    Bec: all I have around here is space for caches. I plan on dropping 55 sometime soon along Swan Lake road. Great views along that route.
    The park I took the dogs to is almost devoid of caches. Talking to the last finder makes me think the ones I couldn’t find are gone.
    The more I get out, the more good spots I see for caches. Being so remote there are seven or eight of local that are placing caches for each other to find and then someone swoops in from “outside” once in a while.

      It can be frustrating. I replaced one of mine and before anyone found the replacement it was missing again. I remember when it was fresh and new and every find was amazing. I remember my first LPC – took me three visits to that parking lot before I realized that you really could hide a cache right out in the middle of the lot. I was so impressed I went home and found a lightpost to hide a cache in. Sometimes I wonder if it’s worth the effort. Then I get another log from jordan21glena and I feel the amazement of those “lame” hides all over.

      All opinions, comments, and useless drivel I post are mine alone and do not reflect the opinions of the WGA BOD.

      Ah yes, I remember my first LPC. I was killing time in Jackson Hole, WY and I think I’d found less than 10 caches at the time. These other newbie geocachers showed up at the same time and we searched the parking lot together for several t minutes before one lifted the skirt. I was so impressed! It was actually a cool experience.

        Jim – how the heck do you get to Rosendale these days and how long is that going to last? Sigh…

          We go through 2 weeks on June. Seniors are done next Wednesday. Half day classes and half day of them presenting their Senior Peojectd, whatever that means. They all want to move to WI when I tell them our graduation requirements are not tied to state tests and/or proving competence through written work samples. My lower level class is doing three miniunits this last grading period to get them just enough knowledge to pass a work sole since none of them have passed the state tests (or will pass). Right now we are learning trig.

          This must suck for Highway 26 residents. I feel their pain as my road was once ripped up itself. But it was worth it in the end as it was in terrible shape before the construction.

          raining.  The grass is too wet to cut.  There are 13 more days of school. There are 12 school days ’til middle school promotion.  We still have two orchestra concerts.  There have been 3 visits to the pool since Friday or $62 of the $240 already recouped. I finally made it to 100 finds this year.  The ladies decided not to see Tomorrowland.  I wasted $5 to see Mad Max.   The rhubarb cake I baked was much better the second time around.  A Coopers Hawk has learned the bird feeders are an easy place to find a meal.  I wonder why they do not use their beak in the kill.  It is interesting to watch them squeeze their prey.  The terrorists, rabbits, have multiplied.  We saw two kits yesterday.  The neighbor has her husband pee in a bottle and then pours it around her garden to deter the rabbits.  It doesn’t work, but I think he eats a lot of asparagus.  Did I mention it is raining?

          I see the weather is supposed to be beautiful this weekend……if you like 50 and wet.

          I already have more finds this year (37) than all of last year (36 finds total).

          Yes, last year was a slow year for me – lol.

            No need to watch a soap opera today – not that I would anyway…but this was quite the update. I find the Coopers Hawk quite fascinating! I am guessing it is the asparagus that negates the pee method. I once had a neighbor who did the same with her husband and it worked well. Shoot the rabbits. They are worthless. Yeah on promotions – even if it is middle school. How do you bake a cake the second time? I am intrigued.

              I feel like we should all give a “BBG” type update – so here it goes…

              It is raining here also…sigh…I am having a host mom appreciation soup & salad tonight & am about to make the chocolate mousse which will be for dessert. Planning a day trip to Door County with my students week after next. Has anyone done the Washington Island Cherry Train tour and is it worth it? The day will end with a fish boil (recommendations?). Doing an ATV weekend – so it had better not rain. Our new cat, Becket, snores. I recorded him. Beautiful yellow finches at my feeder this morning – which makes me happy. No Coopers Hawk. I have placed 11 students already for next year – but looking for more host families. My oldest son graduates with his masters from DePaul University in two weeks. I already hate road construction. And lastly, I could not figure out what to do with this cache yesterday – GC4H6F3 – found the towers and thought I understood, but apparently not. That’s all folks.
