Trips, Trips, and more Trips

Bellingham Day trip

Susan and I did a quick day trip thru Ferndale and Bellingham, Washington.
We did 3 Adventure Labs, and 10 caches, one of which was a challenge cache.




This Anchor Memorial at Zuanich Point Park was placed here to honor the Fisherman who went to sea and did not return. It was brought to the area sometime in the early 1800's by Bellinghams first English Explorers 











This pile of rocks is an art piece at the front of someone's house. And yup it has a cache in it.

Found a cache on a Rainbow colored Bridge.




 This is "The Pickett House". It has the distinction of being the oldest building still standing in Bellingham. 

Bike Caching

I have started planning a bike trip in Myra Canyon up near Kelowna. It will be about 28 to 35km return trip.
Lots of caches along the way as well as some awesome scenery, trestles, bridges and tunnels.

VEGAS BABY!!

We just booked a trip to Las Vegas for the end of June, so of course, I have already started planning a list of cool caches to find.
The caches we plan on getting will be in 4 different areas. 
The Las Vegas Strip and Fremont Street



As you can see, I have already found several along the strip, but Susan has not, and a lot of these caches I have found are virtual caches.


NOTE: The highlighted or underlined words in my blog can be clicked on as they are links to other cool stuff!! Also if you click on any of the pictures they become bigger!!!













Desert Caches

This area is "7 Magic Mountains" which is an art installation in the middle of the dessert, built with large painted boulders. I have been there a couple of times already on past trips.
We will also go into the town of Goodsprings, Nevada. 

Goodsprings is the home of the Pioneer Saloon, considered to be one of the oldest saloons in Nevada (over 100 years old). The saloon features a bullet hole on the side of the building and a coroner's letter describing how it was created. The saloon is said by many to be haunted by the victim's ghost.


We will also go thru the "Red Rock Canyon" which is located west of Las Vegas.

I have been there a couple of times also. The first time I visited there was in February of 2019 and it had snowed in Vegas for the first time in 20 years, and the Canyon loop was closed.






The Red Rock Canyon is such a picturesque place. Some awesome scenery and history.







Nevada/ Colorado Border


we will also head over to Hoover Dam and cross the border into Arizona so Susan can get one cache there.(I already got it)




I am also planning on building an Adventure Lab in Vegas, while I am there. (some of it, I can build from home) The cool thing with Virtual caches and adventure labs is there is no physical cache placed, so there is nothing to maintain. Although I wouldn't mind traveling back and forth to Vegas when needed. lol
But I do that anyway already!!




Well that's it for this month!!
Keep on caching!!
