So, I’m wondering if Seth and Ralph have decided on what cache, and which day, they will cross the Great Number.

We have talked about it quite a bit, but we are both still up in the air a bit. We have pretty much decided we would hit it together.
We are both ahead of what we projected, due in large part to several big days caching together with KSpud and DB in the Twin Cities, but I dont expect to continue that pace.
I am still thinking Sunday, June 14, but that is subject to modification as events unfold.

04/12/2009 at 5:56 am #1905467Yep, we’re still hoping to see this one together, but we will have to see. Changes in both of our lifestyles will make this one a challenge right up to the end. Still working at it though. We’ll keep everyone informed. It would be fun to share it with others.
We’ve had some long discussions about what cache to pick. A long walk seems mandatory, the clunk of an ammo can a bonus, probably a traditional. There are some great candidates, but we seem to lack the full-day walk type of cache in Wisconsin. Suggestions?

TE04/12/2009 at 12:39 pm #1905469For the two of you this one would be a cake walk, but it was a good one for me:

Something like the archived Lone Rock Cache (GC5E52) by Hotdogs_Off_Trail? THB had a find for this one, but not Zuma, as far as I can tell. This one was before our time.
04/12/2009 at 1:23 pm #1905471Well,
It’s a bit of a drive but you could do a very difficult and fun cache AND save our coin from the….ah,er…rattle snakes. I’d tell you that they’re just small snakes but, I guess they’re rather large snakes (hence nobody going to get our coin from the 1st waypoint since August of 2007).
04/12/2009 at 3:11 pm #1905472I noticed that neither one of you has found KVR-HILO, in the Kickapoo Valley Reserve. A multi that takes a couple of hours, and very challenging. Plus a few Wisconsinites could join you or meet you near the end! I hope you chose a Wisconsin cache for your joint milestone effort. I am planning a trip back to the area, just to share the area with family.
And keep in mind that this cache tends to be nominated for COTM right after someone finds it!04/12/2009 at 3:39 pm #1905473KVR-HILO is definitely milestone worthy, plus for Seth, it has the added attraction of being a multi. You guys already know what a gorgeous area the valley is. We’d meet you at the end! Heck, we might even join you and revisit the whole route.
04/13/2009 at 3:27 am #1905474I’ll meet you at the end too but I’ll follow T&B :>
04/14/2009 at 2:08 pm #1905475As I always do when someone is looking for the right cache for a milestone, I’ll suggest Match Head. It’s an ammo can, it’s not a long walk but it will take you quite a while to walk this challenge, it’s been COTM and COTY, and neither of you have done it. Also, if timed just right, you could be the 100th finders!
Just a thought, but either way, an early congrats on #10,000!
PS. I make a great tour guide.
04/21/2009 at 4:06 pm #1905476Here are a couple suggestions:
52-Pickup – WWF #01 & #02 (Copper Falls) – Ack! You have done it already. Still a great milestone cache for others though.
Grandfather Falls – Ice Age Trail – (Shameless Plug) It’s a new cache of mine and a beautiful, and little known, area by Merrill. If you follow the Alternate Route waypoint, you will have a beautiful 2.5 mile hike to the cache (ammo can).
Whatever cache you choose, 10k is a very impressive milestone! Pre-Congratulations!

Ummm……what if I told I might have something of this nature that I’ve been working on for 2 years?
04/21/2009 at 9:37 pm #1905478Hmmm, I have yet to create a tribute cache for either of these guys….
There are some great cache suggestions and I too want to finish KVR-HILO, even though I’ve been to the top of Lovers Leap multiple times.
Have you guys ever done an un-commercialized cave cache? I could definitely convince myself to finally create the ulitmate, Multi, Supersize, Earthcache, Spelunking experience in that same neck of the woods. A cache I have been contemplating since day one, but an idea that always required a little motivation. This could be it…
04/21/2009 at 10:07 pm #1905479Alex,
If they don’t do a cache like that, we would….assuming normal people can access it. Don’t have the specialized skills or equipment
for advanced spelunking, but I’ve always said there can never be too many cave hides. -
