By my count, there are only 96 virts left in the state of Wisconsin.
There were 100 in September of 2007.Not to belittle the accomplishment, Team Honeybunnies, but this quest looks like it could be getting easier with time. 😉
Congratulations on the unique set of finds!Congratulations on #3500, AstroD-Team!
Want more email? Place some caches!
I always read the cache pages. I was reading cache pages as a lurker before we even had a caching name. Caches pages are mini-stories that someone took the time to write. Some are good, some are bad. Some have information, some don’t.
We aren’t paperless (receiver and camera about all the electronics we take), so I read and reread the cache pages of caches we might try to find. Sometimes I condense everything to get many caches on one page to take along, and then a lot of the background stuff doesn’t make that, but it has been read and the important stuff noted.
I read the pages before we go, and I read the pages after when we log any finds (or DNFs) just to see the page from the perspective of someone who has now seen the cache location. Just like I like to write detailed accounts for our logs, I like to write detailed cache pages. I also like to throw in a few photos or graphics to spice up the pages. If these don’t come through on devices or if they slow down searches, and if it seems that the pages are too wordy, that is unfortunate, but I certainly enjoy writing good cache pages to enhance the experience on the caches we place.
Way to go on the 800 finds, SnyderBear. (At least that FTF wasn’t “lonely” for long!)
Waupaca is the other county missing. Haven’t checked for oldest there yet.
Nice tour you took us on there, OPS, very nice. Amen.
That sounds like a good idea. Still find ’em, still submit ’em, Dave still looks and ’em and approves ’em, but no one know who’s in the race unless you go through everyone’s “found” logs all the time. Nice twist there, Mister Greenthumb!
Hey, -cheeto-! Congratulations on find #900! And thanks for all of your hides, too. 😀

Since the challenge requires the caches to have a container, I left out virtual caches.
Isn’t the only cache in Menominee County (WI) a virtual?
People who call you up but then leave their TV, radio, whatever on loud enough so that you hear that more than you hear what the person is saying–and they initiated the call!
Congratulations on the 1000 finds, zoesbrother! Now we know why you haven’t been hanging out with us in the forums lately–you’ve been making some actual finds out in the woods. We gotta try that again sometime soon, if we can remember how to geocache.
Sure glad you were able to make all those finds before you got caught up in all the details of your next big adventure at Stout. Way to go, ZB!

A WHOLE bunch of Lonelies up this way, but I can’t find my own……..can I? 😕
No, but you can take us right to them, and then we can submit our finds for the points. 😀

As for July, I think we’ll see a definite front-runner (or maybe two) very soon. Won’t be a surprise to me.
Any secret message from Sagasu in his post?
I see that there are few new Lonelies on the list in Snyder Bear’s neck of the woods, and since he’s been bitten by the bug, I’m sure we’ll see his name come up in July!
Congrats on the huge June win, Snyder Bear!
Caught that segment, but didn’t think it was very good. Have to looking for that cache that has the pink bandana tied around the tree. Dang! We were just in Madison yesterday, too.
