But you must at least check out BakRdz’s aforementioned “Angel’s Landing” GCG2ZP………..just look at the posted pixs, topo or sat view of this!

Here’s a photo of me at the start of the trail leading from Scouts Landing out to Angels Landing.

If you want to get a look of the trail along the way, this is a great site that shows pics from the trailhead to the final.

The hike to Scouts Landing is doable for most. It’s only the last few hundred yards to Angels Landing that ups the terrain stars.

I can accomplish the same thing with a multi. It will require more permission hoops to place the waypoint containers, is all. It is completely residential, which is part of the reason I’d rather have tried a WIG, so that a person can stand on the sidewalk, look at the historic homes for the needed info, and move on.

I was just explaining that same issue for WRR 40 with someone. My thought about a way around it was to make it a puzzle multi. “Visit the waypoints along the road to get the info for a final placed elsewhere.” Sandlanders did something similar on a RR in their area and it works well.

Challenge caches these days can’t require you to complete all of the caches on your “list.” You can ask for about half to be found, but the element of choice is the key.

That’s one of the reasons I’m not saying there will officially be a challenge cache for this. I have some ideas for ways to make it work though.

Hey, BakRdz! Did you here the one about the cacher standing on the roof of his car and getting questioned by a bow hunter?! 😯

😆 😆 😆 If only there were pictures to go with it.

1. The primary goal of this project was to populate Wisconsin’s Rustic Roads with at least one cache to promote the designation and encourage visitation. A WIG does fit that goal.

2. While there COULD BE some sort of “Challenge” associated with this series SOMEDAY, there are ways around the “I can’t do a WIG.” issue based on how the requirements for a hypothetical Challenge cache could be written or by being able to borrow a GPSr (or a person with a GPSr) that can do them.

If T&B thinks that a WIG is the best way to highlight the road (which is primarily residential if I’m reading a map correctly), then I’d say go for it.

That was great thanks for taking the time to figure that out and posting it. I caught a big of an explosion of lights in Waukau. That’s when BakRdz must have started caching.

😆 That’s too funny, because I thought the same thing! I watched the timeline for about when I started caching then looked up to suddenly see a little “off the strip” area just west of OshVegas burst into light.

Very Cool TBC! …but can’t you overlay a topo or road map next time? 😆

I do really want to do the one in West Salem too, only as a WhereIGo. That particular road really lends itself well to a tour type cartridge, as its rustic significance is defined by historic locales. No, our house is not one of them!

I’d be willing to accept any and all help in trying to figure out how to begin with a WhereIGo. That website is not geared for technophobes such as myself.

I wish I could be of help, but I really don’t have ANY experience with them. I do like the idea of one WhereIGo WRR though. If I come across anyone with the tech experience with them, I’ll pass it along.

On a side note, I think TheBalks have WRR 55 almost done. Would you consider looking into WRR 26? There is one cache on it, but I contacted the owner awhile back and have never heard anything back.

Spectacular! A nice choice indeed. Always a pleasure to read your logs. 8) 8) 8)

[BakRdz]

That certainly deserves a pat on the back! Way to go! Great adventures.

[BakRdz]

WOW. That’s a lot of territory and stuff to see! Based on my more recent trips and the parks you’ve mentioned, here are a few highlights I’d recommend. Most are virtuals or ECs:

Moab Area:
1. Check out this cache (GC264Z7) and the others along the road it is on. Very picturesque drive.
2. The symbol of Utah and a nice hike. GC177KB
3. Can’t help but drive by this one if you’re in the park. GCZD91
4. In Canyonlands. Spectacular view and great photo op. GCHQGR

Zion NP:
1. The last part of this hike is not for acrophobiacs, but the hike is on my top 5 list of favorites of all time! Only wish I had been caching at the time I went so I could officially log it. GCG2ZP
2. Takes a bit (and a permit) to get here, but well worth it. GC1YH84
3. A must stop destination. GCZ5YD

Nice job Pete. 8)

(Isn’t it embarrasing when family members start sharing on these forums. 😳 ) 😆

[BakRdz]

Thanks for starting this thread. Another cacher had brought up working on some related letterbox hybrids together. Until this point I never really understood what the point was. Just seemed like an ordinary cache with stamp inside. At least it has caused me to look into more of the history.

Question for the more experienced letterbox placers – Do most people double list them between the two sites?

WRR 43 is done and published…GC299HZ

Hmmm. Had it on the bookmark list but forgot to make the change on my running total list and the map. Thanks for the reminder. It’s getting tough to keep up. 😉 😀

[BakRdz]

As of June 1st…

Total # of WRR caches placed: 56
# left for adoption: 26
# of committed to be placed: 26

😆 😆 😆 😆

I love these new-fangled milestones! 8) Great job!

I’m sure Pat has a good recommendation for #777. 😉

[BakRdz]

Nice Job JT! Saw you made it through the real soup a few weeks back for the end of the alphabet. Glad to see you nailed down the Final for a Fine milestone!
