The Crescent Nail-tail Wallaby was a subspecies of the Nail-tail Wallaby which inhabited the woodlands and scrubs of the west and center of Australia. This animal was found in abundance in Western Australia till the onset of 20th century, but within a decade the wallaby population witnessed a steep slide. Rare sightings continued for some more time till 1920s. The last collected Crescent Nail-tail Wallaby was found trapped in a dingo trap in 1927. The species did survive in wild till 1950s, but the spread of red fox finally triggered Crescent Nail-tail Wallaby extinction.

This was the goal for the day because it helps me with a challenge; I needed an animal that starts with “N”. Quick find. Thanks for placing this cache for me to find. TFTC.

Its been a long hot summer in Texas, I've been trying to get out and do a caching trip a couple of times this summer, but it never worked out. Finally managed to get a week off, and am so happy to be out here in Colorado. The weather if perfect, and there is a load of caches that need my name on Smile Thanks so much for the hide poolsharkycat, I really enjoyed finiding this cache!

Enjoying another day traversing the countryside, acquiring many miles and boosting cache numbers and others in between along the power trails!
Nothing better than caching along the back country roads of America! Thanks for placing these out here. Most were in good shape in these sections however i did replaced wet logs and broken containers as needed. Initialed logs

Funny, the last one was soaked and this one is bone dry. Go figure. TFTC - #1719

I had a much needed geocaching adventure today. I drove over from Denver to Goodland (KS) last night. Got up this morning and continued east to Mingo. Wound up caching my way there and then back towards Denver, ending with a power trail-ish run between Limon and Deer Trail. Got to see lots of sunflowers and even some antelope along the way. Cachly was acting funny, I'm pretty sure it wasn't bringing up all the caches, but oh well. Wound up caching until the sun went down. Now for all those logs…
