It was a 5-5-5 kinda day.....

Day 2 of Seattle or Bust Epic Trip had very lofty goals.

First goal--    Host a most excellent event amongst crazy construction at Star Attraction, with leaving a tad past schedule take-off time, and only having some 4-6 hours of sleep after Most Excellent Day 1.

Cat-napping!

Second goal--  Get to Rochester  Minnesota via Davenport Iowa and Readstown Wisconsin before midnight--- preferably by 8pm.

Third goal-- a minimum of 1 "sign-able" cache in afore mentioned states-- with a sub-set goal of 2 caches with 2 different icons per state.

Fourth goal-- and most important--- have a great time while seeing parts of this beautiful Country.

No... we didn't make a wrong turn... This lady stands proud in Dubuque, IA

Happy to report all goals were met-- it was a very long day starting before 7am and ending just before midnight.  Total cache count-- 10.

As for the 5-5-5 part-- we found caches (with log to sign) in 5 states in 1 calendar day, of which we earned 5 icons (traditional, event, virtual, webcam, and Earthcache), all while crossing the "Mighty Mississip" 5 different times.
