Cub Lake

As I close in on my 5,000th find, which I plan to obtain on the return trip from Utah in May of this year, I needed to grab a few caches to be closer to my goal.  Being off on Good Friday and with good weather, I made the drive to Cub Lake of the Natchez Trace State Park in Tennessee.  A new cacher in the area put over 16 on a 4 mile trail.  I did ask if anyone wanted to tag along, posting my plan on three Facebook groups.  There was some interest but in the end, I ended up doing solo.

The hike was tough in some area, fairly easy in others.  Using a Fitbit I did log many flights of stairs (59) and many steps (15,000) with the workout.  I am thankful that I completed this hike in spring weather and not in the heat of July.  I did have one DNF on the trail.  I used my Geo-Mojo to grab the final cache.

At this time, I don't have any plans to return to find the DNF cache.

Trip to Utah

Cacherstalker94 is a student at the University of Tennessee at Martin and this spring semester is in the National Student Exchange program and attending school at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City.

She took her car and I traveled with her in the 1,800 mile journey.  We cached new states of:  Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming and Utah.  We selected easy and interesting caches during the trip. The highlight was grabbing Mingo in Kansas.

Despite being January, the weather too our favor for the most part.  We did deal with snow in Utah.
