A pen exploded on me.
I’ve taught for 35 years and never had a pen explode on me. Am I living on borrowed time?
Now little kids tugging on my sleeve with paint covered hands to ask a question, that’s a different story.
It all depends on how bad I want to locate the cache. If I’m caching solo, which is a great deal of the time, and I know the cache is there, I’ve spent over an hour on some particularly hard ones. Those are the ones with the fun logs I write.
With only one individual searching it can take longer on a hard one but is so much more rewarding for me than hunting in a group. Park and grabs and other containers placed with what seems like little thought I’ve spent a shorter period of time, 20 minutes.
When I did the Mandan Road in the U.P. I took a picture at each stop. Don’t know if the cache owner enjoyed it but I did.
I like walking or mountain biking those trails. Labzones trail in Door county I did segments of it using both methods. I really enjoyed the periodic unique hide and the views.
When we did the “Yellow Brick Road Series” Bart, which some might consider a power-trail, I agree that it’s a riot with someone else. I can visualize something like a Chinese fire drill. Doing the YBR for us was more along the lines of Cindra breaking into songs from the movie and periodic skipping.
The Cedarcide intrigues me, what I have found online is pro and con. The only problem is Cindy is allergic to cedar.
Hope you have a nice turnout at your CITO Sandlanders. Who wouldn’t love to make it a weekend and grab the virtuals and earth caches there.
“Bear Bait Trail”, no desire to write 300 decent logs without cutting and pasting. Now maybe 300 decent pictures on a fall day would be nice. A lot of loading of pictures, but it might be nice. Wonder how many people who do power trails ever look at the pictures people post? Didn’t notice any images on the few caches I checked online.
Mult-caches have always been one of my favorites. I own three and 2 of the 3 are true 3 stage caches were you actually travel to various locations. The other is a multi idea which I stole from Bartrod that I liked so much I had to create one of my own. I really enjoy the aspect of traveling a specific area exploring it or getting to know it better.
One actually has a 100% favorite points! (O.K., it only has one finder…)
Enough lurking. I keep seeing that reference to “Hunting for bear bait” and I have to ask.
Is that looking for mushrooms? It’s to early for berries. Or are you guys the potential bear bait… Or is that a power trail up north that I think I might be aware of??
The sun made its first appearance in 11 days and stayed around all of 5 minutes.
I don’t experience SAD, but this is getting to me.
The drive back to Door County Sunday in the fog was quite the experience. It got thicker as we got closer. Very white knuckle with vehicles appearing what seemed like out of nowhere on the highway. Surprised I didn’t hear about any serous accidents on the news.
My avatar looks stupid… I thought it would look neat since the majority of my time is spent in northern Wisconsin. Guess I’ll have to get a better photo or look for something else.
I’m off to the doctor this p.m. for my first post-op check…hope he gives me some leeway to get out of this house before I go completely stir-crazy. A new cache popped up 18.3 miles away…if it weren’t across the bay I might have been tempted…cra-a-a-zy! Arghhhh!
I’ll have to check that one. And wouldn’t you know, I’m not leaving the Island this Thanksgiving…
Wednesday morning study hall and all the students have left early for Thanksgiving or are out hunting. Having a half day of school has never made sense to me during the day before Thanksgiving.
Taking a bit to get use to the new format. Looks good it’s just going to take a while.
I love finding a cache in the winter! Where I live makes it difficult but when I get off Island there are certain hiders who you get to know where they like to hide a cache. Those drilled out holes in the base of a sign post, the guard rail, bike paths, you know the kind. The trick is to leave those for the winter and tough weather months and get the hiking ones in the nicer weather.
I have a sister in Eau Claire who I visit on a regular basis and I’ve left that Clairemont and Highway 93 Bike Trail just for that purpose. Open date over the holidays, I’ll grab a cache like that. In my neck of the woods, we have multiple barn quilt caches and the Top Spot caches, usually a signpost that’s easily available and easy to grab and return to the warm vehicle in short order.
Congratulations on your upcoming adventure!
Something I also would like to do in the future. With that, I have always thought or wondered if there is any resource of information on individuals that would be willing to pick you up at the end of a day of hiking and bring you back to your vehicle for a fee. It would be an excellent resource even if it were only partially available.
