    Congrats, Justin! Unfortunately, we are no longer accepting members into the Millenium Club 😉 . I do understand we have a position open for cabana boy though…

    in reply to: Cemetery caches – owners opinion wanted #1872629

    I like the WSQ. It follows the form, yet is also our own.

    in reply to: Trackable Items from 2006 – What does this mean #1872887

    Nope. While events seem to eat trackables from time to time, the random sampling I looked at are just owners not having logged out the coins they brought to the event. Some of them have fairly recent discover logs. There might be a couple missing, but most of them will end up moving along eventually.

    in reply to: Anybody up to a Meet & Greet? #1872763

    If you run event, cachers are bound to show up. The only way to get us faster is to stand at the coordinates and yell Free Beer! (not a bad idea by the way 😉 ) We’d be almost sure to attend. We have to meet our new neighbors 😀 .

    I think this is a great idea. I’d broached the idea last time I was with Zuma as well. Marc has been the most prolific placing cemetery caches I believe, and his numbering system has been handy and is immediately recognizable. Exactly the reason we would want to consider an organized system. For those who aren’t cemetery cachers, it’s fair warning, and for those of us who have become aficionados, we can plan accordingly.

    I had thought to start placing some cemetery caches this spring, so I’ll be interested to see where this goes

    Well put. Probably misquoting, but the old proverb is “The journey is the destination” :mrgreen:

    in reply to: goals for 2007 #1872553

    Our goals are a little more arcane. We’ve come to love virtuals both when home and travelling. The constant example I bring up is the one in Virginia near the Wilderness battlefield that takes you to the grave site of Stonewall Jackson’s arm. People talk about the places they never would have found without geocaching, but how about the places they never would have known to seek? So, we intend to try to find the rest of the remaining virtuals in Wisconsin this year. That’s not saying much, as we have twenty-some left.

    The DeLorme is still a goal although we should have that done hopefully this weekend…

    Another goal is another bit of an oddity. I’d like to find the rest of the remaining caches that were placed before 2002. While not a rule, they do tend to take us to some more interesting places and/or have nice walks. There are only so many left, and I think we have less than 50 left to find. None of these goals are set in stone, but they’ll definitely add to the pleasure of our caching days.

    And of course, the numbers will come… 😉

    in reply to: omaha bike trail #1872457

    I have yet to read the new and unproved 😉 cache placement guidelines, but I remember hearing something that a single cacher placing a string along a trail in this fashion was going to be frowned upon. Saturation by multiple cachers rather than just one I guess. No linky unfortunately…

    Woot! I unlocked the Beatles haircut! And I protected Boston from the threat of pop culture!

    in reply to: Horicon Marsh suggestions needed #1872064

    I don’t have a linky, but there’s a nice auto tour cache that goes all the way around counter-clockwise making several stops. You can cache your way around and complete this one after.

    Not being dog owners I can’t help you on that point, but the bird activity should definitely be up.

    Enjoy! It really is a pretty area. The only caveat I can think of, and I don’t think it’ll be all that important that time of year is wild parsnip. I’ve been blistered by it at least three times on visits to the Horicon. You’d think I’d learn… 🙄

    in reply to: Honeybunnies #3 in Wisconsin DeLorme Challenge #1871976

    I’d love to see Zuma’s wetsuit pictures 😆 ! Funny he never mentioned that, but everyone gets something different out of the experience, right?

    in reply to: Honeybunnies #3 in Wisconsin DeLorme Challenge #1871974

    Sorry guys, but we’re heading on vacation, so it’ll be the weekend after we get back. But what a ride! I’ll post after we’ve actually finished the Challenge.

    I don’t get it. You mean like a battery-powered hula statue? That WOULD be weird to find in the woods 😯 .

    Heh, heh. Nice.

    This ought to work in a pinch for what I was looking for:
