While I may have come across this is a easy series it is farthest from the truth. I said we took a First Aid kit and we used it. Cell service is not reliable. You are in the middle of no where and I do mean this. Do not try doing this series at night unless you are experienced at being out here as there are many washes and a lot of these caches are not drive up. They require some hiking. There are desert critters out here as I have shown. Take lots of water and some food with you. If you break down out here it could be a while before you get help.<\/p>\n<p>I can say this that the series was a lot of fun but at the same time some very tough caches.<\/p>\n<p>As I said in my post we wanted to be on pavement at dark as we don`t consider ourselves experienced enough for some of the challenges we came across during daylight to do these at night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today we start the journey back.
