Summer is almost here and you know what that means, Geo-Caching Road Trip!
Jo.Cap and I plan all of our trips based on the caches we want to find. We'd think nothing of turning a 3 hour trip into a 500 mile 8 hour gallivant of finding caches to complete a challenge, checking off new counties and states, find a gadget cache, earthcache or cool virtual.
Last year we took a long road-trip. When we looked at the locations, we noticed they produced a set of coordinates. Can you decipher the coordinate and find the small & and lock I hid at them?
Here's the route we took. Perhaps it could have been a little more optimal, but you know how it goes with some of those challenges, you need to find things in a specific order.
We left New Jersey and made our first stop in a small town in Butler County, Pennsylvania. - N40° 41.797 W080° 00.629

From Florida, we headed west to Lamb County in Texas, - N34 13.535 W102 24.655
Well, since we're already in Texas, we should head over to Ellis ... or is it Johnson County and check out the town that's there. - N32 25.766 W97 6.416
Apparently, we made a wrong turn on to the interstate, and found ourselves back in Monmouth County. - N40 12.013 W74 02.017

It was pretty hot in Louisiana, so we headed to a lake in Alaska to cool off. - N57 34.752 W152 13.938
Turns out, it was a little too chilly for us up there, so we headed to Maricopa County, Arizona, where let me tell you, it was HOT! - N 33 35.968W 112 16.583
Wow, that's a lot of driving. I think it time we just head home - N 43 38.266 W 94 05.009
