And you are in a “target rich environment” for the Lonely Cache Game! 😉
We have some maintenance to do in Kiekafer Park. I may be able to go out on Saturday morning for awhile. There are 7 caches in the park. I’ll pm you my phone #.
The BOD might want to start charging for WGA membership, so we can have a bail fund, for COs that get penned up! 😆
A film canister? How do you blow THAT up? 😮
Good luck at the station, Todd!
Congrats, BigJim! The tongue doesn’t bother me but I won’t share the photo with Linda! 😉
Sorry… no deerskin 1K Klub jacket for you. The cotton ones haven’t even arrived yet! 😀
It should be OK, since you have 7 days to file the LCG submission for verification. As long as it shows up on the list, which should be out any second, hopefuly! 😉
Welcome to the 1K Klub! 😀
Nice out-of-state milestone, Hammer! 8)
WTG, CJ! 😀
Zillmer Trail has plenty of parking but you need a State Parks Sticker. Mauthe has a small lot on the west side of the lake, and another one down the road to the south, on the west side of the road. Again, State Park Stickers needed.
Pretty sure all areas are open to hunting, though. I cached around Mauthe Lake last November and saw several hunters along the public trails. Wear blaze orange no matter WHERE you hike during the deer season! ❗Happy hiking!! 😀
Thought I saw a flash of light up that way…WTG! 8)

And congrats to BakRdz! 😀
Congrats! Still plenty to the north, if your traveling through sometime! 😉
I wonder who’s hosting the LCG Event this year. 😉
Good type of cache for a milestone!
Congrats! 😀
A ‘sentinel’ cache is kinda like a checkpoint. In order to log the find, you would need to have posted, say, 50 Did Not Find (DNF) logs before you get credit for the find (There would be an ACTUAL container at the posted coordinates).
But since Groundspeak (GC) (geocaching.com) has banned ALRs (Alternate Logging Requirements) from the game, this kind of cache is no longer possible. The 50 DNFs would be “optional”, and logs COULD be deleted at the discretion of the CO (Cache Owner). This, in turn, might make the cache less pleasing to find, with the risk of having their log deleted for not having 50 DNFs.This idea was mentioned to me several years ago, by an experienced cacher, that had seen this ‘sentinel’ cache system in another state. About the time that I was planning one, GC banned the ALR caches, so it never happened.
Think about it… if you had a cache placed 1 mile from your home, but you couldn’t log it as found, wouldn’t you seek enough caches, as well as posting your DNFs, to log the find?
Maybe not, but there is no shame in logging ANY DNF, once, twice, thrice, on an attempt to find the hide!
I consider logging a DNF as a compliment to the hiding skill of the CO. Or, in the other direction, that the cache is missing! I have spoken to cachers at Events that have DNF’d a cache of ours in the previous week but didn’t log the DNF. Had they logged it, it might have saved some frustration on the next few cache seekers that DNF.I don’t know the number of DNFs we have at this moment. But I logged one as DNF twice recently, and I’m about ready to hunt it again!
Wish me luck!
