No, nerd. The geeks called you a nerd.
Whatever my label, I think that’s pretty cool that they could devise that from scratch and put it to a good use. An automatic shrinky-dink finder.

These sound like the thoughts that go through people’s minds when we ask them to go geocaching with us for the first time, “So the machine tells you where the box is? What’s the point?”
Until we get a chance to get out and try this, it seems a bit dry. But I’m guessing that once a few of these cartridges are out and about, it will add a little extra flair to our discovery of new places.

I spent most of my grey day learning how to build a cartridge. I produced a simple overlay of zones in a city park. http://www.wherigo.com/cartridge/details.aspx?CGUID=c063565e-e5ed-41fb-abd8-81e13928955e

With this new possibility, I may have to get one of those new Garmin’s. I’m still using my yellow eTrex in the field, though; I may go into shock upon first using a Colorado.

We went to see NT:BS on Saturday. The kids and their friends were excited to see it. I’m sure they liked the treasure-finding and action scenes (not to mention the popcorn, candy, and icees), but the history & pseudo-history may have gone over their heads. But I found it fictionally(?) fascinating.
But now I have to wait to see what’s over that next hill (pg. 47).

Thanks for doing all the paperwork that allows the rest of us to run around in the woods.

I’m not a coin guy, but I am a homer. I like this coin. I ordered one.

On Wisconsin!

Do not give paranoid muggles a reason to fear.

Once I found a live .38 shell. I don’t own a .38, so I wasn’t about to remove the contraband and have live ammunition just lying around. I noted the situation on the e-log, and cachers with disposal means took care of it.

I was thinking about that, too. Late this summer, as I drove my step-van (with the 2-55 A/C) through the dry August afternoon, I thought this:

Temp cache/campout, registered-I.D.’ed cachers, with volunteer cooler-babysitters positioned at coords to the answers to puzzle caches – stationed from around lunch to around dinner on a Saturday afternoon. Then cookout and campfire the night away.

This is Wisconsin. The rest of the country probably assumes all of our caches have beer in them.

Only if the Brewers could be as consistent as you.
Hundred more days, huh? You better get started on all those puzzles.

Things that make you go, “hmm?” A different place. The anticipation was strong until the last log I read before leaving on our camping trip. It revealed the mystery. It was still neat.

But speaking of Florence County…

Attention! (Achtung!)

Well thanks a lot for all the nice words.
I feel like I won a contest.

I do like to share the places I know, and the new places I find.

It’s just that some of those places are not near roads.

[2_Stand]

Bookmarked it. We’re gonna camp over by Florence next wknd. Can’t wait to see the Zimmerman cache.

[2_Stand]

Maybe I’m being a smart-butt,…
but couldn’t these individual parks & rec persons just enter their zip at GC once in awhile to make sure everything’s copacetic?

GC collects info, cacher maintains.

Speaking of Nat’l Treasure, I wonder if anyone will ever give me permission to replace a brick in their building with a carefully crafter geo-container.

[2_Stand]

I did a quick google, it’ll be in the August issue.

Congrats on taking worthy pics.
