Thanks everyone for the wonderful input!

I have purposefully never hid a cache on a mailbox. I guess I have used good judgement 😀

There are plenty of guard rails, garbage cans, benches, signs, poles, fences and other metal objects to attach a magnetic keyholder to.

You could email the cache owner to discuss “right from wrong”. Perhaps they might not have the same good judgement as you, especially if the owner is a new cacher.

Make that 31 now. 😀

Is a creepy place to be at dusk. I also did a nearby puzzle (neighboring cemetery) that is close by the “Blood” Grave which is supposedly haunted and/or blood has been seen and I ended up there actually after dusk as well. Trust me, they will ask you to leave the cemetery at dusk. There is yet a 3rd cache in this pair of cemeteries but its yet another puzzle. We actually returned to the 12 creepy grottos one during the day as a family and it was a neat walk in the woods with the family. It is a much different place during the day then at dusk. Have fun and dont be too spooked!

Heres to hoping that “special cache” is not muggled or even worse eludes you 🙂 Enjoy your milestone outing Dave. And congratulations. I will probably find my 1000th sometime in 2011.

After today all bets are off again for you Fox Valley ftf chasers…

Awesome reply Team Hemisphere Dancer… Loved the analogy.

I hate the ones where you dont have a “guide” so you end up biting a bunch you dont like! Coconut, ew. Orange, well ok. Caramel, where are the rest!

Now back to solving this soduku!

Look who we are talking about here…

Does he even use Pocket Queries?

It’s a matter of taste whether you like puzzle caches or not…. That is simply what folks are posting here on this thread.

What I would really like to share with everyone is, please give some of the “puzzles” in the “fox cities” a try because you might just enjoy the experience and learn something too. Ignoring puzzle caches is denying yourself a big part of the sport where there is a lot of creativity, education, and fun.

If I ignored dead end caches I would have never seen one of the cleaverest hides I have seen. If I ignored cemetaries, I would have never done the COTM in Greenbay that I also enjoyed very much. Some of the puzzles in the area are flat out the best caches in the area, hands down. You can choose to ignore them if you like, but I will be out there enjoying the effort put into these caches by their owners and maybe learning something I didn’t know before.

I will share my taste, since that seems to now be the subject of this thread. I like all kinds of caches including puzzles but my favorite are those caches that make me pay more attention to my surroundings and teach me something along the way. If they happen to be a puzzle or a dead end or a cemetary (or any other taste/variety), I am really glad I didn’t ignore them.

To each his/her own.

Thanks Rsplash for the recognition (and everyone else!) Dont you know it. I think that’s why I was placed on this earth, to give Dave a hard time…. I wish you well in your new adventures…. and keep in touch man.

Onto 400 double-speed!

Congrats!

Being a coin collector (foreign and us), I look forward to finding a couple of these to add to my collection.

…He logged his 500th on one of my hides. (Love the topic header Rsplash, you come up with the best)

Congratulations Alex… though I am sure the uneventful passing of a landmark is testament of your current interests in the sport 🙂 we all know what those are….

Thanks for the new puzzles too and the race to solve/find/log 20 puzzles. It’s been fun so far. (Thought I would advertise in case other’s hadn’t seen it)

How about geocoins that forever stay in Geocaching event inventories? 🙂

Or placing a friend’s travel bug in a very neat cache to only have the next person log on the cache page that they grabbed it but “oh i guess i dropped it on the trail somewhere”….

I thought you were going to take a break….

I see Sagasu has been celebrating by not only keeping it going but also logging 24 more finds on the 18th in the rain.

Thanks to the other’s for recognizing Dave’s better 2/3’s 🙂 I have read the stories and know how important and supportive they have been.

Okay, since you won’t rest you now have to hit 365. I better start hiding some regular local one’s so you don’t have to solve any s|s puzzles…

Hip Hip Hooray!

Congrats on the milestone Team Bear Bear!
