Todd,
Complete the alphanumeric challenge by finding a cache that has an owner’s name starting with 0-9 and A-Z.
We’ve done it by cache name, and cache owner name. Check our caching profile.
If you use “mygeocachingprofile.com” to generate your stats, it will show up, as long as check the alphanumeric boxes.
We nabbed 9key’s cache in Minnesota on the Fourth of July. Thanks Hack and Trekkin for the information.
Looks like a trip to Minnesota is in our future!
Thanks all for the input. It is appreciated.
Regards,

All of those monuments he placed everywere, we won’t drive by an old silo without thinking of MGT.
Did you know that it is a fact that only 3/4 of the people make up 75% of the population? It’s true. I read it on the internet.
Thanks for the shout out Todd. Caching is not always about finding the container. Many times it is about the connections you make and the socialization.
When we saw Todd way at the southern end of the park, we said, “Hey, didn’t we see him near the campground earlier?”. When we stopped to chat, we found that he had indeed walked the entire distance , one cache at a time. It was near the end of the day and everyone looked a bit weary. Glad we could be of service to a fellow cacher.
Pay it forward.

Nice milestone. That’s a lot of miles, and a lot of stones overturned.
Thank you all, for the congratulatory messages.
It is hard to believe that we have been goecaching for almost six years.
We visited a lot of great places, met a lot of nice people and had a lot of fun along the way.
Thanks again, and we hope to see you on the trail.

This is excellent! I had been reading those original messages myself on occasion, but had never seen them compiled and presented like this as a summary.
Same here, I was interested in the history too, but seeing the first days laid out in one place is pretty cool.
Thanks BennyI’m in. Been wanting to go for this series for a while now.
Nice milestone WA. Glad I was along for the ride.
The ability to listen. Get the information that I need to make a decision without prejudging.
The ability to train and lead. 12 years active in the fire service. Three of which were Assistant Training officer and three more as Captain and Training officer.
Scoutmaster for Troop 1 in Torrington, CT, and merit badge counselor for Troop 59 in New London, WI.The spirit of adventure and exploration.
Flexibility- the ability to try something new or to change when something isn’t working. (back to my fire service days, if the fire isn’t going out, or the situation is getting worse, you need to do something differently or something else).
There are really three points to this question.
First, events are to promote socialization, caching, and to educate.
Second CITO is to pick up trash, usually that stuff not left by any self-respecting geocacher.
Finally, LNT is an ideal, a mindset, a point of personal pride, that I will not do damage (or leave something behind), just to make a find.
All three of these are inexorably intertwined. If you go to an event, you may be educated about LNT, or just pick it up from your fellow cacher’s demeanor. If you attend a couple of CITO events, that really drives it home that ” I don’t want to be like that”.
So keep holding events to promote the social aspect, but also incorporate LNT within each event, especially CITOs.
It would depend on who I am caching with, and what they are up for finding.
I’ve done caching trips only going for T5s.
It might be mission based (complete a series in a day, complete a challenge, or fill spots in your D/t Grid).
If you want to do a power trail, you’re on your own. I tried it once, stopped after 8 finds. Too boring.
I am using a Garmin Oregon 400T. Having used it for several years now, it has served me well. I would need a pretty solid reason to change to a different brand now.
