Need your helps…

[The Lil Otter]

I just heard sad news that “PA” (Jack) of PaMaHam had a stroke this past spring and I’m hoping to keep the spirit of geocaching alive for him and his wife.. Some might remember meeting “PA” at the last picnic.. “Ma” is not good with the GPS and is hoping that any cachers near or visiting the Nekoosa (near WI Rapids) area could buddy up with him to head to a few caches.. also if you could email PaMaHam (through geocaching.com) giving a listing of geocaches that can be enjoyable for him.. as a help.. here’s my listings that I sent to “Ma” that I know he’s not visited yet (I’ve taylored some to meet his special needs at this time for him to qualify)

Thank you guys for any helps you can offer..

Would be happy to assist as well. Lil Otter mentioned one of her caches, “Divided Waters” which happens to be in West Bend and is less than one mile from my house. So, if you come to West Bend….I have a ton of caches planted here and I can make accommodations such as Lil otter has with taking a picture at ground zero. You can e-mail me for more info on what are the easier caches. Happy Hunting! Tami

I will e-mail them to see when they most likely will come to West Bend. Then, we can take it from there.
