Nice BIG number Brett! Congratulations on the milestone.
An incredible record BQ!
Congratulations Chris & Robin, You guys truly deserve to be listed as “the elite” among cachers, and you never cease to have fun while doing it. Way to go!
I’ve got all of the usual stuff listed above, however, my bag got a little heavier this Christmas. My wife gave me a pair of binoculars with a built in digital camera. More toys!
Dave, what an incredible 1 year milestone!
While you are at it, let us know how you did on last years resolutions!
My resolution is to not be obsessed with numbers, and enjoy the social and outdoor aspects of caching more (with an occasional easy micro when I need a quick caching fix).
As for my resolutions from last year, I am now 9 months free form smoking 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀

Just one word to describe this fear: AWESOME!!!
Winter is a great time to cache, just don’t expect to get huge numbers. You will encounter different challenges than caching in other times of the year. Each time I go winter caching, I learn something new. This week I had the “keep your feet dry” lesson reinforced! Find a companion, and choose a few good caches. You’ll be glad you did.
Why not organize a meet & greet. A lot of other cachers are going through with-drawl too.
Way to go Bandits. This is a BIG number. You guys rock!

Thanks for your post, I need a good belly laugh to start each day!
Thank you, your work has helped to make Wisconsin a great place to cache.
I’ve been watching this topic with a lot of interest, as I spent a good portion of this last summer in a wheelchair.
I was fortunate in that I was able to use crutches in addition to the chair, but most of the time at work was in the chair.
I only hunted for one cache while confined to the chair, it was in a nearby park with terrain that I was familiar with. I scored a DNF at the time with that cache – it was missing. I later went back and found it on crutches, but at the time it was extremely satisfying to at least be hunting a cache, and helped greatly to deal with the caching withdrawal I was dealing with.
Honestly, I don’t think that it could ever be feasible for me to cache from a wheelchair unless someone was way more proficient with a chair than I was. I found using the wheelchair physically exhausting. I also understand that there might be wheelchairs that are more outdoor friendly than the heavy clunker I was in. I’m so very thankful that I no longer need to use either the crutches or the chair, but also very thankful that geocachers care enough to think about handicapped cachers when placing their hides.

I can see the logs now…Went out to attempt this one thinking it was available in winter based on owner’s attributes, but the cache wasn’t stuck to a lamp post in the parking lot and since I was wearing only my flip-flops I couldn’t hike the trail, and anyway since I forgot my gloves I couldn’t possibly have dug through 2 inches of snow even if I had managed to get to GZ. Definitely NOT winter friendly. I’m NOT taking a DNF on this one since I didn’t really try, but I’ll post this note here to let everyone know the owner’s a moron.
I’m gonna save this “sample” log and use it, maybe as soon as this weekend! Thanks in advance gotta run for making my logging time easier. 😆 😆 😆
It is good to hear that you’re on the mend. Geocaching is great incentive to heal fast,and also good rehab! Don’t overdo it, listen to the Docs. The caches will be there when you are ready!
