    I knew I forgot something 😮 That’s what they get for “editing” me 😮

    Well done rant!

    With one exception (in my case), last year I was in a golf marathon fundraiser (you go nuts hitting like 3 balls on a hole, so you can golf 100 holes in a day, it’s strange but fun) …. so I needed lots of cheap golf balls, so I took them from caches when ever possible.

    Opps … Vince just emailed me now that they’re set for 9:15 … maybe you should just watch all the news, it’s good for you any way.

    It’s also being promoted on the Fox 6 website now … plus a teaser about the release of the July cache … and no, I don’t know where it is (not my department).

    Not sure if you’re still looking for photos, but here are a couple from yesterday’s July 4th event at Harrington Beach State Park that might work …

    (BUMP)

    The article is for sure airing tonight (7/5) during the 9pm channel 6 News.
    Vince emailed me to indicate that it will MOST LIKELY be AROUND 9:30pm.

    Shall be interesting to see what they’ve done, as it’s difficult for me to tell how “complete” the explanation of hiding caches will be, as I suspect there will be lots of gaps filled in with voice-overs.

    in reply to: Blackberry Handhelds – Going Paperless #1763106

    From what I’m hearing … If I had a Blackberry, I’d feel compelled to still want a PalmPilot for caching (even if it was a cheap/ebay black and white unit), so that I could still use CacheMate … or get the Palm T/X, which has Wi-Fi

    I looked at that article … it doesn’t look all that promising to me, from those comments.
    If any one else has comments or experience, speak up … thanks.

    in reply to: Who is coming? #1762860

    We’re spoken for that day …. but, we’ll be having fun anyway (not to mention sneaking in some caching that weekend). To those attending … have fun and don’t soil your name tags!

    Harrington Beach State Park … April 2005 Geo Event:


    Harrington Beach State Park … June 2005 Geo – Open House for people to learn about geocaching:

    Thumbs up from me too.
    It’s a great grouping.
    The new board walk in there must have cost a pretty penny.

    in reply to: Why? – Cache Containers (Split from Why?) #1762772

    Those loc n’ loc containers are great!

    Might be a good time to revisit this past Forum … http://wi-geocaching.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=3956&highlight=

    Strange … I copy/pasted your email and changed it to an @

    Well, since I don’t see a reason to keep this secret, my suggestion are below:

    We’ve only cached in the Iron Mountain area of MI … but here are our favorites from that area:

    Piers Gorge (GCAAA3) … beautiful rushing waters and scenic paths with many slate out-croppings.

    Fumee Falls Geocache (GCKMAK) … only a drive up wayside, but it has a beautiful little waterfall, very peaceful.

    Brian …

    Thanks for doing this … I’ve sent a couple your way via email.

    While searching ebay I did find this cache very interesting if not amusing 😉 I don’t know how many of us would actually poke at it to see if it was real or not. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8818735924

    I’ve run into a couple of those already.

    LOL … this reminds me of the time that cacher went for one of my caches and thought that I used one of those containers and thought they found my cache, but they were wrong, boy were they wrong.

    As for micros … I’d rather find a regular than a micro any day. We do go for micros that are in interesting places and/or that give us a nice scenic hike in the woods; but for the most part we won’t go out of our way to get one that’s a drive-up or 500′ dash, UNLESS we’re already in the area doing other caches in the general area. Sometimes we’ll do a few urban micros when we really have the itch to cache, but the weather isn’t the best. However, I get frustrated when you hike in the woods for a micro, that could have been something bigger in the same basic spot … as I’ve said before, sometimes it seems a shame to “waste” a nice big hiding spot for a little container. But then again, this is totally our family’s opinion and others may do what they wish and they’re following the rules, so I don’t let it bother me. When we take cachers out for the first time, I will also make sure that the first few are regulars, so they have more of a “wow factor” and get hooked on caching, before we add in some of the micros.

    Thanks kbraband for linking to one of my caches at Pleasant Valley.
    I would recommend ALL the caches in that park … especially one of kbraband’s that is one of the caches that originally hooked us on geocaching, because his cache is a great hide in an amazing jungle like setting this time of year: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=e4827a09-b4b4-45ba-b878-dc9c053fcd41

    If you like a park with a variety of terrain and various vegetation settings … come north and check it out.
