Thanks. I had every intention of making that event my 500th find. I was at #483 when I started out Saturday morning, so I made a list of 20 caches to hit in order on the way to the event. Even had an FTF along the way (caught a break when Sweetlife didn’t load that cache into his GPS as his PQ was a day older than mine). Of course, I had a few DNF’s along the way which is why I listed 20 caches. But when I was at 498, I ran into a string of a few more DNF’s including a certain tree hanging over the guardrail that I thought was a 1.5 and couldn’t find and others have.
Finally made a find to get me at 499 and made it to the event, albeit an hour late.
I wish I knew the others at the event had milestones also I could have said congrats to them in person.
Great event and I’ll be back next year.
