What’s blue and floats in Lake Michigan? Uhmmm…me! Well, not so much floating as running in, sitting down, running out! 3 words: OH MY GOSH!!!
I got stuck by a train so missed the masses in the Lake, but did get there in time to park, and do my thing before the wrist bands were all gone. (Actually, the guy who gave it to me said he was happy I went in…most people who get there late just watch then leave) I didn’t drive all that way to leave!
After I dried off I headed to the restraunt to meet the rest of those who went to the lake. I was sadly surprised to only find 5 people there. I really thought there would be more people. Oh well! Thanks to Folk Trakers for posting this event! I never would have known about it if not for them. And I’m very happy to hear that Mr Meister is one of the originals! Thanks also for advise on how to warm up…if only it were working!
Thanks also to Trudy & the Beast and Greyhounder for showing up to support those in it for the swim. I’m told that MR Anderson was there but got there late and left…well, hmmmm….
To anyone wondering…IT WAS A BLAST and if I’m still around next year I’m going back!
I left my suit in the trunk…I wonder if there are icicles on it…LOL!01/01/2005 at 6:33 am in reply to: It appears jthorson has reached the 1,500 find milestone! #1756603Congrats on hitting another big one sir! It’s always fun travelling and walking the trails with you. Can’t say I’ll ever scale a mountain with you again, okay so maybe it was just a bluff…but…and yes, I’d do it agan in a heartbeat!!! Thanks for all you give us mister!
~LinusI just read the article…yippee! Go geocaching! sidenote: did anyone else notice that they mentioned the cache we all laughed about? “GHAR”
If only that were all they had to worry about in that region. Thanks for making me smile when thinking of the area…even if only for a moment.
~LinusCongrats on hitting 700…sorry I missed that news earlier. It wasn’t in the logs I read. It’s good to see family members caching together!!! Keep up the searchin’…Happy Caching!
~Linus and TravellingFlyboyHey…what happened to my confused newbies? I know I saw them there trying to figure out how to use the new GPSR’s they bought! Someone has to help them out…any one of us has an opinion on how to best do that. So…I guess the group has grown and there are now 11 of them!
11 confused newbies
10 cammo micros
9 travel bug tags
8 mb of memory
7 days/week of service
6 AA batteries
5 days for shipping
4 magnetic cases
3 trilight titanium keychains
2 topo downloads
and 1 new GPSRUhmmmm…what he said!

You’re welcome!
People generally want their bugs to move around to as many caches as possible, and the idea is to put miles on them as well. As such, sometimes a holder will log a bug in and out so the owners know where the bugs are travelling, and so that the bugs log the miles for their journeys. Then when they leave them in a cache…well, you know.
Depending on what I find when I read a bug’s page, I either carry it with me to all the caches, logging as I go…or I leave it in the bus and only log when I drop it.
I own a bug that travels with me to all the caches I visit. I drop it into the caches, then pick it up with a note. The bug gets the miles and the cache log, but it doesn’t add to my personal bug total. If I am caching with a group of people who haven’t held the bug yet I give them a chance to grab it for a cache or two before I pick it back up and log for the day.
It’s done by different people for different reasons, but these are just some that come to mind.
Just one more thing I love about my Magellan! The mapsend software that I was given when I purchased my GPSR didn’t lead me astray. There was only one time when I had to refer to my WI Atlas & Gazetteer, but after locating the intersection there and going back to the mapsend program I saw that the point was there all along…I just missed it. I don’t know if it’s because I have a newer version or what.
On the sixth day of Christmas GPS City brought to me
Six confused newbies
5 ammo boxes
4 magnetic cases
3 trilight titanium key chains
2 topo downloads
and 1new GPSRDane County finished and happily on its way to Brian.

Note that Batavia is a bit screwy … Cty A and School Dr. are both east-west roads about a half mile apart, so I plotted a spot half way between them on the main north-south road (Hwy 28).
I just looked at my Wisconsin Atlas & Gazetteer…Cnty A and Hwy 28 are the same road at the point you’re looking for. At the intersection w/ School Dr the co-ords are:
N 43 35.658
W 088 03.023
Hope that helps -
