Logs
This road trip was hatched about a year ago by Tycoon Otto and myself. The original plan was to go back down to the US and hit some power trails, but it morphed into a 13 day, 17,500km geo-odyssey. During this road trip I had several highlights:
1) Got my 7,000th cache and well onto my way to 8,000.
2) Signed 1,026 caches in a single day (HMD power trail California).
3) Visited 18 states in one single 24 hour period.
4) Got 12 different cache types in a single day.
5) Visited "Mingo" the oldest active cache in the world.
6) Signed 1,548 caches during this 13 day period.
7) Cached in 48 states.
More importantly, there were several memories and sites I will never forget. I thoroughly enjoyed the town of St. Charles, Missouri and Cadillac ranch on Route 66.
I will post a picture of our track log in GCZ02V (Seeing Seagulls) and GCMQ1X (Weigh up), the first and last caches in this road trip.
As always caching with Tycoon Otto was a blast. Thanks again for a great caching experience.
To all the cache owners that made this possible, thanks for the cache and happy caching!!!

We are on a geo-caching road trip for 3 weeks to grab the oldest caches in 8 states and provinces. Our trip started in Port Alberni BC Canada and by the time it is over we will have traveled 8,000 kilometeres or 5,000 miles. This is day 10 and what a perfect day we had. Our goal today was to head for North Dakota and head for the oldest cache there. I want to thank all of the CO's for placing the caches and showing me this country side. SL TFHT
US14 ET Highway Trip with Sol de Lune and Mtrax. Day 22. Time to cross a few more US states of the list for Caching, starting in Casper, Wyoming. Today we set off from Rapid City to go North to get to North Dakota. A travel day, but a high priority on caching. We saw quite a few small towns along the way and got to explore a lot of out of the way spots. Thanks.

Heading north from Rapid City via Sturgis and Spearfish heading to North Dakota ending up in a small town call Belfield
Our main aim was to visit and geocache in a few more US States.
Greetings from Canberra Australia.
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.

I took the Amtrak train to Minnesota, to see a twins ballgame so I stopped to find this cache. This Cache was on my way to Williston
[center]October Road Trip 2013[/center]
I had five days off of work and decided to head west on a road trip to try and finish up some challenge caches that I have been working on. I left Minnesota to drive to western Nodak, up into Saskatchewan, looped through Montana, heading home through Sodak, and finished up in Minnesota again. It was a fun trip by myself. I ended up with 2751 new miles on the car and caching in 67 different counties and 70 different DeLorme pages. Thanks to all the cache hiders that made this a possibility, especially in the desolate areas of North and South Dakota.
We must be following the same route. I used this as a turning point as well. Finally heading in the direction of home. I stopped for this quick on and admire the wind damage to the sign. Now that is some strong wind.
