In Denver for a couple of days before heading home to Australia. Headed out this side of the airport to grab what caches I could. The overnight snow falls made life interesting, but it good to have a go in the snow.
Found most I went for, the others, I just though the snow might have covered then too much.
All up a good way to spend a few hours. Many thanks to all CO's, and greetings from Australia.....

Geocaching with my niece as a reward for a good first quarter report card. Grabbed as many as we could before the Broncos game. Thanks for all the hides.
The log was very wet; not sure I got much of a signature onto it but I tried. There is also a wasp nest quite close to the cache; be forewarned! TFTC
Today I'm running some caches near the airport and also reporting on their condition after our massive flooding. This one is in poor to fair shape because of the very wet log; would recommend a log change if possible.

First cache owners, I apologize for the cut and paste, but I'm logging 600 caches, and try as I can, I just can't remember them all. Although I will write something specific as I can.
To the tune of Gilligan's Island
Just sit right back
And you'll hear a tale
A tale of a caching trip.
That started with an airplane trip.
Across the great Midwest
The goal was quality caches
Across the great midwest
Four caching friends set out one day
For ten caching days,
For ten caching days.
Rthe airplane landed in Denver
The caching crew were stoked.
If not for the planning of Nick and Jeff
We might have slept too much
We might have slept too much
The group had lots of goals
And lots of miles to drive.
With wherigos
Letter boxes
Some virtuals
And webcams
Traditionals
Some multis and earth caches
All during this great trip.
Included in this caching trip
Were lots of counties and states
And Cache Across America
And old ones as we could.
We worked on many challenges
We cached all through the night.
To make sure all our goals were met
We slept and ate while in the car.
No kids, no work, no comfy beds
Well sleep when we get home.
Like addicted cachers
We explored our great country.
So thanks to all the cache owners
For hiding these to find
From catchers from Jacksonville.
We appreciate your hides.

The 1st of only 3 caches found on Day 0 of an 8-day road trip through the Midwest with my trusty team of fellow Seekers: inxtricablfate, -HellFire-, and memomls. Flew into Denver, Colorado from Jacksonville, Fl to get our adventure into gear for the 4300 miles ahead, hunting Cache Across America hides, state’s oldest caches, every county/DeLorme page we touched, most non-traditionals (with an emphasis on virtuals and earthcaches), and any other interesting things we could find along the way [^]. Our loop extended through Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Minnesota, Wisconsin, South Dakota, North Dakota, Manitoba CA, Saskatchewan CA, Montana, Nebraska, Wyoming, and most of the outlying areas around Denver. We had not originally intended to stop until we were well outside of Denver, but with the 31 days of August pressing down upon us, the team decided we needed to stop as soon as we left the airport and secure our calendar day. Guess I can’t complain because this makes for my first official find in Colorado 
. Don’t worry, plenty more to come 
. Thanks Raddad637 for putting out these caches for us to enjoy during the course of our road trip

With this cache we (magtfplanner, memomls, -Hellfire, and I) officially began what would become a 4300 mile tour of the midwest.
On this trip we passed through 11 states and 2 Canadian Provinces (Our loop extended through Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Minnesota, Wisconsin, South Dakota, North Dakota, Manitoba CA, Saskatchewan CA, Montana, Nebraska, Wyoming, and most of the outlying areas around Denver). We found a cache in every county (117!) and Delorme Page we passed through. In these 11 states we managed to find 8 Cache Across America caches and the oldest active cache in Missouri, Manitoba, and Kansas (which is also the oldest in the Universe).
As -Hellfire- pointed out, we found 2 Wherigos, 6 Webcams, 7 Multis, 23 Letterboxes, 28 Earthcaches, 44 Virtuals, 88 blue squigglies, and 395 Traditionals to total 593 caches in 9 days (really 8 days and 8 hours)! So you can wrap your head around the shear magnitude, we averaged over 500 miles a day and about 70 caches a day [8)]
.
This trip brought us to so many cool places, many of which most people will never see in their lives (and they won't even know what they are missing). Geocaching as a whole can take you to some of the coolest, most obscure places in the world. Of course, this trip is just a whirlwind trip; there is only so much you can really see in 8 days, right?
First cache of the trip, first in Colorado. State # 47 for me
Found with magtfplanner, -Hellfire-, and memomls

Day two of our visit to Colorado took us to the very popular area east of the Denver Airport and the many caches. We let the GPS be our guide for the day as we wandered from road to road. Overall things were pretty quiet, though a number of people wondered what we could be doing. Oh well, a terrific day overall, but one where we needed to pack it in a little early when a thunderstorm moved into the area. We marked all of the logs with a red maple leaf - TFTH and fun!
Day 3 back in Denver, I decided to cruise around and pick up "just a few" more on my way back to the airport before flying home. Mahalo for the fun hide along my route! TNLN/SL TFTC!!
TNLN/SL TFTC!!Found it caching with my daughter out east of Denver, Colorado.
The weather was excellent for Geocaching, sunny and not to hot.

Had to drop Ms. Barasaur off at DIA for her flight. While in the area I thought I would grab a few caches. The day was horrible with wind and snow going sideways but I toughed it out and was able to get this one. TFTC.
