The V-Strom Cache has been resurrected see here for details;
In a nutshell the Strom Cache is just a excuse to ride and meet other riders. It is a small box with a 'token' and notebook that is handed off from rider to rider.
The first version of the Strom Cache was started by a guy on the east coast nick-named Po-Sloke. I picked it up in Georgia and brought it across 10 states to Utah, from there it went all across the North, Central, and South America, from Deadhorse Alaska to Terra Del Fuego. An Aussie named Traveling Strom, aka Richard carried it the farthest distance.
Then it got handed to a rider that.......lost it. It was sad to see it die.
So... another rider named Andreas aka Andreas, (here in Utah) has started a new Strom Cache. Andreas handed it to Satch, and Satch handed it to me in Jordan, Utah.
I'll take it to St. George, Utah to give it to Med-Plt.
Satch, Me, Andreas.
On my way.
I pass the Thistle Mud Slide.
In April 1983 this mudslide dammed up the Spanish Fork River and resulted in the flooding of the town Thistle. State and Fed agencies claim this was the most expensive mudslide in US history.
The Manti Temple
Used car lot.
And the hand off in St George. Med-Plt, and I meet at the Golden Arches and make the exchange.
The Cache departs for Las Vegas, Nevada.
I depart to my lodging for the night, and a relaxing (and warming) soak in the hot tub. Very nice after a cold day of riding!
Friday, on my way home. I go through Zion National Park.
Going up Cleavage Canyon.
And now in Zion Canyon.
I hike up to Weeping Rock.
Not a very good picture of Weeping Rock, sorry.
On my way again up Zion Canyon.
Back on the main road through Zion NP.
And then the rain started so I put the camera away.
Nice ride, very nice to get the Cache going again, Good Job Andreas!!
740 mile ride in cold and rain...not the best conditions, but better than no ride at all!

Depressing that someone could lose it. But there are plenty of legitimate reasons. It is nice to see a new one up and moving now.
It was nice that you could be a part and get out to enjoy some time on the roads!
Lori, you are kinder than I am. The problem is we don't know who lost it, otherwise we could have just got it back and carried on. Oh well..
It's getting chilly here, I hope you are riding more than I am! :)
