Chiahuahua Mountains
We were on the road by 10 this morning. Heading for Lordsburg, NM. There are 3 truckstops there and one of them had 3 stashes. Teri got all of them. The first picture is our first of the day. the stash is showing in the photo if you blow it up and look hard. Very clever.
Here Teri is at our 2nd or 3rd stop of the morning. They kinda all run together. We did 14 of these today and covered over 200 miles in 9 hours. We had a perfect day, finding every one of the caches.
See the smile on her face. What a day. We did a complete circle. Started at Lordsburg, grabbing 6 stashes there or close by. Then we headed west on I-10.
Here is one in an ammo box. I think we grabbed a traveling bug here. We took two travelers today and will drop them as we head to Lousiana in the motorhome. Oh boy, I can see us now. 2 weeks to get from here to Monroe, La. because we are geocaching all along the way. I am glad that Texas is sparsely populated with geocaches.

Steins used to be an old town. Looks like it has been bought and is now private. All closed to the public.
Teri near Steins.
An old cemetary where Teri found one nearby. This was in the Steins area. We found a note here from the Border Patrol in the stash. Warned us, and everyone, not to come here in the dark. Don't come alone anytime and make sure that you have a gun with you. See, this is a drug and human smuggling area. We should have skipped this one.
I love that smile.
Look behind the dead end sign. Someone is back there. Found the treasure but was not tall enough to get it. Guess who saved the day?
Zoom and you will see my girl again. She loves this stuff and is getting good with directions.
Oh yea, she found it.
Here is another stash in an ammo box. Grabbed the 2nd traveling bug here.
Our last one of the day. This one was a bit tough for us but should not have been. Anyway, we grabbed it. Batted 1000 for the day. Not bad for our 3rd day out. First try we were batting 500. We stopped at one that we had been to before and looked it over again. I am thinking someone has done away with it as we never found the thing.

The coordinates are very important. Without them you will find very few of these things. We used the laptop, hooked to the internet, in the car, along with my dash Lowrance gps. When we got in the area Teri jumped out with her main weapon, the Garmin handheld. That thing is right on. My Streets and Trips program is 2 miles off on all coordinates. I can not figure out why but it is no help. Going to load up the Delorme tonight so we will have it on next trip out.
What fun for rvers. We have enjoyed these past 3 days. It can get frustrating though. We have had to rely on the handheld being accurate, and it is. Was hard to depend on the thing but we will from now on. You get to an area and think you know where the item is hidden. Nope, better get out the handheld. I am telling you that Teri is a dead eye shot with that little yellow "gun" of her's.
Thanks for going with us today. We enjoyed the company. We are worn out so I suspect no more hunts for a few days. We were all over the north part of the Chiahuahua mountains today. We still have plans to get on down farther south into those mountains one of these days.
