Success! Lori, Pam and I have been trying to complete our Jasmer chart - finding a cache placed in every month since May 2000. Today they climbed a mountain in Utah to find Potter's Pond - the last one! Lori and Pam were brilliant in panning how to find this remote spot.
I looked for another one while they were gone and ended up in the middle of a flock of sheep being driven up the trail by a man on horseback. Got some great photos. The whole area is magnificent. Lots of little wilderness camp spots and people on ATVs and horses.
We then went to an event in the camp ground, met some local cachers (and one we met in Seattle last month!) and had a great lunch. The man organizing the event cooked stew and desserts in big cast iron Dutch ovens. He sat them on some briquets and then put some on the lid. Delicious.
We headed off to Vernal in Eastern Utah, finding more Earthcaches along the way. The fellow in the first hotel was not on the ball and finally decided he didn't have a room with 3 beds. Best Western Antler came through for us. Found 5 more caches in the dark after dinner to get Pam to 100 for the day of te month.
I was sick most of the afternoon. Another GERD attack that might have been caused by the elevation. We were over 9,000 feet twice. It settled down after a few hours and I had poached eggs and toast for dinner.
