Well Kirk, this is where I drop you off, ironically in the Millennium Falcon. I have requested an away team to come find you. I hope you have enjoyed our journey together and all the stops along the way. I wish you the best on your mission to boldly go where no man has gone before. If you wish you follow me, I can be reached at Skywalker1640. May the force be with you…????

From its signature swimming pool to its retractable roof, Chase Field has become one of the game's most recognizable landmarks.

Stopping by an old warehouse in downtown Phoenix where the entire surface is covered with highway signs. Signs like “Do Not Pass,” “Reduced Speed Ahead,” and “Keep Right Except to Pass.” There are more than 500 of them. You will notice that integrated into the signs are the numbers 1912 and 2012, denoting Arizona’s 100 years of statehood. ???? Log image uploaded from Geocaching® app

Peoria Sports Complex is located in the heart of Peoria's P83 Entertainment District. The city's crown jewel facility is shared by the San Diego Padres and Seattle Mariners for baseball Spring Training. The stadium's burnished reputation for the best variety of food and craft beer is well-deserved and makes an afternoon at the ballpark enjoyable for fans of all ages. ??

The USS Arizona was a U.S. Navy battleship launched in 1915. Her namesake is the 48th state admitted to the union. The ship was part of the Pacific Fleet anchored in Pearl Harbor when the Japanese attacked on December 7, 1941. 1,177 crewmembers died in the explosion. The wreck is now honored at the USS Arizona Memorial in Hawaii. The ship’s mast and 16,000 pound anchor were salvaged and are on display in Wesley Bolin Plaza in Phoenix. ??

Welcome to the Arizona State Capitol Building in Phoenix. Arizona became a state in 1912. The building is made from materials indigenous to Arizona, including malapai, granite, and the copper dome. The design is optimized for the desert climate, with thick masonry walls that insulate the interior and round bullseye clerestory windows to let heat out of the legislative chambers. On top is a weather vane similar to the Winged Victory of Samothrace. ?? Log image uploaded from Geocaching® app

Happy Veterans Day to all that served!! ????
Welcome to Arizona and the Anthem Veterans Memorial. This is a special memorial representing 5 pillars descending in height with each representing an arm of the U.S. military, the monument's shadows will align at precisely the right angles to form the great seal of the U.S for one minute. This isn't just any day or hour: it was designed to do this at 11:11 every November 11th, or Veteran's Day. ?? Log image uploaded from Geocaching® app

Stopped at the Salt Flats in Utah on my way to Salt Lake City. The salt flats are a remnant of the Pleistocene Lake Bonneville, which dried up. The lake was huge, filling much of the Great Basin. As the water continued to evaporate, salt deposits were left in many areas. It is an absolutely beautiful sight! ?? Log image uploaded from Geocaching® app

This cache says Welcome to Twin Falls but it should say, Goodbye from Twin Falls as today is my last day here on my trip. Tomorrow, I drive down to Salt Lake City to take a flight to Phoenix, Arizona so my travels can continue! In the meantime, I will just continue to chase rainbows. ??

In Boise, one of the most iconic buildings is the Idaho State Capitol building. Idaho officially became a state in 1890 and Boise has been the capital of Idaho since 1864, after it was transferred from Lewiston. The Idaho State Capitol Building began construction more than 50 years later, in 1905, and the building was not completed until 1920. ??

Welcome to Nevada!!!!!!!!!
I didn’t realize from where I was staying that Nevada was only just over a half hour away so I thought today was a great opportunity to head down to the Nevada border to get a new souvenir and grab some caches in Jackpot!

This might be the biggest cache container I have ever found!!! Have you ever seen one bigger? I think that NASA could probably see this from space. Fun find in the desert on the Southern border of Idaho.
