For the most part, yes. I don’t know anyone up there. I do know a muggle friend that may come along, but will wait for me at the shoreline while I go to the island.
Not bad. I’m looking forward to giving that a shot when I go up there on the 25th. Thanks.

You do not need any equipment for this one. Just a pair of shoes that you can wear in the water. You can walk to the island by stepping on sandstones all along the way. If there are no waves the water will stay below your waste. It is well worth it. Many locals cross over to the little island to hang out and it is likely you will see some crossing when you go. The cache is on the other end not where the locals hang out.

TE,
How long is the walk in the water from shore to shore?
Way to go, Mathcrew. Good job.
Have a have trip back home.

The breakwater caches are pretty memorable too.
Marquette is one of our favorite places to cache. We were up there earlier this week and would recommend any in Presque Isle Park. If you have specific questions just let us know.
TEThanks, TE. We’ll see how that goes when I get up there.
I’m looking forward to getting my Michigan counts up. My find counts for Wisconsin almost outnumber that of Michigan’s at about a 3 to 1 ratio and I live in Michigan. As of this post, I have 138 finds in Wisconsin, but just 46 in Michigan.
ROFL.
Furfool, thank you for the laugh. I needed that after a long day at work.

Well, congratulations on another ….. accomplishment.
What’s next?
I would have to say get every single cache in the state 😛 But with new ones placed daily, that’s gonna be damn near impossible.
It rained today. Get rain gear.
Sorry for the bump, but I’m planning a trip to Marquette for next weekend (July 24/25) for a couple days of caching. If I don’t get my 200th find before then, what are some recommended caches worthy of a milestone find?
I can’t do Lil’ Presque Isle because I don’t have the equipment to do that cache. I can still do rough T4 terrains that do not require special equipment.
I had a few T4 caches bookmarked for my 200th find such as the one Zoesbro got for his 1000th.
But if I don’t get to those caches by next weekend, then Marquette will be where I get my 200th. I want it to be worthwhile and be worth remembering because I won’t be back in Marquette for a long time.
Thanks in advance 😉
None of those caches are mine. I just have notifications of all local caches (finds, DNF’s, disable. re-enable, new publishes) and those three e-mails came in.
Looking back at his other finds though, I realize he may be a family member or friend of another cacher that he went caching with before he got his own account and may have just backlogged his finds.
Edit to Jim & Linda – yeah, Wis Backpacker is the person I am referring to, but didn’t want to bring up his name as he is local to me.
WTG on joining the millennium club.
This article is worth reading.
Very interesting.
With the exception of my ending line “Thanks for bringing me out here”, I’m not a cut and paster.
Even on a numbers run or at a quick P & G such as Lighthousenut’s Top Spot series or even at P & R’s, I always write something unique for that cache. I take a notebook with me and after I find/DNF the cache, I jot a note of that cache so I remember it.
As a result, I’ve had some cache owners send me an e-mail to thank me for writing an unique log because it gives them a reason to hide more caches instead of the typical “TFTC.”
Cache owners take the time to make the hide, especially in the remote areas, so I feel I should take the time to write an unique log for each one.
But I never had more than 21 or 22 finds in one day. We’ll see how that goes when I go on a day long run with 30+ caches.
Nice job, Zoesbro.
Hope to run into you on the trails someday.
Had a decent day today. Was 14 for 17 in GB, all on the west side. Logging my finds now. If I left earlier and had a nuvi, I would had more finds, but I got lost a few times looking for the parking spots. But still, 14 finds in 7 hours still wasn’t that bad.
