This is another map, that shows the area better … http://www.dnr.state.wi.us/org/land/Forestry/StateForests/kmnumap.pdf
(Look for the “Old Wade House” slightly right of center at the top of the map, then go down from there)[This message has been edited by EnergySaver (edited 06-21-2005).]
Is that THE Greenbush, like only 45 minutes away from me! What will I do with all the extra gasoline in my car? Depending on some things falling together, I MIGHT be able to help out with some of the hides or something.

It’s a pain … IF you happen to be using a fairly good-sized geo-bag … try sticking it in there and close your zipper a bit (don’t say it) and try looking at it then.
Luckly for me, my wife is falling in love with my Zire 31 (which has the problem); so she’s getting the 31 and I’m awaiting a delivery of a Tungsten E2, which has a higher-tech transflective display, which pretty much makes the problem go away.
Good catch, T&tB!
When I hid my first geocache “Balance Beam Creek”, I think I had only been at it for one weekend, I’m guessing I had maybe 10 or 12 finds. But yet it seems to have been a well received geocache, and I don’t wish I had done it differently. It depends on the person, too.As an example, in my case I think I’m excessively creative … to the point of driving my co-workers and family nuts … to the point of putting way too much time and effort into anything I do that’s different. I would feel bad if I “ignored” a geocache out there done by someone else that was like me … a newbie, but without a normal MRI.

A tip … anytime I can’t find a geocache on the first attempt, or if the last geocacher could not find it, or if it’s not been logged as found in a while … I click on the hidders profile and look at their “Last Visit” date; if they’ve not even “tickled” their own profile in a while, that means they’re not paying attention to geocaching and their own geocaches … at that point I don’t waste any time on those caches.
I’m aware of a geocacher in my area that has 2 geocaches and only seems to log into geocaching.com once every 6 months or so. In my opinion, that’s not very responsible when you have geocaches hidden out there. I’ve got their geocaches on my “watch list” and take care of any problems that have come up with the geocaches, since they have been unresponsive to the logs and emails of other geocachers. For one of them, I’ve replaced the container twice now when it’s been damaged … very frustrating to me that they do this.
Lots of good points … good discussion topic. Thanks for bringing it up.
My opinion … I think a person should have a fair amount of finds, before they do hides. Now maybe, early on they find a real perfect place to hide a cache, or maybe they are just itching to hide one … then fine, go for it … but before they hide MORE, they should have a good feel for what their areas caches are like. Now maybe they are much more into hiding than finding … maybe that means (for example) they should have 50+ finds and then go nuts with the hides. So maybe a record of 50 finds to 100 hides is ok … but NOT 5 finds to 100 hides.
I don’t think anyone should make an official rule on this … just common sense … maybe it would be nice if on the top of each geocache listing, it would show the owners find/hide stats, right on the listing screen … the rest of the geo-world could make their own judgment on seeking that owner’s caches then.
You “bit much” was noted … I just wanted to indicate a “much much” for myself.
Have you by chance ever checked out?:
“HouseofBrew’s Website of WI Geocaching records!” at http://www.igotsomestuff.com/A WGA member with some cool stats … referenced from the WGA Links page.
Wayyyyy too much going on with that AZ Home Page. I got dizzy and closed it, before finding anything I wanted to check out further.
If the day is too hot … don’t forget to head east to Lake and visit mine too!
I hope to have a new “fun, but not too tricky” multi ready to go by the end of the weekend. Shhh, keep it a secret.
Darn … I hate it when I’m wrong.
So far the only think I have right today, is that my nose looks bad in pictures.Ok, you got me!
But …. you think that’s bad …. ALL of my geocaching pictures of me look that bad or worse! It’s the only thing I don’t like about geocaching … it reveal to me that I have very viewable and ugly nostrils!Here’s another example, taken at “I believe” in Mequon …
Click Here if you Dare!… Incredibly similar … but at least I kept my mouth shut!

OuttaHand, this may or may not be obvious from what other said … BUT, the fact that you see “None in queue” … tells me that YOU have NOT created the http://www.Geocaching.com listing. Getting approval from the Geological Society does NOT magically create the http://www.Geocaching.com entry … you still need to create one for approval, like any other geocache … the difference is what happens NEXT, per Grousetales. So, if I’m understanding things correctly, the “hold up” is currently you, since you need to create the listing.
Note: You should never include pictures of members on an organization website, it sometimes causes people to get big heads.
PUT this all in the correct perspective.
THEM Jeeps are just pieces of metal & plastic.
ALL of us will get a chance to see one.
IN due time they will work there way to you.
MY how we all get so excited about toys.
CACHES are more important than Jeeps!(Caution: You’ve just been exposed to a subliminal message!)
