Memories of Route 66! Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

wademercer: Time for these to retire. Feel sad that a few cachers have littered the Dfw area with thousands of poorly rated caches... all to appease a few loopers... not sure how you can brag about a hundred or more loops when most are from falsely rated caches! Also frustrating that the dfw cachers aren’t discouraging this bad behavior. I feel the north Texas geocaching association should be spearheading a movement to encourage cachers to rate their caches appropriately. To have some pride in the cachers and caches they represent. Instead, they actively participate in their Denton overrated events, and enjoy another false loop. They should be discouraging inaccurate cache ratings. Txga leadership should be modeling the best geocaching behavior for others to follow. Step up.

The fourth weekend in July, 2011, The Desert Seven(Zeppo!, Prairieearth, Mobcacher, Fe, skootercolumbo, Lindbergh31, and myself), took off for a 1037 cache running weekend along Route 66 in California. Yes, the famous Route Sixty Six that is!!! The famous route running from LA to Chicago!

The journey brought us together in Vegas, not on the same flight, but at an almost midnight meeting at the airport. Two of us flew in a few days earlier, and the remaining five took the legendary Spirit flight! From Vegas we hit the Mojave desert, and eventually into Utah, before finally making our way back to Texas. And the stories.... Ask any of the survivors about ...

Spirit Airlines flights
Why we didn't have the SUV we reserved (but yet fit in a Ford Explorer)
The Vegas sign at midnight (or was it after midnight???)
600-800 cache finds a day
Heat penalities
The caching video
Roy's
Wind sprints from one cache to another in 115 degree heat
In and Out burgers
Sitting in the back seat
Sitting in the middle, middle seat
Will Zeppo! be coyote food?
"Its only a block to walk .... "
Finding food along the strip at midnight
The Vegas hotel
Being tourists around the Hoover Damn
"Lets cache in 4 states too ..."
1067 caches
The pathtag

I am sure each of us could add our own memories! Regardless it was truly a caching trip that will never be forgotten!

So it really was cool to get that many caches in a single weekend! And then .. to log all of them.... Well maybe that is another story all together!

So on to this puzzle ...
Guess you need to find the values of A through F. I will tell you where to look now ... The needed values are in the logs from that weekend .... :)



When you log this cache, please add a story about a caching adventure you have had...
