KUDOS ZB!

Most excellent.

The BB and I were just talking about you the other day, wondering if you can gotten sprung yet and when you’d be pedalling out to find GC1HZ2T and the others on the WIOUWASH Trail.

Oh yeah, a recent purchase to add:

21. A set of Weatherguard floor mats for the geo-mobile.

(That will be nice for our winter caching activities and all the mud that we walk in.)

This is about our first off-road geo experience out West in some high country. A memorable caching trip in July 2007.

We had a rental car out in the desert of Utah and Nevada going after GCVFRT and GCMZHF along with GCGEZF.

They are by an old WW II Army Air Corps base. The “tracks” were rutted jeep trails. Which would have been ok but at the time the rental company did not offer SUV 4×4’s.

We got the car (a Toyota sedan I think) hung up a couple of times. And, on one “Volcano Peak View” GCGEZF the incline was too steep to drive up (we tried but that car could not) so we had to dismount the rental a hoof it up with a herd of mountain sheep watching. The temps were 90 – 100 that day. (So I know I smelled like a moutain goat after that cache).

We were warned not to drive on the Bonneville Salt flats (which we didn’t) but the vehicle did have to go through a car wash before it went back and it did have some trim parts that fell off that we put in the trunk.

They had told us when we rented it they told us this vehicle was going to be pulled out of service after us because of it was high mileage. The A/C worked great that day!

Thanks for the info. What a great area to visit and experience.
And yes, so much to see and do!

We are going to fly into Jackson and then drive to the north entrance to Yellowstone and make a huge geo-loop and then down to the Tetons. We have a 17 day trip mapped out and the EarthCaches are bountiful in the parks.

Thanks again,

What’s the Point? Does?!
And, marc ❗ 😉

Now, I know where they are going. Now, if I can just get them into a bison tube.

So, where are they all coming from then? 😆

[Sparse Grey Hackle]

Excellent, thanks.
That answers my question(s) and then some.
No wonder I was getting frustrated.

Thanks!

Don’t fret sweech, to paraphrase the late (great) Janis Joplin (Me And Bobby McGee) because by nature the internet is redundant.

The internet is just another word for nothing that is new,
Nothing don’t mean nothing honey it’s all redundant, now now.
And the feeling of blogging and posting was easy, when you have connectivity,
You know 3G was good enough for me,
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee.

Here is my entry for Nuggets on he Trail #17 for May 3rd.

Disaster strikes! As I was riding along the trail next to the pond area a goose comes flying out of the reeds and hits me mid-flight. I tried to gain control of my bike but before I knew it I had flipped and end up on the ground and on the goose. The goose quickly took off back into the pond area as I lay bloodied by the whole incident. Looking back on it, I hope I did not hurt the goose but I believe landing on it prevented a much more serious injury than a few cuts and scrapes. I landed hard on my shoulder and the goose probably prevented further damage. So, what does one do when this happens? Wipe off the blood, try and rinse off with what is left of the water and move on to the last cache. It was a long ride back to the car. Oh, and thanks for the cache.

I for one Crippler, feel your pain and you are a very lucky person to land on that goose.
Me?
I would have been happy to have landed on on anything but the asphalt!

Yikes!
