I concur. I would suggest staying away from bottled water at the all too convenient gas station. Filter water at home, if you do so, and make a collection of 20oz pop bottles. Those .69, .99 cent, and larger bottles do add up after a while.

I also have completed about 5. One that stood out to me was Soudan Underground Mine State Park Wildlife Safari (GC1P4ZE).

I was really impressed with the park staff at all the parks. Every one we ran into picked us out as Geocachers and came up to us and started a friendly conversation. It was a very nice warm welcome to the parks.

If anyone wants to see the internals of the Nuvi series, the software side, I wrote a post describing the BSD and GPL licensed software these devices use: Garmin GPS Source Code and Platform

First, that’s awesome feedback, well done you two!!!

I agree. That is really cool that the DNR is again taking great interest in geocaching!

I would be lost without finding my way to a geocache. Dork myside! 😉

It is too much of a thrill and an adrenaline rush when you spot that, out of ordinary speck of a container, not to mention the satisfaction of logging a tough find – to give up the hunt?

That is not to say hiding a cache and watching the finds come in is not a thrill, I just prefer the challenge of the outdoors and the unknown.

I will be attending with mad_geek. We are heading that way early Friday morning from Madison, though we have to be in the La Crosse area Saturday afternoon so we will not be staying the entire weekend.

I can not believe all the hides in a 7 mile Radius! I am pumped!

“La Crosse`s sunken treasure” GC1CP77

It was so obvious and soo easy, I had to give up and come back to make the FND. I had to laugh about it. Loved it!

[myside]

Welcome! I am rather new also and have found this place to be a pleasantly friendly place to come and gather.

That would work for me. I will have to work on transportation though.

I published “Two Ancient Roads Until Beauty” – as so I decided to name it. Thanks to your association and documentation, I had it approved by the DNR. The geocache code is: GC1GJYH

I have had one find for this hide. They posted a few pictures, one of the water crossing to the cache included. Brrrr, it was night and that water must have been cold!

I would be up for the challenge. I found #6, and would like to find the others in the series..

My name is Andy btw – 29 IT/IS Professional. I love backpacking, and most especially geocaching..

A lot of people are getting stuck on 6 for some reason.. I am curious as to the positions of the others!

[myside]

Nice! I must get together with you guys.. I haven’t had the opportunity to do a find like this.. feel free to e-mail me!
