That is quite an achievement seldom|seen! You have definitely gone above and beyond making use of every possible nook and cranny around town. Just when I think there could not be room for another one, somehow they keep popping up! Thanks for all you do! Remember, pace yourself!

Ditto here. Way to go, s/s!

While we are not into those kind of numbers with only 20 hides ourselves, we can note that for “Finds By Owner” for us we have found 52 of yours them or 3.88 percent. Which puts you in the top 5.

And, at this rate it will take us about another five years (or more) to get another 50 of them.

Thanks for the hides!

A great day of caching with friends (loved ones really) that is full of laughter. (and a delicious Mexican meal afterward doesn’t hurt)

marc’s Cemetery Challenge.

Seeing parts of the state/country that I would have never come across before.

Driving past a park, sign, cemetery, etc. and thinking “there’s a cache right there.”

My “lame” eTrex.

A day caching with silent sweech and her ‘lame’ eTrex. 😀

➡ And, seeing the cache before she does while we are still 40 yards away ❗

But, then laughing at our favorite Mexican eatery (Senor T’s) while we enjoy our meal.

Thanks for drawing that to our attention. And, I now know that 8.03 percent of “Finds by Owner” are yours.

Which puts you at the top of the stat chart as we have found 107 of your caches!

thanks again for the call out here

Printing out of GSAK gives you the same same info and you can save paper at the same time. Another nice feature of GSAK.

And, if needed you can order them (eg from Home coords) and have them print out by bearing and distance which is nice.

For Batteries.

Batteries that make it through a hard day of caching.

And, for those Batteries that are waiting for you when you get home and they are all charged up and ready to go for any FTF’s that may pop-up!

Batteries you rock!

I am grateful to have this thread to vent ‘pet peeves’ or gripes or whatever…..and to read some that I haven’t thought of……because it is healthy to vent. 😆

I have a Garmin 60CSx that work great. Up graded from the Blue Etrex(may it rest in pieces) I just bought City Navigator and love it.

Pretty much ditto here.
Have the Garmin GPSMAP 60 Cx variant.

Do not miss my blue eTrex as is was awful under the tree canopy for doing the last 40 – 50 feet for GZ. Especially, when you are bushwhacking and don’t have the ability to move about as well.

We use the Garmin 60Cx for fishing, travel, caching and all so we are happy with it. And, I am glad not to have to use the eTrex anymore.

The growing number of TB’s (and geocoins) that go MIA.

People who (have one or two finds) and take a trackable then never respond to e-mails asking for help in moving them along. Ugh!
YIKES!

[Sparse Grey Hackle]

Find ’em most likely. That’s the fun part. And, yeah it kinda of the ‘what comes first’ kind of thing…the cache find or the cache hide? It is fun to do the creative thing for hiding a cache and all.

We are really not into “the numbers” thing, as we only have twenty hides to regularly maintain and look after. Just could not imagine what it would be like to have a flock of caches greater than 100 or even 200 for that matter.

Or, try over 2,000 or more? YIKES! A ‘Johnny Appleseed’ cacher type that throws them out all over the place and then does zero maintenance.
