@LN: 🙄 🙄 🙄 Press the red button…
Eleven Bugsmasher69 caches just adopted by us. Thank you, Team Sloughfoot, for taking on this task in memory of our fellow central Wisconsin geocacher.

Second – When I’m eventually called to meet my maker, it’s not my concern what happens to anything left behind.

I have no control over what happens once I’m in the hereafter and as long as I’ve accounted for the “important” things, that’s what matters. Sorry but I don’t consider my geocaching stuff as part of that listIt’s because geocaching is not one of the more “important” things that I don’t worry about writing down the password to my GC account. I don’t use that password for anything else, and if someone breaks into my house and can find my important papers where it is placed, then they are welcome to wreak havoc upon my GC account, sharing all the coords to my puzzle caches and deleting all my finds… or worse: changing every log I have ever written to a “TFTC”! 😯

They’re all smarter than me, I’m sure they’ll crack the code.
Oh no, Bill please tell me your password isn’t “password.”
Wait, don’t tell me – it’s better that I don’t know!
I think it might be “1234567”. 😉
I have a note with our GC password and a couple of GC names to contact if our heirs need any help figuring out how to do this geocaching adoption thing. No one else in our family is much into geocaching, if at all. It’s kept with “important papers”.
And really… Most of us here are pretty conscientious about our hides, and we don’t want them to be abandoned for lack of a way to access them. Yeah, anyone could go out and take our containers out of the woods after we have passed on, cleaning up our geotrash, but those ammo cans might be meant for some other person and/or use.
It’s nice to have “geo-will”.

No caching plans for Thanksgiving. The holiday is about pies and family for us, although we’re not going to turn down any requests by family members if they want to check out the activity. We did take my aunt and uncle out the day after T’day our first year caching–they were in their late eighties at the time–and if our great-nephews want to find a few like they did on their recent trip with us… well, OK.
There are a bunch of P&Gs in the Mauston area that we might take a detour for on our way to the festivities at my sister’s place, but that would depend on if the pies and the mashed potatoes get prepared early enough for us to take a leisurely way over there.
Deejay, do we let you know or do we contact Bugsmasher’s family? I see that his son has access to his account. We can definitely adopt some of his caches, and if a temporary “guardian” of all the caches is preferable, we can take over that responsibility.
As we said elsewhere, we never met Bugsmasher, but we communicated with him from time to time, and his caches were a big part of our early caching experience.
Oh, no! We’ve done a ton of his caches… Little Black Box series is well-known here in central Wisconsin, especially along I-39. Never had the pleasure of meeting him, but we always enjoyed a day of “bug smashing” when we hit many of his caches.
We will miss him.
🙁
Don’t have any answers, just my experiences.
I’ve always used a Mac and never had access to GSAK. Used Maccaching quite a bit a few years ago, and it always did what I needed it to, which wasn’t much. Don’t know what’s going on with it now, since some things don’t work for me anymore, and there have been no updates or notes in over four years that I can find. We are “minor” cachers, and quite inefficient to boot, but I get what I need done done without any program now. 😕
If you are used to GSAK, you will be quite disappointed with anything out there specifically for Mac. There are cachers who have found a way (like your virtual windows, perhaps) to make GSAK work on their Macs, and maybe they can chime in here with some suggestions.
Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful, GR.
We visited the park yesterday, and we remembered a visit in spring recently where we saw a whole bunch of garlic mustard along the trail. CITO event?
Nice cache for #6000. Congrats on the milestone! Can’t wait to get our name on the log for that one! 😉
We had found those two hides quite a while ago, and it was interesting to see how they had changed since then. That shows how much work Team Sloughfoot does to keep those hides (and their other ones) going in such a busy place as the Dells. Thanks, John and Gail!
Since we have barely made a dent in our find numbers since our milestone a week ago, it is safe to say that there will be no 2900 scrawled across a turkey, nor written on the top of a pie, and it is very doubtful that there will be one under the Christmas tree, although last year we did milestone at a cache in Rudolph in mid-December.
We would like to thank everyone for the well wishes here on our #2800, though. While we don’t always do what some would consider typical milestone caches, we do try to make them memorable and meaningful to us. Gotta keep things fun in this most absurd activity we all choose to entertain ourselves with!
Yes, that it is. Interesting to know.
