Dave,
Did you also have a program for counting counties too?
I might have something like that…
Please give it a whirl and see if it works for you!
Wow – I thought it was going to be just a Wisconsin thing, but it’s not!
Very fun to play with – thanks!

What’s the use of haveing a place to suggest a site, if it doesn’t matter anyways, because you know the event is more likely going to happen south of Eau Claire anyways.
Now that’s not really fair seeing as how both of the last two camp-outs were held north of Eau Claire (if you draw a line across the state, Peninsula State Park is indeed north of EC).
Congrats on the milestone! Hope we can meet up soon!
I got a reply this evening and he says he will take them out and place them all somewhere else. Hopefully, his word is reliable.
I will continue to monitor the situation. 8)
I have a geocoin stuck there too.
I met the kids that placed this cache at an event last summer. They were nice, and enthusiastic, but young (teenagers). You email them and I’ll email them, and maybe we can get them to do something about this cache and the things stuck in it.
My poor coin. First it got trapped in an ammo can that was crushed and couldn’t be opened, now it is in this weird geocache limbo. TBH1N5[/url]
OK – last chance people. In one week I am going to offer the sale of the rest of the 2006 geo-campout coins to the main GC.com geocoin forum and I expect they will sell out then. There are only about 60 left. If anyone wants any more of them, now is the time to let me know!

I noticed some of your logs and was wondering if this is what you were up to. Guess I was right – great job Ralph!

once you find it you take somthing and leave somthing there and put it back the way you found it. I guess there is like a paper log with it or somting. then once your home you log it as proof you found it. Is this right?
Hey Jimmy
Sound like you have the jist of it pretty good. Just a few clarifying points so you can avoid nome newbie mistakes:
1. Signing the paper log in the cache is the true proof of your find. Most people also log online as well, but not all. The online log is a nice way to share your experience with the geocaching community and also lets people know that the cache is OK. OTOH, if you *don’t* find the cache, an online DNF (did not find) also provides valuable feedback about a cache that is potentially missing. (Of course, some caches have lots of DNFs just because they are hard to find, not because they are missing.)
2. Trade even, trade up, or don’t trade at all. Trading stuff in a cache is optional. If you do take something, leave something of equal or greater value. So many people trade out good stuff and leave junk which leads to the degredation of the cache contents and isn’t fair to future finders. Trade item value is subjective of course, but a good rule of thumb is to think to yourself: “Would I be happy finding this here?” vs “Should I really be putting this in the garbage instead?” Stuff especially not to leave: food (attracts animals), anything broken or dirty, liquids.
3. Pay attention to the cache rating (those little stars on the cache page). Too many people starting out choose to try a difficult cache, don’t find it, then get discouraged. Stick to 1-2 stars to begin with. Good luck and have fun!
*shhhhhhhhh*
Let’s keep how great Door County is to ourselves. There’s enough traffic up there as it is!
Cache on Honeybunnies!
Catch ya on the trails again some time!
The coin in question (FYI):
Well, it depends on which coin you are talking about. If it is the 2005 Wisconsin state coin, Tie has the list. If it is a WGA camp-out coin, I have the list. If it is another coin altogether, the best place to start would be the person you got the coin from. If that fails, contact groundspeak.
