Congrats on 100!
Bec
I was at work — we were having our annual safety training. Everyone was being sort of goofy, when the president of the company (it was also his birthday) and one of the program directors came in with the news. We finished the inservice — I remember that I was quite distracted and wondering what the heck was coming next. My supervisor kept giving me things to do, so I couldn’t actually get any real information until I went home for lunch. I was also in the process of getting all the paperwork completed to get my truck — and I remember wondering if it was even worth it. I was glued to the TV for quite some time after that, and whenever in the car, the radio was on public radio or a news channel.
In October 2002 I visited the site near Shanksville, PA. where one of the planes crashed. The place is a memorial and it has quite an impact if you visit there. It all seemed so strangely surreal, but actually being where so many died due to terrorism — what a reality check.
I couldn’t bring myself to visit the site of the Twin Towers, or the Pentagon. Not then — I don’t know about now.
When I was out and about yesterday, I noticed a generally lack of acknowlegement for the date. Only the Jefferson County courthouse had its flag at half mast. All the wonderful tributes to America seem to be gone — how quickly we become indifferent.
Reading the logs of the 9/11 virtual touched me (but I am a bit sensitive to that stuff). What a wonderful way to mark a milestone cache.

I like this one too — I remember that commercial and absolutely loved it! That was about the time that everyone was getting GPSrs and having no clue what to do with them (and when I could have been heard to say, “why on earth would I ever buy one of those things?”)
Although, I’m rather fond of the geocaching team name greyhounder

Don’t know — when I purchased it (and a few others) I bought it only thinking to use it as a geocache.
Magnetic pill container?

(laughing my most evil and delicious laugh…)

I guess my Teeny Tiny Ralph cache would fit in that category, eh?

I do believe this hat has now become the “mascot” of Wisconsin Geocaching!
Bec
Perhaps we have discovered The Sorting Hat (sorry, have to throw in a little Harry Potter here) discarded by an unsuspecting & unknowing Muggle.
I wanna try it on — I want to be a Slytherin!
Bec
Great job — congratulations!
Bec
I’d love to hear some recommendations as well. I’m going to be in the general area as well (well, Phillips, but I’m willing to drive to a good cache), and there’s some nice shopping in Boulder Junction…..
Bec
The hat does not belong to Lightning Bugs….the mystery continues….
Bec
Congratulations!
Bec
Great job! Congratulations!
Bec
Congratulations Jeff! I only completed 42.8% of this series. That Got You Covered One was my stumper!
This is a great series though! You start walking along the trail (I started from the Fort end) and suddenly you notice that you have walked away from the city. A very nice path for everyone!
Bec
Amazing!
