In Plattville today. Didn’t see ZoeBro.
Probably because ZoeBro is in Menomonie.
Congrats on the 4000 finds!
Guess you’d better go make nice with that Burger King dude now. Quit eating at the Dairy Queen. There’s your waking conflict and inner turmoil.

The only problem we have with it is that it , the basic, only holds six digits for the GC name and new caches contain seven! They might have fixed this with the H.
Nope. Our eTrex H has only six spots for a cache name. Since I hand enter, I just make up a name that is like the cache name, and they usually end up looking like those vanity license plates.
Don’t know about the chip or anything, but we chose the eTrex H to get started with, and over 600 caches later, we’re still using it. Got the H for the better sensitivity, gets us right on most of the time. Needs the serial/USB cable for downloads, though, but since we don’t do a lot of caches at one time, hand entering has done OK. Time consuming.
But definitely a good starter unit. Got ours a couple of years ago for less than $100. Pretty good battery life, too.

I doubt anyone has done 365 days in a row, but I could be wrong.
Some have, but I can’t remember who around here. I know there was somebody, though.
The tamaracks have turned “dusky gold”.
Depends on what you consider your “area”. Once you’ve been in the game long enough, even caching as slowly as we do, you eventually run out of caches that may be considered “close”, but we think of that as maybe 20-30 miles. It gets harder to make a quick run for a few caches when you have to add travel time in.
We try to keep Adams County “clean”, living in the center of it, but new ones keep popping up. Closer inspection as led us to discover that some caches near Oxford are really in Adams County, so we need to go looking for those.
You don’t necessarily have to have challenges to get you caching away from your home turf. Just decide to find some caches in a certain area and go there for the day or even overnight if it’s farther. Then, if you get some DNFs, you can go back again to clean them up and to do the ones you left out the time before, plus do some new ones that may have come up since your last visit. Then you do this a few times for a few places, and you have lots of places to cache–they just involve a bit of travel to get there.
Good topic for today. First really nice day in a while. Raked leaves and did yard work Saturday and Sunday, family obligations yesterday. So what if there are still chores to do outside before the winter sets in? And the house is never going to get organized or be fully clean. That’s why I voted for #2.
Mr. Sandlanders, on the other hand, would vote for #1 if I would let him near the computer. Had some delicate negotiations going on before we headed out to cache this morning. Working around the house the next few days. 🙁
And #4 is true, but it doesn’t address the caching issue. We do have the option to cache during the week (to avoid the crowds, you know), and that’s when most of our caching is done.
Ah, Northern Lightz, still the newlyweds . . . agreeing on everything . . . 😉

A couple of newer ones that I didn’t notice on the list, both in central Wisconsin: GC1YVJH and GC1VWRK
It means don’t eat at Burger King or have picnics, and stay away from geocaching! Oh, yeah–don’t do any more puzzles. 😆
Just curious on this series . . . Are people playing this like the “Battleship” game, making enough finds to sink all the ships and get the final, and then letting it sit for awhile before getting the other caches (or at least getting the rest after the final), or are people looking to do all 106 caches before considering it complete, for their own purposes?
Those of you who are working on this series or who have completed it, how are you doing this one?
