If you want numbers… SE.
If you want a uphill/downhill workout, SW.
If you want to cache and relax, NW.
NE is on the todo list!
That’s the nice thing about this state… a variety of cache experiences!
C’mon, Lonely cachers… where are those tales of adventure?

Thanks, all, for the kudos! The King of Selzzup is very benevolent, as are the peoples of the whole Realm of WGA, no matter what logo-flag they are flying!
When I started playing the LCG in November, it was shortly after a forum thread about “Goalsetting”. So, I decided to limit my caching in November to Lonely Caches. I didn’t know enough about the game to be competitive but after about 7 or 8 lonelies, I realized that the locations that these caches are in are very unique! By finding them (and making sure they are physically there) it makes for better caching for all.
I also knew that the winter snows were coming and it would be colder and wetter soon.
The goal in December was to try to finish in the top 5 for the year. The deep snow made it tougher, but it worked out in the end.
January’s goal? Find some lonelies, and some regulars, and hide another series of caches.
We have been working on containers since before Christmas to put together a nice grouping of caches for winter-friendly finds. Attending “Only the Lonely” was the other goal for the month.
Competition is OK but achieving goals is more satisfying for us. If some sniping and banter occur, it is part of the game.
For those that don’t want to submit the LCG finds, that’s great. But don’t eliminate them from the list. The locations are fantastic!That would be nice! Although my primary focus will be to get the #’s for you! 🙂
I should be driving through Red Granite tomorrow. If noone else has gotten you the #’s, I’ll try to “get a fix” for you! 🙂
Congrats on our “ditto”! 😀
Congrats to you on 1K! Did you see any cattle there? 😯
Not crazy at all!
D-cards bring in business and cost the merchant very little! They know that 80-90% of your money is better than 0!
It also makes it easier to place a cache on private property, when you show a business owner income vs. expense.
Our TB Exchange is at a truck stop. When I showed the owner how it worked, he said he would be stupid NOT to give permission! He also donated a doorprize for our Event in October.
We stop there with a printout occassionally to let him know how many cachers have stopped, and we highlight the positive comments.
I think a geocaching ID card is an excellent idea. Why not pose the question to the candidates? Now’s the time…
I jinxed someone today!
Heard it on the radio; a kid had to be rescued from… you guessed it: his tongue was stuck to a metal pole!
😀 😯 😀 😯 😀 😯 😀 😯 😀 😯 😀 😯 😀 😯 😀 😯
What about the old “lick your lips and press them against a metallic object outside when it’s below zero” test? Haven’t tried that one myself for about 45 years… any takers? 😯
We’re working on it… 😯 !
Yes, Your Majesty! Lax your security! It is cruel and inhuman to dig graves in the Land of Standing Stones in this biting cold.
We would hate to build funeral pyres, as well, although the heat would be a comfort! 😯Keep in mind that a few cachers (who shall remain nameless) will find GZ while hiding a cache, but post the coordinates on the proximity border, usually 25 feet away. But if they are on the east proximity, for example, the cache COULD be 40-50 feet from the container. And considering varients in GPS units, you could be 50-60 feet away! Supposedly that adds to the thrill of the hunt. I find it very irritating!
I only use the proximity rule if I want a land feature to provide cover, like a tree or wall. We like to hide caches to be FOUND, not just LOOKED FOR! 🙂(GC1CY6G) “D”
That’s it… D. 🙂
