Caching today mcklo. Our Mom turned 55 today, so we are out to get 55 caches! It was fun to begin to travel along Brighton Rd. I have lived in Brighton my whole life, but have never really had the occasion to use this road.

Cache: 50/55

TFTC!

The clue is very good but I might also add that to beer bottles are better than one. Apparently no one is picking up the trash here. But at least the cache is still here and all is well. It's a bit breezy today but still a good day for caching. The eagles are not be nesting right now, but I'll come back when they are. A good view of the Platte and the far mountains. Thanks for the hide.
