First Earthcache, 200th Geocache, and First Benchmark TODAYIn One Day!

What a busy day driving up the mountain on I-70 West to the Easter Seal's Mountain Village Camp where I'm thrilled to be one of the camp nurses this summer. I leave in a week, and have everything to do including a call for Jury Duty!


But today, I wanted to make my 200th Geocaching find a special one, so I could move on to find the new ones arriving daily close to home and the new ventures and geocaches that await me near the camp!  Hubby enjoyed the day with me and very sweetly took my picture!


I also wanted to get my first Benchmark and my first ever Earthcache along with the 200th cache all in one day!!!  It took many hours, but it's a goal accomplished!  Here are some photos to enlighten the story.  Some were found right next to the entrance to camp!!!! Who knew???


The local cops like my hat!
Found my 200th Geocache 
(GL84YA3V)  west of Idaho Springs, CO in a cemetery!
First Benchmark!  (We tried to clean it with some water.)
(AA53650)

Found close by my 200th cache at 8,316 feet above sea level!
(No, I didn't climb all that.)
My first Earthcache! This was one of those mandatory photos to prove you were there.
All Colorado sunsets are unique and beautiful.
I got my answers to the Earthcache questions from these signs.
Hope I passed the test!

Take Care on the Journey,
Your Geocaching friend,
