It's funny you say that.
While I was on vacation in Montana, I placed a total of 4 caches (one =
archived because admin thought a REAL cache should go there), with 2 =
being traditional caches (ammo cans) and the other a virtual.
My father-in-law said he would maintain them for me, and even picked out =
the areas (he's hooked). Billings, MT only had 5 caches prior to my =
arrival, which is a shame considering the many great cache areas around =
town, each with their own unique challenge. If I had more time/money to =
plan, I'd have dropped a dozen caches in town, and nown of them would =
have been altoids tins under lightpoles, because there were so many =
locations to choose from.
I must say, the number of trees and the design of the neighborhoods was =
unbelievable. Even though most of the trip was nearly as warm as =
Phoenix, it was a great vacation. Beartooth Highway is a MUST-DRIVE for =
anyone in the area. Just make sure that the wildfires aren't pushing =
smoke into the Shoshone National Forest area(s), because it really hid =
the beauty of the mountains. Fortunately, we made it through and =
stopped at all the various scenic spots before the winds shifted.
The very first cache I visited, Black Otter Trail, had a TB inside that =
had a goal to get to a cache within 20 miles of Tucson. How ironic. :) =
It's now 865 miles closer to that goal. Hey Scott (MBH)...you planning =
a trip to Phoenix anytime soon?
