I’ve always assumed a mystery cache is one that involves more that just hunting down a location via coordinates or multiple locations/coordinates with my GPSr.

The cache Energysaver spoke of sounds more like a standard cache with an attached bonus cache. I have hunted a couple of these, but often there is no mention of the bonus cache on the cache page. The information needed to hunt the bonus cache is a suprise, to be found at the first cache.

I think the easiest solution is to go paperless with a PDA. Cache information is always at my fingertips, and this does include past finders log entries.

Most of the active cachers I know use a PDA. I started using one after my first month or so of caching, and have not printed a cache page since. In my PDA, you will find the cache page for every cache within a few hundred miles. It works very much like you are viewing them on your home pc. Also decrypts hints and shows recent logs.

Might be helpful to seach the forums for “PDA”, “Spinner”, “Plucker”, or “Cachemate”. Lots of good stuff here.

Thanks Alan, for the time spent keeping the web site running and up-to-date!

Several times I have driven many miles only to find what appeared to be a road on my GPSr ended up being a stream or river.

Maybe a color unit would help me avoid that problem.

I can picture the whole incident in my mind as I remember that cache very well.

I hope that no members of law enforcement are going to be offended by the slang terms we might use for them sometimes. Perhaps our next WGA member might be the officer that joined you in your hunt for the cache.

Something to think about…..

Thanks everyone for all your kind words! Little did they know, but I got to share my 600th find with my mom & dad on a roadtrip to Wisconsin’s most northern cache- “Point Detour” by Yawningdog’s Pack. I have now completed the most southern and most northern caches in Wisconsin.

I was also lucky enough to hunt down several caches with my sister. Although she introduced me to the sport almost one year ago, it was the first time we have ever cached together, which was time well-spent.

Among some of the highlights of my journey, were hunting 3 more previous COTMs, and several of Lil Otter’s Waterfall Caches, all of which I highly recommend to those who ever get the opportunity. The “Slough Gundy” cache is another I highly recommend. For me, there’s just nothing better than hunting caches in the proverbial “middle of nowhere”.

Thanks again everyone, and keep the great caches coming!

See you on the trails!

Anyone with a tupperware sniffing dog is ok in my book. Well Done Cachew!

[Cathunter]

JThorson, King of Wisconsin Geocaching! All hail to the King!

A big congratulations to the almighty stache seeker!

[Cathunter]

I hope each of your finds brought you as much satisfaction as I got from hunting your hides! Way to go!

[Cathunter]

May each 100 to follow be as inspiring as the first!

Congratulations!

[Cathunter]

Dave, your hides alone put you in the same rankings as the top cachers on the boards.

Congratulations on another great milestone!

[Cathunter]

What does 800 finds convert to in lbs of rubbish while practicing CITO?

Oh, and congratulations!

A WISearchers suggested, I would say that the safest way to have a bug hotel is to make it a “members only” cache. The bugs might not move as quickly, but the chances of them being taken and held would go way down.

[Cathunter]

Seeing that you didn’t really have the opportunity to look for it, I think a note is fine.

Remember, if you can cross the water without facing death, there is no excuse for not finding the cache.

I placed one in a cache last night.
