Jeff, count me in as another Rock County cacher in Evansville.
Now that’s way cool.
Hey now, I started cachin’ when I was 52! I feel younger each time I’m out!
Here are two caches at dog runs near Janesville, stashed by that diabolical but ingenious cacher – wzbt03.

Wicket, the geocaching dog and I were out doing some cache maintenance in New Glarus on Saturday and then caching by Janesville and Cambridge on Sunday. He loves the hikes! And he’s gettin’ better at smelling out tupperware, too (kidding). See Wicket at my profile gallery or at http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=15110
~CachewWell, I’m not sure what all I have brought to this game. I am deeply appreciative of the efforts from the entire WGA administration. Ken, Brian and Jeremy in particular. These happen to be three people whose names I saw in the logs when I started in March 2001. My first two finds were Jeremy’s. The 5th was Brian’s and the 7th and 8th were two of Ken’s. (There were no caches around Madison at the time.)
These three people have really given a lot to Wisconsin geocaching, and they know a lot about how a loosely knit organization such as ours can be run successfully.
I’d also have to say that the caches from each of these guys are my favorites: a good, long and quiet walk in nature. A quiet place to show and share. Other examples of the same venue are from Lil Otter and the Hot Dogs Off Trail – and these people are also icons to our sport. I think I figured out why. These folks truly enjoy the outdoors experience over the technological game.
The few caches I’ve hidden have been lessons from these players – and I think there has been some success at making some of these good, long and quiet outings accessible to all. I hid a wheelchair accessible one on November, 2002 that survives to this day!
Some other big-time contributors to our success have been the likes of the Cache Cows, Trudy & the Beast, and wzbt03 who give so much to this forum.
But you know the one thing that intrigues us all – makes us grin and laugh – and that is the ‘I Found It’ effect! This is truly an amazing activity.
Have a Happy Caching New Year!
Cachew and Wicket, the geocaching dog – EvansvilleCammo duct tape, sticky side down!
Did you know that Wicket plays Monopoly?
Have a happy geocachin’ New Year!Way to go, Jeff!
I’m going south next week. Does Cancun, Mexico count? No matter! It’ll be a great cachin time. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=b510abe2-e7c7-4d73-9721-40420c7af5fc
Happy new year to you all.
Way to go, Otter! And a Happy New Year of Caches!
~Cachew and WicketJan or Feb to do some caching in the So Cal desert – Death Valley.
Might want to consider a TB Hotel.
But – be careful how one hears the word ‘raze’ when you mean ‘lift’!
Please let me know how it goes!
