Wow, what a pace! 😯 Congrats on the 2K Rick! First met you the day I made the find at that milestone choice and have watched your growing dust trail (in the rear view mirror 😉 ) ever since then. Well done! Look forward to seeing you on the trail again. 8)

Congrats on the 1.9 K at the final for a great series, JT! I’ve only tasted a sampling so far but am looking forward to the rest. Well done! 8)

Congrats on the 200, glorkar! Considering the fun with numbers in the milestones lately, what’s cued up for #222? 😉

[Sagasu]

Congrats on the #333, HeliDood. I like those three and, even further apart, four of a kind milestones too, though I only noted a fun 666 at an evil hide till I got to my 1111. Wish I would have time to go back to the other three of a kinds, or even the 1234 or 2345, but I do remember the 1111 and 2222 well, and am looking forward to 3333 even more than 3100 and the other hundreds till the next K. Looks like a fun cache to do. Glad it’s a regular; from the hint it looks like it would be a very tough micro. Congrats again! 8)

Belated congrats, Andy! Tricky hide for the 1500 as I recall. 😉

In the dark yet?! 😯 Congrats on a memorable 2K, Marie, Roger, and Aida!

Reading all the logs on that series makes me eager to get there to take a look. It seems hard to imagine how some have done that whole series in one sweep! Congrats again on the tenacious 2K! 😉

I always look at a cache’s log history for red flags with trackables before I drop a trackable in a cache, our own coin or TB or one belonging to someone else, premium cache or not. I have seen some caches with incredible repeat mugglings before owners move or archive such caches.

As for “trusted hands” moving trackables, I, too, have seen some better fortune for our TBs in other parts of the world and in some parts of the states. An example is with one of our own green jeep TBs that went to Scotland and the Czech Republic in two stops, and has now seen almost the entire country in over 35 caches. The moves are almost weekly sometimes and the logs always timely. I don’t think it’s ever going to leave the country though. The Czechs love the traditional jeep look-a-like and take and post photos. It’s seen some great caches, but I don’t have time to use a translator on all of them so I look at the location, sometimes with a satellite view and glean what I can. That’s just one of forty or so trackables we have out there, so we have plenty of glimpes of caches throughout the country and world.

With regard to helping trackables get back on track, I have done that sometimes, as it seems even reliable and trusted hands that move trackables on, and at least help them survive, don’t often consider a trackable’s goal, if there is one. So, in a few cases, I’ve helped some trackabes get connected to someone going back in the right direction, in a couple cases to another continent. I know how thrilled I’ve been when someone does that with one of ours. Some more great stories there.

Most of all, I hope people do look at a cache’s history and don’t move trackables through caches that have been muggled and not moved, or have logs that say repeatedly: “We didn’t see the geocoin or TBs in the cache like the last finder a few weeks ago. Maybe the owner needs to mark them missing.” or worse yet: “The travel bugs that have been listed in this cache haven’t been there for a long time, but we dropped this cool geocoin, and we don’t think the kids playing across the street were watching when we were at the cache.”

Congrats on the 1.3K, Becky! 8)

Congrats on the first K in less than a year! One of the most memorable milestones! 8)

[Sagasu]

Warm congrats again so soon. John and Gail! 2500! Retirement looks like it suits you fine! I already started peeking at my review mirror! 😉

[Sagasu]

Congrats on the 1.7K, Chris! Nice trail series over there. 8)

[Sagasu]

Congrats again, yet so soon! 😉 And another great choice; been on my own wish-list for a while. Nice logs, but we needed more wp to wp commentary! 😯 Looks like you all had a fun time! Well done!

[Sagasu]

Thanks! I’m waiting to hear more about timing for Ed’s “express service” with some “martians” and seeing if anything else pops up soon.

[Sagasu]

Let’s see if there are any other opportunities, Ed. I’ll contact you about your timing. Thanks!

[Sagasu]

Congrats on the 500! I knew you would feast on new territory over here! 😉 Good milestone choice; part of a great series indeed! 8)
