Sorry I missed out. Stupid family crap kept me at home till early afternoon. Hopefully, I can make it on the next tour!
For the record, I have never done, and never will do cut and paste logs. But KUDOS to those who do! Especially when done on caches found during a tour. 🙂
“Geocaching Express Logger” isn’t exactly cut and paste, but will look that way without a little creativity. It is hard to do a 40 or 50 cache day using your PDA and remember meaningful things about each cache visited.
Case in point was my last outing where I did like 15 caches that had walk in the park in the title. Now keep those sorted out in your head. 😆

Just say NO to PUZZLES04/19/2009 at 8:20 pm #1906125With GC.COM now getting rid of the Additional Logging Requirements, I wonder if Mystery Caches will be next. I think that would Make Benny Happy!!!! Even though, he has a few puzzles out himself!!!!

Ummm, nope, not gonna happen.
04/20/2009 at 1:31 pm #1906127Thanks to all those who hid all the great caches down in the valley and to Marc and Benny for showing me around. There were a lot of awesome puzzles that I had solved that it was good to get out and find. It was a beautiful day to spend outside geocaching, and I really enjoyed the company. I even managed to get my first (minor) sunburn of the year. Had an awesome sandwich at a Pizza King in Appleton. I am not sure if that place is on the recommended places to eat list, but it should be…yum.
It was a long day for me, I left home at 4:50 (Eastern time), arrived in Freedom and found the first day of the cache at 7:14 (Eastern). I did four caches before meeting up with Marc and Benny at 8 (Eastern) and caching the rest of the day. I found my last cache of the day in Little Chute at 8:34 (Eastern) and pulled into my driveway at 11PM (eastern). I had originally planned on trying to hit a couple of night caches in Marinette on my way home, but I was so wiped from being in the sun I decided to head straight home after parting ways with Marc and Benny.
The original plan for this trip was for Lynn and I to come down on Saturday to work on finding some of the puzzles I had solved and attend the CITO event. We are in the process of looking for a new house right now, and we ended up having an appointment to look at a couple of houses on Saturday, so we had to change those plans. Lynn was unable to go on Friday, so she told me I could head down on my own. I contacted Marc at the last minute, so I was very happy that he was able to tag along and get a hold of Benny as well. The best part is that Saturday turned out to be a great day too. We found a house that we really like, and got to do some caching over to Iron Mountain and Crystal Falls in the beautiful weather.
04/20/2009 at 1:36 pm #1906128Oh yeah, I forgot. I also managed to get a first to find while down there Friday. We were going to one of Marc’s puzzle caches. As we were walking down a hill I noticed a container hidden up under a lookout, but the coordinates still said we were over 100 feet away. With that I proceeded to give Marc crap about his coordinates. He told me that it was not the cache, but I found it said “geocache” on the side. We signed the logbook inside the container, which I believe said that it was hidden on April 7th. Obviously it was not published because it was too close to Marc’s hide, but I thought it was awesome that I got a FTF on an unpublished cache down in the valley. It was one of many highlights of the day.
04/20/2009 at 2:41 pm #1906129I’ll bet that’s not the first cache attempted to be published at that lookout, nor will it be the last.

It’s not what I say, but what you hear me say, that counts.
Or, to put it another way. It’s not how I run my Puzzle Tours, it’s how you think I do.
Brian, of B-squared is logging his caches today. You can see them on the recent logs page.
He had all of them solved on his own, except for two. One was zoesbrother morse code, which Benny and I had hunted a couple of times without success. Well, with a hint from the owner, we were bound and determined to find it. Brian along for a free one here.
The other was my own puzzle – Car Repairs. Gave it to him as a freebie at the end of the day.
Otherwise, I was the driver, to get him to ground zero. After that he was on his own. Benny and I would give him a hint if he got stuck.
So ……..

I tracked down the owner, a student in Oshkosh, and asked if he would like me to move my puzzle so he could fit his in. He responded, saying not to bother.
Well, there goes a strange FTF…………

04/23/2009 at 8:16 pm #1906133Well, another semi-invasion planned for tomorrow, this time to (north) Mathatopia. We are nearing the 2,000 find mark and wanted to include CJ in it, which limits the caches we can pick for the milestone since he is only 18 months old and I don’t want to carry him up any of the extremely large hills in Marquette.
We finally decided that we are going to try to make Pirate Pete’s Plunder our milestone and take CJ aka The Mighty CJB on his first trip to a zoo. Hopefully the weather will be as nice as they are calling for and we will be able to find it.
04/23/2009 at 8:45 pm #1906134That’s a fun one. If you don’t have it, don’t forget the webcam that’s actually inside the zoo.
