Of the pvc pipe containers that I have found, I’d say they’re a bit on the unreliable side for sealing and opening. Cinemaboxers have at least 2. I know I struggled with the threads on both.

McDonald’s Highway 50 and Hwy75 – at 8:30 Thursday morning A bunch of us are going to grab some of the caches at Bong State Park.

I’d add Arborvitae to that list as well. They’re nice because they’re dense, but damage can occur. Watch for damage and move the cache accordingly.

Thanks, rogheff. Our challenge is to find at least one of your hides every time we visit our relatives in Kenosha! Happy New Year and hope to see you on the trail again someday.

That’s funny. At that rate, you’re getting far, far behind in finding them all. It would take you nearly a century.

A fellow Kenosha cacher? Welcome to the club! Let’s go caching. I’m sure we can snaggle together a group hunt.

Hey John, from one home brewer to another – welcome!

I appreciate all the feedback. This is for a Geocaching / Scouting event at Camp Ohdakota (Kenosha County) on March 24th. Watch for the event notice.

HE DID IT!!! 1511 and on Spinning a Yarn: Johnny Cash” Wow, who’d have ever thought he’d do that? I mean, what an honor! I was going to mention something but decided not to…..oh, wait – I guess I did.

Woohoo anyway!

[rogheff]

Wow, thanks.

I’ve seen polls on the forum, I thought they were and administrator “thing” how do you make one?

[rogheff]

You’d think he’d choose a memorable cache for such a milestone. Perhaps a cache that would have some deep, personal meaning for him. A cache such as “Spinning a Yarn: Johnny Cash”…..

Problem with the Cache to Eagle program in the SE part of the state is that there’s already caches very near eagle projects. I can think of Eagle projects in Bristol Woods, Bong, Wadewitz, Lake Andrea, Hawthorne Hollow, Petrifying Springs Park, etc. that are too near existing geocaches to make this program work without rchiving existing caches.

There’s an actual Merit Badge in the experimental stage being tested in another part of the country. I’m excited about combining Scouts and geocaching. We use geocaching in my Boy Scout program nearly on a monthly basis.

I got Council approval last night.

I think big, so here’s my plan: I’d like to have a Scouting / Geocaching event out at Camp Ohdakota where I already have a 10 stage multi centered around the 5 mile hike for Second Class rank advancement and the 4 mile backpack hike for the Camping Merit Badge requirement.

I’d like to set up several additional geocaches for plant and animal identification advancements. All in all, there’s be something like 5-10 caches that would be open to the general public on this day only. There’s already the “Camp Ohdakota Cache” on the grounds which can be done any time.

My BSA Council encompasses all of Racine and Kenosha Counties, so I hope I could rely on a number of area geocachers for help setting them up. I’ve got quite a few cachers who’ve already volunteered.

Logging 15 or 16 additional caches (and helping introduce a bunch of Scouts to geocaching) would be the draw to the geocaching community. I’ll teach the geocaching advanced training that Knoffer mentioned to the Scout Leaders (since I’m a Council BSA Trainer), while my Scouts and leaders and you folks could show the participating Scouts what geocaching is all about.

My plan is to make this a geocaching event open to any cachers, and a Southeast Wisconsin Council Scouting event open to any Cub Scout , Boy Scout or Venturer. I’m sure if an out-of-Council Scout wanted to participate, they could as well.

When I have a date (spring) I’ll let everyone know.

Way to go Dave!

Mofongo, you’d be in my Council too 😀
