ks9wi asked me about taking him out there some time…maybe we could mount an expedition one day this summer, Chris. And I promise that you will get wet so don’t bring the Hodag along.

One word, snowmocaching!

Yeah, but most of the caches are still not winter-friendly, Chris. If you’d like to do them in the summertime, I have a boat…much more fun. Hmmm…can you get to Shoot’s by water???

Hi, Becca. Welcome to “the hunt”. I use a Garmin GPSmap 62s. I can download caches/pocket queries directly from my computer as well as log my finds afterward on my computer. I bought it a couple of years ago…I think I paid around $300 for it. A number of cachers I know use the Garmin Oregon which has the same features but with a touch screen. They both allow paperless caching. I think they run about the same dollarwise but you need to shop around cuz prices vary. If you would like something a little less pricey, I’ve heard good things about the Garmin eTrex10 and 20. They both allow for paperless caching and run between $100-200. The 10 has a black/white screen while the 20 is in color. Check them out on the Garmin website.

I’m wondering if most of the folks that hang out here are veteran cachers that really don’t have many questions about caching, problems with their gps, etc. That’s why I originally started looking in the forums. And I actually found more help, in that respect, in the Groundspeak forums.

MURPHY’S 15 OTHER LAWS
1. Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people
appear bright until you hear them speak.2. A fine is a tax for doing wrong, and a tax is a fine for doing well.
3. He, who laughs last, thinks slowest.
4. A day without sunshine is like, well, night.
5. Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.
6. Those who live by the sword get shot by those who don’t.
7. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently-talented fool.
8. The 50-50-90 rule: Anytime you have a 50-50 chance of getting something right, there’s a 90% probability you’ll get it wrong.
9. It is said that if you line up all the cars in the world end-to-end, someone from California would be stupid enough to try to pass them.
10. If the shoe fits, get another one just like it.
11. The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first.
12. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will sit in a boat all day drinking beer.
13. Flashlight: A case for holding dead batteries.
14. God gave you toes as a device for finding furniture in the dark.
15. When you go into court, you are putting yourself in the hands of twelve people, none of whom were smart enough to get out of jury duty.

At the UW, there were four sophomores taking chemistry and all of them had an ‘A’ so far. These four friends were so confident that the weekend before finals, they decided to visit some friends and have a big party. They had a great time but, after all the hearty partying, they slept all day Sunday and didn’t make it back to Madison until early Monday morning. Rather than taking the final then, they decided that after the final they would explain to their professor why they missed it. They said that they visited friends but on the way back they had a flat tire. As a result, they missed the final. The professor agreed they could make up the final the next day. The guys were excited and relieved. They studied that night for the exam. The next day the Professor placed them in separate rooms and gave them a test booklet. They quickly answered the first problem worth 5 points. Cool, they thought! Each one in separate rooms, thought this was going to be easy … then they turned the page. On the second page was written…
For 95 points: Which tire? _________

The graduate with a science degree asks, “Why does it work?”
The graduate with an engineering degree asks, “How does it work?”
The graduate with an accounting degree asks, “How much will it cost?”
The graduate with an arts degree asks, “Do you want fries with that?”

A Wisconsin Poem
It’s winter in Wisconsin
And the gentle breezes blow
Seventy miles an hour
At thirty-five below.Oh, how I love Wisconsin
When the snow’s up to your butt.
You take a breath of winter air
And your nose gets frozen shut.Yes, the weather here is wonderful
So I guess I’ll hang around.
I could never leave Wisconsin
Cuz I’m frozen to the ground!Oconto...the birthplace of western civilization:)

With the holidays upon us I would like to share a personal experience with you about drinking and driving after a “social session” with friends. Well, this past weekend I had a few cocktails followed by a handful of glasses of vintage red wine. Despite the jolliness, I still had the sense to know that I was over the limit. That’s when I decided to do what I have never done before…I took a cab home. Sure enough, there was a police road block on the freeway but, since it was a cab, they waved it past. I arrived home safely without incident.This was both a great relief and surprise because I had never driven a cab before. I don’t even know where I got it from and, now that it is in my garage, I don’t know what to do with it 8)

Thanks, Mr. GT…I try to please.:D Since NE WI is my comfort zone, I haven’t experienced some of these other cachers’ hides. Because I’m visiting my daughter and her family currently over the holidays though, I’m reminded of an area cacher here around Hudson, River Falls, etc. who’s inspired my imagination…Spike 007. When the grandsons are napping I try to be sure I’ve got some of his caches loaded in the gps and sneak out to search for them…Chris’s containers and locations never fail to disappoint.
Another cacher that I’ve heard great things about is Woodcarver Dan in the Rhinelander area. I understand he has created some unique and awesome caches…gotta get over that way some day and check them out.Oconto...the birthplace of western civilization:)
Thanks everyone…am currently at my daughter’s near Hudson playing with my grandson…I think I’m getting carried away with the smileys…now I’m creating them out of Play-Doh. Merry Christmas to all 😀
