Thanks! It is back to being fun again! I am glad I picked the Holy Hand grenade for this milestone. A worthy cache! 😈

[Miata]

I was there for that one yesterday and had to point it out that she past the milestone. Way to go Kat….and Don on the milestone! 😀

Alright! Someone else is giving a Tour!

Count me in …….

Miata will probably want to go as well, since he never caches his own local area!

Didn’t you both just clear the Fox Cities on May 19?

I got 70 caches that day, but have 500 left in a 16 mile radius!

Considering the gyrations I’m going through to get 2 new puzzles caches published and making sure there is “significant GPS use” so no one can find them without a GPS, the content of this thread just has me shaking my head.

On the one hand, I have to do everything I can to make sure a phantom geocacher who elects to try finding an unknown but hinted at spot (in an image on a cache listing) in a large State Park by “search and destroy” methodology, is not able to,

While on the other hand I’m reading that you can get your smiley count up if you choose to do so, even if it goes against WGA and GC stated policy and that’s acceptable by some and must have been approved by the reviewers.

I did some of the temps at the campout. Some of them could easily have been done with just the map and the clue. Hmmm, “Red Bird”, I wonder where that cache is, guess I better get out my GPS…

This after reading the thread about the archived but ofter visited cache at GC.com HQ that you can still log a find on, but that you need to request coordinates for which is also against GC policy, and so on…

And the reviewers are wondering why I’m confused about their strict interpretations?

In the final analysis, it’s what you get out of the sport. I get more out of placing that finding which is why after 3 years and 200+ placed caches, most of those puzzles, I am still not in the 1K club and maybe never will be.
But some people like numbers and the competition that goes with it. Some people like FTF’s too (I know a spot where you can get as many of those as you want as well). Do what makes you feel better and enjoy the act of getting them.

I enjoy making MEMORABLE caches and will keep making them even though, on occasion, the fun fizzles as I jump through the 3rd or 4th hoop.
But I won’t be stopping anytime soon. As Adrock says “I got more product than Ron Popeil”

For what it’s worth Alex, I plan to do your book of armaments cache as my 2000th find Saturday. If I do another WGA function again, I plan on only meeting people and not looking for temps.

Garmin III. I can’t remember the last time I fired up the Garmin V.

Congrats Miata!
BTW, your avatar seems to be broke.

I’ll have to work on that. 😉

Way to go! You guys rock….. 8)

[Miata]

It has been fun doing a couple of mega days in a row. 120+ caches in 2 days. I missed the camp out to attend my daughters UW Eau Claire graduation.

#2000 will come in June! 😉

[Miata]

You da man! I imagine that you will hit 8000 this next week huh? I will do 2000 by years end, or at least that’s my goal. 😳

Sorry I missed out. Stupid family crap kept me at home till early afternoon. Hopefully, I can make it on the next tour!

For the record, I have never done, and never will do cut and paste logs. But KUDOS to those who do! Especially when done on caches found during a tour. 🙂

“Geocaching Express Logger” isn’t exactly cut and paste, but will look that way without a little creativity. It is hard to do a 40 or 50 cache day using your PDA and remember meaningful things about each cache visited.

Case in point was my last outing where I did like 15 caches that had walk in the park in the title. Now keep those sorted out in your head. 😆

[Miata]

On the 8th day…..what’s wrong with you??? They put out park and rides…. 😀 And life was good.

I have no idea what I just saw. It was kind of on the edge of the light/dark line in the back ground. It walked/crawled left to right. I thought perhaps a crawfish but it was bigger than the leaves that were drifting by.

I saw a mud puppy last night that just started walking away from laying under the camera. Creepy…

[Miata]

They are having some problems. He claims it will be up all Sunday night.

[Miata]

Clarity was much better this morning and yesterday.

The owner says “we have moved the camera further away from the bottom. We’ll lower it tonight or tomorrow morning. Also, the boat traffic has picked up.”
