Yep, just one more 1000-cache power trail and you’re there 😆 I’ve enjoyed checking in on the recent logs page and seeing your progress logging your finds. Seems like it is taking longer than finding the caches did 😯

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

Wow, 9000! The stories you could tell… oh, wait, you do! 🙂 Keep on keeping on. 10,000 is in your sights.

So which was your favorite on the E.T. Trail? Perhaps the last one! Congrats on the 9K – that’s a heap of caches. And glad to hear you had some fun chaches on this trip also. The E.T. sounds like something you have to do once just to say you did it and then never again. Keep going – 10K is coming soon!

The views expressed here are that of myself only and do not necessarily represent that of the WGA board.

wow thats cool good job hurry up I have a spot picked out for you commeritive 10000 find that I would like to place for you guys it a fun one but what is 10k finds 1k is silver 5 k is gold 10k is ? emerald green

Bald is Beautiful is all lined up for 10K. That one was actually placed for 7K but because of timing and distance, has not worked out for a milestone to date. However, it looks like it may finally fall into place for this one. Looking forward to the Eagle count and tagging along for this auspicious occasion…

You’ve had some awesome adventures. Congratulations on still another big milestone 😀

We’re looking forward to it, Alex. And Dean, what altitude will yours be this time? Do we have to go out of state, LOL?

Actually, there were a couple favorites along the way, but mostly because of other things in the area where we stopped. It’s hard to isolate one cache when they come every .1 mile, but the ones near Rachel were fun, because we got out to visit the Ale E Inn (three different times, actually). Also, the ones near GC28WY2 were fun, because we got out to do an EarthCache and an older rock climbing cache. We even “skated” on ice across a lake-ish thing there and I got a new life bird, too. We also stopped to log five benchmarks along the route. I know there were many more, but those were the ones we spotted. I stopped keeping track after awhile, but I wrote at least 55 different logs as I worked through them all, which averages to about one per 15-20. All the ones numbered 51 are unique. A handful have photos. Oh yeah, I forgot, there was one cache where those F series jets were doing maneuvers and flying almost literally over our heads. That was cool! They still do sonic booms out there, a sound I haven’t heard since the early 60s.

The final was almost anti-climactic after all that. Lacknothing, you hit the nail on the head, a one time experience with no desire to repeat it! I’d go back to Death Valley and Red Rocks in a heartbeat. Beautiful country to explore. Thanks for all the well wishes, we look forward to counting a few Eagles and finally seeking that Tributary in the Valley.

Congrats on 9k guys.

Congrats on the big numbers. Too bad Trekkin’ didn’t go along. Glad you were able to pick up the reins, Gwyn!
