Thought butterflies would be good one for #500, but they thought it was still too cold, so we logged the cache and will come back to see them on another day. PS: compared to Helena, we thought Billings was WARM.

[log] Cool area; we hadn't had any drinks, so we spotted this one right off.

[log] Left the fifth quarter, so the next to come will reap treasure. Interesting little park, glad it had 2 caches so we could spend some time here.

[log] Loved the end of this - well worth the time for the decoding. Thanks.

[log] Nice little 2 parter. Thanks.

[log]Wonder what the sign was?! - quick easy one. Thanks.

[log] Starting to get dark but we haven't had our daily fill of caching yet, so took pictures in the dark to sharpen in Photoshop later.

[log]One of our favorites today both for theme and hide. Thanks for one that we could even do in the dark.

[log] Boy, in the dark we were "lucky" Forgwarts is so lucky; he found almost by accident in less than 4 minutes in the dark! Thanks for a tough hide.

[log] Yah, nothing is free here except the parking. Quick easy find as the last of the day.

[log]

[log]
For some reason we stood on our heads for a while on this one, even though it was so simple.

[log]
Clever and fun Rodger & Sharon.

[log]
This one took a lot of work to create; one of our favorites for the day. Thanks.

[log]
This one took a lot of work to create; one of our favorites for the day. Thanks.

[log]
Only one set of muggles, but we didn't have to walk - the wind blew us to the cache. Nice hide

[log]
Yep - that person had to have one too many to take out this sign! Nice easy find

[log]
Our third duck! Yippee. When is the goose going to lay the golden egg?

[log]
We had a hard time navigating to the trailhead, but it was a great place to stretch our legs. The water was calm - no wind for a change. Saw tons of robins, but no osprey at this time of year. Cache was in good shape. Thanks for a great hike.

[log]
We are going to log a find, since we found the container, but the actual log has gone missing; we have notified Brian.

[log]
What a great hide!!!! One of our favorites in a 44 cache weekend.

[log]
What an interesting area; what would cause these formations in the middle of flat fields. Was this an sea at some time? Tricky hide location also.

[log]
Oh, Brian, you have an evil mind - and we love it! Thanks.

[log]
Nice hike, although Frogwarts' GPS was into scenic routes today. I guess they are ALL drain holes in a way, huh.

[log]
Cool area that gets its name in an obvious way. We had to do this one in two parts, haha. Cleverly concealed hide.

[log]
Cache in good shape; we nabbed this one at the same time as Kiddie Rims.

[log]
We were determined to hit 20 before we left town - this was #18. Clever hide - we've got your modus operandi now!

[log]
Yes, the coords are way off for us also; thank goodness the description clues will lead you right to it. Interesting container. We've learned a lot in Billings.

[log]
Got too dark on Saturdy, so this one was our last on Sunday -#40 for Billings. Just wish it had been open; it looked like a neat place to visit.

[log]
On our way home from Billings, we decided to clean out Columbus; this was #1 and our favorite along with the duck. Clever, Clever, Clever.

[log]
Found the cache with a little bushwhacking, but almost lost the car on the way back. Good thing it was close to Cottonwood.

[log]
THE LAST DUCK!!! Are we set for the goose now.

[log]
What a dump is right, but a beautiful sunset view. This was our last due to darkness and time; it was an apt hiding place.

[log]

 [log] A visit to Billings helped us with this one, but a good hide none the less. Evil unless you were in the know, just like cameljockey's.

 [log] Great day for a two cache hike; the wind helped with the hydroplaning on the way out, and the cardio-vascular fitness on the way back. Took the GF Least Used Took TB, left some trinkets plus our usual bear and frog. Beautiful views of the dam.

 [log] Avoided the bicycle muggles to score this one; picked up the Gollum and Sweetie Onion bugs for our trip down south to Arizona.

 [log] Interesting hidey-hole for this one. We knabbed the little bear TB, George, of course for Bearfr; he's come 20,000 miles from the United Kingdom just to visit her. Will pass him along to our TB hotel or give him a ride to Arizona.

 [log] Sneaky hide hanging out at this market. Our last find of the day.

[top]

 [log] Gorgeous spring drive; only walked the last .25 mile cause of snow. There were whole fields of blooming pasque flowers, and tons of other wildflowers; we had a blast with our digital macro lens. Cache was in good shape. We will move the geo-pod TB and a Boy Scout wooden coin on their way. Traded other goods as well and left the Clifford Red Dog TB. Thanks for a great cache and a beautiful area.

 [log]Had to walk into the campground, as it wasn't open for the season yet - the road is still full of snow in spots, but the scenery was spectacular; the creek was high and fast - a fishing paradise. It took about 10 downed trees from the hint because the reception was spotty, but Bearfr located in the end. CAche is in good shape, and full of toys. We had no toys to trade, so just signed the log. Thanks for a good one and a great start to spring caching.

 [log] #3 for the day. We took our wet suits, scuba gear and resucitation equipment( yah - right!!), but only ended up carrying it since we were smart enough to figure out how to stay dry the easy way - just look around when you park cachers! It was an easy fine, and a nice walk to the cache. Thanks.

 [log] Had to sneak past the sleeping trucker, but we found it with waking the muggle. Great traffic location; too bad the pictures and history are in Stanford.

 [log] Well, Bearfr is stubborn. We found the first stages easily, then got totally shut out on the final. Decided to drive up and get White Wolf, because we were getting sunburned and were out of water. But on the way back to GF, Bearfr insisted we give it a second try. Coming from the parking this time, our GPSs gave us a totally different location for the final, and bingo there it was; we have no idea what was going on earlier, but future cachers who are having trouble might try a different direction of approach. Good hide for experienced cachers. This made it #5 for the day, and completed a successful trek.

[log] We left a Boy Scout tracking coin on our way to Billings.

[log] Pretty sneaky with the guard hint. Beautiful area on a sunny day.

[log] Easy to find TB house. We took ET and left George the Bear.

[log] Two parter with two hundred muggles I swear. We got lucky on the first, and had no trouble away from the muggles on the second. Nice cache.

[log]
Our coords were off, but we finally looked in the obvious place and there it was. We removed the tiny knife to make the cache legal & left a frog and bear.

[log] Left the GeoPodcaster TB and took a tiny green lizard for the car dash.

[log] The interesting smell nearby did Gotcha, but the clever cache was worth it.

[log]

[log]

[log] Coords were right on, though it took us a little searching.

[log] No problem. Took the Buffalo Soldier TB and left the Vidalia Onion TB.

[log] Used our smiling and jumping frog stamps; the bear was accidently left home.

[log] No problem on this one; nice river walk in the early afternoon.

[log] The sun was hotter than on Sundance and the ticks thicker; we counted to 13 between the two of us. This was our last one of the afternoon before heading to Billings for a birthday bash. Turns out Leonata, Bearfr, RScout, and Mickey Mouse share four days in May.

[log] Headed up here to log, and to look for the cell phone Leonata lost earlier. Got the first, but not the second, after being decoyed of course.

[log] Always the scenic route takers, we climbed the hill rather than drive closer and do it the easy way. We finally know what cedar looks like now! Thanks for a good offset cache.

[log] This is definitely a micro Altoid; gorgeous views and flowers.

[log] Educated an interested father and son muggle team while hunting; Bearfr was excited to find a Red Hat brooch.

[log] Found this one on our way down the trail toward the motel for the night.

[log] Addiction is hard; had to keep up our 20 a day Billings record and this quickie sufficed fine.

[log] On the way to the goose; stop and get one of the last 2 ducks! First of the early morning..

[log] We're not couch potatoes, but I sure was glad to find the easy route up; yes, follow that path! The geese entertained us all the way along the river. #568 Ah - Second to find; need I say more.Thanks Brian for 7 challenges, even if we skipped one. Left the Show and Tell TB as a third to find prize.

[log] Ah - Second to find; need I say more.Thanks Brian for 7 challenges, even if we skipped one. Left the Show and Tell TB as a third to find prize.

[log] Oh this is sneakier than most we've seen, and we've seen a lot. Nice hide guys.

[log] The hint threw us the first time; once we learned to read, the second shot was easy. Of course we'd been right beside it a million times the first time!!!

Brian AI	Leonata & Bearfr floating the cache with water

[log] Timing is everything. Met up with the Leonata/Yumotori/Red Hot Mama team and fortunately had the rest of the one or two they needed to acheive the log for all of us. Evil, Evil Brian would never have had a log from us on this one otherwise. We hesitate to say thanks in the fear it will prompt him to hide more like this one.

[log] Cute little cache in a nice park. Thanks for an easy multi.

[log] Well, OH My God twice, paraphrasing Brian. How, How, How could we have missed this the first time; fortunately we can claim muggles from the time period. Who knows if it disappeared before or after our stupidity. We could not believe the level of our blindness, so this one was our favorite of a 44 log trip to Billings.

[log] Yup-it's green alright, and easy to find. Thanks

[log] The second time in daylight made a quick score. Thanks for introducing us to these cool puzzles.

[log] Bearfr was starting to lag in the heat, but she hung in their for this last rim cache.

[log] Nice round trip walk in the park.

[log] Yup - things sometimes take two touches, or 3 or 4 or 12. Thanks Rodger, we think. It was a cool one.

[log] Yup - things sometimes take two touches, or 3 or 4 or 12. Thanks Rodger, we think. It was a cool one.

[log] Us hooked?!! Oh for heavens sake!! It has nothing to do with driving 680 miles in two days, spending $69.00 on gas, and hiking a million miles - or so says Bearfr. It's simply that we needed to get out of the house for a change, and decided to attend a joint birthday party in Billings for the other 3 cachers we know that have May birthdays too (Bearfr turned 55). So what if did 44 caches in two days; maybe we bore easily. It couldn't be the company, because the party at RScout's was a blast!

[log] Oh my, what could the hint for this one be. Had fun grabbing it; thanks.

[log] Not only was the view great, but the bitterroot growing on the rocks was 8 x10 picture fare!

[log] Be thought the statues were grand; wish they would have a parking area that avoids crossing traffic. The cache hide was clever and the road race well worth it. Thanks for bringing us here.

Bitterroot

[log] Such clever camo! Bearfr traded for a tiny lizard pin for her hat collection

[log] Bearfr could reach this one! Thanks for a quick leaving Billings cache for our habit.

[log] No rattlers - grass too short. No muggles due to rain.

[log] Well we had to come over here and give this very, very clever two trys and a hint, but we got it. Meanwhile the owners were in Helena, our home town, calling us for hints. Ain't geocaching grand!

[log] Dillion, MT First cache of 125 on a trip from Montana to Phoenix; James(Frogwarts)is an author also, so he left his card.

[log] Dillion, MT Nice campus; sneaky cache. Fun one early in the morning.

[log] Clark Canyon Reservoir, MT Early morning caching snagged us a view of a loon on the reservoir as well as the cache. We took a postcard about an author since Frogwarts is one.

[log] Pleasant Valley, MT Exchanged booty for a beautiful handmade leaf bookmark. The creek was rushing onway, full to the brim.

[log] Hamer, MT Took nothing except pics of the beautiful roadside wildflowers in pink and purple.

[log] Hamer, MT The Tetons were crisp in the early sunshine, and Menan Butte dark and looming in the other direction. Thanks for the views.

[log] Hamer, MT We really wanted this cache to be the weird pipe in the ground nearby, but the owner had us fooled there. Nice freeway break.

[log] # Idaho Falls, ID Picked up Gracie and Stinky Baby; left Diamond Head and Buffalo Soldier.

[log] Idaho Falls, ID Picked up the Mort the Alien and got some beautiful river pictures

[log] Idaho Falls, ID Marty the Zebra will get his wish; my daughter is in the Peace Corps in Madagascar, so he will get a chance to visit and get his picture taken with the native children. Left Gollum to explore a new dark place.

[log] Idaho Falls, ID What weird looking flowers you have, Papa Bear. Great hide.

[log] Pocatello, ID Found it fairly easily; camo has suffered from the weather.

[log] Pocatello, ID Clever container; nice hide.

[log] Pocatello, ID Quick find.

[log] Pocatello, ID Had lots of tiny lizard friends help us with this find; they posed for pictures too.

[log] Pocatello, ID Interesting history. Email on the way.

[log] Pocatello, ID We liked the container;the brambles are getting thick, so we were glad it was a quick find.

[log] Arimo, ID We know we found the unique container, but it was completely empty. The area is completely flooded, thus not accessible from the normal route, so this was a challenge. We will email a picture to verify the find.

[log] Riverside, UT Quick find; the last of our first day on the way to Tucson. Thanks for the break

#0607 Porter Rocks by Hook Dawn Cache
Hint: Virtual at the rock marker

[log] Draper, UT Start of our second day on the way to Tucson.

[log] Draper, UT Murals are well worth the stop; very interesting carving.

[log] Springville, UT Traded ET for the Travelertag disc

[log] Springville, UT Great stop, even if a small ways off the freeway; well worth the time. Thanks.

[log] Salem, UT We have one of these in the same place at home in Helena, MT

[log] Scipio, UT Lots of these everywhere now.

[log] Scipio, UT Traded for a colorful El Paso magnet on our way to Tucson.

[log] Fillmore, UT This was a lot friendlier place than the Salt Lake City traffic; wish the capital hadn't moved.

[log] Cove Fort, UT Traded a penquin rock scrimshaw for a really cool heart carbiner

[log] Beaver, UT Logged the cache and had an ice cream break.

[log] Paragonah, UT A great area to visit, though we found the coords off by about 30 feet. The cache is in need of maintenance - broken container; the find was one of our favorites for this trip.

[log] Cedar City, UT Can't be easier than this. The vermillion cliffs make this an extra special reason to stop here. Thanks for the view and the cache.

[log] Toquerville, UT We were almost out of rechargables, so the batteries we traded for came in very handy. Our first desert walk this trip with gorgeous cactus flowers.

[log] Toquerville, UT Of course - why else?!

[log] Zion National Park, UT Old bridge, new bridge - which one has the hide. Clever hide. Enjoyed this one a lot.

[log] Kanub, UT What a wonderful garden! Picture with GPS and Frogwarts to follow soon.

[log] Kanub, UT Found it just a sunset, so we have both day and night nipple pictures. Thanks for the extra benchmarks too.

[log] Kanub, UT Ah, clever muggle-free equipment. Traded for the first day stamp and will move the Snowbird TB on to Phoenix to see the grandparents.

[log] Kanub, UT Wish we had had time to hike here in the daytime; hit the cache at sundown. Beautiful area

[log] Kanub, UT In the dark no less with a flashlight on our way to Page for the night. Traded for the magnetic hematite.

[log] Utah/AZ Border The last one for the second day of our trip to Phoenix; special due to the border crossing. Found it with a flashlight in the spooky dark - no wildlife thank heavens.

[log] Page, AZ Very nice trade goods in this cache; traded screwdriver for soap strips. Largest cache container of this type we've run onto.

[log] Cameron, AZ Thank heavens for this virtual to break the long drive from Page to Flagstaff. Interesting history.

[log] Flagstaff, AZ One of favorites from this MT to Tucson trip. Bearfr of course participates in this as well, and the hide was very clever.

[log] Flagstaff, AZ Got lucky; the area was closed for graduation so no muggles or traffic!

[log] Mormon Lake, AZ Traded for the Lucky Ducky TB.

[log] Mormon Lake, AZ A tiny black lizard became our friend for life when we nabbed this one.

[log] AZ Rest Area Stopped for info on the way to Tucson.

[log] New River, AZ Those mice, huh?! Good one.

[log] New River, AZ Grabbed food and this cache; neat hide location.

[log] New River, AZ This was one of the best we did on a 126 cache trip to Tucson from Montana; talk about looking right at it! Very clever hide in a great location needing stealth or not.

[log] Phoenix, AZ Had never seen misters before; Frogwarts knew right where to go for this one.

[log] Phoenix, AZ Bearfr homed right in on this one by feel; clever hide, and so muggle-laden!

[log] Phoenix, AZ Dropped the Snowbird TB for the grandparents to find and picked up Pompellion II (Sail the 7 Seas)

[log] Phoenix, AZ Stopped for the info on the way to Tucson.

[log] Phoenix, AZ TNLNSL from the dusty desert.

[log] Phoenix, AZ Should have been the weird old rusty,mossy lock in the tree, but the cache owner was much more clever.

[log] Eloy, AZ Nabbed Baha Bug TB from this camo desert cache.

[log] Our first Tucson cache.

[log] What an interesting site; so many intriquing things to look at and explore - especially the mural.

Look up at the rail

[log] We were told that to be a real cacher in Arizona, you have to be able to do a Wily Havelina cache, and this one proved it; Frogwarts finally saw the light.

[log] Hit this one at dusk on the way back from visiting my Dad at La Posada; fortunately, no snakes in the desert tonight. Frogwarts traded for his millionth golf ball.

[log] The first of three desert hikes today near Pima College; of course we took the scenic long way out and back. Dropped off two bugs, Golfer's Least Used Tool and Stinky Baby.

About .8 hike on a Folf course

.

[log] Walked about .8 of a mile in the gorgeous evening desert; took the Disc no Data TB and exchanged frogs

[log] Our second Wily cache, and very appropriate; Frogwarts picked up the Frog TB. This was our last desert walk of the evening.

[log] Bearfr's GPS took us on the scenic route for this one; down, not up Bearfr!, so we barely beat dark and the park closure - 13 min left. Cool park and terrain. Thanks for bringing us here.

[log] Did the solving before we left Montana, so had to hit this while in Tucson.

[log] Of course a Bearfr favorite, since she's the quilter in the family. The material we signed was reminiscent of Montana too - green, gold, and brown swirl. Neat to think we'll be included in an Arizona quilt some day.

[log] Saw a real roadrunner!!! Alas, too quick for pictures. Clever hide.

[log] Lots of muggles nearing sundown, but we got her done. Took a tiny sunflower and left a frog.

[log] Got some great lake at sunset pictures. Had a crazy time avoiding the neighbors on this one.

[log] Jumping Chollos! Managed to avoid all the bites.

[log]Phoenix, AZ Oh my - Bearfr didn't watch and stood too long in the wrong place; ended up with 6 fire ant bites for her stupidity. Logged the cache, and high tailed it to the hydrocortisone in the first aid kit.

[log] Tempe, AZ Found an interesting wooden geocoin. Fortunate that any necessary gymnastics where done in private this early in the morning.

[log]New River, AZ We took tons of tiny lizard pics while here

[log] New River, AZ The log was completely soaked; we dried it out as best we could and left a new dry log in a tiny ziploc for the next cachers as the old one would possibly rip if written on.

[log] Rock Springs, AZ Now here's a new way to camo an old idea; clever!

[log] Badger Springs, AZ Traded for the insect bite kit since this was Bearfr's fire ant bite day.

[log] Cordes Junction, AZ Amazing how things blend in sometimes.

[log] Cherry, AZ Traded for the plastic palo verde tree for the scrapbook Bearfr will make of our Montan to Tucson trip.

[log] Camp Verde, AZ Thought the sign was as cool as the cache.

[log] Arizona Rest Stop Hit the second of these on the way home to Montana.

[log] Mormon Lake, AZ Muggles walking dogs - why here, but we persevered.

[log] Mormon Lake, AZ It wasn't Bearfr's day - first fire ants, then a fall on asphalt, but caching is still worth it all, she says. Just watch that scree on the way to the cache.

[log] Mormon Lake, AZ Clever, clever hint, but we have grandchildren!

[log] Flagstaff, AZ Our third and last Wily before leaving Arizona, and we loved it. The puzzle was clever, and the final location really cool.

[log] Flagstaff, AZ Got to think tall on this one.

Bird Tracks in the Sand

[log] Page, AZ The carny was muggling the site on our way to Tucson, so we hit it again on the way home; clever camo.

[log] Page, AZ Frogwarts wanted the tiny origami frog bad enough to be clever enough to find this one; great hide.

[log] Page, AZ We took a tiny black spider and had such a wonderful time exploring the scenery and the desert here, complete with baby lizards. Thanks for stopping our homeward rush - it was well worth the time.

[log] Kanub, UT First we read the info and went eyew, but we are so glad we reconsidered on the way home. What a clever, clever cache; one of our favorites out of 126 this trip to Tucson and back from Montana. You guys are great; thanks for the hide

[log] Kanub, UT Sneaky, sneaky, sneaky. Got some fabulous pictures from the cache location!

[log] Kanub, UT This hike was the highlight of our Arizona trip; thank you so much for bringing us to this neat area. We found fossils, took lizard pictures, and traded for a butterfly bookmark.

[log] Kanub, UT This is Bearfr with the monument.

[log] Cedar City, UT Wonder why we found this one so fast? Maybe cause we own one.

[log] Cedar City, UT Interesting, interesting! Where could it be.

[log] Cedar City, UT Quick find then on to ice cream.

[log] Cedar City, UT Bearfr saw the smoke on this one. Took Little Green Sprout TB home to Montana with us.

[log] Cedar City, UT Resident muggle came out to make sure we had found it. Amazing hide even when we knew what we were looking for.

[log] Cedar City, UT Great way to do this one and protect the log. Thanks.

[log] Cedar City, UT We were careful to leave this cache as secure as was.

[log] Cedar City, UT Stopped on the way home to Montana.
#689

[log] Highway 20, UT A quick find.

[log] Scipio, UT Curiouser and curiouser - as we drove up a tiny girl put the cache back in its hiding place, looked at us and ran away to a nearby house.

[log] Scipio, UT TNLN saw no snakes.

[log] Scipio, UT Added a red frog with black marks to the Frogwarts collection.

[log] Scipio, UT Saw no lovers except us on this one.

[log] Nephi, UT What a cleverly hid tunnel. Took the Monkasaurus TB home to Montana to visit Jack Horner at the Museum of the Rockies

[log] Salem, UT Bearfr has 180 bears in her collection, so she left the tiny gold bear for the next child to come along.

[log] Springville, UT Second in the series for us.

[log] Spanish Forks, UT Bizarre - Mapsource showed this one at the same exit as Poker #4, when it's really 10 miles up the road - but it was right where the GPS put it. We were so lucky! - DO NOT check out the nearby lightpost box; it has a live wasp nest. Fortunately, they were sluggish at dusk, so we didn't get stung. By the way, the log is completely full.

[log] Salt Lake City, UT Interesting historical object; wish we had had time to stay for the craft fair that was being set up.

[log] Salt Lake City, UT Interesting historical object; wish we had had time to stay for the craft fair that was being set up.

[log] Salt Lake City, UT Don't know the history of the cache name, but since we are James and Penny, we had to make this our 700th cache, while on a trip to Tuscon. Log was slightly damp.

[log] Salt Lake City, UT Traded for a cool geocaching patch. Wonder if this cache will survive the construction nearby.

[log] Centerville, UT Where do they lead?

[log] Centerville, UT We were confused with the location until we spotted the gas station and A&W on the way out.

[log] Layton, UT Loved this one; we were extra careful 'cause we thought it was cool.

[log] Layton, UT Muggle checked to make sure we had really found it. Amazing how it hid even when we knew what we were looking for.

[log] Layton, UT Amazing that this has not been muggled!

[log] Layton, UT One of our trip favorites; clever hide.

[log] Clearfield, UT Boy did the owner camo this one good; we looked for quite awhile, but Bearfr is persistant.

[log]Ogden, UT How Cool! - we have been missing the Alabama state quarter from our collection for three years, so were thrilled to trade for it. Thanks for setting this one up, and we are so glad it has been muggle free so far.

[log] Arimo, UT TNLNSL

[log] Shelby, ID Just clever word play! Really cool hide method.

[log] Cedar City, UTThanks to the owners for their kindness; we described the cache, but could not log it due to mechanical difficulties. They are gracious enough to extend us a find anyway.

[log]Butte, MT Our 125th cache for our trip to Arizona and back; a fitting tribute to coming home. Thanks for opening up Butte caching again.

[log] Jefferson City, MT #717 Zipped over from I15 South by way of Jefferson City to pick this one up on the way back to Helena. Nice rest area.

[log] Jefferson City, MT Beautiful afternoon for a tiny oasis; found the cache with no problems.

[log] Montana What a great Friday afternoon hike; yes, it is a steep hill, but Bearfr made it - Frogwarts went slow for her. We do suggest a hiking stick; ours were a big help. We found the altitude to be 5141 ft, not 5741; needless to say, Bearfr didn't miss that last 600 ft in elevation. This is a very interesting cliff area, and the coords are right on. Thanks to Soylent Pink for a new area and some great exercise.

[log] Montana Beautiful day for a drive; we didn't even know this was a public road. The meadow was full of wildflowers and the views are gorgeous. Met O'Connellz on the way up and left both a South Ontario and a Georgia geocoin.
#721 Montana So how did you find this gorgeous mountain plateau, Solyent Pink? We definitely needed our topo map but we could drive right to it. It is definitely a 4W road - no major clearance issues, but it would be very hard on street tires. The views were absolutely incredible from a million directions; we can see why this would be a great anniversary trip. Thanks for a new area to us.

[log] Montana We have a kitten named Squirrel, and now we have a cache find named squirrel. We had much better luck with the road in June than we did last October - no ice this time. From Helena, we clocked the mileage as 55 miles one way, so this was one of our longest drives to get a cache. The wildflowers and views were terrific.

[log] Yellowstone Park, MT Our vacation trip to Yellowstone on the holiday weekend. Nice area; interesting fence. Traded for the tribal hat pin, since Bearfr has a collection.

[log] Yellowstone Park, MT Had to avoid about 11,000 muggles camping at the site, but found it with no difficuly thanks to the hint. It was a good time to get in and out swiftly. Traded for a necklace and stickers for our trip scrapbook.

[log] Yellowstone Park, MT Our first Yellowstone virtual; will email the answers.

[log] Yellowstone Park, WY Gorgeous stop; will email our answers.

[log] Yellowstone Park, WY Saw herds of bison on our way through to Red Lodge.

[log] Yellowstone Park, WY What a hike. Wind, sleet, cold, tired. Worth it. Thanks for this cache. TNLNSL.

[log]Yellowstone Park, MT Great place to stop and stretch the legs; incredible views.

[log] Bozeman, MT Traded a Hong Kong coin for a Mexican dollar. Nice stop on the way up from the Top of the World.

[log] Bozeman, MT Took us about 10 minutes from start to finish; GPS was very accurate, but we just missed it in the first search by.

[log] Bozeman, MT Our last cache of our Yellowstone trip; made this one harder than it had to be. Traded a flag pin for the "We're not lost" pin - it seemed appropriate.

[log] St. Ignatius, MT First of a 15 day caching trip on the way back from the Dive Fest at Blue Bay on Flathead Lake to Helena. Easy find, but lots of muggles ona Sunday.

[log] Missoula, MT Had to guess at what words to decode since they didn't download to the PDA, and got it on the first try at the cache! Left a green jeep and took the Maryland to Maryland TB. #738 Missoula, MT Never seen a REAL one before; great work on the hide.

[log]

[log] Missoula, MT Sneaky hint, but we think off the box! #740 Missoula, MT

[log] Missoula, MT We loved this one; it was one of the favorites in a 15 cache day.

[log] Missoula, MT Cameljockey, cameljockey, we're finally getting you figured out. Cool hide.

[log] Missoula, MT Very sneaky; liked it a lot, and put it back just so. Thanks for a cool one.

[log] Missoula, MT Thank heavens the muggles weren't home! Grabbed Baby Steps TB and left a green jeep.

[log] Missoula, MT Oh, did we love the cleverness on this one! Used the tool and all. We do love your caches!
