It's funny you say that.
While I was on vacation in Montana, I placed a
total of 4 caches (one archived because admin thought a REAL cache should go
there), with 2 being traditional caches (ammo cans) and the other a
virtual.
My father-in-law said he would maintain them for
me, and even picked out the areas (he's hooked). Billings, MT only had 5
caches prior to my arrival, which is a shame considering the many great cache
areas around town, each with their own unique challenge. If I had more
time/money to plan, I'd have dropped a dozen caches in town, and nown of them
would have been altoids tins under lightpoles, because there were so
many locations to choose from.
I must say, the number of trees and the design of
the neighborhoods was unbelievable. Even though most of the trip was
nearly as warm as Phoenix, it was a great vacation. Beartooth Highway is
a MUST-DRIVE for anyone in the area. Just make sure that the wildfires
aren't pushing smoke into the Shoshone National Forest area(s), because it
really hid the beauty of the mountains. Fortunately, we made it through
and stopped at all the various scenic spots before the winds
shifted.
The very first cache I visited, Black Otter
Trail, had a TB inside that had a goal to get to a cache within 20 miles of
Tucson. How ironic. :) It's now 865 miles closer to that
goal. Hey Scott (MBH)...you planning a trip to Phoenix anytime
soon?
