So are we! That one’s a toughie, but we’re still looking.
For the 900 series? I got one! 😀 Quite a few in the cemetery where I got mine.
Didn’t see a log by you on WSQ 970, sweech. Same Jesus WSQ?
Way to go, Sloughfoot! 2000 finds is pretty remarkable, but we especially appreciate all of the caches you’ve placed, many in our neck of the woods.
Thanks and Congrats!
Toot, toot!!! We’ll help you on that. Congrats on the award!
We always did lots of things outdoors–camping, canoeing, fishing, hunting, biking, hiking, gardening, etc.–and as kids it was outdoors in the neighborhoods from dawn till dusk (had to catch those fireflies). I even spent quite a bit of time sitting in my favorite climbing tree reading a book or watching the ants crawling up and down the bark. Didn’t have all the technology kids have now, so we weren’t tempted too much by that.
Yes, we have some of the gadgets now, but it’s been mostly learn as we go, so we know a bit of a lot of things and whole lot less of most things. Of course, using the GPS technology didn’t come for us until geocaching, and we haven’t advanced much beyond the basics with that, but what I have really learned is how to work on formatting and stuff, like with the html on the cache pages and the forums, and uploading and sharing photos, etc. Every time I learn something new in regards to that, it’s a little pat on the back to myself.
Geocaching as also gotten us more into the outdoors and off the couch. A nice day is much better spent outside than in front of the tube. But then we (I) spend more time in front of the computer than before, too.
So I’d say we’re outdoors people who have gotten more outdoorsy and a bit more technologically advanced because of geocaching. It’s basically the housework that has suffered a decline. 😉
Oh, yes, those are very good containers to use. And the price is right.
Stick with the rusty metal ones. 😉
Sounds like kmsnoop was really excited. Congrats on #1000!
Wow! 3500! Congratulations!
Earthcaches are exempt from the .1 rule. Just make sure you follow all of the other requirements/rules/permissions for setting up an earthcache. Very rigorous process if you do it right.

I agree, Joe or Jane Average cacher has no clue about any of this. Which really, is probably the majority of folks out there.
I have seen many logs by newer cachers for caches that were “suggested” ALRs. No mention of the ALR being done or “will try later”, etc. Wonder if they think it’s standard to ignore this part of the cache, just like it’s “standard” to write “TFTC” and not to log a DNF.
Gosh! Been at this less than two years and already starting to talk “old”.
As for our own caches, no ALRs, so no input on that topic.
Warning! Warning! Is it a Mac/PC thing? We have a Mac.

Comes and goes for me. Still there now.
Well, we see you’re still around, TE.
We have the Oxford federal prison in eastern Adams County, and there was one New Year’s Eve that a prisoner somehow escaped. We were returning from the other side of the river after celebrating with friends (snow was coming down heavily, too), and the cops were stopping people on the Highway 82 bridge. Since we were going east, they just warned us not to pick up anyone. Kind of spooky.
