  • in reply to: FTF to total finds ratio #1929844

    I don’t keep track of first to finds nor do I really try for them. I like to let someone else prove the coordinates are good before I go out. I would guess that I probably have about 40 ftf’s and 2900 finds. I do think though that my second and third to finds probably number greater than 500. I find most of the new caches in my area in the first few days after they are published.

    This was the first cache that we ever found in Michigan. I remember it well since both of our grandsons were sure it was a skirt lifter and raced to the nearest lampost only to be tricked by this one. We all had a good laugh and to this day they still race each other to every lampost hide.

    Congratulations Team Jetpack.

    Our daughter’s family with our 3 grand kids had been geocaching for about 2 years and took us for a walk on the Bugline to do a couple of caches. It was March of 2006 and I wasn’t very impressed with this first outing. We only found 28 caches that year and I didn’t even log them until the end of the year. Then I had a life changing experience in the form of chest pains and ended up having a heart procedure done in December of that same year. In January of 2007 the weather was great. No snow and 45 degrees. We went for a rehab walk on the Bugline of course and walked 4 miles and found 8 caches. The rest is history. We’ll be finding #3000 in June and our hide total is in the 170’s. We’ve been to over 40 events and now our life is still grand kids and geocaching.

    BTW – I’ve heard of the bugline series near Milwaukee with a high concentration, but I have no idea where it is. Can someone post a cache in the area to help me out.

    Check my profile. Several of my hides have the word Bugline in them. I have about 30 hides on or near the Bugline. There are about 85 caches on the Bugline or within .2 of it. The trail is gravel packed and 14 miles long.

    This was one of the most fun caches that we’ve done with our grandkids despite one of them getting stung by bees and the bear warning sign. Well deserved and also right close by to one of the best zoos in Wisconsin.

    Our 8 and 11 year old grandsons love them. They even wanted to do a multi cache at WalMart using all of the lamposts. Who knows, you may still see that someday.
