| The Quannah rocket used by the US Army. All of the pictures here are virtual cache locations. | Many caches take you to graveyards and you have to usually answer a question to get credit for the cache. | For instance this one... you get the coordinates where it is but can't answer unless you go there. The question was how did Joel Earl die? |

| In each of the four ends each is a time capsule. One is to be opened in 25 years from 1968, one 50 years after that, the next 100 years, and the last 1,000 years from the date. | One location was an abondoned factory. Nothing really special here...just take a picture... | but I really liked the sign near the gate. <grin> |

| Ok... read the sign... it's pretty ironic when you see the next group of pictures. | There is a field near Amarillo, TX that is called the Cadillac Ranch. | It is a bunch of Cadillac cars buried in the dirt and people from all around come and are allowed to paint them. |
