Geocache Description:


48 State Cache Dash Introduction (GC79X8F)

This series of caches is intended to be a simulation of my 48 state trip, but on a much smaller scale, more or less making a counter-clockwise circuit of Dane county. If done in one trip, it will take several hours, depending on how long each stop is, and will cover somewhere in the neighborhood of 160 miles.

A few notes…

-Look for the state stickers on the beacons.
-They are all park and grabs.
-Most are winter friendly, some are not.
-Almost all caches are on road signs, a few guard rails.
-Look for magnetic key holders, pill bottles, or homemade pvc containers.
-All log times in the trip descriptions are Central Time.
-If using a cell phone for searching, there are some areas where the signal may be weak or lost altogether.
-If traveled in the intended order, most of the caches will be on the right side of the road, others might need a quick u turn.

NCLD - Kayenta Community Library GC4XN84

The evening before I found this cache, I drove thorough The Bonneville Salt Flats, but it had already become dark I all I could see was straight line traffic for miles and miles. Seemed like there was nothing out there at all. Finally made it to Salt Lake City and fueled up at a Travel Center. Lo and behold there was another virtual cache here for the movie “Dumb and Dumber”, which had scenes filmed here. I slept here for a few hours before getting going again. Must not have rested long enough as I only drove for ninety minutes before needing to sleep again for another hour and a half. As the sun was coming up, I was passing through the Moab, Utah area. I really wanted to stop here and check the place out with its incredible natural beauty, but I had to keep going. I had been to Monument Valley before in 2012 and I intentionally planned my trip to go through there again on my way to Kayenta for my Arizona cache. This one was located at a small community library and was a quick find. The whole stop here was only about five minutes or so. Logged my find and got rolling again…
