66 4 FUN California, United States

It is just really too bad when a business trip is planned in a place like Las Vegas and I have an opportunity to come early to do a little caching before the meeting. When I found out I was heading to the south west, I made arrangements to do just that. Come down early and hit the Route 66 power trail. I have wanted to do this trail for quite some time. Last year I was down in the area and managed to get the E. T. Highway cleaned up. Of course, I will need to plan a return trip to that trail at some point since they have added quite a few more caches since I got the 1500 that were there last year. For this trip, a good friend, Vulcan64, was able to get some time off and join me for a caching adventure. So we flew down on Tuesday from Sioux Falls and then we worked our way down to Barstow, grabbing a couple of caches along the way. We tried to focus our attention on virtual caches and earth caches for the first night, but there were some terrific targets of opportunity that we could not pass up. In the morning, we took a little walk to grab a nearby cache since breakfast was not ready to be served. Once we got a quick breakfast, we took off for the trail. Once again, there were a few nice targets for us to grab before we made our way down to cache 001. From there we hit the trail with gusto. We did get a couple of other nice caches along the way as well, but our goal was to get the Route 66 trail done in a day. We managed to get it done. What a great trail! We had a lot of fun and we managed to stay safe. Only a few cuts and bumps along the way. By the time we the moon was starting to rise, a beautiful full moon, by the way, we were still about a hundred short of completing the trail. The light of the fading sun was precious, but fleeting. We went as fast as we could, but we ended up finishing in the dark. Good thing we brought flash lights along with us. We signed the logs as VB for Vulcan64 and Beta59. Thanks for all of the great caches, on the trail as well as before, after and in between.

Beta59 and I flew in from S. Dak. on a vacation/business trip. My vacation and his soon to be business conference. Our goal was to do the Route 66 trail in one day. Even though we started rather early we finished the last 100 in the dark. Flashlights were a definite bonus! Logs were signed as VB. TFTC.

I would normallty say that I don't know how we missed this on our last trip out here but since the 1st signatures on the log are from this year, I know it's a replacement. TFTC

A Team of caching friends from PA traveled to the West Coast to do the ET Highway Geo-trail, TS series in Yerington and PTA series in CA. We are out for 8 days to cache and sight see. We had a Blast! Beautiful country out here and the weather was prefect. I found just over 3200 caches for the trip, and over a 1000+ finds in one day on the ET Highway. We called ourselves "Team LOST" and logged the caches as such for Levidan, Philflyboy, Albsjudge, Coinboss and Hillwilliam, to save time and space. Thank you to everyone who placed and maintained the caches we found. TFTC

Well our 2013 Geocaching vacation/trip has finally arrived. Early on a SNOW filled spring morning in Lancaster, Our group called Team L.O.S.T. consisting of Philflyboy, Levidan, Hillwilliam, Albsjudge, and myself CoinBoss. We gathered early to drive to the Philadelphia Airport, all eager and ready to fly to Nevada to conquer the ET highway along with the oldest and third oldest caches in Nevada, the Alien head geoart, and UFO geoart. We will hopefully travel thru California, Arizona, and Utah before we head home with our VERY eager 4000 finds. We stopped at the airport and grabbed caches while waiting for our plane. The flight was pretty uneventful, other than me showing Hillwilliam that I do snore like a loud chainsaw as others have warned her. Once in Vegas we rented our car and started off to get supplies and start caching.. It was a long 22 hour day of caching we got in before hitting bed for something like 5 hours of bad sleep due to jet lag… YUK.. But at least we all escaped the snow in PA and welcomed the 60 degrees weather when we arrived…! We completed our first day here by completing the Alien head and UFO geoart at NIGHT its worth waiting till night to complete it… it’s a whole different experience then during the daylight hours.

It took us day 2, 3, and an hour of day 4 to complete the ET highway and some surrounding caches. It was a lot of fun driving thru such desolate areas of the desert as part of this series. I loved the what looked like an abandoned ranch we all took lots of photos in this area on day 3 of our trip.

The rest of day 4 and day 5 was a nice change from the past few days. We took our Team L.O.S.T. stamps and started searching out stakes. We had a great time these two days, however the two rental cars did not care for it. Some areas we should have rented higher riding cars or a jeep. We did manage not to get stuck here. There was one true coinboss adventure though, when we were on a dirt road on a side of a hill with no room to pass, I was trying to assist another around one of our cars. I went up to his window to let him know I will spot him around our cars, it was then I noticed he was about 95 years old, but he also had his right hand resting on his shotgun sitting beside him. Boy was I glad I got him around us without scratching his vehicle… LOL

Day 6, 7, and 8 we stayed in Vegas and cached during the day then took the evening off to walk and see the strip. Saturday morning we made sure to make the poker run event and we all had a great time. I also learned a new way to do a poker run and will be sure to bring the two apps back to our Lancaster PA events. Team L.O.S.T. also won 4 of the drawings at the evening event. Thanks for hosting these great events and really unique caches.

Thanks to all the COs for maintaining the caches we have been planning to grab on this trip for at least two years now.

I have already got some of the 66 Series on the other road. So I figured now was a good time to get some on this road. Thanks to Socal ZukiCachers for all these great caches. Just a quick P & G for another smiley.

Dear Cache, NO JOY. Maybe next time. TFTC

Looked for it for awhile, the had to move on. DNF

Looked for a little while, but didn't find it. Will have to try again another time.

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.

Visiting from Northern Utah (Cache Valley) with gjg6 to do the RT 66 series. Thanks for this cache on the way just adding to the fun. Loving the desert caches. (-----
