Hey All!

I am gearing up for a caching extravaganza — let’s all hope the weather behaves (well, I guess I’ll cache regardless. I actually enjoy caching in the rain.) I’m heading to the cabin in Northern WI. That will be my home base and I’ll go from there. Looks like I’ll be visiting some waterfalls Lil Otter!

What’s everyone else got planned for the holiday weekend?

I’m not much of a planner, but i’d like to be in your shoes this weekend.

My planning usually ends with the decision on which direction to head. North? South? West?

East only goes a mile or so before i’m in Lake Michigan.

Camping out in Iola this weekend. Probably not a whole lot of caching. There are a couple new ones that popped up over the winter that we’ll check out on the Little Wolf River.

Kicking back, watching some racing on Sunday, playing some horseshoes, swilling some brews, searing raw meat, and relaxing!!!

I’m the obnoxious planning type (if I try to be spontaeneous, I usually end up hurting myself!) I’m already planning my trip to Delaware in October!

Cathunter — as several people can confirm, if you were in my shoes, you may very likely end up stuck in somewhere muddy!!!

Does anyone have any suggestions for Not-To-Miss in the Price County area? Base of operations will be just outside Phillips (on a beautiful lake with *apparently* a 6 foot muskie — I’m not setting foot in that water!!)

This weekend will consist of spring cleaning and coing all the stuff I should have been doing the last several weeks. Finally, I am hoping to finish up the cache series I’ve been working on for two months now.

Keep your eyes peeled…

I wish I could claim the island as my own…. it belongs to an all too distant family member who has had it for 30 some years. I have been given squatters rights provided I help to keep the place up.

The lake is part of the Turtle/Flambeau Flowage. The shoreline is 80% state owned, and mostly sand beach. Loons and muskies rule the area. I took the pic last fall after Grousetail’s “Northwoods Breakfast Event Cache” in Arbor Vitae.
It truly is Heaven!

It really is gorgeous. You’re so lucky to have a place like that!!!! That’s my father-in-law’s dream come true right there. Me, I prefer to let someone else own it and I just rent it. Hee hee.

Sounds like a fun weekend for you Bec! (What? You’re not on call??? Yee haw!!)

My niece is going to be over on Saturday. That’s all the plans I have set up so far for this weekend. I think we have rain slated for this area over the weekend, so any geocaching will be spontaneous. I usually just get up one morning and decide to go caching so if the mood hits, I’ll be out!

Oh, Cathunter! That looks so beautiful!! I do know the Flambeau Flowage area. There are some breathtaking spots there. I love being in Northern WI!

I am going highpointing and caching.
Will start tomorrow with caching in New Hampshire.
Saturday its off to the Mass. Highpoint – Mt. Greylock and a series of caches along the way. Should swing over to New York for a cache or two.
Sunday one of the tough highpoints – Rhode Island and Jerimoth Hill – tough because you can only get to it 5 days out of the year. Two caches there but many nearby.
So my weekend is my two passions – highpointing and geocaching – they really do compliment each other.

We will be attending our annual family reunion on West Lake Okoboji in the NW corner of Iowa. Also plan to seek out a couple of geocaches in the area, including two new webcam caches: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=135893 http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=135881
