I agree. Sorry, my comments were somewhat tongue and cheek. We’ve learned to always have water with us (a big supply in the car, and a large container with our geo-waist-pak) … no matter what the weather. Before we leave the house/motel, everyone goes to the facilities and takes a small drink of water … then we drink on the trail, in hopes that the trickle down effect waits until we’re back in the car and speeding to a filling station. we don’t speed, that part was tongue and cheek too
P.S. – my wife is a dietian, don’t anybody tell her I told you not to drink water! I’d rather get the speeding ticket.

I’ve never been able to personally achieve this … but my mother (just about to turn 80), grows produce and cut flowers and sells them on weekend markets (she’s slowing down a bit now, so it’s just the West Bend saturday market now). But she “plans ahead” and doesn’t eat after a certain time the evening before and only drinks minimal amounts of water. Not that I recommend starving yourself or dehydrating yourself before wondering about in the woods … but maybe there’s something to be said for going in for the find “light”. I new geo-diet plan?!?!
Ok, I’ve put a lot of thought into this … since cows don’t have hands, they’d have to go with the Garmin Fortrex with the neck strap upgrade. Tough to read the display, but cows don’t go for the caches over 2-stars anyway.
How’s this: http://wi-geocaching.com/cgi-bin/slide2/album.pl?photo=00000271/GeoCacheCowing.jpg
Note: I by no means endorse using an ammo box with out spraying over the original words, but anything goes in the typical barnyard hide.
We’ve made email contact … ideas/assistance are flowing.
New question … regarding infants and geocaching … see my post under the “Help” category … http://wi-geocaching.com/forums/Forum2/HTML/000186.html

JR …
Sounds like fun. We have two girls (9 and 13) and are always looking for other kids to set them loose on (I mean with).
To email any geocacher:
– log into your account on geocaching.com
– go to http://www.geocaching.com/email/
OR “Look Up/Email Another” on your “My Cache Page”
– then type the name of the user (ie. EnergySaver)
– you’ll be on your way from thereAgain, we’re not going to do any semi-heavy caching til the snow is gone.
If you want to “study up” … Search for caches at 53083 then click on the one for “Upriver”, then click on “View them all on one page” at the bottom of the screen(to see ALL the past logs). We’ve only made one attempt at this one, but spent a fair amount of time. So we’d love to bring another family’s eyes along and maybe some more rope.

Grousetales, good additional information and comments. Regarding “Wisconsin Local Flare” … maybe a logo, just not the WGA logo … maybe some new logo that just ties Wisconsin and geocaching together, for the purpose of these stickers (and other potential stuff like buttons or something) … like a cow holding a GPSr, while looking into an ammo box that looks like cheese; or something like that, with a saying like “enjoy Wisconsin, enjoy geocaching”.
John,
Maybe you can meet up with our family sometime, since we’re just south of you about 18 miles. I’m thinking of a specific cache in Sheboygan that has gotten the best of me … are you any good at hanging on to the end of a rope?
Maybe we could try for spring or something … as we’re not doing too much caching with the snow right now.
If you want to get into this for sure, the sooner you get a GPSr and play around with it the better (so that you know it well in the woods). But if your not sure (but you will be hooked once you try it), you can always let our “guest” GPSr point you around in the woods with us.
After rpaske’s joke … I take back everything I’ve said about The Beast.
I hearby claim this Topic fair game for bad jokes … but ONLY bad jokes … so keep them coming.
Now, if you have a Good Joke .. save those to post on Laughing Lion (GCMGP2) after you find the cache.
It is nice when people ask before hauling your TB off a distance. Someone in Canada has asked permission to take one of my daughter’s custom-made-creature TBs to England! We are of course very excited to see that kind of milage.
Again, very cool.
To bad there’s not some way you could see the attributes from the “seek list” … but not at the cost of cluttering the listing, it would have be some kind of hover function. Then again, I’d rather people actually read my cache listings rather than making a snap decision from a big list.
Bummer.
That’s the risk you take with buying TBs.
I’ve bought about 20 or so and have only lost 1 so far.
So don’t give up, maybe things will get better for you in the future.
It appears that the cache is “active” from their profile, maybe you should try again.01/18/2005 at 5:50 pm in reply to: Consider yourself invited – Waukesha Winter JANBOREE Geocach #1737706quote:

Yup. Gave me that very Old World feeling, plus $100 less for my daugter’s skis than elsewhere, plus 12 cats to play with!

Thanks for the heads up … got mine taken care of. (Tami: I took care of our event too).
I like how they did it … so that they don’t take up alot of extra space on the screen.[This message has been edited by EnergySaver (edited 01-17-2005).]
When I person hits the [Renew] button … assuming they just fill in their “Nickname” and “Password”; do all their past entries in the OTHER fields on the screen stay intact, or do they all reset to “blank” unless you fill them in again?
Maybe this is a stupid question, sorry if it is.
Also: I had no clue until now that you need to Renew, I would have never thought there’d be a reason to ever go back to the “Membership” screen after I joined. Maybe that’s why people are not renewing, I don’t see any intinctive reason to think I’d need to.

If I was only a bit taller, I’d be set for life with back scratches.
