Maybe some SCUBA certified cacher can place one at these coordinates!
Congratulations Jim. Sounds like a big hatch since we were there, but still makes for a great milestone. I hear calamine lotion soothes the itch real well! 🙄
Splash, I loved your comments on the page, they reflected a lot of our own musings. We weren’t in any hurry, either, and enjoyed returning to various parts of the states to experience them at different times or in more depth. There might be a page or two where we only got one to qualify, but I know we’ve returned to those places since that time and found the waterfalls, cliffs or rivers we’d only spied the first time around. For example, we keep finding ourselves on the Lake Michigan shoreline, which we’d barely explored before these challenges. It couldn’t be more different than where we live and there are places all along there we keep discovering.
Honestly, we still find challenges like this one way more satisfying because of where they have taken us. A person can do park and grabs to meet the requirements and that’s fine. We threatened to do that with the Part Deux, but….we just couldn’t. There is so much to discover out there and the back roads are always more fun than the big highways. For us, that’s the whole enjoyment of this game, anyway. Clearing our map, getting lots, those things just don’t matter to us anymore. Exploring, stopping to see something that has no caches at all but intrigues us, finding a neat little local restaurant for lunch….that’s what we do now and a challenge like the DeLorme suits that intent so nicely.
Congratulations….that’s a series we’ve been wanting to do, too. Great way to mark a milestone!
Splash, For the Minnesota original, we had to keep track with our atlas and submit the bookmark. It’s certainly easier to have the cool map generated, but doing it that way hones a person’s ability to read a map….which can be very handy when the autorouter fails.
Oh, it isn’t really a problem, for us anyway. We have long since passed the “need” to get everything in a certain radius. We’ve been joking that the “problem” is the result of me logging in from the living room and Trekkin’ logging in from the bedroom. If they did do an update, it will probably settle itself out eventually.
But we share the same account. We view on different computers, but the account is just Trekkin’ and Birdin’. Another of life’s little mysteries, I guess.
Where there’s a will, there’s a way…congrats Jim!
That’s absolutely incredible! Congratulations…thanks for keeping so many o their journeys.
We completely agree. We’ve met many nice folks because of our hides. We do maintenance and get the chance to explore those areas in different seasons. I’ve made a life bird sighting or two along the way. Most of all, we feel like we are giving back for all those we’ve found. In fact, later today we’ll be hiking one of our areas when some cachers from Iowa stop in, doing any maintenance as we go. Should be fun!
The one down side? We wish more folks would get out and really explore. Most of ours involve a little hiking, cause that’s what we enjoy ourselves, but those of ours that get the most visits are the few park and grabby ones we do own. Oh well. We know that the few who do visit those appreciate them. The logs on those are usually great reading, too.
What a wonderful way to mark that milestone….whether any of it is true or not, all good stories do contain a kernel of truth. Even the fishy ones!
Congratulations, you two!
Congratulations on the first grand finds! Cache on!
Cool looking puzzle, the sort of thing I enjoy. Congratulations on a very significant milestone with good company to share it!
What an awesome milestone choice. I did it two years ago about this same time and it was a wonderful walk in the woods. Congratulations.
Our pet peeve is when someone hides it to be “more winter friendly.” Yes, this is Wisconsin, but for various reasons, not all caches need to be placed that way. When that’s been done for us, the cache in question often goes missing.
