I was hinting that others should.

I would never… oh maybe I would..

Or you can hide them and unhide them from view on random days so it’s a bonus if you happen to look at the cache page on those days. Birthdays, anniversaries, are all great days to give away the solution to a difficulty 5 puzzle… 😉

Thanks Tami for the heads up and recommendation on an alternative campgrounds. We ended up choosing Timber Trail.

At least I got a couple yesterday.

Dude, why even bother trying? You know we can’t be beaten. There’s absolutely no way. It would be a complete exercise in futility to think that you could possibly catch us this month. Besides, you’d never get clearance to go anyway. So just bask in our awesomeness.

We bow to the, great master of the lonely cache game….

I just placed the one I bought in my new challenge cache.

That’s a double YUCK 🙂

I’ve published my new challenge, though it seems many seasoned veterans won’t think it’s too challenging…

GC1NZNF – Wisconsin Alphabet of Places Challenge

For those of you who are a bit newer or don’t get around the state as much it might prove to be a fun challenge to add to your to-do list as you cache around Wisconsin. Don’t forget to stop at those place signs and snap a pic too! 🙂 You never know which one you might end up needing.

I’ve left a message with Lake Lenwood so hopefully they call back and they have an opening for that weekend. We will be staying there in our pop-up and my whole family will be along for at least part of the cache event. Looking forward to the trip. Who knows, maybe we’ll like the campground so much we might have to make it a recurring trip 🙂

congrats!!

argument contrary to the views of a few vocal members

I enjoy reading all viewpoints. As do others who are less vocal as well.

I needed a little reminder as to why I largely ignore the forums as a whole.

To each his own I guess. It’s WAY worse on the geocaching.com forums than it is here. I hardly EVER type anything there. Here I still feel like I can and should contribute. You have your opinion and the others have there’s. Your opinion is respected as are those of the more vocal members here.

The public perception cast by the story is the direct consequence of our actions.

Actually “the perception cast” in this case was Fox 11’s crafting of the broadcast. Fox 11 proudly proclaims “fair and balanced”. That news “story” was very far from balanced, I won’t comment on the fair but it was not balanced. They chose to portray geocaching in a specific way in light of the bomb squad having to blow up something suspicious.

Did “we” the geocachers cause geocaching to be portrayed this way in the news. I actually don’t think so! I think general hysteria, lack of common sense, and the news media shooting for ratings rather than reporting the news caused this particular portrayal of geocaching.

I agree with gotta run on the usage of words in a news article. They have plenty of time to work out the details of any news story. They pay college educated employees to research & write the news stories. They researched geocaching before reporting (at least they did that much!) but then deliberately chose to use specific words to portray this activity to the general public. Would they have used the word “device” if the story was not related to the bomb squad exploding a suspicious device in a park? Probably not.

I’m sorry if others disagree but this is a case where the news station that my family regularly watches was indeed not fair and balanced as they try so hard to be.

It took me 30 minutes to solve the topic

It’s that “geocaching math” that threw you off wasn’t it?
