Congrats from us also! They did a couple of our caches on their way to the milemark.

Nate,
This is about as close as I can come up with:

We have a couple of these, one on our van and then one on our camper and the wife’s car (came with 2 stickers). So far we have only had one person log them and only because he was caching with us that day. We were hoping that the one for the camper would have been here before we left for vacation (it showed up later that day).
If you are in LaCrosse keep an eye out, my wife works at a Kwik Trip there so her car sits in their parking lot and she’s hoping somebody spots it.

We did a cache today in Praire DuChien that had me going, pulled in at the local veteran’s memorial and there is a tank sitting there. Decide to look at the gps and was relieved to see that the cache wasn’t near it (this time for once) but the hint after we found the cache was…. Magnetic That would have caused a stroke on me if it was on the tank.

Now that is neat, I know our kids would enjoy it as my front driveway is full of chalk drawings.

I wonder how many casual cachers that are just going out and doing a cache even know about the dropping of the requirements? I’m thinking they most likely don’t know about that.

I believe that most parks will allow dogs as long as they are on a leash.

Monthly update then, hopefully this means the Google Earth Kml file arrives today. I wish they’d get some of the hiccups the site has fixed though, hate typing out a log and then it acts up and I have to retype everything.

Per an announcement made this past week by the powers that be at Groundspeak, a new kml file for GoogleEarth will be made available on the next site update. That should be either today or sometime this week!!

Seems we found another cache this past week on accident while vacationing up north. Doing paperless and didn’t have a description of what we were seeking with, get near the location and gps was having trouble locking in, so we start scouting. Spotted a tree that had some logs laying against it, so off we went find the cache and away we go, although we were wondering why nothing matched up, but figured oh well, that’s a typical been moved cache. Get back to the campsite, manage to log in to geocaching to log the cache and find out it was an ammo box we were supposed to find! Not what we found!

@ Timberline Echoes,
Coming up that way camping next week, hoping to get some caches in the area. Looking forward to visiting the northwoods!

Try to always plan ahead and read the page, or at least pull it up on the Blackberry and read it at the site after finding a parking spot. I like do to that as a few of my first caches were multi’s with numbers for a final. Missed the final numbers and later on needed to go back and get the numbers again.. “sigh” And to make matters worse the one number I needed the cache kept disappearing so when I got there it was gone!! So I learned my lesson. Plus, I’ve learned that some conniving owners like to hide hints in the description.

I was having problems earlier, tried to log some t.b.’s and record a few cache finds. Ended up having to right notes saying I dropped t.b.’s as everytime I went to send it errored out on me.

Sad thing is I followed everything he said, and to make it worse I said to myself, “sounds about typical, especially the passwords!”
