WTG, Dave! Power caching at its finest. Keep it up! — Diane
Paperless is priceless! Saves time and energy searching caches by the click of a button you can download into the palm the cache pages and the last 5 logs!
I can’t imagine going back to printing, etc. Just like I can’t imagine going back to hand entering each waypoint! (okay – I’m pampered)
If you need the link to get step by step instructions, let me know. I don’t have it with me but I can access it, copy it, and post it for those interested.
Awesome job! Keep it up…it’s amazing how fast the milestones come. Enjoy each cache and reflect which ones are the best!
B. QueenCONGRATS!! What an accomplishment. Keep it up!
WTG! Shoot for 600 by the end of the year – you can do it!! Isn’t it amazing when we break a milestone how close the next one appears… Enjoy each one!

Enjoyed spending the day with you and crossing milestones together, along with slippery logs, fields of water, etc… Sorry to disappoint the boys by not falling down today; tell them there were some close calls though!

Love caching with all of you: Earth Angel, Professor, Duelist, and Princess. I look forward to the next milestone and the next and the next…
[ ]AWESOME!! An event so close to home and organized by two of my favorite cachers. Rock on!! I won’t miss this one (Lord willing of course).
I ditto Miata – Way to go!
Thanks Socko for giving me a series so close to home, attainable to find, and many memories to go with them all. I find when I am driving through the area I think of the caches that are now laid to rest.
My leg fell in a hole there doing a SOM cache; I scraped up my leg not once but twice on this cache; I cut my finger on a SOM cache there…
Ahhh the memories you have given me.
Thanks Socko — I look forward to the next search and find!

Dear Fellow Geocachers:
When I originally posted my thread I did not know that I was one of the ones implicated nor had I read thoroughly the prior posted threads. Had I, I wouldn’t have written what I did. Let me start all over: I am sorry for all of this. While it is true that I am somewhat of a Newbie, that isn’t an excuse for Divide and Conquer.
I know I have inconvenienced you enough, but I hope you take a look at my log page. As I was telling a fellow cacher recently in an email, I am very focused when I cache. My goal is to find it, sign it, and on to the next. You can see this if you review my log page. For example, two weeks ago I went to Waupun by myself, cached for four hours, and found nearly 20 caches. This past Saturday I cached for four and a half hours and found 18 caches.
I hope you realize that what happened wasn’t done to pad numbers, but was done for other, still wrong, reasons. I offer no excuses, but accept responsibility for my actions.
I apologize for the uproar that this has caused, and I will delete the ten caches gained through Divide and Conquer. I know that those of you that know me are disappointed, and those that don’t know me as well. I hope you can all forgive me, become friends, and hopefully I can gain your respect. Please believe me that this will never happen again.
-DianeSounds like fun — count at least one more.
Wow – A lot of you don’t know me but I’m new to geocaching. I have cached for just over two months and have been drawn into the addiction.
People geocache for several different reasons: the joy of being outdoors, hiking, the hunt, the bonding with friends, meeting new people, going places they’ve never been, or simply the goal to find as many as quickly as possible, etc.
Some people cache for pure joy of nature and outdoors while others do it to fill a need in their life, perhaps the need for competition (whether one sided or not).
Whatever the reason, why does it really matter? This is not something we make millions of dollars doing. It is to fill a personal need, whatever that need may be.
I know people that just go out and cache and don’t log it on line. Some log just to say, “hey I’ve been there.” Others may log because they want to brag how many they’ve done.
Who are we to judge why someone does something? Shouldn’t we sit back and wonder why this enire sport was created?
I try to stay out of these boards because why discus such negative things? So far I’ve met a lot of wonderful people through geocaching that I wouldn’t have met otherwise. I consider it an extended family in a way. That would explain the ‘bickering’ of such things as ethics in caching. Caching is what we make it. Who is to say why/how a person is doing it is wrong?
Just food for thought.
-Bushwhacking QueenWay to go Astro-D Team! Keep up the search
Way to go AuntieNae! 100 more and you’ll be in four digits! Remember it’s a sprint not a marathon – I mean a marathon not a sprint. [ ]
