Good evening fellow cachers and friends. Today was a 0600 hour start again but in Alamo, it takes about an hour for breakfast at a fast food place. Once we ate it was on the road for over an hour to start at ET-626 and off we went. It was sunny but cold with a lot of ice on the water holes and sides of the road.  Once we arrived we had a blast with a quick stop at Racheal for a five minute picture taking session. Then it was off to caching again in our dusty vans. Today was a great day for numbers as we did 5 non ETH caches and 820 ETH caches stopping at ET-1441 before heading back to Toonpah. About noon we had to return to Tonopah to get more gas which took about an hour and a half away from caching. But that is the way it had to be done this trip. We saw a lot of wild horses and cows today and we did not get buzzed by a jet today, man that was loud.
About 40 minutes into caching I was on run duty and when  I returned to the van I jumped in and hit my head on the door and I have been told I was out cold for about 10 + seconds. A quick check by our CIA nurse and a few pills, we were off again.. Nice little bump on my head..
Once we logged out last find for the day it was slightly dark and very cold. After supper we grabbed tow caches in the dark, this was so funny to see nine cachers in a strange town out of country with each a flashlight looking for small caches. It did not take too long before they were in hand.
The hotel manager informed us it may snow tonight and tomorrow with up to 18 incehs of snow. As we are staying here tomorrow it may be winter caching like my kid sis in NB..
We are all having a blast and love the great adventure. The team all get along and laughter is the code of the day.. Stay tuned for tomorrow nights blog.

  1. Paul,
