Austin Day 1

                    

December 26 - 28, 2014

I went with my Uncle Bob (grampa bob 14) on a 3 day trip down to Central Texas for a special trip for him to get some challenge caches. We went and got the oldest cache in Central Texas (Cen Tex) and then headed to the Alamo in San Antonio for the caches there and challenges, then on to Austin where we would spend the next day getting specific caches needed to fill in his 81 grid. Along the way down, we tried to stop in each county so we could get some of the Texas counties filled up with red on the geo map!

It was a pretty view from the top... over 200 steps to get to the top. There is my car down there! We both had never had a particular cache... a web cam cache so we made a special trip to get it and went to the Alamo. Then we did the neatest WhereIGo cache that took us along the outside of the "ORGINIAL" walls.
