Man oh man, how we wish we’d had the laptop along on this trip! Might have changed our caching plans for yesterday if we had. We even had the required equipment along.

Congratulations to the master. I guess Trekkin’ will always have to follow in zuma’s footsteps here. We look forward to doing this series ourselves before the snow is gone.

So when 6 new caches come out in your town and you immediately dart out go go find them…. sure, you might expect to see someone out there.. someone from the same town, someone who’s as crazy as you… but who do I run into tonight in Wausau? ZUMA! KSPUD!

I stand in awe. Those guys are truly worthy! I bow before the masters.

(BTW… those guys both meet the aforementioned “as crazy as me” criteria.

Nonetheless I enjoyed meeting you guys on the trail for the first time. Thanks for stealing my FTFs tonight. Hopefully someday I’ll be driving through EauClaire and be able to return the favor 😛 But what can I say… you guys earned them! Nice job! I bow before the masters 😉

Great to meet you on the trails too, and I enjoyed the little Wausau FTF party we had at Ringle.

But I have to tip my hat to KSpud on making the FTF by sheer determination on the second one, the Long and Winding Road. Way to go Karl!

But yeah, the whole thing was a “bit” crazy. We had cached all weekend in the eastern part of the state, having started before sunup on Sunday, and had just dropped off Seth in Stevens Point and were headed towards Eau Claire on 29 when the caches were published. We already had had a long day and lots of fun, so there really was no need to go get any more.

Anyway, I got the alert, looked at em, and said, Hey Karl, ya wanna go get a FTF? And of course he said “Sure.” So we went and got the first one, which was a piece of cake. We should have stopped right there, but after a series of events that included squad cars, wrong choices, wrong turns, and wrong paths, Karl bushing his way thru the Ringle Marsh at night, Karl ended up with the FTF. Woot.

Anyway, we had fun, and I look forward to attending more FTF parties in the Wausau area in the future.

Why were these YOUR FTFs? 😕

And why do you keep telling my you’re not an FTF hound? 🙂

And I though you were done for the Winter?!? 😉

I think it has to do with his excitement over a certain team being back. I know you share his excitement.

We all know that zuma never sleeps.

Not true…zuma sleeps, just not right now.

I looked at that dern puzzle cache…..man, there is no way I am smart enough to do all that calculating. whoever gets the ftf on that one, deserves it.
