August 16, 2015 - Geocaching around Ogallala

Started geocaching 6:30 a.m. Mountain Time in Ogallala
and found a few before church.




A marker for the old Lincoln Highway


Some the plaques at the corner of Colorado and Nebraska





The monument for the Colorado Nebraska corner
where the panhandle goes west over Colorado





A historical sod house that was used until the 1980s.
The walls are two feet thick.


But they did have modern appliances.


Another sod house.






This boot kind of stuck out from all the cowboy boots on
the fence posts.  It had a geocache in it from a 4-H project.


We met another geocacher looking for the same geocache.

Jerry spotted a snake on the way up to this one.

Jerry is up there somewhere finding the cache.

Geocache stuck in the back of a cracked monument.


Interesting spot north of Lake McConaughy.

Driving south over the dam to get back to Ogallala.


After church we tried to go here for lunch.




The servers ignored us so we left and went to Denny's.

Back at Lake McConaughy.




Lake McConaughy Information and Water Interpretive Center just
south of the dam has a lot of interesting information.



Leaving the visitor center.



Below the dam.

A nice place north of the lake.
It had a geocache on the sign too.

We saw these guys while heading north.



A very primitive rest stop

Nebraska highway traffic jam.



Yield to the herd.





Eustis Tigers - Mary found in a geocache.

Last geocache find before heading home.

August 15, 2015 - Geocaching through Nebraska, Kansas and Colorado

Geocache hidden on a tank in McCook, Nebraska

Mary found this on the tank barrel.
We didn't do it.





Gift shop along highway 6 west of McCook.



Geocache hidden in a picnic shelter in Stratton, Nebraska











Geocache in the country just over the border in Kansas


One of the oldest caches in the world we found in Kansas.
It was placed in 2000 shortly after geocaching started.






Place called Devil's Gap in Kansas.

Geocache at the point where Nebraska,
Kansas and Colorado all meet.



Mary standing in three states at the same time.

Notice the outside temperature.



Memorial site with a geocache in Colorado

This was we found at the first stage of a multi-cache.

This is what we found behind the outhouse.

Storm brewing out West.

Libby's Birthday Supper

New Pizza place in town.
They place large empty cans on the table to hold the pizza up.
Adelyn liked the sound of her voice in the can.


The birthday girl and Jake.
