Another new team has been burning it up in central Wisconsin, finding their first 500 caches in less than three months.
Try finding their next hundred in five DAYS! Geolivestrong got #600 today.
Classic Cheezey response. 😕 🙄 😆
Say, Cheezehead . . . Did some cleaning up around here today and found that we have an extra HCH lid, or else we’re short a container. I think your dogs are responsible for that mismatch. They were in charge when you gave them to us. So . . . do you need an extra lid or do we get the container?

Which reminds me, I have a nm log on my tanks for the nano, necedah cache because of a full log and I totally forgot about going up there and replacing it last week when I was home. Will have to put that one at the top of my list for when I next get back home.
Just drove by that one Wednesday. Want us to slip a log in there for you next time we go that way (could even be this Monday)? That’s assuming we can find that @#$%&* nano again!
As we said in another forum, it’s the people who have made the geocaching experience so much fun for us. That shows here, too, where people share encouraging words and hearty congrats for accomplishments of any kind. All of you have made your contributions to the sport and to this site, but when it comes to counting the numbers, we have to send out special thanks to those who have put out 600 caches for us to find. No hides, no finds. It’s that simple.
Quite a few of our smilies have come out of state when we have visited family members, but we are always so glad to return to our familiar “hunting grounds” throughout the great state of Wisconsin. Such quality, such diversity, such class, and sooooooooooo much fun! Thanks, everyone!
Just saw the photo on the home page. Looks good there! Even when there are news items to highlight, I say keep some photos there. Photos always catch my eye.

Way to go on #500, geolivestrong! (And we see your total is now up to 520 . . .)
And a day later up to 539 . . .
Way to go on #300!
That was getting to have lots of really outdated stuff on it. I would assume it was all removed and something new will be coming. Maybe a “this page under construction” notice till then?
We would be hesitant about removing a log sheet without knowing what the cache owner’s wishes were. That said, we still carry strips of paper, small pencils, and plastic bags with us on most caching trips so that we can at least add to any unusable or full logs, or place one, if need be. Not too hard to do.
As cache owners, we routinely visit our caches to check on the state of things, and if any finders report anything, we try to get on it as soon as possible. That’s part of our responsibilities as cache owners, and as cache hunters, we have a responsibility to do what we can (without destroying the integrity of the cache) to leave our find in good shape. Oh, we also carry paper towels to dry off cache contents and the insides of damp caches.
Assuming we make finds on any of your caches, s|s, we now know to remove any damp or full logs and get rid of them after replacing them with acceptable new logs. All others, we will contact cache owners before pitching.
10/22/2009 at 3:18 am in reply to: State Parks – Can we do something like this in Wisconsin? #1915508The past two years that we know of, WGA members made presentations to groups of DNR/parks naturalists/staff members–Bec (greyhounder) and Ralph (zuma) in 2008, and Jim (Gramps) and us this summer. Most properties should be aware of geocaching and it potential by now, and most have sets of GPS receivers (8 per property?) that they can sign out to park users to find caches in their parks. Some properties (managers) are more receptive than others.
If there was a unified program that all the properties could participate in, I would think that less visited parks would see more activity, and maybe more reluctant personnel would see the benefits of having geocaches in their parks.
There are now fourteen caches in Roche-A-Cri State Park near us (5 traditional, 1 multi, 3 virtual, 3 earth, 2 puzzle), and we see all kinds of logs from there. Many are by the campers, many are by area cachers, but quite a few are from cachers who like the fact that they could find so many in one concentrated spot. And that park isn’t very big, with quite a bit of its acreage designated state natural area.
And look how many caches Lake Wissota SP has in it now! We only hit the tip of that iceberg at the WGA picnic, and we’re going back to find some more.
Wow! Our heads are still spinning from your recent cache hiding blitz in the area, and you’ve still had time to zip all over the place making finds of your own. Way to go on #500, geolivestrong! (And we see your total is now up to 520 . . .)
Interesting to see in the Active Caches part of the Recent Logs section that, except for the top spot (WB 2010 Cache Bash), all caches listed are Battleship series caches.

Are there not diffrent type and sizes of micros?
Agreed: matchstick holders, pill bottles, film canisters, Altoid tins, bison tubes, nanos, etc.
But perhaps PCFrog was just pointing the oxymoron . . . large micro, like jumbo shrimp, same difference, pretty ugly, etc.
