1000–what a super milestone! Congratulations!
All the counties in the state–way to go! Much tougher here than in like–oh, say–Delaware? 😀 😀 😀
If you have to do 1000 miles, there’s no better place to do it than in the great state of Wisconsin. Good luck!
Hey, can that be a new “Fav Fishin’ Spot”? Fishin’ for Cheeto and Hemi?
Congrats on the milestone and on the great adventure you had to get it!

I’m not sure but ZB may be the youngest single member team (not counting Noah!)
Don’t have to count Noah!…yet. He’s not 16, the age for the WGA, but we may have to claim him soon if he keeps up his caching stats.
We’re just amazed at your accomplishments, ZB! “ZB” should stand for “zippin’ by” because you’re so fast–running, biking, and caching. Way to go, and congrats on the milestone.
(Will you be tops on the FTP list someday? 8) )

I don’t create creative cache containers but I admire the ones that I’ve found or read about. Here’s one you may want to check out if you’re ever in the Cedar Falls, Ia., area: GC1DRM6 This looks too cool to last.
Just checked out that cache page and all I have to say is 😕 😯 ❓
Got the newsletter today with no problems. Great job on the letter!
Hey, that’s a great accomplishment! Walking’s more my game–never could get the running down after I turned 10 or so. Just keep moving, I say.
Looking forward to your 6 in 60 in another few months (or sooner?).
Hm-mmmm. Maybe you’ll be going faster. You’re already doing 6 mph, so with more endurance you will start cutting down the times.
I think yew are right!

Given that it had recent finds, the cache owner is actively playing the game, and the folks who replaced it could not have looked long, it probably would have been better not to replace it, and just log the DNF. Just my opinion.
zumaHeck, they didn’t even have to log the DNF if they were reluctant to do so. Just move on to the next cache and forget about this one, or come back later to check for it again. No rule that you HAVE to log a DNF, but we do because maybe it will help the cache owner or future seekers of a cache.
Thanks for the tips, labrat–just got back from our trip to Illinois and tried some of the rest stops, on your advice. The snow wasn’t a problem, but the shoulder-high grasses/weeds/etc. weren’t too pleasant in a couple of them. Made for some nice geotrails, though.
Did some caches where we were staying in Champaign and more where we visited in Charleston. We liked those better because we could take our time with them. One we had researched before we left and figured would be a good one was GC17XYJ, the Charleston mural multi. that combined exploring the area, gathering information, and looking for a regular final cache. Took some time, but was very enjoyable.
It seems that Illinois geocachers have a fascination with yew bushes. If the cache wasn’t hidden in one, it was close enough so that we found ourselves looking through the yew bushes. Even the one where we had put in slightly off coordinates led us to—yew bushes!
Say, we didn’t know we are now eligible for a bronze. The earth caches we have done here and in Illinois didn’t require a lot of us, like long hikes and rugged terrain, so we don’t feel like we’ve “mastered” earthcaching yet, even though we’ve learned a lot from doing these.
The hardest part of doing an earthcache for us so far seems to be keeping track of what the requirements for logging are, and then remembering what we found out, and then remembering to email the owner.
However, we do see long hikes and rugged terrain in our future…
Welcome, and enjoy the geocaching experience!
Welcome to the WGA! It’s the frosting on the geocaching cake!
Gee, we go away for a few days and come back to find that T&B got #2000 and the DeLorme final! What will happen if we take one of our 2-3 week trips out west? T&B crack five digits and Baby Honeybunny passes up his parents? Way to go, and in such a short time, too.
