This was one of my target caches today, this find will fill in the hidden on date 12-14 on my project GC stats. I love the location! The container is in good shape, but was sitting a little exposed so I tucked it in a little further underneath the hiding spot. TFTC!

Today after work we headed up to the Broomfield area to grab a few caches. Our group consisted of @windatmyback and @intrepiidexplorer . By the end of the day we had 15 caches in our bag and one DNF. Great day to cache in Colorado!
Tough find. We were encouraged by Robuster's recent note confirming that the cache was in place. Found it after scrambling around.
TFTC!

I was heading for the virtual cache nearby and didn't check a satellite map on the way. I parked near here and walked over. Hmmm. I'm on the wrong side of the ditch. But oooo... there's a cache on this side. So I hopped on over and found it. I reached into my pocket and my pen was gone. Huh? I tried the other one and no luck. Aw man, I lost my pen. I looked around for a bit and didn't find it. I hate to admit it, but I had to take a dreaded photo log. I'm sorry, I really hate them. I headed back to the car and when I opened the door, there was my pen on the front seat. Thanks for the cache! Find #2765.

I ended up on an epic adventure with yellowdogs and jREST. I really wanted to go and find GC19. So, I picked a five day stretch to make my attempt. I roped in a couple of caching friends into the misadventure and we were off with my two geodogs. The five of us made an interesting group. We drove over 3000 miles on the trip going out and back. Since we enjoy the same types of caches it was easy to come up with a list. We target the three main kinds of caches: oldies, virtuals, and earthcaches. We threw in a few others mainly to grab a cache in the 72 counties we headed through. Really got to light up that county map. Ended up with 152 caches in the found pile.

The first night was a little rough. We got a late start and headed into some heavy rain. We already had a hotel reserved in Sioux City, IA; so we knew we had to get there. Found one cache to fill the day in for me. The first day was spent caching our way across northern Nebraska. We had a line of counties that we wanted to grab. Some pretty country once you get further west. It is always nice to see the varied topography of the states we visit. After finding 35 caches, we called it a night in Scotts Bluff.
Day 2 dawned sunny, but cool. We wanted to get past Denver, but our route was longer than anticipated. So we ended up a little short. Got to see some interesting spots though. We hit the high point in Nebraska, cached along a lonely stretch of highway in Colorado, picked up some virtuals in the Denver area, before heading into the mountains for the Cache Across America. We continued exploring the mountains before finding a place to sleep for the night west of Denver.

On the third day, we made it into Denver after some virtuals and then headed south through the mountains to GC 19. We made it. The road was open and the weather perfect. Lots of warnings about the fire danger. We picked up a few other caches and even took a detour into New Mexico so yellowdogs could light up the state. Nice. I love it when a plan comes together.

Day 4 found us in Trinidad. We had a long way to go and a short time to get there. Luckily, at this point the route was pretty straight forward. We headed north roughly to Nebraska. We did take a detour to grab GC31. I already had it, but we were too close not to add it to the list. We ended up caching longer than anticipated due to a lack of sleeping options. Finally found a place in Thedford.

Our last day was short and to the point. We had a line of counties between us and the Iowa border and we wanted to find a cache in each of them. We found one or two caches in each of them before hitting the border at noon. Right on schedule After that, it was just a matter of beating feet home.

Thanks to all the COs that placed or created a cache for us to find on this trip. Without you, we would not have found have the interesting places we ended up. I couldn't think of a better way to spend vacation. We used our Team Barcelona stamp to mark all the physical logs.

We thought we could get to the virtual nearby from here, but there was a creek in the way. Doh! Found the cache and then looked for an easier access.

Took a bit of a long weekend, well five days anyway and hopped in a car with Boreal Walker and yellowdogs (AKA - Team Barcelona) and headed west aiming for parts unknown. This cache was one of those on the adventure. Not far from the moat, came at this one from the correct side. TNLNSL

I am on a road trip with Boreal Walker and jREST from Minnesota to New Mexico and back meandering our way through as many counties as we could with many target caches in our sights. The weather was decent, although we did have a day that the temperatures reached 100 degrees and we were very thankful for the air conditioning the car provided. We enjoyed our journey and the many laughs along the way along with the great places some of these caches brought us to.
Stamped the log Team Barcelona. Thanks for the cache! BigSmile

Had to cross the creek bed to get to it, but after that pretty easy find.

Since we were here for the old virtual you have to find the regular too no matter how cold it is! 13 degrees & cloudy on this last day of 2017.

Glad I walked on the correct side of the canal. Grass is pretty thick around here & gives it quite a bit of camo. Had to search for a while to find it. TFTH SL
