Touch Em All

The Continental Divide-New Mexico at I-40: I have been to the Continental Divide in Wyoming and Colorado before visiting here. We stopped at GZ and also visited some other nearby locations. We loved the view from across the freeway on the Westbound side quite a bit. Answers sent.

Piedra Negra (Black rock): Decided to stop and stretch our legs (on a 14-state road trip from WI to CA) to explore the nearby petroglyphs. They are very cool and I recommend folks take to time to explore the area. After we hiked up and down the mountain in 94 degrees, we stopped here for just a bit more rock scrambling and the cache. Lost my pen along the way somewhere so couldn’t sign the log. Time to get back on the road.

Route 66 Eastbound Maildrop: Quick little letterbox off Rt 66 in New Mexico. I love the color of the ground here. It’s also softer than I expected. Found the cache pretty quick and signed with my Penguin stamp. Heading to Holbrook, Az tonight then back to San Diego. This adventure started on Thursday in Superior, Wi. Almost home. Looks like I’m following Texas Libra. I signed a logbook in Amarillo, TX after them.

Meet Ya Halfway: Of course while we were here grabbing pictures and the virtual, we wanted to grab the traditional as well. Went to GZ but was stumped. Looked at the hint and found nothing resembling it. Looked in the nearby garden for something that might be associated with the hint. Nothing. I then gave up and decided to do some shopping. Met Lilyana (I think that was her name) and she was super sweet. I asked her about the cache and she said it used to be in a well but that it broke and was gone now. She called the CO and we went out to the garden to look again. I ignored the hint and this time I found it! Nothing but a bunch of logs in it so added my signature penguin. Ms Lilyana told me that the previous store owner was the inspiration for Flo in Disney Pixar’s movie “Cars”. This was such a nice visit. TFTC!
