“how do some of you handle days with lots of caches to log?”

I keep a small spiral notebook and I make some kind of unique note about each cache and at least I can log them in the order that we found them. I hate to have to log a cache that I don’t remember anything about.

I have a really good memory so uh, what was the question?

The chirp cache and night cache are NOT part of the 66 event caches.

Yeah, I don’t cache, I just cause a ruckus in the forums. I’m not dead yet, but when I die I’m going to be buried in the public easement so geocachers can come visit me

Will it be a puzzle or will you just be a 1/1 laying out there in the open.

Evidently stacking of events in one area is OK with groundspeak as long as only one is a Mega Event. See GC2V68Q for 12 events in 4 days in one area.

Eeekk…wouldn’t that be a whoopin’ for the Ba$h. 2000 DNFs

I’m really hoping that there won’t be 63 nanos on sign posts for the bash 😆

Here’s just a sampling:
There are 10 caches on the Eisenbahn Trail
There are 5 caches in Pike Lake State Park
There are 7 caches in the Kettle Moraine Northern Unit
There are 10 caches in a very hilly West Bend Park

There are 500 bags so getting one on Friday should not be a problem.

[Mister Greenthumb]

The caches were published the night before last year too and very few were found before noon on Friday. You won’t be stoned or anything like that if you look for them early on Friday, but everyone has to decide what kind of opinion you want other geocachers to have of you. So my opinion is the event starts at noon on Friday.

[Mister Greenthumb]

Some are as far away as 12 miles to the north and west. They all begin with the prefix 11_ _, 1101 thru 1166. That’s about all that I can offer.

[Mister Greenthumb]

There is only one water cache this year on Little Cedar Lake. No new water caches on the Milwaukee River – sorry.

My 2 cents. Mr. G. why would you give up the secret here? I was going to comment how I bought a Kayak for the cache, but I thought that went too far 😉

Edited: because I am sleepy.

I wondered that myself…but my belief is that he does so to illustrate a point…that being that logs are what make listings special. And as long as it was brought up, I loved looking at your cache Mr.Greenthumb I google mapped it when it came out and got a smile.

LB7 stated exactly what my point was. Logs can sometimes make an ordinary cache extrodinary.

I just sent a congrats to a cacher on her first FTF at my hide that I placed last night GC31QY3. It’s a guardrail P&G that any cacher would be happy to have included in their stats. If all guardrails were like this cache people would have good reason to flock to them.

I agree about getting frustrated with crappy logs (particularly with my EarthCaches). I email folks when they do write a good log….for example the one I got today I just loved:

(Chirp) Spooky Boy
Found it August 7 by Xxxxx Xxxxx Xxxx (2125 found)

This is my first find with my new Garmin Oregon I received for my birthday. This cache has been on the radar for a while, but I did not have the proper paranormal communication device to glean the information from momma ghost. I arrived at the posted coordinates and after a short walk, I felt a weird chill in the air. I turned on my comm. device and I instantly was contacted by Momma. I told her her son would be back with her soon. I rushed to the area where momma lost her ghost and I understood her worry. This wee ghost was surrounded by vampires. There were swarms of those little blood suckers everywhere. They had the young ghost so scared he wouldn’t come out to greet me. I had to search for a while until at last I found his hiding spot. I told him that his momma was worried. He asked me to autograph his scrapbook and offered me a prize. I signed, but no reward was needed. This was a fun use of new technology. I guess we will have to wait to see how it evolves within the hobby. A big Thanks.

Hmmmmmm I wonder who wrote that? 😉 8) 🙂
But Yes I agree that is a class A Log.

Here’s another log by the same cacher (BBG) on my hide GC31F80 Sussex Island.
Read the description on the cache page and then his log. This cache is all about the logs. The D/T ratings are ficticious. There is water, but the island is a traffic island and the cache is a park and grab. If everyone plays along and logs it like Chris did this simple hide can be fun for everyone including me. Logs like this are my motovation to keep hiding as I approach 300 hides.

The log:
Log Date: 8/7/2011
I was passing through the area today and thought a cool dip in a pond would be
refreshing. I just left the sandals in the car and went for this one. I have
made worse treks across water in much colder weather. Quick find once I reached
the island. TFTC.

The actual name of the area you were in is Pike Lake State Forest. The cache you found is the oldest “active” cache in Wisconsin. If you like finding caches in this area you can return on Ca$h Ba$h weekend. The 5 caches that I hid for the event are all in this park including a really fun family oriented field puzlle.

The July winner was otmom.

Find the August cache GC31C3G and enter to win.

[Mister Greenthumb]

I can hardly wait to see the forum discussion on the new “front yard” icon. The timing is ironic.
