Taz & Joy Bear This was a sad day for me. Joy Bear and I have traveled for ~5,000 miles since 10-9-10. This has been a crazy road trip but all good things must come to an end. I hope Joy Bear gets to see many more places over the years.
This is Taz and Joy Bear saying good bye. Taz is sad to see Joy go but understands.
The other sad note is I have tried to contact the owner to see if they still wanted it to make it back to the Bay area of Cali, no response. I do hope all is well but hopefully Joy Bear w

Crossing the new by-pass bridge When on the way home last night I tried to get this photo. Its not very good but hey, not only was Joy Bear one of the last ones to cross over the Hoover Dam Road, Joy was also one of the first to cross over the bypass bridge!

Rio Puerco Bridge It was scary crossing this bridge when a semi-truck was coming the other direction!

Rio Puerco Bridge, NM This bridge is just east of Albuquerque. In my younger days we used to travel across this bridge. I am glad to see they have kept it up even if its not in use anymore.

Moriarity, NM Grabbing a cache before heading down the road. Unfortunately this was going to be a fast trip and mostly at night so I took some pictures and grabbed some caches while I could. I think Joy Bear is about ready to move on to another cacher now.

Just before heading out of Carlsbad Well once again I got a call saying you need to be back in Vegas tonight. Wow......on the road again! But at least this time I get to head home!

Just out side of Carlsbad Yes thats Carlsbad, NM Last cache of the day, On the way down here we went through a wind storm that reportedly had speeds of up to 90 mph! Tomorrow will be mainly work but who knows I might be able to do some night caching along the river here. This is a neat town that has a great Christmas on the river display. Also the Carlsbad Caverns are near by but we won't have time to visit before heading back. I have been away from home for too long. I hope to be heading back towards Vegas on Wednesday.

Near willard, NM This area has had many films done over the years. This cache is a part of a movie series of caches. I have picked some of these up over the last year and decided to pick this one out. Since this near by barn was so fitting Joy Bear got a photo. I wish it had come out better!

Scary House! Well since its that time of year I made a stop by the scary house in Estancia. Rumors are that it is haunted!

At the airport in Idaho Falls Yes Joy Bear and I hopped a plane back to Albuquerque. Back on the road again in the morning. I am finally starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel and we should start heading back west around Wednesday. I hope Joy Bear has had as much fun as I have!

The Cabin Well we hiked into the "Coffee Pot" area of the Snake River today. This was our only find after working the first part of the day. Joy Bear doesn't seem to care for the animals on the walls but otherwise this place has been comfy for the last few days. We take off back traveling tomorrow. More to follow
