Round Rock, TX Geo Trip - June 25-26, 2022

June 25, 2022 - We left early on Friday to go to the Round Rock / Austin area to get challenges, earthcaches, a where-i-go and virtuals. It was incredibly hot for this time of year with the heat getting to me on the second day and I called it quits at noon as I was weak and worn out already. One cache which I did not get any pictures was the where-i-go in an elete shopping center... it was based on a murder and you had to go investagate various suspects This took us to a bunch of store fronts in which the module would then continue the adventure. Finally after an hour and a half we nabbed the suspect but he didn't have the pearls on him. We had to go to a final location to hunt for the ditched goods. It was in a woody area next to the interstate side road and exit from the mall. Very busy. We finally located the cache and signed the log. One of the longest caches I ever participated in but it was fun. Click on any photo to see an enlarged version.

Limestone is everywhere down here. Grampa Bob 14 next to the proof we were there.	Then me, ddvdude.	There were two caches on a mountain that we climbed. It had stairs but the handrails were so hot you couldn't touch them. Look at the rich houses on the Colorado River.

The marker	The next day we were getting challenges and heading back home	There was a hole in a tree about a foot above my head and a lot of noise coming out of it.

So I held up the phone and took a few pictures to see what was going on!	Just a new chick telling us this was private property and to scram!
