  • in reply to: The Mother of All Breakfasts Call for Volunteers #1737146

    I’m on call that weekend — but got my fingers crossed that I might be able to attend. If so, I will volunteer to bring “something”.

    Great profile Cathunter!! I honestly don’t even know what mine says, or if I even put anything there! I have to go check now…

    Before geocaching….WAS there a time before geocaching?…..

    In addition to working a bazillion hours, I spend my non-geocaching time (even before there was a geocaching time) with retired racing greyhounds. I have volunteered at the adoption kennels, meet & greets, dog fairs, and attend greyhound “conferences” around the country. Now, through geocaching, I have begun fostering greyhounds — getting them used to homes before they go to their permanent homes.

    And let’s see — putter around in my yard and work on my house (new, fabulous, mondo deck coming soon!)

    I’m also really involved in my community’s Relay For Life. I participate as a team captain and have just recently joined the committe — we’re organizing a health fair!

    And about a million little hobbies here and there too — still trying to teach myself to play the guitar. My ADD tends to sway my attention from most things though (somehow, geocaching seems to not be affected.)

    Ummm, I write — a lot. Not that you can tell by my scary posts, but one of my college degrees is in writing (I write good! hee hee!) Mostly prose, usually fiction, but sometimes I have a poem bubble out.

    Oh, and! I’m in graduate school (forever!) I’m getting my master’s degree in Safety! That’s pretty cool!

    During the nice times of year — usually May through October, I spend as many weekends as possible in Northern WI where my family has a cabin on a lake. Can’t wait to find all the caches in that area!!!!

    mmmmm, I think that might be it….

    Cool thread!

    Not sure if I’ve got it figured out yet as to how to post photos, but the water is slowly approaching my home. I can see the Bark River from my back yard — and the lawn is quite soggy. Anyone who has been to Bark River Cache knows what a pretty walk that it — right now it would be a nice rafting adventure!!

    Due to the cruddy weather, I haven’t been caching, or really out of the house, since the campout. Today I was getting out of my car and found a tick hanging out on my car door interior. Must have been a souvenir from the campout!!

    in reply to: Rino Owners: Did you see ME? #1754716

    That is so cool! I don’t have a Rino, but I just had to post how cool I thought this was!

    I was really entertained at the campout when the announcement was made over the FRS radios that someone had lost a Rino. To those not in the know, that sounded pretty funny…

    This has been a good discussion for someone (like me) who is just starting to place caches.

    My biggest worry is that my caches will be lame. And I really hope that if one of mine is, you will be just as honest as you are here and let me know.

    A few weeks back I was trying to rush to put out a whole bunch of hides, just so there were more caches in Jefferson County. But I slowed myself down so that I could really get a chance to evaluate what I was doing. I still plan on more hides in my area, but some will have to be of the challenging hide variety, and therefore may take longer in the planning stages.

    And I agree, it’s nice to have this forum for voicing opinions!

    in reply to: The Hike or the Hide? #1747036

    I like both kinds!

    I am using those principals as I place my own caches. I tried to make my Bark River Cache a nice hike in a neat area, but not a hard find. Ralph, on the other hand, is not that interesting of an area, but I think it’s a little bit of a challenging find.

    in reply to: Bugs #1746849

    Yeah, there were a few. I even caught one trying to crawl into my ear! Got to see a variety of ticks too. But I was not stingy with the DEET and used a bug-unfriendly soap each morning, so even though I found a few crawling on me, I didn’t have any attached to me!

    in reply to: greyhounder gets firsts 100! #1754732

    Thanks everybody!!! I was hoping to get to 100 before the campout, but you know, it was extra special getting to it at the campout. It was at Bag O’ Gold.

    It was great meeting so many of you (and finally starting to recognize some folks even!) at the campout. I had a great time! I think I really like this camping thing!

    And number 400 — I think I can get there this year yet…..
