Kinda brings new meaning to the phrase “raise the roof!”
Looks great!
I wonder if it’s just because they don’t want to spend the $$$ for snow removal/insurance for someone slipping on ice/etc. for the three people that would actually attempt to use the park over the winter?
Congrats! In response to #1, it looks like an image is available for you to use.
#2 – I wouldn’t vote for my own cache. I think the idea is for recognition for what finders think is the best cache.
#3 – Not a bad idea; at least a mention of the other caches that had been nominated.
#4 – Sigh. I wish I had the time to get to all the COTMs. If I were in the area, I’d certainly make a point to do a COTM over another, however.

Our sympathies to you and you family on your loss.
Fortunately it’s not torn, just strained a little. Hopefully it won’t keep me from getting Jingle Bell Rock set back out this weekend!
The score so far:
Turkey: 1
Cheesehead Dave: 0I’m brining the turkey this year, and in the process of moving the almost 40-pound bucket from the kitchen out to the garage, I may have torn my rotator cuff. Hopefully I can get in to see the orthopedist tomorrow to see what’s going on. Looks like my sous-chefs will be finishing up for me today…
Anyway, Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!
You haven’t cached until you ended up in Lake Michigan up to your shoulders, destroyed a cell phone, and had to walk into a Gap soaking wet to buy a new set of clothes.
I actually have just one true multicache. And as all the finders know, it’s a doozy, insome cases taking months from start to finish!
My other two “multis” involve a large time investment, as well as some distance, so to reward finders, I have made each stage a separate cache that can be logged. This way, you can spread the hunt over multiple days and not obligated to spend a day on a long cache for just a single find.
Let’s check the Stats Page…
10.0%
Going after multis is a toss-up for me. Since they take longer, I may devote special time for ones that may take awhile. Then there’s days like last Saturday when I was going more for trying to capture some of the SoM caches. I deliberately passed on two multis that were nearby because in the time it would have taken me to find them, I could have done 3-4 traditionals.
I’ll vote for Hartman Creek as well, and for any weekend except for May 15th.
Hmm… there’s caches in Wisconsin?
Thanks for all the kind words! I’m looking forward to the next 100!
The Chicago area forest preserve districts also have some Geocaching policies in place, but the requirements seem to vary substantially. Check them out here.
Congrats! I had hopes of keeping up with you, but I’ve fallen way back. Ah well.
I blame that darn “River” cache for keeping me down…
Ah, well in that case, I just hit that recently, as I now have 106 finds in Illinois.
It’s not that I don’t like caching in Wisconsin, it’s just that I work in Illinois, and on Mondays and Wednesdays I have a class that doesn’t start until 7:00. Instead of going home and coming back, I just get some quality caching time in. With the time between work and class, I’ve been averaging around 6 per week all semester.
Unfortunately, now that the sun is setting before 5:00 and all the parks close at sunset, I’m a little more limited. What hurts is I have most of Lake County cleared out, so what little daylight I have left after work I spend driving farther and farther away to find caches. The other day I ended up in Cook County.
Living in Kenosha as well, there’s not too many Wisconsin caches to my east and south, so when I am at home, it’s more difficult to find time to drive the distances to hit caches to the north and west.
My 200th was in another country, and if things go as planned, my 300th will be this weekend in Illinois.
