I was in the Wausau area yesterday for a meeting, and decided to do some caching in the afternoon. My plan was to find three in the Weston area, then head over to Rib Mountain to do 5 more to make it to my 1900 milestone. Well I DNF’d one of the ones in Weston, then the third one was in David Cantrell’s front yard. When I left DC’s and headed toward Rib Mt. I forgot that the ramp for 39 north was closed, so I adjusted my plan and headed to Mosinee. I passed on two caches because it was getting late and I had work to do at home, and ended up at Sparky Finds 1000! (GC31Q01).
As I walked the 1/4 mile out to the cache, I was thinking about what a nice area this was. It’s a shame that I don’t ever come out here just for a walk. I’ll have to start doing that. Then, after finding the cache … one short of my goal for the day … I started walking back to the truck and thoughts of the cachers I’ve met on these trails. My first time visiting the Sandy Creek area I met Brian from TBC and Rsplash40 and shared an FTF with them. We spent the next couple hours caching together, and I learned a lot from them that day.
On my next trip to Sandy Creek I met Mindy and Corazon from conejo rojo. I had Dakota, my geolab with me, so the four of us headed off down the trail together. We spent a couple hours finding caches and chatting.
Sparky put out a couple more caches in the Sandy Creek area later, and I returned to find them. On this visit I met tbutter and KellyLea. I was done and on my way back to the truck, so we only got to talk for a few minutes.
As I rounded the final bend in the trail before I got back to the truck, I spotted a woman with a dog up ahead. As I approached, a man stepped out from behind a group of trees, staring at a GPSr. Stopped and chatted with Jawbreakers for a few minutes before I headed for home and they headed out onto the trail.
Every time I’ve visited the Sandy Creek area, I’ve run into someone else out there geocaching and enjoying the beauty of the area.

Here’s an example of what I stumbled on early tonight. Did I “Find It”?
Did you sign the log ❓ 😆 🙄
Holy cache run, Batman! My best MONTH is 195. Can’t even fathom 24K. All I can say is WOW!!!

Fifth graders are mouthy???
As a fifth grade teacher I feel qualified to answer that question. YES, when they think that they can get away with it.
Oh, I looked for it before you were there, after you were there, and then again after someone else found it. It was a very good hide, and yes, you probably were very close to it at some point in your search.
Funny, I just did this yesterday, and on a cache that Trekkin’ and Birdin’ DNFed. 😆
Hooray for honest people
Midnight … no, I don’t think so
I would have won, but I recused myself, since I placed the targets 😀
Congrats on the milestone. I was saving that cache for 1000, then 1000 came and went, so now I’m saving it for 2000.
That is great news. Sending prayers for continued improvement.
Considering that I can get these same bags, with printing, for $1.28 … no, I would not pay $5.00
I use mine year-round, but now that I have 2 of them, I may be running out of uses for them.

I am on a cache page (any cache page), and scroll down to online maps. I click on the geocaching.com google map (the top option). I get a grayed out map, with Signal the Frog in a big white square over it. I click the x to get rid of the Signal square. Then I click Back to original maps.
More often than not, I do not get the map of the area of around the cache on the page. I get somewhere called Green Lake, Duck Island. It doesn’t look even local.
Can anyone explain why this happens, and how I can get the right map the first time?
Wait until the Beta map is completely loaded before clicking on Back to Original Maps.
