Hey – I will have my coins at the picnic. Bring one of yours and we can trade.
Are you talking about the new tree frog coin at Geoswag.com? It’s cute!
There have been three multis that I have logged each step individually and one cache where I logged a bonus because that is the way the caches were set up. These are / were older ones hidden in the days when cache hiders were looking for ways to place something new and different and that probably wouldn’t get placed in the same way today – “?” being a prime example.
When I was completing “?”, I did a round trip once a month from home to the Racine / Kenosha area for each stage at about 120 miles each trip. With 6 or 7 stages (you do the math), you better believe I’m going to log each stage seperately. Another good example was “Need for Greed” where each stage was an ammo box with log book in a different park in Walworth County. It took an entire day to drive around and get them all – again it was 6 or 7 stages. Yeah, I think we deserved a smiley for each one.
The point of them was that you could stop at any time and only log the ones you completed, or you could keep going. But in essence they really were seperate caches. That’s not the same as logging each stage of a standard multi.

The first weekend in August found me ‘up north’ finishing off my tour of Wisconsin counties. What a great state in which to visit every county. My favorite one: 52-Pickup – WWF #13 (Superior Falls) – GCG5V5.
Imagine my surprise when I found the cache and saw that you were there just the day before. Too bad we couldn’t have coordinated that better!
Good luck!
Wiki article about jumping the shark that talks about Happy Days.
Garry Marshall even talks about it.

Weather for Kendallville is promising, with a chance of scattered thunderstorms on Thursday and Monday. Partly cloudy and mid-high seventies Friday-Sunday. W00t!
Yeah, well – turns out the only rain we saw was Saturday evening. A storm blew through while we were all eating at the restaurant, followed by a nice rainbow. It got the tents wet just at the point where they didn’t have time to dry off in time to pack up and leave the next morning.
Oh well, I guess I can’t complain since we didn’t see any rain during caching time.

Hey there, Jeff!
Looks like cache hiding day will be Aug 23 or 24. We will be picking one and announcing it soon.
We look forward to seeing you.
Yeah, I hate that lights off thing too. They did that to me at Mammoth Cave in Kentucky. Now whenever I go someplace like that, I always carry a flashlight in my pocket. Just knowing it is there makes that total blackness bearable.
I would go with you, but I will be out of town for a couple weeks. I second the suggestion of contacting Commander USN – he lives out there.

Not to mention the opportunity to score some island caches without hassle. 😀
YEP! Greyhounder and I were finally able to cross a couple close ones off our list this way.
I like caching in winter. This past winter stopped me cold (pun intended) however. Record snowfall interspersed with layers of ice gave me a lot of frustration, so I quit for a while. But usually I like it.
Actually, the main problem I have with winter caching is not the weather but the fact that the days are so short.
That’s incredible. Love it!

In my opinion (and my opinion only) alot of them have become glorified virtuals where alot of locations could support a regular geocache. If a regular geocache is allowed, I say place a regular geocache and give a really nice writeup on why it’s a unique and special location, or make it into a cool multi.
Good point. Here’s one still waiting for a visit: Ma & Pa Kettle (GC1DB6R). Have a look at the GC Terrain map of the area, it’s pretty cool.

SSSSHH!!!
I’m still hoping I get the chance to be FTF when I go camping up there next week.
Never mind. 😡
