Ladies and gentlemen of the jury … I present to you, an on-time post for the challenge! Let’s hope this becomes normal for me!<\/p>\n

Anyway, this is a theme that will hopefully be a lot of fun.<\/p>\n

My set of five photos is from my geocaching trip out west. Two of us made this trip, covering more than 2,000 miles and nine states in seven days. It was a bit insane, but we found a lot of geocaches (including my 5,000th!) and saw a lot of wild things. It’s amazing how much of a change it is when you go to a different part of the country.<\/p>\n

These photos I am putting up this month are from this trip. It was a lifetime of memories and eventually I will get around to blogging about it and going through all my photos and videos. What a great time and hopefully the five photos I am showing will give a glimpse of this wonderful trip.<\/p>\n

So, let’s get October up and running! Here are my five for the month!<\/p>\n

1. The views

It felt, at times, like we were on another planet.<\/p>\n

2. Many states
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

We saw a couple of spots with multiple states touching … this was the sign to get to one with three states (Nebraska, Colorado, and Kansas). To get to this, it was a couple of dirt roads in a real desolate area. Later in the trip, we hit the four corners marker, too.<\/p>\n

3. Forrest Gump Point
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

So, we were driving. And I look back in the mirror and I was like, this is a very famous spot for photos. We stopped and started to take photos and as I looked, I realized … this is the Forrest Gump scene where he stopped running! What a very cool place!<\/p>\n

4. Mexican Hat
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is another famous formation in Utah. Very cool. Makes you wonder how this happened and stays like this.<\/p>\n

5. Colorado River

Some amazing views on this trip …<\/p>\n

There are my five. I look forward to seeing what everybody else came up with!<\/p>\n
