You could call me a fair weather cacher as I MUCH rather prefer city caches in the summer to those in the sticks for just this reason. I do most of my grassy/woodsy cachin in the winter……granted sometimes the snow makes that problematic.
I hope you continue to improve.Well I got my Bronze pin / sticker in less than a week after I submitted the information….cool beans! Now I need to find an Earthcache in a third state AND develop one of my own Earthcaches in order to earn the Silver pin.
That said I’m in the process of submitting an Earthcache now. This is actually quite fun (and educational). Hopefully it will pass muster with all the parties involved and you will all be seeing it soon. I’m very excited about the location and the information the listing will offer.You are attempting to cut your teeth on a Ranger Boy hide…his are tough. You may want to cache a bit longer before attempting this one. He is well known for his difficult style of hiding…..This too stumped me when I was a new cacher and after about a hundred finds I came back to it and fared better…..
That said, you were correctly at ground Zero.Congrats….was beginning to wonder if this was in the cards….
😯 WOW 😯
Those are some serious numbers….and I thought my boy and I did OK just topping 100 finds. I think I need to hook up with some of youz next year!
That said I did manage to blow about $150 on gas……Here’s what I got using Mozilla 1.7

I remember you sitting there, but I didn’t know if you were a geocacher or not, much less one from Wisconsin! Ah well…
My bad we forgot to put our badges on after the little caching trip we were on……..but then again a guy with in camo shorts near geobash what were the odds? We’ll catch ya next time….
And as for a return trip to the bash…..hummm. It sure would be nice if it moved one or two hundred miles closer….but then again I still haven’t made my way down to Fort Wayne……I hear tell there may be a cache or two down there….BTW it took me HOURS and HOURS to log all my finds. Suddenly the “Copy Paste” method of logging looks very appealing.

I showed up Saturday morning. The only Wisconsin cacher I saw all weekend was kbraband, and the closest other cachers were ClikChik and GeekBoy.
That’s not exactly true….I ate lunch with my son right next you you at Taco Bell…..I would have introduced myself but I didn’t wish to interrupt your conversation.
Also forgot to add to my above post……Two snakes, Poison Ivy, Falling from a bridge and a narrow escape from a large falling tree limb…….
WTG…Nothing can keep a good cacher down……now about that book who dies?

Thanks and look for me to find a few of your caches in a bit…now where’s the final on that puzzle cache of yours?
Glad I could help out.
Finals on my puzzles … depends on which one you mean … and you must do them! 😈
“Harrington: Risen to Power” … a short walk, not out of your way at all.
“Looking Back in Time” … a short drive, less than 10 min.No, I want the location of the archived ones so I can log those too……maybe something archived a few years ago….:twisted:

I’m from the area … your best bet would Kohler-Andrea state park in Sheboygan … http://www.dnr.state.wi.us/org/land/parks/specific/ka/
It would be the closest campsites to Port Washington … plus it’s on Lake Mich. … the only trick would be if you can get a spot there with such short lead time … you should contact them. (I year or so from now there will be closer camping at Harrington Beach in Belgium, Wi … but that’s just starting to be constructed).
About equal distance (or maybe a tad closer) is Waubedona County Park … which is very basic (no bathrooms) … is very inland, but has great fishing on the Milw. River right outside your tent flaps … it’s a little know camping area and would likely have openings … but again nothing fancy, you pull off the paved road by a few feet, setup your tent and your pretty much on your own for everything else you need. http://www.co.ozaukee.wi.us/Parks/WaubedoniaCampsites.htm
I’m hoping that by camping during the week my odds are a bit better…I know I should have gotten my plans firmed up sooner…
If you think of any other sites (even privately owned) please let me know I’ll check with Kohler-Andrea tonite and see whats available….right now it looks like I can still get some sites for the days I need though….Thanks for your help……
*EDIT* OK I’m squared away. Thanks and look for me to find a few of your caches in a bit…now where’s the final on that puzzle cache of yours?

Thank you.100 and a few caches found, a few wrong turns (and one missed toll), $30.71 in found money and meeting some of Wisconsins finest cachers…..My son and I had a good time.
8)My wife got injured when a swing broke in a city park…ya you can’t sue them. There are no liabilities as far as I can see….quite frankly the government (state and local) has dotted their i’s and crossed their t’s to make sure that can’t happen.
