    Way to go big guy! Sorry I missed your swing through town the other day. Warm congrats, Mike!

    Congrats on the 2K! Looks like a popular and worthy choice for the milestone. Well done!

    We “echo” all the other congratulations. Missed seeing you two this summer – hope to fix that for the new year. Warm regards!

    Go now Gwyn! That’s where I got my Lyme memory. 😯 And those geotrails should be there till the next snowfall. 😉

    Ditto on the WOW! I remember you passing me some time ago. Doesn’t seem that far back, but the memory is caked in dust… Warm congrats to both of you! Hope to see you again on the trail soon.

    in reply to: Now THAT is really something!! #1918571

    Well done, Dan! I know you have targeted multis and have done most of ours, but 1300?! I have less than 300 and have never avoided them. That’s quite a total. Congrats and Happy Holidays!

    Congrats to both of you! A bit belated, been out of the forums for a week so behind on the news. Happy Holidays!

    Ditto on the congrats! Well done. Two threads too!

    in reply to: New tick-borne diseases #1917952

    Thanks for the additonal run-down on symptoms and severity. The names sounded scary at first. At least it wasn’t an acronym with numbers. I had lyme a couple summers ago. Got it doing one of brother-in-law’s Wild Side caches. Figures. My doctor misdiagnosed it when I went in strongly suspecting that’s what I had. After an initial round of antibiotics that didn’t stop the inflammation and numbness that had progressed to most of an upper leg, I went to see one of his associates, an older doctor who said that it sure looked like lyme to him and gave me the proper antibiotic to deal with it. Needless to say, I have a new doctor now.

    I have a hard time spotting the deer ticks so settle for picking the wood ticks off and throw them out the window as I drive to another cache. My wife doesn’t like them in the car, or especially in the bed. I figure if I get lyme again I will be able to spot it and get it treated quicker now. The new diseases don’t sound too worrisome, and you can only get them once, maybe already for me. Yeah, I think I need new glasses too.

    Congrats on the milestone, and, as mentioned, the opportune timing! Not a lot of logs the last couple days. Enjoyed your blog. Congrats again!

    in reply to: Vacation, travel and caching #1917962

    Great question! Life beyond geocaching. I have found the need to pick and choose more wisely when traveling with or without the family has resulted in far better than average cache experiences. Bypassing definite “done those, been there” kinds of hides for ones that I think are special or the family can enjoy sharing has allowed us to experience something special about the areas we visit, whether geographical features, historic locations, or exciting challenges. Cream of the crop finds. I have friends who are increasingly approaching their cache selections in the same manner and they are having the same good luck and great experiences with their finds.
