Geocache Description:

A micro derailment from the UP Rail-trail placed to help cachers interested in Baad Daata's GC4Q1T5 Pepper Mint Challenge.
BRING YOUR OWN PEN OR PENCIL!
....................................................................................................................................................

To accomplish Baad Daata's GC4Q1T5 Pepper Mint Challenge (requiring 25 caches with "Mint" in the title) is a real challenge, given a general lack of mint-related caches. We're comparatively fortunate to have a string of Mint caches set by the League of ID Cachers along the Executive Airport Drive (Via Inspirada) in southwest Henderson. They provide a good start, but to advance beyond those is tough. To spare those interested a lot of research, I attach a list of some comparatively "nearby" Mint caches.

GC5GT68 Carson City Mint, Henderson.....GC5GT6D West Point Mint, Henderson,
GC5GT6K Philadelphia Mint, Henderson....GC5GT93 San Francisco Mint, Henderson,
GC5GT98 Denver Mint, Henderson.......... GC5GT9A New Orleans Mint Henderson,
GC30EHR Mochaccino Mints, Gallup, NM*.GC5HAR7 Mint y Fresh, Henderson,
GC5HARA Spear Mint Gum. Henderson.....GC5HAR9 Double Mint Gum, Henderson,
GC5GT61 Dahlonega Mint, Henderson......GC4XK8X Peppermint Sticks, Sunset&Durango,
GC5GR24 Charlotte Mint, GVPkwy & Horizon GC4Q1T5 Pepper Mint Challenge, Craig Rd,
GC4W80R Peppermint Hot Chocolate, I-15 near 93 turnoff,
GC4RME1 Spearmint, and GC39VAX Doublemint, Near Littlefield, AZ

Apart from the above, I know of 3 in the Reno area, 3 in Palm Springs, 1 near 29 Palms, 1 in Prescott and 2 in Chandler, AZ, 1 in Denver... and several up near Mountain Home, ID... and loads in Florida and a string of Mintally Disableds in Texas... Not an easy challenge to meet here in NV/UT/AZ!!

THAT IS, UNLESS WE GET TO WORK SETTING MINT CACHES!

* Okay, I know Gallup, NM isn't very close, but their Balloon Festival each December can make the trip worthwhile.
