Ft. Tuthill, Geocaching and Antelope


Here we are

Antelope, in the distant

Stage 2 of our 2nd Cache of the day

Another fun day in Arizona! Today we headed for Ft. Tuthill, just south of Flagstaff. We had two Caches in mind we were searching for. We found the first one after walking 1/4 mile. The second cache was a multi-cache (my personal favorite). This multi-cache consisted of 3 finds. The 2nd stage is the photo above...a small metal heart with the coordinates engraved on it. The 3rd stage was the ammo can (the find).
After leaving Ft. Tuthill, we opted for a Forest Road east of I-17, which took us on a great road through tons of Ponderosa Pine. We happened upon TWO Pronghorn Antelope....we were not able to get a good photo...but with our binoculars we definitely got a good look at them. They were beautiful! A male and a female...the male had horns, and amazing coloring. What gorgeous animals! That alone made today entirely worthwhile!
But...onward to the last cache of the day. We found it, no problem. Signed the log book, then headed for home.
Work tomorrow for both of us. Schedules got rearranged again....so we only got 2 days this week.
