Rt 66 geocaching 7/09

Monday 7/09/12
The three of us (kathy, Kim & myself) headed to Flagstaff .  The plan was to do some geocaching
along I-40 towards Williams.  The caches were the Route 66 series.  We saw great views of the old highway that was used in the 20's and 30's. Pretty awesome considering the type of auto's that travel this route.

First stop.  Outside of Winona.  Kathy/Kim

Parked on the side dirt road to get a geocache. Spotted folded $bill and put it in my pockeet.  Later at another cache waiting for the rain to stop I pulled out the bill to check it--WOW it was two $100.00 bills.  See geocaching is a treasure hunt. :).
