to find this one the old fashioned way with my GPS. After looking in all the wrong places, I finally had the cache in hand. Thanks for placing it.

Thanks Pixel Magic for this Cache. We always appreciate Cache owners for their contribution to the game.

We are on a crazy family mission to get into 5 digits for finds this year. This is find 6596 for us.


We will add more details as we go and most likely talk about our experiences on our weekly podcast
