Congratulations guys. Hmmm… What other challenges? Well, Minnesota has a county seat challenge, and there are a bunch of century challenges in other states (find 100 of a cache type). There are alphabet soup challenges where you have to find a cache starting with each letter of the alphabet, and I’m sure plenty of others if you poke around enough.

Feel better now that you beat us to a milestone 😆 (per previous conversation)? Congratulations, and hope to meet you there this weekend.

Hmmm… How to respond… Uh… It’s not about the numbers? I don’t really fixate too much on other people’s numbers but for one exception: *cough* zooma *cough*. Besides, he’s the one to watch for. We go on a caching vacation, and he widens the lead. I do believe he may be a man on a mission.

Now let’s skip the numbers and all hold hands like the smelly hippies in a 70s Coca-Cola commercial.

Congratulations on your second big milestone 😀 . We’re glad that several of those were our caches.

Oh, dear. Now we really DO feel inadequate!

Heh, heh. Don’t feel that way. Apparently being strapped to my chest is a good way to get numbers, but I wouldn’t recommend it for everyone, as I don’t know my rated capacity 😉 .

There are actually a handful of series there, including the HFRT caches, the Bear Claw series, and the Explore Coon Forks series. He also has the Etched In Stone (EIS) series in cemeteries that shares the same general area east and just a bit south of Eau Claire.

I have great memories of a solo afternoon of caching, chasing Bear Claws and listening to Garrison Keillor with the leaves changing last year 8) .

Jack Pine Savage’s caches in the Clark County Forest are really good, and in a pretty undeveloped area. You’ll have the area mostly to yourself, and there have been quite a few bear sightings in the area, though we never seem to get lucky enough.

The HFRT and Bear Claw series are more park n’ grab flavored (yes, even in the woods), and you’ll be sharing the roads with quite a few ATVers. Still, there are some really nice spots in the series, especially the Big Rock Bonus.

The Coon Forks series is also very good, but the entire series uses an odd container, a sawed-off piece of PVC with a waterproof tracing paper of some sort rolled up in it. Nice idea, but they seem light, and we found one on the ground and DNFed another that turned out to be fallen downhill, and that was only a week or two after they were out. The Coon Forks series will be mostly grabbing several caches between car moves, and it’s in a fee area. We spent the better part of a day to get all 31(?), but that was on foot and with the Noah in the chest harness.

Overall, JPS’s caches don’t see nearly enough visitors. He’s done a great job of highlighting a really pretty area with a ton of caches. We just keep going back to kick around the woods there. You won’t be disappointed, and you’ll probably run out of time before you run out of caches.

Hope that helps!

[Team Honeybunnies]

Congratulations to all of you. It’s a great feeling!

[Team Honeybunnies]

Yep, definitely the cache of the weekend, and it was promptly added to our Highlights bookmark. This being the cache of the weekend is saying a lot though, between cliffs, waterfalls and ocean-like views around every corner. If you want a milestone you’re going to smile about for a long time it comes highly, highly recommended.

The Marquette area is a cacher’s wonderland and I’d consider the move if it weren’t for even longer winters and horror story snowfall totals (at least for us).

[Team Honeybunnies]

Here I would have thought that was one of yours Hemi, but I suppose that’s a long way for a Carribean Amphibean 😉 .

[Team Honeybunnies]

This is a great series with solid-to-stiff terrain depending on your tendencies. The gate probably won’t be open, which means about a .2 walk to get to the beginning area. It’s a school forest, so there are trails everywhere but some open woods bushwacking. Lots o’ contour lines. Recommended. I think the Bjornson event is still on our Highlights bookmark.

[Team Honeybunnies]

Geez. I guess someone had something to say. They should really be bold enough to say it without hiding behind a sock puppet though. I think we’re all reasonable adults…

[Team Honeybunnies]

We’re #539 🙂 .
