Thanks for the info, everyone. For Trekkin’, the camera function is not important. I’m curious about the waypoint issue Michael mentioned. How many can the 450 accept? I can get tons in the 300, so I’d think the 450 would be just fine. Maybe he just needs to get the same one as mine and save the extra money for gas!
Congratulations on this one, guys. Green and Lafayette were the two we kept missing. Funny how that happens.
Maybe I’m reiterating myself from previous threads on this topic, so if I am, sorry. We enjoy the logging aspect of this game. It’s an occupational byproduct for me and Trekkin’ just likes to talk, so either way, most caches get at least something from us. We do understand that for some folks, the writing is not at all fun (also an occupational byproduct), but still would like at least a line beyond tftc if they can. Misspelled, poor grammar, whatever, we truly understand and applaud the effort. It’s very easy to get fussed about all kinds of things, but I have been trying really hard to look at our cache placements as being put out into the universe and come what may. For every cruddy log out there, we get one that makes it worth our trouble and we try to focus on the positive. What makes our hearts sing are those logs that tell a story and show that they actually read the cache listing and understand why we put the cache out there. For the most part, we place things to bring a person somewhere to enjoy. It can be harder to wax eloquent about those caches placed for the express purpose of boosting numbers, but we do try and say a line, anyway.
Congratulations, we enjoy that particular series of cemetery hides a lot as well.
That’s a fun cache for a milestone, and I love that comment, It isn’t the path that gets me excited, it IS the path. Congratulations on reaching this one while doing it your way.
Well Chris, I’m not sure some of yours can be solved any other way than by the headbanging approach, right???? :blink:
And Becca, I was decoding things by hand for a long time before I figured this out. Some I still do, but these types aren’t among them! I enjoy the ciphers and will hand decrypt as much as possible before trying the online things. They remind me of my linguistics classes in college, which I enjoyed.
Has anyone else run into problems getting the xzing site to come up? I keep getting one of those “cannot find” screens and the cached pages don’t work. I have one of these that the online reader just can’t decode. Thanks!

I encountered one of these caches in another state that could not be decoded with the online thingie that’s worked before. You just can’t get them all, and there are plenty of other caches to find. Put them out and some folks will be happy to have something a bit unique to puzzle over and find.
Congratulations on another milestone. Heck, you may as well work for them, right? 🙄 Glad to have shared a few of those with you.
Way to go, and an awesome location to mark the occasion, too. Well done!
Congratulations on a double milestone of sorts!
Congratulations! These 500 seemed to have come much more quickly than the first two, are the inefficient cachers becoming more efficient? 😉
We’re out in those kinds of places and yes, have seen some of those critters, from fairly safe distances. Rather than freak about it, I see such sightings as a gift; those animals are allowing us to see them. We aren’t foolhardy and use caution, but don’t carry firearms or any such thing. In full disclosure, Trekkin’ has done 1750s primitive encampments in the area you just cached, sleeping in those woods in only his bedroll, and on those occasions, has carried an unloaded smoothbore flintlock. 😉
The critters are out there and we share the land with them. Most don’t want to be bothered with us. In early spring, bears can be grumpy and it’s good to know that. We’ve had a few close wolf encounters. Have never had the good fortune to see pups, but if they aren’t threatened, they’ll just size us up and move along. Seeing these animals is part of why we love caching in areas like that. Though we haven’t actively pursued Lonely Caches since the first year, people might notice we’ve often visited many of them before they ever became “lonely” and offered points. The remote locations and chances for animal sightings are part of the reason we love them.
