[teal]What started out as an Independence day campout turned into a 2 day, 1000 mile, 4 State cache run for the rockymtn8ivs.
In the process we visited [url=http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?wp=GC30&Submit6=Go]Mingo[/url], added Texas and Oklahoma to our list of states cached in and mopped up with 7 more pages off of [url=http://www.geocaching.com/bookmarks/view.aspx?guid=29c0e4a6-d66f-420a-b026-d516a281b635]rockymtn8ivs Colorado DeLorme Challenge[/url].[/teal] ๐
