  • in reply to: How many miles on your primary cache vehicle? #1878445

    Bought the Santa Fe new on Jan. 8, 2007 – not even 2 years old and we have 62,000 miles on it now that we are back from Alaska.

    Rolled it over to 33,000 on Jan. 8 of this year and looks like we are on pace to beat that!

    Primary vehicle, used for everything, but caching seems to put on a good percentage of those miles.

    Can we substitute, say a ‘Project Ape’ cache, for a CITO event?

    Packers won yesterday. I was there.

    Wow, I just saw the post asking for recommendations for caches in Vegas and had checked your profile to see you hadn’s logged any caches from Nevada . . . . .on the first page!!

    Anyway Congratulations on the #2 spot and for doing 100 caches in Nevada (if I counted correctly). Plus the trip through the Virgin River gorge. That’s the way we drove home when we were out there in ’07

    Sorry you missed out of GC659
    That was the favorite for our trip, but slowed me down as it took about 3 hours and a vehicle with off road clearance!

    in reply to: Vegas #1896413

    Probably missed on this one as I’m posting a little late and you may already be in Vegas. My most memorable cache in the area was GC659

    Took me about 3 hours and there are fantastic views from the area. A little tougher hide than most out there too. I made the find Feb 5 of ’07 and only about half a dozen have visited since then. It’s also one of the oldest around, as it was hidden in 2001

    Another cache that comes to mind for fun was at a drive thru wedding chapel. I asked Tammy if she wanted anything other than the cache and she opted for something more traditional! LOL

    Good luck!

    in reply to: Rick Blick and Chick Climb to 1100 Finds! #1896214

    Thanks for all of your congratulations! Mathman had talked to me while we were on the way there, so I’m glad I was able to make the find.

    We actually chose ‘Dane County Mountain Climbing’, GCVENG, which is right near the ‘Donald’. There had been 2 DNFs before I got there so I knew it was going to be a bigger challenge than most of our milestones.

    Thanks again, and hope to see you all on the trail!

    in reply to: Rick Blick and Chick Climb to 1000 finds! #1891844

    Thanks everyone and especially Mathman for posting the milestone. Amazing how the finds add up so quickly!

    And yes, the beer was cold. I put it in a baggie with some ice in my pack. The second time I’ve done that for a milestone. The first time, I surprised my son with the cold beer once we made the find on Sugarloaf Mountain in El Paso, Texas.

    Thanks again, and Cache Happy!

    😆
    Thank you all! Special thanks to Mathman who seems to keep better track of me than me! As for the pictures – should be starting again soon, as I’ve finally replaced Tammy’s camera!
    Thanks again, and
    Happy Caching!

    Thanks to all who posted their congratulations. We are just out there having fun and somehow the numbers keep adding up.
    Cache Happy!

    in reply to: Mathman Finds 1000“ #1880730

    Sometimes with the running – or paddling about – I tend to overlook the Wisconsin geocaching site. But finally, I’m visiting long enough to extend my congratulations to the Mathcrew for 1000 finds

    It’s not about the numbers, but that certainly is an impressive one!
    Congratulations again, and remember to Cache Happy!

    in reply to: One Paddle Short Goes On a FTF Frenzy! #1870891

    Congratulations!
    Also a big thank you for breaking the trail in the snow out to those caches. It was great to be able to follow in the footsteps of such a fine caching team. By the time I went, snowshoes weren’t necessary. I’m sure Mathman would say, that with the size of my feet, they weren’t needed anyway! Thanks for many things.
    Cache Happy,
    Rick

    in reply to: One Paddle Short Paddles To 750!!! #1768408

    I’ve cached with ‘The Paddles’ on a 20 cache day,
    Not for the numbers, just having fun their way.

    Exploring a cave, walking trails and climbing a bluff,
    With ‘One Paddle Short’, Lj & Scruff.

    The numbers keep on climbing, while we have the fun,
    with the best part being, we can never be done!

    Congratulations ‘One Paddle Short’ on 750!!

    in reply to: Stuff in caches #1761145

    I’m always on the lookout for new and interesting items. Like to find clearance items at the WMart. Generally I try to T 1 and L 2 items when I find something I want. But it is a losing battle to keep quality items in the cache. Have already noticed that most of the stuff I leave, is taken by the next cacher.

    My brother and I are in a travel bug race and currently his racer, TBKB56, has been stuck in “Inner-City Wilderness” (GCNEAN) since Oct 31! Inner Cirt Wilderness is located near Marinette. Can anyone please get this bug moving again?
    Thanks!

    Alrighty, may have helped your brother out as I picked up his Voodoo Racer on Jan. 21 and have moved him twice. Still seems to be stuck in Central Wi at Powers Bluff (GC7CA) Hope someone heading south can give him a lift!

    I put a bunch of miles on my car, but managed to be FTF on this challenge. It is highly recommended! 3 of the 5 caches, plus the final, were awesome! Had a blast travelling to new caches fighting time before it was to dark to find! Also, TeamEverest did a fantastic job getting me FTF award. TFTC
