Congrats on the major milestone, Bill and Vicki! Plant the geocaching seed, add a green thumb and some sunshine, and look what grows!
Congrats on the 1000 ? finds, froggerz!
“90. Tailgate and watch the Brewers win at Miller Park”
Do the Brewers have to win to have this one count? 😉
Nah, we’ve seen them win a few times over the years…
And the tip about parking in the north lot is a good one. That’s where we always park.And I think we have done #52. 😀
Not sure how the LCG program gathers information, but as far as GC goes, it uses the date at the top of the cache page. Newly published caches won’t show up as “new” unless the date at the top is seven days ago or less.
Side note: Back in the day when we had dial-up, I couldn’t get the correct date on any of my cache submissions, and I had to ask the reviewers to change those to current for me. If I forgot to ask, or if I went in to edit something later, the date on the cache page would show up as some time in 1901.
I think that would trump Bartrod’s languishing project. 😉
Nice adventure you had for the milestone, Dave! Congrats on the 1600 finds! KA-BOOM!!!

…right now I’m in the middle of attending a Law Enforcement academy at Ft. McCoy as part of the position. There are also 4 other new PR/AP here at the academy recently hired for different parks, so I’ll already have connections when/if it gets to the point of setting up a state-wide challenge.
Is Kristen from Roche-A-Cri SP in that group with you? We’ve met her already.
It would be nice to see the Wisconsin DNR get on board with this. The state parks that have many geocaches in them have seen increases in their numbers of visitors.
If the state doesn’t want to get involved, maybe the WGA can organize an effort to get geocaches in every park, even if they are put out and maintained by individual cachers. The WGA can set some kind of standards, and the costs can be covered either by the WGA or the cache hiders. The WGA can “own” the challenge.

As an aside, but a related aside, does anyone know the GC number for the WI State Park Challenge? 🙂 🙂
Don’t know of a Wisconsin State Park Challenge, but there are two challenges that I am aware of that involve Wisconsin public lands:
GC3BRE4 “Wisconsin Playlands” by Trekkin’ and Birdin’ near Bangor
GC3WMX0 “WI Public Land” by geolivestrong near WautomaCongratulations to you two crazies, Dave and June! 10,000 biggies, and you’ve been all over for those. Don’t stop now!
I would congratulate the Team on the big milestone, but then they would have to kill me. (Congrats anyway. ;))
I refer you to the Website Navigation section on the left of the WGA site. Right above the bright aqua Forums section is one titled “Location Rules and Regs”. Different counties and entities and their requirements can be accessed under that heading.
I have enough puzzle DNA of my own, thank you, but I have drunk the koolaid put out by many a Wisconsin puzzler (there are quite a few other puzzle locales around the state besides Selzzup, you know), so I’m fortified that way. Just wanted some suggestions of what to pack in my “bag of tricks”.
Happy Easter to all of you “peeps”!
We’ll be there on Saturday only. Visiting family in the area plus doing a mini vacation.
