Today Butcherknife and I went to Texarkana to cache with the Cachemates.
We started exchanging text messages as we got near the Red River, and met at the Waffle House for coffee and a planning session.
To keep our cache searches in order we had both printed off nearly the same map. I wish I could say at this time that Great minds work alike, but I am the rookie in this and everyone knows about the "radarman" and his legendary "homeing in" skills !
The new Nix Creek series reallly stands out when you zoom Google Earth in on Texarkana. The series makes a long sinuous line down the Nix Creek trail system.
The trail is open to bicycles and would be well cached by bike.
This is a wide, smooth, fresh, asphalt trail with caches well spaced along it to keep the cachers intrest level high.
A lot of work and planning went into this series and it is a pleasure to cache it.
Container placement and type are excelent, and clever hides accent nearly ever one.
The cache contents are great, and they are all clean and dry.
This is a quality series in every aspect.
We had no bicycles with us today, so we parked a vehicle at each end of the series and walked through.
The cache count for the day was not high, but we stayed busy all day, except for a break for lunch. It is just a short drive to stateline boulevard and all those good restaurants.
A beautiful "spring like" day, great friends, and good caches.
The day on Nix creek Trail was a good one !
Butcherknife and I highly recomend the Nix Creek Trail series.
