If you get it to me before Friday I could move it to Minnesota, put some miles on it for you.
Oh the woes of the short geocacher!
Happy Easter everyone!

Run, run, as fast as you can, you’ll never catch my bug, it’s the Bad Robot!
Oh the woes of the short geocacher!
I think I may have to do this.
Oh the woes of the short geocacher!
Very cool!

The layout and content is great! It really looks nice. The squirrel sure has been hard at work. I also appreciate the bright blue so I can find the “new posts” link again now that it’s moved. Old habits die hard. 😆

Bump! Just reminding members that today is the deadline for article submission for this quarter’s newsletter?
Oh no! Today? Did the deadline sneak up on you? Don’t worry, keep on working on that content and submit it for the next one!
Oh the woes of the short geocacher!
Just a reminder, the deadline for content submission is this weekend, the 10th. If you have any questions please feel free to respond in this thread or send me a PM. I look forward to seeing what you all come up with!

I’m more worried about the water in the moat. What if the robot rusts!

Not gators!

When we first moved to Waukesha I was still pretty young and had very young children. I grew up in Colorado and knew how to active there but the woods around here are pretty different. I didn’t really know where to go, just that I wanted to get outside. For years it was mostly city playgrounds that I took the children too (I was also doing home daycare for years) but I wanted more nature and less man-made recreation. One day something so strange happened, all 3 of my daycare families ended up not needing me. It was a sunny day and I had only my own kids to worry about. This was the day that I opened up a map and looked for the biggest patch of green I could find within a reasonable distance, which brought me to the Southern Kettle Moraine State Forest. I informed the children that we were going to have an adventure and to get in the car. We went to the forest HQ, where I have since created an Earthcache GC2E5BZ, and I talked to the Ranger about some hiking, biking and canoeing opportunities in the area. She suggested we go to the nearby Paradise Springs, where I have also since created a multi-cache GC352XR, as well as a few other spots. My kids and I had such a blast that day exploring the natural world and it really stands out in my mind because that was the day that I began to fall in love with the Wisconsin forests. While I miss the mountains and red rocks of Colorado desperately, I also really love the trees and greenery in WI.
I share this story even though it has little to do with geocaching, we didn’t discover geocaching for several more years after this day, because I just remember being so happy. But I just remember feeling such joy and tranquility that day out in the natural world, that’s where I am meant to be. This is why I geocache, I feel at home in the natural world. Sure, I’ll grab PNG’s, I just grabbed one less than an hour ago, but it was after hiking around with my dog picking up some caches.

Run Bad Robot, run! 😆

Hey look at that, there’s a couple of pictures of my caches in there. 🙂 Thanks Kelso!
Oh the woes of the short geocacher!
That’s great! Way to go Lacknothing!
Oh the woes of the short geocacher!
Kind of like a “Seen while caching” section? I was thinking of doing something like that. I think that would be great too!
