I’d love to go with but have family plans that weekend. How do you figure out the starting coords from the audio? I can cut the voices down a bit by muting a speaker but still cant lock on any one voice.

Ok… So.my first log for this cache wasnt very eventful… However, moments after I logged the find and as urbanclimber and I were making our way back to the car I spotted a racine county sheriff”s deputy car behind mine. I walked towards urban climber to tell him about it and right after I told him… We were told to come out of the woods with our hands above our heads. We obviously complied despite the overwhelming difficulty of navigating through substantial vegetation with your hands in the air…as I neared the clearing I realized that there were two officers with their guns drawn and aimed directly at us. We were cuffed and questioned. Unfortunately they weren’t familiar with geocaching… And were somewhat concerned by a car parked on the side of the road with several .50 cal containers in the back seat and footprints leading into the woods near the interstate. They called in an impressive amount of backup before finally releasing us. Definitely an intense day of caching!

Tinkertoys missed all the excitement, but tooncrazy saw a bit. I arrived at GZ only to find another vehicle parked there. thinking it was another cacher, I pulled up next to him. It was then that I saw he was a gamewarden. I asked him if he knew about geocaching and was grabbing the new one here. He said he knew of geocaching but wasn’t doing it just then. He wanted to know what I was doing. I told him there was a cache nearby at which point he got out and grabbed the container like he knew where it was. He got back in his vehicle and opened the cache and pulled out the log sheet. I got out to go over and sign the log, but when I reached into my coat to get my pen, the warden leaned back and went for his gun! Holy crap, my dumb ass almost got shot. When a law enforcement officer is checking your story, don’t be putting your hands inside your coat. Obviously, my story checked out, and after explaining more fully the idea of geocaching the warden relaxed. He said he lived nearby and saw unfamiliar cars pulling up and doing suspicious things at GZ. He thought is was a drug deal or worse. I thanked him for his vigilance and we parted ways. Hopefully it will be AT LEAST 4 years before this happens to me again.

Thanks for all you reviewers do. We appreciate it.

Last year was our 1st year at West Bend and we loved the variety and creativity of the hides in the area. The hiders deserve a huge pat on the back for their efforts. Sometimes when you get that kind of saturation though, you have no choice but to hide micro P&G’s. I didn’t run across any that were in a dangerous location. We ran across one that had a tore baggie and the log was destroyed, but we replaced them since we had extras. No matter what, we look forward to visiting West Bend this year and getting our cache on, micros or not. 😀

Cubtrax, gkrone is correct. We meet at Wilsons Coffee each and every Saturday morning. We also have a Facebook group if you are on there. If you have any questions, send me an email at [email protected] and we can chat.

If it lets you, try uninstalling the update and see if that works. If it doesn’t let you do that, uninstall and reinstall the app and it might fix it.

Amazing that can be done on that bid of a scale and look so good. Thanks for sharing.
