We have been living here 2 years and hadn't had a chance to go caching. Well we finally went out and found one! Really easy find, and made my boys happy to find it. TFTC!
We planned another vacation to include gambling and geocaching. We made an early start driving form Colorado to Las Vegas. We stoped for only one small string of caches on the way, that being the nut run. We plan to do some caching in the Las Vegas area tomorrow.
Day two of our caching didn't start off as well as we had hoped. On the way to Vegas yesterday we noticed a strange sound coming from our rental car, but after several inspections we could not pinpoint the problem. After another stop Mrs. SDC finally spotted what could be the problem. There was a huge hunk of rubber missing from the sidewall of the tire as well as a piece missing from the rim
. We called the rental car company in Colorado and they said take it to the nearest Budget rental car place and get it exchanged. Well that wound up taking about three hours so needless to say we got a late start. We did however complete our caching task for the day 
.
Day three: We got a fairly early start and worked the North Las Vegas area. The only problems we had was with one of the city's finest. As we crossed an intersection and pulled off the road, he must have kept an eye on us. He made a u-turn and continued to watch us as we signed the log and moved on to the nest cache. He followed us and parked across from the lot that we were in. We began looking for the cache, then he decided to pull up and ask what we were doing. After Mr. SDC spoke to him a while he moved on and so did we. We want to thank all the cache owners for placing and maintaining these caches for our enjoyment. SL, TFTC
Day four of caching, five of our vacation started very early. We got on the road before daybreak as we had a good drive just from Las Vegas to the start of the HMD trail. We decided to go ahead and top off the tank in Parker, as we did not know if there would be any services along Highway 62. It was a good thing we did because there wasn't anything until we got to Twentynine Palms where we planned to stay for the night. Since we weren't planning on going to Parker we didn't load any caches, but we did manage to bring some up with c:geo. For the most part the weather was overcast and mild, but we did hit a bit of high winds and light rain showers as the day progressed. We cached until it got dark. We were amazed with the miles of "rock art" along the railroad bed.
Got another early start to finish up the HMD series and we're glad we did, as it was hotter today then yesterday. We didn't have a lot of issues, just found serval containers at quite a few caches again. For the whole series the only critters we came across was one coyote and a bunch of lizards. Thankfully no snakes or scorpions. It was an enjoyable series being on paved roads, just a little touch and go entering and exiting the road for the caches.

After a 7 day 6,000 km road trip through a bunch of the lower Sates I picked up Adroit Seeker and Rain Willowsnap at the Vegas airport and we headed over to Parker, AZ to hit up the heart of the Mojave power trail.
Yesterday we got up early and headed out and cached our way to Twenty Nine Palms where we checked in to our hotel and grabbed a short nap during the hottest part of the day. After a quick dinner we hit the PT again finishing just after 9:30 pm and logging 768 caches for the day.
Today we headed to Vegas picking up caches on the way including the thank you caches and 100 of the CCX4 series.
TFTC.

Enjoyed another fun day of caching in the area with Roman and Rain Willowsnap on the CCX4. Our 4x4 had no troubles with the area despite some nasty wash outs and soft sandy spots. Thank goodness the day was not as hot as the last few days which made this series bearable.
Found early in the morning so we had a little peace and quiet searching for this one which was a quick find.
Thanks retrofit for the cache.

Another great day of caching in the area with Adroit Seeker and Roman on the CCX4, and also picked up some other caches along the way. Glad the weather was a bit more bearable compared to yesterday.
Thank you for the cache, retrofit!

US14 ET Highway Trip with Sol de Lune and Mtrax. Day 6. Based out of Twentynine Palms for the day we set out to attack the HMD series as best we could. A dust storm restricted out eastwards starting point, but we still had a solid day along this road, even though the edge was pretty soft most of the time. Having finished the HMD we could get to, it was time to spend the afternoon caching around town. Quite different from all the desert micros. Thanks.

another day in 29 Palms completing the HMD series, , hitting town and gathering up a few local caches before calling it a day
Logged as "SAM" which is a team of three Sol De Lune, Albida33 and Mtrax. Visiting the US as a team for the 2nd time, our mission to complete the ET series but before and after do some more exploring and geocaching along the way. Our tour starts around Barstow and a few days in Las Vegas before caching over to 29 Palms before hitting the ET Highway straying at Rachel and Tonapah.
Our second stage of our trip saw us doing a loop around Wyoming, Nebraska, Sth & Nth Dakota and Montana before finishing back in Los Angles, our finds for the trip totalled well over 4,000 geocaches.

Found with Albida and mtrax during our 4 week 2014 US adventure. Logs were signed as S.A.M...
Did parts of the this series in small sections to ensure we were on the correct side of the road. All went well and we managed to grab quite a few in the series, which turned out to be a bonus.
Thanks for the fun and the finds.....
