Ditto!

Too bad we didn’t cross paths before or after the milestone find..

I’m not even sure what sort of annual event you guys are talking about. If this event is open to everyone, I may be able to come. Our kids have Monday (1/25) off from school so there is a good probability we will be in the Dells that weekend.

It’s a cache event open to all cachers. At the event, those who play the WGA “Lonely Cache Game” can get together to reminisce and congratulate each other on another successful year of finding lonely caches. It was a fun get together last year!

CacheStats also has this now in a grid form that shows all days.

No, different info and different format. CacheStats has a calendar, and shows which days of the year you have found a cache.

I have a similar display on My Profile page.

The info I started this thread with is in regard to big days – what’s the highest number of caches you have found during one day of caching?
“I found 239 caches on 11/7/2009”.

As opposed to ‘I found 277 caches on 11/7th” (But over several years)

It’s all about the numbers………….

Actually I downloaded the newest CacheStats and it DOES do this marc. Go to the caches tab in the group by box click Date Found by day. Then click the check mark Sort by size of group (largest on top) There you go. Exactly what you are referring to without needing GSAK or a macro.

How many did you get today marc?

He got 40 of 47 on the list.

Was my “highest numbers day” by more than 10.

Since both are a hike for me to get there, the family would love a trip to the dells.

I agree with Jim on the other thread. Regardless of city, the actual event should be at an eating type establishment. Food is good.

I do use it, but because I don’t really cache anymore and never pull PQ’s it doesn’t really matter. In fact, I don’t have any alerts set up for new caches and the only automated function I use, and just recently turned on to, is the archive alert.

I do have one of my all time favorite caches in there though. A cache I have been to 5 times and have yet to log, and probably never will. I sure do like visiting it though 😉

I know which one it is. Why not log it?

The Dells in Midwinter can be fun. Lots of indoor waterparks to take advantage of and the traffic is far more tolerable. Either location suites me fine. Since you’ve stepped up to the challenge of hosting the event, I think the best bet would be to pick a date at the end of January and then submit a Poll using, say, 5 centrally located cities to see where most of the people are willing to travel or prefer to go. Keep in mind that last year, weather was a factor in some not showing, but geocachers as a whole are hard to dissuade and many more showed up than I anticipated, given the poor weather. Expect a pretty good turnout. Judging from this month’s competition, lots of people are getting into it!

I’m up for a dells trip! 😀

A sampling of what is on my ignore list:
GC1764C (Unfindable)

What’s up with that unfindable cache?? Interesting to say the least. Over 100 dnf’s. No Finds. Very interesting.

[-cheeto-]

Congrats! Here’s to 500 more.

[-cheeto-]

I don’t use that functionality of the website.

Of course, it could also be said that finding tupperware in the woods is pointless, and most noncachers would say that.

You got a point there!

Here’s some info for those of you not from the Milwaukee metro area. The battleship series, other than the fact that it does have a final and some preliminary mystery caches, is made up of 90+ hides which many of are at guardrails and bus stops. Some are winter friendly and many are not. The series is a lot about the numbers, but a lot of cachers also did have fun finding them. October COTM winner – The Battleship Series. Ironic?

Not really ironic, it just means that a lot of WGA members who vote for COTM live in the Milwaukee metro area.

A series of 90+ caches is no small feet in an of itself. I would imagine that the large number of caches this “power caching team” did were no small feet to place as well. Even if they were in not-so great locations.

Yeah they did a lot of caches in a day. More than I will find in the next 5 months. That’s cool. Surviving that long with marc is more worth congratulating than anything. 😉

FIRST off congrats. We think a run like this would make for good memories

The second part of this post will most likely mad some/most upset but we cannot go without posting it.

Why is it when a team NOT from WI did a run like this many of our forum members made many comments about how those that did it were out for only the numbers.

And now its different when a team from WI does it? We don’t understand.

Northern Lightz was all for it THEN AND NOW.

Just saying that maybe next time that people are willing to critisize on how a different team geocaches, they should think what if the situation included those I know….

Thats just our thoughts on it and we’re not calling any specific team out…..though we easily could.

But just remember that a situation may come up like this again.

Maybe this post will remind people to think before they feel they have the right to comment on how another team plays the game. We’re all out doing the same thing. This may also remind others to play nice in the forums, don’t be so quick to critisize. It may make people question what type of person you are when you go back on what you so eagerly put down, or said wasn’t right.

Okay, I’ll bite.

I have not posted a congratulations on this thread. I think this accomplishment is pointless and these guys are only out for the numbers.

They claim they want to be taken to nice trails with scenic overlooks but in reality all they want is to reach into a culvert or look for a nano under a garbage can.

There, does that make you happy?

I’ll pass on the offer. Thanks anyway!

[-cheeto-]

I have a puzzle cache that fits the bill.

First container was BURIED by landscaping crews.

Moved cache slightly.

Then 2nd container was muggled.

Cachers find the first container! (Miata is good..)

Then the bush that was being used for the cache was cut down to the ground. 3rd container went missing.

4th container is a magnetic nano.

We’ll see what happens next!
