Out on a 6 state road trip with KCSearcher on his trip to the region. Stayed the night in MN and then worked the states on our way to Des Moines, IA for the night. We not only grabbed the required 1 cache per state, but upped the game by making it 3 per state. That also qualifies for a challenge in Appleton, WI. The icing on the cake was a FTF in IA. It had been published 2 days before. SCORE!!
This was an amazing run that we finished in just over 9 hours. The weather was clear of the predicted storm and the roads were dry. I am glad that KCSearcher asked me to ride along to keep him company. We spent many hours and miles chatting about so many things.
