The Agent ones we haven’t done/found are:
1, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12 and then the final.
The Dnf’s that we have in the area are Fishy Fishy Bite My Hook, Strawberry Commons, and View of Teddy Bears, we have a few others but those were mainly just quick attempts or they were missing and we haven’t been back to give them another look. Just thought I’d post this list to help see what everyone has.

Not sure I want to go now.. Don’t want Agent K1 and Vtwinspin to hear all the things I mutter about them as I search for one of their caches! 😳
Sounds like fun now with the cache owner along.

At the moment I still want to do this, only hitch is that the kids sing in church and church is at 9. However, church is in LaCrosse so we could join up with after that.

I may just have to tag along on this, have a few of those that we haven’t found yet. Although, we are slowly working on them.

I saw this posting earlier also and thought the same thing, didn’t want to sound like a smart aleck. Is this thread hijacking at it’s finest?

I’m hoping to fire up the jets for a few of these now that the snowmobiling season looks to be dead and the snow is clearing out. Don’t think I’ll make a large dent but hope I can go visit a few of these on the west coast.

Having done the maps for the local snowmobile club, the setup is the biggest deal. We went from printing 8,000 maps for 3 years to 2,000 maps for 1 one year and our cost went up, but the print shop said that if we limit our changes then our cost won’t be so great on the next year.
Bumperstickers? hmm… through it on magnetic stripping and tuck the logsheet behind it in a baggie and call it the Obvious cache!

Not to take away from this site, but their is a puzzle and a discussion on solving it going on at the Minnesota geocaching site that mirrors the discussion here.
http://mngca.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5275&highlight=puzzle+valley

Reason I bring that into the discussion is that someone there asked others to help solve the puzzle, while others chose brute force. Eventually the ftf was a person that actually solved it, but if you go to the cache page a lot of folks followed footsteps in the area to the cache afterward that day.

Our weirdest had to be one on the north side of LaCrosse, newly published cache and the last time we had been there the area was pretty clean. Got out of the vehicle and immediately found someones old xxx video collection (just the cases, yes I did have to check) but what was really wrong was the ahem (keeping it clean as this is a family site) toy that some lady must have left behind… then got over to the cache site and it looked like a hobo was living in the area. And to top it off, couldn’t find the cache, haven’t been back since. Did suggest a cache in trash out to the cache owner, would have done it ourselves but we had the kids with and didn’t want to expose them to that stuff.

I have a few from this past weekend to post, I only had my phone camera so not sure how they look when posted. How does one post photos? I looked earlier and didn’t see an area to upload/

[kc9gbo]

I’d love to complete it! Just to get it off my lists as the nearest cache unfound… and now another by Neshonic.. those do end up on my ignore list actually and one day I plan on hopefully completing the challenges. It is nice to have a few in our area that show up when looking at the maps to hopefully drive us to expand beyond our current area.

I see that someone requested archive as it didn’t fit guidelines (at least that’s what I think they were saying). I was looking at it thinking this must be the last locationless cache if I understand the definition of them.
I see that the powers that be approved it so I would assume that the maintenance log will disappear.

Edit for: change from maintenance to archive and to also say I looked up the person that requested archive is banned now.. first time I’ve found a banned profile on geocaching.

I have a feeling I know where Shrek and Fiona are coming from with their question and that was a question I had also so I wouldn’t be insulted as it is a valid question especially having a feeling as they are in our area and probably run into the some of the issues we have with caches. While we appreciate profilic hiders and the oppurtunity to pursue their caches, at times the hides are lackluster or have had maintenance logs posted and not followed up on before they are archived.
I may not have a ton of hides, but my goal is quality not quantity and every cache I place I try to make it so that at the end of the day you remember it when you log it.

I use internet on the trail frequently, didn’t think I would but I’ve found it comes in handy to check the cache status (I’m bad at updating pq’s), one time I was on a hike to a cache and I thought I’d look up the details and discovered it was archived about the time I arrived on location, decided to look anyways and found the cache!
Also, have used internet to look up answers to riddles (if you have cached in Hixon Forest you’ll know the cache I’m refering to).

My wife just was down there (and failed to do any caches 🙄 ). I had researched a couple that were easy for her to do, one was near the Bacardi Rum factory (they have a tour) and another was in the National Forest on the southeast part of the island on a road to an old radar station.
If she was here she’d recommend doing the National Forest and seeing the waterfalls, the problem she had finding caches was she was with her cousins and they all had to do a team thing and caching wasn’t high on their list and the other problem was she was using our handheld to find their way and it didn’t show roads real well so they couldn’t drive right to them like here at home.
