Geocaching Our Way To Oregon

Our first cache in Ks. It was kinda tricky getting into this graveyard but we did not give up.


We love graveyards and trees.Seems like we did 3 graveyards in a row while in Ks. This was Wednesday afternoon.


And then there was Dodge City. I was looking for Matt Dillon but he was at a doctor's appointment. Teri in a city park. She was digging and did find this one. It was right before we hit Colorado.

We skipped Colorado as it was dark while we traveled through.

Wyoming was fun. We slept 3 hours in Cheyenne and got up and hit it againThursday morning. Was great getting through Denver at 1 am. No traffic and lots of construction going on. I hate driving through there in the daytime.No scaring these large crows in Wyoming.

On over to Green River. We let little grass grow under our tires this trip.

A quick stop at Little America truck stop. Grabbed 2 cashes here. We have toured the place earlier so did not waste much time here. May stop for ice cream on way home.

There is a bird tree in this tree holding the cache at Little America.

Heading up to Idaho. We made a few finds on Hiway 30. This is a nice toristy road. Not commercial, just God's handiwork.The uploader will not keep the photos in order. Below is a shot from my rearview mirror. These are mountains in Idaho, just north of the Wyoming border, on 30.

Teri is off for another one on Hiway 30.

There is a cache hanging in there. Can you find it?

Interstate 84, I was trying to beat this rainstorm. We were in a construcion site so was slow go. We did beat it.
This was a great trip. 39 hours to drive 2,000 miles and we took our time. Stopped lots of times to rest and search out a cache. Once we made this trip in 32 hours but the car kept rolling, non stop, except for a one hour shopping trip in Boise.
Thanks to those who rode with us via the tracking system. There were several of you emailing me as we traveled. Sometimes I had to type and drive at same time. I am sure you could tell by my spelling when Teri was napping.
We arrived in Irrigon, Or. about 10 pm. Traffic was heavy in a lot of spots. We ran into some hiway construction along the way. Some was for 20 miles at a time. Stopped in Mountain Home, Id. and had supper, then off for Oregon. We hit the Ontario, Or. rest area before dark. Darkness did not fall until we hit the mountains around Le Grand. Those mountains are killers on motorhomes but barely realized they were there in the Vibe. Teri has already been looking at the geocaches here along the Columbia River. I figure a few will be had before dark.
Life is good.
