GC2G3C0 Cotton Bowl Cache 
#1521: 5 oktober 2010
@1135
We had planned for a day at the fair. Fortunately I looked online a few minutes before we left the hotel, and spotted this "new kid on the block". I of course forgot to write down any data, so once inside the park I had to go online (for us, being from the Netherlands, that means INTERnational datacharges), to pick up the numbers we needed.
And indeed, we found the container. Fortunately we were trying harder because we had the possibility for a first to find. If that would not have been the case I would have given up. Your coordinates are quite off.
Superb break of a good day at the fair.

had keys. To all gates around. We were guided through the gates, untill we were almost on top of the cache.
We explained the game to the key-guy. He seemed to understand and I do not think he will remove the container.

wow and wow and wow some more. Fortunately we had some great guidance: jnco_hippie was showing us the way all the way through all the different channels. We would have given up after the first 15 minutes or so. I wanted to go "on top", if I had persisted, we would probably have broken all 18 legs we were carrying (7 cachers + 1 dog -> all of whom we will cherish from now on). Fortunately jnco_hippie insisted on staying low, and after running off, all we poor flatlanders could do was follow their dust. We were glad that HappyCatahoula and MagicManME are in the same terrible shape we are... At least we had an excuse to rest a couple of times along the way.
I applaud HappyCatahoula and MagicManME and ourselfs for pushing on. We finally got where we wanted to go, and than walked a bit more. Crazy as always. Knackered and tired from the walk, we walked some more. Up into the cave.
Where coolness and some R&R awaited us.
After everybody grabbed their breath, we got the cache down, signed the log, released our friendship coin stonefly and went back.
It took us 40 minutes getting up and 30 minutes plus a sprained wrist to get down...
TFTC!
And a special thanks to our new friends for dragging us along! Aubrey and Jennifer and Stephen: thanks very much! Marla and Mike: superb caching partners! Kyra: do start listening when people talk to you :)

we wanted to go to big bend park. I think we'll stay here. Gorgeous place. The ducks welcomed us from the buttom of their hearts.
TFTC!

hopping a fence.... yeah right. That's difficult out here! We ended up walking another football field before we found a piece of fence we could squeeze ourselves through.
silence is golden! My ears hurt from all this silence.

the no trespassing sign seemed like bummer. Fortunately the GPS showed us right.
