    Congratulations!. I must agree that the number of finds pales in comparison.

    Happy Birthday kiddo. Here’s looking at many more.

    WTG! I should be there in about 12 more years. Keep it up.

    My experience was similar to RSplash40’s. I was looking for The Edge by Gr8Eyes about a mile from home.

    It was hot and humid late in the afternoon. The sky was getting dark to the west because of a storm coming in. I was really trying to make this a quick find as it was getting dark very fast. I’m swatting mosquitoes, wiping sweat, and tripping a lot on the sticks and vines. Of course I’m in heavy tree cover so I am having a tough time finding GZ. At last count there were 50,001 hiding places. I felt a couple of drops of rain, so now I’m really trying to hurry. I tripped and went down. I grabbed a branch to help pull myself up with, and it broke, tearing open a bees nest in the other end. What did I do once I got up? I stood there like an idiot trying to see what was flying around. They were a little bigger than a house fly and I thought that they were some kind of fly. Big mistake. I seem to get in more trouble when I think. I got smacked once on my back by what I figured was a bee that I just POed so I still thought they were flies. I go to rub my back on a tree a bit were I got stung and that was when those little buggers really started nailing me. I pulled my shirt off and started swinging it around as I ran the 200 feet through thorns, raspberry canes, vines, and three different types of burrs. I hit the road and ran right past my truck as I ran down the center line. I still can’t believe I wasn’t hit by a car because I never looked for traffic. I started slowing down about a hundred yards down the road and thought I should be safe now. I threw my shirt in the ditch. I didn’t know if there were any bees wrapped up in it and I didn’t want to find out. I don’t remember how many stings, but I remember my back feeling like it was on fire. I never want to go through that again.

    I got my shirt the next day, and the cache. I went very slowly while looking for it.

    WTG Girls. Keep piling them on.

    in reply to: kmhiker’s 100th #1908188

    WTG km. Keep working on it. You have a ways to go yet to clear out W.B. I don’t think I’ll ever clear it out. I’ might be out that way sometime tomorrow.

    in reply to: Thanks to all for finding our caches. #1908184

    WTG Bill. I have found quite a few of your caches already and have a bunch more that I need to find. I am debating right now if I should come out your way this weekend or head to West Bend. I have dnfs in both areas that I need to clean up. Keep up the nice job.

    No paper with a web address on it?

    in reply to: Miata learns to count! #1908125

    WTG Miata. Keep on counting.

    in reply to: GPS Weakening? #1908096

    I agree with Cheeto. I think there is a lot more to lose economically if the satellites aren’t replaced. I think you will see private industry kick in monetarily along with foreign nations. I just hope it won’t require a converter box. 🙄

    in reply to: Grills #1908029

    I got a way from charcoal years ago. I like the idea of firing the thing up and it’s ready to go right away. Plus, I can put it into the garage as soon as I turn the thing off. After the first couple of uses on brand new lava rocks or ceramic, meat tastes like it was cooked over charcoal. The one I use most often is a Charbroil (I think that’s the brand). It’s 20+ years old. What I like most about it is that it has a fold down tray in the front so it takes up less storage space. I need to get a new burner for it this week. I still have the charcoal grill for a back up and for the big bar-b-qs where I’m cooking a lot of food.

    Thank you to the WGA and volunteers for a wonderful event. I had a great time caching with friends, catching up with old friends, and meeting new ones. Good job.

    One of my favorites was the Wizard of Oz series by the Goldiediggers. This would take the better part of a day or maybe a bit more depending on how good or lucky you are.
