I brought my GPS out here to see if there were any urban caches in Moscow that I could grab. Turns out there are less than 30 caches in all of Russia, and only a couple in Moscow, neither of which are nearby where I am. Meanwhile, in my absence, a wealth of new caches have appeared in Los Alamos.

When I was in Moscow and Vienna in December, a couple geocaches appeared back home which I couldn't get to until I returned. Once I returned, I decided that it would be mildly humorous to try to get the FTF on every new cache in Los Alamos. The only problem was that there were hardly any new caches appearing during January and February of this year. I think the total was two, and I got them both.

Then, just before I left for this trip that I'm on now, a 4 cache series was let loose but it took me so long to solve the puzzle that I couldn't go after the caches until the day before I left for Moscow and in the meantime someone beat me to it. No FTF there. Now that I'm on the far side of the planet, new caches are arriving almost daily in Los Alamos. I'm quite sure that they'll all be found before I get back. So my quest to FTF all the nearby caches is really running into some major problems. Buh. I hope the trend of new los alamos caches appearing frequently continues, but based on my travelling over the past year, my presensece in the town leads to some kind of '

wow i took an ambien to fall asleep before i started this i post . i it making it very difficukt to read and tyep. and ym head feels very heavy. i guess i should go liedownm as this is porobably borkbork
