      Heck, if they go to Hawaii for #2000, we’ll all join them for the milestone! And it should be a nice time to go there, since I’m thinking that the milestone won’t wait till next summer. 😉 Congrats on #1600, John and Kim! 😀

        The sunflower came about not long after I started posting. Back then, quite a few people were avatar-less, but I liked the look of the little pics by people’s names. I just looked through all the photos I had taken (that took quite a while, too!), and one of a sunflower caught my eye. I used that one for quite a while, but the one I use now I took while on a trip last summer to the southwest where there were wild sunflowers lining our route in quite a few spots. This particular pic was taken near the entrance to Mesa Verde NP in SW Colorado.

        I like the question, amita. 😀

          Writing logs that tell the stories of our experiences on our cache hunts is why I am now 36 logs behind.

          But they will be worth waiting for if you’re one of those COs! 😉 😀

            We’re doing the day trip thing. Long day, but should be fun.

                … or really mess with the hunters!

                  We put in a family-friendly night cache at Roche-A-Cri last fall before the WGA picnic. The park manager approved everything. It uses fire tacks and reflectors. Then when he was out there this spring, he said there were way too many fire tacks, so take some out, which we did (about half). Then he retired, and the acting manger said to move the night cache because it used a service road, and not to use fire tacks in the new location. I explained how the cache worked, and we were allowed to leave it in. We still might pull it anyway.

                  The DNR land near us would not be good for a night cache with fire tacks because we have seen fire tacks there already that hunters have put out to lead them to or from their hunting spots. We are told that fire tacks can spook horses, so don’t use them on horse trails.

                  Don’t really know what’s a good place to put a night cache. I just thought that state parks would be perfect for night caches because all the campers could look for them.

                        Will pick him up when we get the FTF on Noah’s cache… 😈

                        We’ll take RT10 for you, too, RT, but we’re not driving him to Oshkosh every day for school.

                          Just glad you didn’t have to name the kid Homer Cicero or Hiram Cornelius or anything else with those initials, Mr. Hopp… 🙄 😉

                            Cheezehead stole my suggestion. That man is uncanny!

                            And we found “Ka-BOOM!” in Wisconsin on Friday. A nod to DC on that one.

                                  An event for tossing your cookies maybe? 😯
