Wow, we had a new type of geocaching experience tonight! While Kim was driving home from Green Bay to Milwaukee, a MGT&SS old silo cache was published. Kim’s phone alerted her that a cache on the way home was just published near Saukville, so she called me at home and I stayed with her on the phone to navigate from 25 miles away until she reached the cache without the use of a GPS unit. I looked at Google Maps to find and then describe to her the geobeacon, and she had no problem driving to and making the find. She made the find 28 minutes after it was published. Thanks Mr. Greenthumb & Sunshine for a memorable first-of-a-kind caching experience for us!

I remember finding one like that with my wife a number of years ago. It was an HDD cache in Germantown. When it posted, I was stuck at home with two sleeping kids, but my wife happened to be coming home from work in Tosa. I talked her through to the general location from Google maps. When she got there, there were footprints in the snow leading right up to the cache. Luckily they were only the COs footprints. I think that was her first FTF too.
