Completed ET Highway Geocaches!

 After braving yesterday's blizzard, we arose to 24 degrees and light snow and ice on the ground.  The roads were clear.  We got fuel and did some grocery shopping.  It looked like geocaching would not be possible today because of the snow.  After a little discussing, we decided to drive 70 miles to where we left off and see how it looked.  After crossing the mountains, it was a whole new world.  Sunny skies, no snow and 40 to 56 degrees.  We dug in to do some serious caching.  

Around 4:30 we pulled into warm springs and found the last geocache that is on ET Highway and is part of the ET Power Trail.  #833.  We cached the whole highway from #1 to #833 and found every cache over the last 12 days.  In addition, we followed a lot of side trails.  We had to replace a lot of containers and logs because a lot of the caches were in bad shape.

The ET Power Train continues on and on until you reach #2000. We will continue that tomorrow.

Our trailer this morning

Cache at the end


That white car is on Hwy 6 at Warm Springs at the end of ET Highway.  ET Highway runs East through that valley and over 3 small mountain ranges.  Warm springs is a ghost resort with a nice swimming pool that is always full of clear, warm water.  It is all fenced off and all the buildings are abandoned.  What a waste.

  1. It must have taken a lot of effort for someone to put that huge rock there just to hide a cache in!!
