Ahhh… the dead horse 🙂 . Needs a few flies, because she’s been dead a loooong time. Couldn’t we leave this on the national boards where angst and hand-wringing are a sanctioned pasttime?
This bugbear rears it’s pestilential head every year and every year we all espouse our opinions and go back to our corners convincing no one but ourselves. That won’t prevent me from opining a bit once more. I will say in advance that these opinions are mine only, and if anyone respects my opinion they shouldn’t. There’s no such thing as an expert geocacher
I don’t log event finds, but that doesn’t make me some kind of white knight. It makes me someone who has chosen to play the game MY way. Period. When the cache owner specifically states that your are allowed to log multiple stages on a multi cache, I do. That does not make me a minion from the fiery pits of hell. It makes me someone who has chosen to play the game MY way. Period. Geocaching.com is not a governing body, it is a listing service.
If the numbers aren’t important, why is so much time and energy expended on other peoples’ numbers? If people play for numbers, great. It is the pleasure they are deriving from our hobby. If people play because their dog likes the taste of broken McToys, great. It is the pleasure they are deriving from the hobby.
I’m sure the family down the street who logged their third find couldn’t give a fig about any of this. They’d probably more likely be baffled that anyone would spend all of their free time doing this. Would you punish them for logging the cache they found at an event? And why? To what purpose?
Sorry that I’ve done nothing but fuel this discussion, but I needed to say that 😳 . Here’s your stick back Tie.
Yes indeed, I have “Marie”, named in honor of the soon-to-be-missus. I told her that I named it Marie so she could tell me what to do even when she couldn’t be with me 😆 . When we’re caching together I’m not allowed to call it by name or talk to it, which is like tying my hands behind my back when I’m telling a story. You HAVE to talk to your GPS or the caches hide when they see you coming.
We’re not a cult! We’re a loose affiliation of like-minded individuals. Now drink your Kool-aid. It prevents DNFs.
Congratulations Justin! But watch out, Coastie might have had some riot training 😉 .
More laudatory comments from the Honeybunnies. It’s great to finally meet our neighbors to the north. We look forward to sharing the trails for some too 😀 .

And if you were to take up Seth’s invitation to cache with him, you could easily break …. a leg, or 1000!
Unsightly parasitic infections, yes. Montezuma’s revenge, check. But not a single cacher has broken a leg on my watch. May have broken a couple of hearts according to Zuma though 🙄 .
Congrats on the milestone Tim. Couldn’t happen to nicer people 😀 .
Nice to see our area supporting some great cachers AND great caches. Congratulations! 500’s just around the corner.
And of course congratulations must come from the Honeybunnies too. It’s been great sharing the trails all these times the last year or so. 4000 by the end of the year? 😀
So is Coastie Girl shaking in her boots yet 😆 ? Congratulations. See you again soon.
Alright! Congratulations! We’re glad we could be there for some of that number. And you’ve been placing some fine caches to boot. The Liars Clubs are instant classics.
Absolutely okay, and nice family pics to boot. Now if it was a fake electrical box cache, and you have your finger in it and you’re not dead, that would be verboten. Kind’ve a common sense type thing. Unless it’s something super-sneaky, and the hide isn’t compromised, bring on the trophy shots 8) !
Page 53? Really?! Drop us a line if you’re coming this way and we can give you the guided tour. Maybe. It’d be good to meet you 8) .

Yeah, my intention was to break it down to two PQs to fit the size restriction. I don’t have the kml any longer, and the route we picked actually strung together several bookmark routes all the way to the east coast. Basically I’m begging someone to save me from myself (no comments from the peanut gallery 🙄 😆 ). I’ll go through and bookmark, but I’m trying to be lazy AND learn something. Thanks!
Congratulations Pat! We hope we can be there for some of the next thousand too.
Sorry guys, that attractive redhead in the front row would be Jesse the Geodog, Zuma’s best friend and a veteran of roughly 1500 cache finds (Zuma’s best guess) 😀 .
Though we didn’t reconquer the Gauntlet with the other veterans on Saturday, we did share the warmth of the fire and good companionship that evening. Lil Otter was truly the hostess with the mostest, and a good time was had by all.
