Congratulations, Diane! I was honored to do a few of them with you.

Oh, looking for weird people, hey !???

Comedy aside, I’m interested. Live in the Appleton area, but Madison is a ripe area (lots of caches to do), so a road trip down there is fine with me.

Well, dang! Another year has gone by, and caching has made Zuma a year (or quite a few!) younger!

😀 Congratulations!!!!!

Well, 22 minutes for Big Stick to come up with the answer.

And 33 minutes for Jeremy to …….

Congratulations to all of you!

The Fox cache is in an area where poison ivy would grow – shady, wet, etc. I do not remember seeing any, but then, since I do not have reaction to it, I usually do not look for it.

Thread stealers at work here – go where you all belong!

[marc_54140]

😆 Ah……yes……..the strain!

Which is my next planned road trip to Appleton I have planned my next caching spree around the about 12 puzzle caches I have solved in that area….

Wow! Twelve whole puzzles! Are you kidding?!!?

[marc_54140]

Oh, yeh….forgot to mention: do the easy ones!

Planning is usually for when you leave your home territory. At home, I pick caches up in dribbles as the time allows. That means no big numbers, unless you have been letting things slide for a while.

Multis and long hikes complicate things, but I still want to get them off my list.

Puzzles are another matter. You can sit at home and solve a bunch of them. Then, off on a road trip to find them.

Pre-planning your day is the biggest item.

Download a pocket query for the are you think you want to cache in. Always – I repeat ALWAYS – cover a bigger area than you plan on. Perhaps a couple of PQs will be in order.

Load those waypoints into a mapping program, such as M/S Streets & Trips, and look at where the caches are. Zero in on where you want to go, and pick out the caches you want to try.

After looking at the mapping program, you might find it handy to open GSAK, and create a list of caches in the order that you want to do them.

GSAK has a Usort column that can be used to create this list.
