Congratulations, that’s a great milestone cache.

Back on topic….before we both retired, my position was part time and I had a day off every six working days. I LOVED planning out a caching trip and going it alone. Upon retirement, since Trekkin’ still had a couple months to go, I took a great road trip across Ontario and back into the US to go visit my brother on Long Island, caching my way along. It was an awesome trip and some of the caches I did, especially the one in Killarney Provincial Park, were way better alone.

I really enjoy time alone. Maybe I’m weird that way. I know I’m weird many other ways, might as well add that to the list.

Harmonics?

Nope, but we learned a bit of that, too. This is a trick to make the strings sound like a bell. Not a big thing musically, but it sounds fun at the end of a song and most importantly….I was able to do it!

Barry, We enjoy the smaller events with minimal caches to tempt us. Even when we try to sit and visit, if there are new ones out, no one is there to visit, anyway.

I’m just curious what people might be the next thing to emerge. The star chasing thing….didn’t look at the link yet….is going out to get the high ratings. Yes, we do that, but we get other things that look interesting as well.

Yep, got that on the list as long as we’re close by. We aren’t really looking for that kind of stuff, but……if it’s close and we qualify, we aren’t going to say “no’ and drive on by.

Clayton, I saw the webcam also. Do you mean the Reflections virtual? That is intriguing.

[Trekkin and Birdin]

Didn’t even think of Churchill Downs, but I already have all the stuff at Cave Hill Cemetery on my bookmark. There are a bunch of ECs on an island, but I don’t think we’ll have the time to get to those, which is a shame….looks like there are a lot of neat ones out there.

I had thought that was it (and it looks like a cool stop), but I did finally do a little mapwork and found one at the factory/museum

And what would that do for my flashlight battery life? 😀

[Trekkin and Birdin]

That is a TRUE numbers accomplishment worthy of pride. Congratulations and may you have just as many happy years to come!

P.S. Just to clarify….the number of years, not the number of finds (though that’s great, too!)

[Trekkin and Birdin]

That was it! I knew about that light bulb screen but pretty much forgot it existed since it wasn’t a problem. Thanks!

[Trekkin and Birdin]

Thanks Barry, Not quite the same problem, but I didn’t know of that resource, so it’s good info. I can see the buttons, but there is just not any backlight at all: only thing that helps is the screen recalibration.

Wish Pooh’s Pal could tell me just what he did! He likes to look at the map when we’re driving and says stuff like “over the river and then this way” and such. Like I said….the etrex will be a big disappointment! LOL

[Trekkin and Birdin]

Awesome cache for a big milestone. Congratulations!

[Trekkin and Birdin]

Timely way to mark that milestone….the caching one with that cache, I mean. Congrats on both milestones, too.

[Trekkin and Birdin]

Congratulations to you, too, and thanks for all you’ve done for the game in our state.
