Ah, another big milestone from one of those Top Ten folks. Congratulations Marc, I’m sure the soup was tasty!
No, I sent it back to the kitchen and asked them to heat it up!
Hi, and welcome to a great family activity, and addiction!
If you have not figured it out yet, there are a tons of caches everywhere, and many of them are small containers with nothing in them.
For the kids, who like to paw through the contents of a container, you will have to figure out what’s what.
Look for KFC – kid friendly cache. Means a bigger container and one designed with kids in mind.
Appleton has a lot of them. The Bubolz nature center, north of Appleton has quite a few. Involves some walking along trails.
Otherwise, park caches. Usually it’s “Find the cache, then play on the swings and things”.
A reverse process would probably work better.
Each member of the group get his own PQ, and sends it to you. You combine them all, and create a master.
It will probably mean some in the group have already found some of the caches …. but hey! That’s the beauty of caching in a group. You get to revisit some, and heckle the ones looking for them.
Yes, and no, and maybe …….
It will work okay for you, but the second person will probably have to hand edit the file, because GSAK will not recognize their finds.
Your PQ picks out your ‘found it’ log, and the last five others. So if you send me the PQ, and my finds are all more than 5 finds ago, GSAK will not highlight any of the caches for me.
If I happen to be one of the last five to find the cache, it will be highlighted.
me too ……….!
Thanks everyone.
And I was glad to have lots of company from many of you along the way.
Seth … when and where Friday?
Congratulations, to Brian, Lisa and CJ.
Glad to be a part of the big push………
1 and a 2 for me……
Welcome to the Club!
I’m planning on Trudy camping somewhere.
And dinner sounds great.
It’s snowing outside. Ground turning white!

Oh yeah, I forgot. I also managed to get a first to find while down there Friday. We were going to one of Marc’s puzzle caches. As we were walking down a hill I noticed a container hidden up under a lookout, but the coordinates still said we were over 100 feet away. With that I proceeded to give Marc crap about his coordinates. He told me that it was not the cache, but I found it said “geocache” on the side. We signed the logbook inside the container, which I believe said that it was hidden on April 7th. Obviously it was not published because it was too close to Marc’s hide, but I thought it was awesome that I got a FTF on an unpublished cache down in the valley. It was one of many highlights of the day.
I tracked down the owner, a student in Oshkosh, and asked if he would like me to move my puzzle so he could fit his in. He responded, saying not to bother.
Well, there goes a strange FTF…………
Perception.
It’s not what I say, but what you hear me say, that counts.
Or, to put it another way. It’s not how I run my Puzzle Tours, it’s how you think I do.
Brian, of B-squared is logging his caches today. You can see them on the recent logs page.
He had all of them solved on his own, except for two. One was zoesbrother morse code, which Benny and I had hunted a couple of times without success. Well, with a hint from the owner, we were bound and determined to find it. Brian along for a free one here.
The other was my own puzzle – Car Repairs. Gave it to him as a freebie at the end of the day.
Otherwise, I was the driver, to get him to ground zero. After that he was on his own. Benny and I would give him a hint if he got stuck.
So ……..
Welcome, all round ………
