My 3,650th cache!

I have had this cache on my to do list for awhile now, and during our trip to Ft Worth for Geowoodstock I was able to grab a handful of ECs, and now Im able to find this fun challenge cache.

I knew I would be in the area today for my kiddos horse competition, so we swung by and made the find before everything started. Then my kiddo got 3rd place! So awesome for her to do so well for her first competition. We are all so proud.

Quick find and sign! Left a fave :)

Day 6 of 12 on the Mingo road trip with KayakLady52. We had great weather until the last couple of days, when we experienced heavy rain at times, road and park closures due to flooding, and constant overcast skies. We enjoyed some awesome sights and amazing views. We met interesting people, found a lot of fantastic caches and had a lot of fun! In total we found 82 Mysteries (mostly challenges), 57 Traditionals (most were oldies), 48 Virtuals, 31 Earthcaches, 8 Webcams, 7 Multi’s, 6 Wherigo’s and 3 Letterboxes! Many thanks to all the CO’s for adding enjoyment to our journey! Caches requiring signatures were signed with our full geocaching names or with 22B and KL52 to save space.

We started the day visiting the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo! Following that visit we headed toward Denver, picking up geocaches along the way! A string of challenge caches was where we started. SL. Thanks for adding to our day's enjoyment irid3sc3nt!

On a 10-state road trip from Niagara Falls, Canada with 22Bongo to Pike's Peak and the Garden of the Gods in Colorado via Mingo on the way there and Beverley on the way home. What beautiful states we visited along the way. We had a great time visiting the oldest in 9 States, 8 web cams, 30 earth caches, about 50 virtuals and signing into 70 challenges as well as favoured and a variety of other caches.

Thank you to all CO's for placing and maintaining these caches.

Logs signed either in our full caching name or 22B KL52

My public profile shows I have found 671 Earth Caches.

Found it at 1409.
I managed to spot this one right away. There wasn't a soul around, though I spotted a muggle walking in a different direction as I headed back to my vehicle.

I qualified for this challenge maybe 2 years ago. I actually got to 100 last year, because of challenges and such. I don't enjoy them all that much, but I think I have handed out Favorite points to a very select few. Here's my output from the Project-GC challenge checker:
