The event listing has been published on geocaching.com:
If you are looking to shorten it you can remove the Fall part… last time I checked, fall doesn’t officially start until September 23. 🙂 In fact, hopefully it is not too hot this time.
Get technical on me Jeremy!! LOL That’s ok…..I think I’ll rename it
Way Up Nord Late Summer, Rather Early Fall Camp out Cache `n Bash
Hows that??!! 😆
Congrats.. I can remember hitting my first 100. It was absolutely amazing to me to have found so many. Now look.. over 1000!!
Wait til 200 then 500 then 1000!! It;s so kewl to watch them add up!
Way to go and keep on caching.. come rain, sleet, or snow.. tornado?? well maybe LOLHonestly.. I think you are right about the more you find the harder it is to find a 1/1 LOL I have done that more than once. ya start looking too technically and miss the obvious.
Now where did I put those car keys???
For me.. I did a little research on the type pf GPS I wanted to get….assuming you don’t have one yet. Once I decided, I ordered it and had in my hands within a week.
Of course i had no clue what to do, so I posted a note on here, as you have, and One of the fine board members and his wife, drove from Milwaukee to Two Rivers, JUST to help lil ol’ me out.. Thanks Trudy & the Beast!!
They gave me a little insight on the GPS and how to go about finding a cache, telling me not to expect it right AT the coords, that there could be at least a 30 ft variance. Knowing this, I went back on line and scouted out a cache. Well.. I had no clue there there were ratings on these things and took some VERY difficult ones with no luck. I happened to hit upon and easy one, found it and was hooked.
So…. once you have your GPS in hand, go to GC.com and look for a cache close by to you with a 1/1 star rating, read the info and head on out. Make sure you know if it is a traditional or a multi stage, how large a container &/or what type. I would start with a regular sized one and not a micro. Say you re looking for an ammo box, look for obvious signs, like bark or logs positioned parallel to each other, or a hollow tree, some place where it would fit nicely. Remember that they are usually hid so a passer-by can’t find it..sometimes LOL
Coming to an event sure does help too. Hook up with a casual cacher and they’ll guide you right a long. Use the hint they give you, if you need to. Once you have found a couple you will have an understanding how SOME cachers hide, though there are many very clever hiders out there. Hint … Leave no STONE unturned. 😉
Hope this helps…. I am sure others will have many other suggestions!! Good luck and see ya on the trails!
Anne aka “Fu”
Must have been issues with Pony Express to Oconomowoc again LB7 LOL Bum leg on that one horse!! 😆
Way to go Team Wheezer!! Welcome to “Da Club”. NOw it’s on to 1500 for both of us!
Jeremy…
are you planning on adding this link to the Web link list?? I know I’ll lose it otherwise. LOL blonde Hare you know 😉 OR is it easier if members submit it?? Handy links people are posting, but they forget to submit them for listing.

According to Jeremy Irish (the other Jeremy), when they reach {GCZZZZ}, they move to 5 characters. He mentioned this in the reviewer chat session just last week.
Are they going to drop the ‘C’ (Ex. G12345)? Or are they adding the 5th digit? (Ex. GC12345)? I don’t think my GPSr can handle more than 6 characters. I’ll have to check it out.
I assume they reuse GC numbers once a cache or event is archived, too?????
Way to go!! Almost to that half century mark!! Congrats!
Waaahoo.. way to go!! I knew it wasn’t going to be too long, since you only needed a few after my event!
Congrats!
I switched to Firefox about a month or so ago. Opera was just lacking in it’s abilities and IE.. well forget it!! Tired of all the spyware. Now I have more fun stuff to play with….Thanks!!
08/03/2006 at 12:12 am in reply to: Help needed for Geoteaming Events at Camp Jeep Aug 9th-12th! #1764207I would have loved to help out, but I will be in NY at that time. Sorry!
Congrats Jeremy!! I think Marc should have reworded the title of this one though….LOL I know….my mind in the wrong place again!! 😆
Pick another state to attempt the Delmore challenge in. I think there are 3 now

🙁 I am starting to wonder if I am going to get one! I sent in for it right away. Hope it is in the mail today, feel like Ralphy waiting for my decoder pin…
😆 that laugh is for the decoder pin comment.
Sorry you have not received one yet. Not sure how they did this one. Maybe they are looking at each location in the state where they are being sent to, but then again… maybe it’s the luck of the draw
