Hello from Stoughton, WI!

[Ostermi]

Hey all- Although I have made a few posts, I have never taken the time to introduce myself. My geocaching handle is “Ostermi” (the username I use for just about everything else!) and I am from Stoughton, WI (AKA j&k&kids/ Smashing Ground country). I am still a relative newbie, with just over 430 finds at the time of this post. I have also hidden a few, including what seems to be a hit EC in Pewit’s Nest near Baraboo. Anyways, I look forward to all of the interesting discussions here on the WGA site, and possibly meeting some of you out on the trail 😀

Welcome!

What is a “newbie”, really? You have more finds than I do and I’ve been caching for 2 years now.

I just use the term in comparison to some of the cachers who have been on here for a long time (long being 8-10 years or so). I have been caching for about a year and a half, so it looks like we are roughly in the same boat. Anyways, thanks for the welcome. I hope to find at least one of your geocaches if I am ever in the Eau Claire area.

Hello and welcome to the WGA! I think I’ve seen your name around a time or two. I look forward to running into you at an event.

I noticed your EC at Pewit’s Nest SNA. I held an Event there last summer, since cache placements aren’t allowed. One of Wisconsin’s best kept secrets!
Looking forward to returning to that SNA for the fall colors.

WELCOME! 😀

Thanks for the welcome. I wish I could go to the picnic on Saturday, but we already have tickets for the Badger game in Madison.

So if you are from Stoughton, you must be Norwegian, right? Welcome. My brother and sister-in-law live in Stoughton.

The views expressed here are that of myself only and do not necessarily represent that of the WGA board.

Great to “meet” you here Ostermi. It was back in 2009 when I joined this little group and then started lurking on the forums.

Learned a lot here, some even about geocaching. Please, drop in often and let’s get to know each other a little more.

Nope, not a lick of Norski in me! I am mostly German (I have “Haus” in my last name, so that one is pretty obvious :D) with a decent amount of Swiss. I do however enjoy the Syttende Mai festival here each May. For those of you who aren’t completely surrounded by Norwegians like I am, Syttende Mai is Norway’s Independence Day, and it is BIG in Stoughton. In fact, the only Syttende Mai bigger is in Oslo.

Anyways, thanks for the welcome. I am already thoroughly enjoying reading the forums on this site.

Hi All,

Stoughton Cachers- planning a meet and greet in early March. Want to be involved in the planning? If so, please contact me  soon. May be a good time to place a cache if you are pondering one. 🙂 Hope to hear from you!
