I think someone may have replaced the container as it wasn't rust colored, but no never mind! It was there and that's all that counts. Got a picture of the sign which I thought was rather well done and worth the short side trip. Thanks for the cache Xerenipcs

This was day three of a three-day cache run with Cache O'Plenty. Today we started in Amboy, moving east and then south along Cadiz Rd, finishing up along the 62 and the 177. Many of today's caches were in the CCX4 series. Today, we were able to top off our gas tank in Amboy. We two had no trouble locating these caches while just using a single vehicle to move from cache to cache. Steve, even though he'd already found them, let me grab a few of the caches along route 66 that I had missed two years ago. This was one of those. Stamped log. Thanks, Xeretnipcs, for placing this cache.

Had a lot of fun caching in the High Desert with CarlottaP and Fishnguy&10sgrl. Thanks for the fun!

I had a fun time caching with Oaknest and fishnguy&10sgrl. Thanks for the cache!

The start of a long, but fun and interesting caching day. Thank you.

Holiday power cache run! We came here exactly a year ago to start the series, today we finished! Thanks to all that placed and maintain this series. All quick grabs even when we got punchy near the end!

I had wanted to finish this Series for sometime. After a discussion with some fellow cachers we formed a group of three ; Cache O' Plenty, Larry The Pool Guy, and Pars18. Cache O' Plenty put together a plan that would complete the Route 66 Series for both Larry the pool guy and Pars18, but he would still have to return another day in the future to finish it. We ended up getting all the numbered caches plus some extra ones that were added or had originally been there . This was one of the extra caches we logged during our 66 run. Thanks to Xeretnipcs for adding to our fun today. We really had a great time thanks to Larry (Larry The Pool Guy) and Steve (Cache O' Plenty) for joining our team.

Pars18, Larry the pool guy and I headed out to the Route 66 series today for a full day of power trail caching. Since pars18 and Larry the pool guy had already completed the first half, we started at #381 and headed east. That allowed both of them to complete the series. I, on the other hand, will have to return to complete the first half. We also augmented our run to include all of the Non-Route 66 caches along the way. Made for quite a long day and a new one-day record for me. As we proceeded, we repaired any that needed some TLC and replaced some broken ones. Now I need to resupply my stash of containers!

Had a great day and perfect weather. Thanks to Team Stevecat and the other COs for all their work in setting up this run. Got a great history lesson along the way.

Also was amused to note that the number of trains we saw greatly outnumberd the vehicles on the road. Trans = 7, vehicles = 3 for the first three hours.

This was just one of the many caches found by us today. TFTC-SL

My day started out at 4:00 am when I first got in the pool truck to drive up to the meeting spot at McDonalds near the Lake Silverwood Exit. Sitting in their cars ready to go was Pars 18 and CacheOPlenty. At 6:30 am our group starting finding hides and stamping logs this pattern continued till 5:30 pm. The desert was kind to our group today with little wind and cool temperatures. Thanks to all that placed caches for me to find. I now have a new one day record !

Dear Cache, Wow, what a trip! Team STNY hooked up once again to do some caching in the west. AKiteFlier from Chicago, Illinois and Humboldt Flier from N.W. California have invaded the deserts of the American Southwest. This will be our 3rd. trip out west together, with multiple trips for each of us as members of other teams. Something about the desert seems to keep calling us back. This time our target was the Route 66 trail plus interesting caches along the way. We also focused on solving some puzzles to add to our non-traditionals. We logged a total of 1167 miles on the rental car! Now that's a lot of driving. The weather was spectacular - mid 60s and clear, clear skies. Cold at night. Thanks for the leg stretch. Thanks for the fun. Many Thanks to your owner for having placed you. TNLN SL TFTC

On holidays from Australia we had planned on doing a spot of caching whilst in and around Barstow and Las Vegas. One of our goals was to complete the Route 66 series. Early start, late finish was in order and after a long 15+ hours, we completed the series and some extra's along the way. Wow what an experience that was! FurfacesLL No 2 sprained her ankle on the Yermo series, and FurfacesLL No 1 was down with a cold, So we were very pleased with ourselves. A days' rest then off to tackle the ET Highway! Thanks to the cache owners for all the work in maintaining these caches.

Found in the company of Earthbound Chief, aka Dad on our 'Boys Own Adventure' after I spent the summer working in Michigan and before going home to Australia. A drive along the Route 66 was a must! TFTC

Getting our caching kicks on Route 66 with micaparamedic, Ozibgs and EB Contax


Thanks for the caching fun

More caches here than I have time to find!!!!! TFTH

Thanks for all the hard work and time it took to place all these caches. Ultrahide and I went on a 10 day epic camping adventure through NM, AZ, CA, NV, UT and back to CO. We ended up with 1,744 caches including 32 virtuals, 6 WIGs and 5 events after 3,080 miles. We had a great time finding these caches. We signed the log as Team NOCO and a TB number. I wish I had the time to log a personal log on each cache like normal but there are way too many to remember the details now. Thanks for the cache. Happy Trails.

8:34:00 AM: (Count: 5 of 266 )
our second day on the highway and we are returning to our start point but picking up a few on the way.
After many months waiting we are finally here, we where fortunately enough to meet the cache owners at an event, but even more fortunate to have mild weather.
We completed the series plus a few side caches in about two days and loved it
