    I have started doing the La Crosse area and would recommend the Hixton Forrest caches as well. I have been heading up about an hour or so before dark to catch the sunsets, it is truely amazing. Also, you do really need to stay away from that really crappy cache in West Salem. I got approached by someone who kept demanding quarters, said he lived there but I didn’t believe him.

    Guess I should have used the word “imply” instead of “say”. Interesting how a nerve was struck though…

    in reply to: One power trail after another???? #1932420

    I for one have been enjoying these power trails and have been doing many of them on bicycle with my family. To say there is little to no value is surprising, especially coming from board members. If you all take the time to actually read most of the cache pages, as I do, you learn a great deal of information about the particular state, national park, movie or whatever.

    The America the Beautiful series has become an inspiration for several areas of this country I have not yet visited and am planning to do so, probably caching along the way.

    The way we have been doing the bike trails is to ride all out to the end of our planned segment, usually between 10-20 miles and then cache back to our car. What this does is allow for an incedible workout at first and a slow burndown on the way back. We also frequent some of the small establishments we come across along the way usually for lunch, a coffee or other cold beverage. So far these trails have given me a far better workout than hiking for 5 miles in the Kettle Moraine. I am sure most of you will admit that kind of workout we can all probably use.

    With the opinions that some of you have posted maybe you could advocate for a Cache Quality Review process outside of the standard Geocaching review, that way they could all pass your vision of quality and value…

    Way to go! Hope to join you at that level in about a month.

    I believe there are some in the boardwalk village area but can not remember if you can get there via Disney transportation. You can pick up regular city busses at downtown disney and transfer from there. Have a great time, all the virtuals are really easy, just a matter of getting pics.

    in reply to: Wow….700 finds/day #1931554

    They did this in only 20 hours which means they had to find a cache every 1 minute and 43 seconds. Seems difficult to me unless there was some leapfrogging going on or something like that. I guess it is possible for a team but are you actually witnessing all the containers this way?

    in reply to: MWGB who is going? #1931268

    We will be there again, only a few sites down from you all.

    in reply to: 7K for T & B #1930239

    Just doing the Bugline in a day is impressive, but 7000? I hope to be there in about 4 more years. Congrats!

    in reply to: #4100 Shocks Sweetlife #1929176

    Way to go! Hope to run into you in a few weeks.

    One of my caches, Caching with the Turtles, was only 150 feet from the largest find in Walworth County 2 summers ago. The cops found the cache and the DNR gave them my info. They called me at work and asked me questions for about 30 minutes. Just think if I had only gone 150 feet further down that deer trail…

    in reply to: TICKS #1926744

    Was in Bong last weekend placing new caches and had NO ticks on any family member (or 2 dogs) and we all went deep into the underbrush.

    Way to go, I did that one yesterday and hustling up that hill certainly brings on the burn.

    in reply to: Campout Cache Hiding Day #1928264

    I will be there and plan on hiding at least 4 and maybe more caches. See you at 9am.

    in reply to: Bear Paw Geocache Merit Badge Campout #1928049

    I will probably be able to assist as well. Besides, I do not need an excuse to visit my favorite secret fishing hole on the Wolf.

    in reply to: Needle in a Haystack hides #1927551

    I give them about 5 minutes, less if it is a bison in a rock pile.
