Heartland Challenge - A Cache a Day for 100 Days

Day 1 - while sitting at the gathering I decided it was time.

Moved here from Northern Virginia - about time I got this cache!  Got lucky in suspecting the cache container. Well placed.

OOPS - should have saved this one for bad weather.  Made me realize I need to plan these out a little.

Nice peaceful walk to a well placed cache.

006 Otter Creek

Cache was missing three days ago but CO replaced quickly.  Cache container is bright and shiny useful object.  It could be muggled quickly without camo tape.  Nice unknown park though!!

007 Just Let Me Hang!

LOTS of ticks and a number of spider bites.  VERY nice location.  Found a hawk or owl feather near GZ.


008 Do yourself a favor: Take a kid fishing!

Nicely placed cache. Can be quick.  Can be hard.

Second of this style I have found in the streak and it is only day 10.

Meant to save these but muggles were too close to my planned cache for today.

011 Riding a Rail 13

Great container, well placed in an enjoyable place to view the beaver's handiwork.  Another great place that would have been missed without a cache!

012 Leave It To Beaver

Leave It To Beaver

I have been driving with 400 feet of this cache since late 2009.  Figured it was time to grab this one.

013 Lost in the Parking Lot - Radcliff

Peaceful with a good view across the open space.

Day 15 - embaressing that this matches my previous longest string of days caching.  Fortunately for me, there great and friendly cachers in the area.  Thought I would go with a Turtle cache today.

015 RRQ (EMF)

RRQ (EMF) Ver. 2

So this is the first in the great series!  Wish I had brought my camera along on this one.  The place calls out for pictures.

Prior to today, my longest streak was 15 days in late 2008.  Mid-September just became tough as my wife is having a knee replacement done then.  Thank goodness there are still a number of George & Co's Riding a Rail series for those days.

016 Hollywood in the Heartland (Prison)

Hollywood in the Heartland (Prison)

Mighty hot.  Cache was put back in place today by the CO.  Probably should have saved this cache for later in the streak but this was the last of the caches placed in here in December.  I saw Bike and Hike seeking "Does it stand alone?" as I drove by this evening.

I have been thinking about it the last few days.  I have picked out for October 23 if my streak makes it to 100 days.


017 Get Ready

As I approached I hoped the cache would the type it is versus another type.  Blends well.
