I have logged one - the Team A&M cache on Stony Pass named The Beginning. Our freind Amy and Michael (AKA BX) placed it a number of years ago.

Man, I'm going to have to start a campaign on here to get you guys caching. Wheeling and caching go hand in hand. Find all sorts of great places hunting down a cache.

You might check into some of BX's caches - he and Amy have meandered around the west, and left quite a few caches here and there.

I am a geocacher as Mark pointed out above. Charter member of geocaching.com (Team A&M). Good fun, 4X4 gets a work out, and you find out about some really cool locations that you would never had found out about otherwise.

Beer is good food. Beer makes you feel the way you ought to feel without beer. Beer is the reason I get up every afternoon. Beer is living proof that God loves us and wants to see us happy. Beer is water that has reached it's full potential.

Yup., actually I was a charter member from the get go, although the last few years Ive slacked on doing caches. I LOST my Garmin in Moab a few weeks ago. So ya, I'm fairly bummed about this, as it was 600 dollars. :doh:
