My mind is spinning! Only a code junkie could put together a double milestone in such an organized fashion. Congrats on both, Ed!
Ditto all the above!
(well, except for the predictions)
Congrats on the 1400 finds, Susan!

We are soooo past “sand” level now! Found our WGA cache #3 today. Who wants to name that level? 😉
We found the WGA cache at Copper Culture today. We are now one level above Dirt… or is it Dirt II?
:like:
Looking forward to hearing some of his stories when he gets back home.
Congratulations on the 2000 finds, Jim! Love finding your caches, and we love reading your logs when you find ours… or any others. Great place to have a milestone, and any GLS cache is worthy of one!
That’s Dirt status.
The WGA presenting some kind of reward instead of having a final challenge cache would take care of any cache requirements that GC might place on a final. Keep control with the WGA.
I like the idea of a “reward” — I was thinking a pathtag, too — for completing all the WGA SP caches, maybe mail it to each finisher or have one SP in each quadrant that the WGA works with to have the “reward” at those parks to be picked up in person with some kind of note or something that the WGA sends to each… maybe a code word that is cacher-specific that is given to both the finisher and the SP personnel.
example:
Beccaday finishes all 49 caches and notifies the WGA that this is completed and also at which park she wants to pick up her reward, say, Harrington Beach. (The chosen parks each have, say, a dozen of these reward items on hand.) The WGA says, Your code word is “butterfly.” Then the WGA emails Harrington Beach SP that beccaday will be coming in for her WGA SP reward, and she should tell them that her code word is “butterfly”. Beccaday goes to Harrington Beach SP, explains who she is and why she’s there to someone in the office, tells them her code word is “butterfly”, and the office person checks on a list in the envelope that has the pathtags or other reward, sees that beccaday needs to tell them “butterfly”, and then gives her the pathtag or reward.
Or spend fifty cents and mail it to her. Simpler.
And hunting season is now open, and while it’s not blaze orange time quite yet, it might not be a bad idea to wear a vest or something of that color.
I meant to speak up here earlier, but time got away from me.
I think that we have done most if not all of the caches along that stretch of the IAT, at least till past Hartman Creek. They’re all good, so you can’t go wrong picking any of them. There are some really good IAT hiders out there! What is so neat about the caches, though, is the journey to get there, and since you will be having that journey by doing your hiking anyway, finding containers along the way and getting smilies will just be the icing on the cake.
Some of the multis and puzzles might be harder, not only because of your “special” way of finding caches, Muggle B, but also because the finals for some of these will take you back in the direction from which you just came, and some are more than a few hundred feet back.
Stay warm, stay dry, stay safe, and have fun!
It’s not just the “all placed by one hider” thing that GC doesn’t allow… It’s identifying specific caches that need to be found to complete a challenge. Now, you can specify some other things, like find so many in each quadrant of the state or something similar, but the cachers can still choose which ones they want to do to meet the challenge.
Adoption went through. Now can we go out and grab the FTF on it? 😈
