SLTFTF!

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.

Doing a little celebrating with Réd and Kelsoboom at the DQ across the street, we came by to snag this one while we also checked out the motel we were thinking of staying the previous night. TFTC

What Marz and Kelso said.

After 30,000 steps on the pedometer I just signed the log, and sucked down a really nice shake at Dairy Queen.

Vote a fav and going home to a LONG night sleep.

Stopped at the DQ across the road and had to get this. SL. TFTC!

Quick grab!

We're traveling to Mesa and spent a few hours on Route 66 Series and found a few others along the way. Will be back for more "kicks." Thanks CO's!!

My sons and I left from the Yuma Mega Event and headed up to Barstow to do the Route 66 and other caches together. We got it done in a day and a half or so. Nice time to spend with them and we thank you for the placement of your caches. Along with our skipandjesie, my sons Cable Cache 1, and CableCache made a stamp for all caches we did.

A quick find and interesting plaques to read as well. TNLNSL

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.

Found with emzernask while getting our kicks on. Stamped the log as Crazy Canucks.

a little time off to actually have to search for a cache, some bikers on the road today , but using a small amount of stealth we had it after some searching. A nice stop for a break from the highway.
We completed the series plus a few side caches in about two days and loved it

Hello from Canberra, Australia

US12. After a few solid hours of caching along the Route 66 trail we had our first break. I ended up scrambling around on the ground to get this one, but eventually I put my fingers on it. Thanks.
