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!!!

US14 ET Highway Trip with Sol de Lune and Mtrax. Day 24. Time to cross a few more US states of the list for Caching, starting in Casper, Wyoming. Today on the way to Sheridan from Forsythe we went to the little Bighorn reserve. The story as presented by the park ranger was intense and a bit messy. The rest of the day was roadside caching and visits to small towns along the way. Thanks.

Some interesting locations around town thanks for the excuse to explore this town.
starting in Forsyth we have reached the top of our driving loop now heading south back to Wyoming via a few small towns Hysham and Harin and stopping in Sheridan.
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 (me). 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, South & Nth Dakota and Montana before finishing back in Los Angles, our finds for the trip totalled well over 4,000 geocaches.

Visiting from Australia and found with Albida and mtrax during our 4 week US adventure...
After missing accommodation in Miles City because of the Rodeo, we had to venture a little further west and ending finding somewhere to stay in Forsyth.
Up the next day and while heading to Little Bighorn, we starting grabbing caches from the git go.....and all those that we found were fine.
Thanks for this one and for adding to the fun of our trip. Greetings from Australia.....

Grabbed this new one along the interstate. Tucked nicely away in it's hidey spot. Thanks TechHound.
There were some beautiful head stones here to honor those who were passed on.

I let my friend hold the GPSr while I looked for this cache. He was wearing shorts and it was starting to snow, so I decided to do the dirty work. About 15 minutes later I again asked him for the description and the clue. He repeated what he had told me before.
Me: "So he doesn't give any clue."
Him: "I don't see anything about a clue."
Me: "It's too cold for this, grab onto my ankles and pull me out from under the cattle guard."
Him: "Oh is this the clue? **** ***?"
Him: "What do you need that tire iron for? The cache is over there!"
Me: "Quit running and hold still!!! It's only gonna hurt until you're dead!"
Good thing we were right next to the cemetery. It really reduces costs when you can cut out the middlemen.
TFTC!
