Congrats to Muggle B – 400 caches in 5 months to the day. Yeah. So you like those puzzles eh? 1/4 of your caches are puzzles. All coordinated to end on 10/10/10. and you say its not about the numbers. Who are you kidding. At this rate you and seldom|seen will enter a mind meld. You may be exercising your mind and body …. But what about the economy that you are not stimulating. You haven’t bought a GPSr, most of the time you are running around on a bike.
I think your last contribution was buying 12 chicken nuggets to celebrate finding a 12 cache series. Now its time for you to put your geocache orientated
mind to work and create some caches. Go for it !!!10/13/2010 at 8:42 pm #1937383Congratulations, Muggle B! 400 finds with no GPSr is some feat. But it looks like Dad has a bigger challenge for you. How are you going to log the coordinates for a cache hide with no GPSr? At least with any accuracy? Good luck with that one. Hope to meet up with you and your dad on the trails one of these days.
All opinions, comments, and useless drivel I post are mine alone and do not reflect the opinions of the WGA BOD.

10/14/2010 at 2:00 am #1937386A cacher after my own heart (well kind of anyway). I love the 1/4 puzzle portion and many of those are S|S puzzles to boot. I’ve definately enjoyed seeing your logs on many of the caches I’ve adopted. I will also always treasure that priceless moment of seeing you rule out a geobeacon as “thoroughly searched” only to find it there. Caching with you definately gives a different perspective to the “game” and had we been doing the cold / hot game that one night, my hand would have been in flames. Congrats and hope to see many more logs from you and your unique caching method.
Now when placing those caches, let me know and I’ll supply the coordinates. 😉 😆 😉 😆
10/14/2010 at 2:31 am #1937387Big congratulations to a cacher who is not afraid to play the game his own way. I’ve tried a few w/o but would find it difficult to do it that way all the time.

10/14/2010 at 2:49 am #1937388That’s awesome 400 caches without gps. Congrats!
10/14/2010 at 4:20 pm #1937389Congratulations on an impressive milestone. We’ve found one or two without the GPSr, but 400? Just shows that technology isn’t the be-all and end-all!
As for placing ’em…..two words. Letterbox hybrids. Some friend can give you starting coords and then you can do your magic!
Again, congrats! 😉

We’re thinking that Muggle B uses technology… Just a different kind, like the eye in the sky. But 400 receiverless finds–Wow! Congrats!
10/15/2010 at 4:27 am #1937391Thankx everyone for your words of congrats, ive been having the time of my life running around looking for these things, and not getting sick of it at all, and still no desire to get a GPS, it would almost feel like cheating if I did.
But I am getting an itch to place some here, and as geocaching rules state, i must use a GPS to get my starting cords, ill just have to borrow a friend/dad sometime.
And yes I use technology, just no GPS, I actually read lots of logs searching for underlying hints, look at google maps and use the street view if possible. Lots of research into each cache before I go and get it, but its all paperless, just pics with my camera of the map screen. Mostly its me analyzing my surroundings and comparing to the overhead view of the map, surprisingly you can see individual trees and 4wheeler trails from satellite.
Anybody have any recommendations or challenges for good caches in the fox valley or surrounding area? Or is there any compass required caches around?
thankx again,
Brian10/15/2010 at 1:47 pm #1937392Congrats on the milestones and doing it your own unique way! I’d say it’s time to hide a few too; heck, you don’t have to be all that accurate. Coordinates can have some “fuzziness” around here at times; just make ’em all ammo cans. 😉
10/15/2010 at 2:30 pm #1937393WTG! I agree! Hide some up in the Valley! Your birds eye hides would be closer than some COs hides that USE a GPS! (We won’t mention any names, but I hear you can use a cell phone for coordinates that get you within .1 mile of accuracy!) 😀
10/15/2010 at 2:42 pm #1937394Congrats on the big naked 400! And we’ve now got our alerts set up so we vie for FTF on the FMBC (First MuggleB Cache)!
Keep On Mugglin’! 😀 😀
10/15/2010 at 3:08 pm #1937395Congrats on the milestone and keeping an insane puzzle ratio going 🙂
10/16/2010 at 2:37 pm #1937396An amazing job…congratulations 😀
