Woah! This was quite an experience for me. I'm not sure how many pages I have completed for this challenge ... I've never given the idea of tackling it much thought. After spending the last few days picking up pages with the kwvers! I think I want to give this challenge more of my attention. Coming to this site was an adventure I will never forget. Congratulations on finishing the challenge! What an honor it was to be with you; thanks for bringing me along.

Challenge Completed! The Fat Cats suggested that we give this challenge a try over a year ago. Habu completed this challenge just as we began to formulate a plan of attack. After purchasing the map and downloading the Delorme macro into gsak, we began to take weekend trips visiting each page at a time. One trip took us from San Diego to Cambria then across hwy 58 to Barstow and Fort Irving road. Another trip had us heading to El Cento to Needles across hwy 40 and beyond...This month we traveled to the Lone Pine area and this weekend we went to Death Valley..Whew!!! Today was the day! Final Time..Everything was going smoothly until we noticed a storm in the horizon..Just as we were within a mile of gz..The snow,sleet and hail began..Our dirt road became white and the wind was howling...What should of been an easy ride up turned into a harrowing experience! We would of loved to hang out at gz for awhile but it was 32 degrees and we were not looking forward to the drive down...What an awesome challenge! Thanks for the fun! We left an unactivated geocoin.

Slightly ironic that the first Delorme Challenge I'd complete would be for the other half of my state. I've cached 57 of the 58 counties, and down south, I needed just 14 new Delorme maps. A huge trip with Motorbug would do it: 8 daze, 2600 miles, 8 counties revisited, 100+ caches, the 14 maps. Cached with Geobrowns, DavidT21 & Fisherwoman, TeamPerks, and Fishpoet. In years past, cached other Delormes with TeamAlamo, Ranboze, and the great SoCal4x4geocachers crew. Thanks one and all. This trip, did a SoCal4x4geocachers jeep run up Last Chance Cyn and went underground for 0.4 mile at Burro Schmidt Tunnel. Did my third run on the Bradshaw Trail. Was below sea level twice, at Badwater and Salton Sea. Padded more Fizzy combos: 4/4.5, 2.5/5, 4/5. Did some Golden State Delormes. Got the dreaded Yuma corner, for me, the far side of the moon. Memorable cache locations... Mt Whitney, Teakettle Junction, Badwater, Barker Ranch Goler Wash, D is for Desert Phone Booth, Mojave Road, Amboy (because I absolutely had to get two that dark night), Dangling Wooley at Joshua Tree (cuz it was dumb to twilight rock climb), Pushwalla Trail, PeeWee Desert Lawn Jockey, the dinosaurs at Basement of the Alamo, John Bull Trail at Big Bear, Ranboze's C-119 wreck hike in the Angeles, the wreck hike at Townes Peak Death Vly, flying into Waypoint Cafe at Camarillo, F is for Faultline, James Dean, and of course caches along I-5. Thanks MooseMob!!!

I told my caching buddies who have seen me toting around the socal atlas around for months that I was NOT working it. I just wanted to pick up a cache on each page I happen to be traveling through, just in case SOME DAY ever came. Well I guess it came when I took my first dedicated socal DeLorme page gathering trip last December.The journey is the adventure of course. While I am very happy to be done, at the same time there are probably a hundred places I would like to visit again and some really great memories of people, places, things and events that I will always cherish. I remain amazed at the beauty and size of this state, and in particular the open land available to the public in the south. Most recently I've taken trips with bthomas, DT21&FW and GeoBrowns as we wheeled around and grabbed pages. Not without their company and encouragement would I be claiming this. And so many of the caches I found had the same signature before I was there-- retiredprof. Really an incredible time and journey filled with wonderful memories. Even if you think you will never do this challenge, tote that atlas around. You never know. TFTC!
