I also have a bookmark list of each state’s oldest cache. http://www.geocaching.com/bookmarks/view.aspx?guid=c083a980-f4ee-4105-8fcf-2d3c9244db65
I made a bookmark list for a challenge cache we own. Just go to the cache listing and find it in the sidebar of bookmarks.

The one you’re looking at is the original container and log book, which makes it really cool. Kind of musty, but cool.
I saw where he had requested archive on a whole bunch of them, with the note, “I don’t like this cache.”
If only……. 😈
Nope, not Roman, LOL. And nope, no puzzle cache. That would cause me to reveal my secrets!
Well, I was born XX years ago on this date. So I’ll probably be eating cake. Preferably carrot cake. Maybe caching, maybe not!
I repeat NOT add the newest Oregon update to your unit.[
How new? I added whatever was new about a month ago. I have had that lost satellite thing, but it’s usually because I’ve set it on my lap upside down.
Turn it back over and it comes back quickly.[/quote]Brian, Tried it but it doesn’t like me. Technology’s way of telling us to finish the ones we have started, LOL.
I can’t even get a return on my validation email to load my PQ and see the one or two pages we’ve completed on this one! LOL
We’re finishing up Minnesota first before doing this one all over again. Between Minnesota, the waterfall thing and the rustic road thing, we have
plenty to keep us entertained for quite some time!Actually, the change makes a lot of sense, in light of the fact the old atlas is getting pretty tough to come by. And since there are a number of us who probably could have met this one from the starting gate, the date qualifier makes it more fair, too. Thanks for all the hard work done to keep this one fresh and new for the state, Brian.
To answer cheeto’s question, p. 57 and now once again, p.104…at least in the old atlas….had only one available cache.

We’re looking for those WRR caches when we travel now as well. And….I’m reminded that I want to revisit some close to home that we discovered last year courtesy of some placed by wisundevil. I’d commented that they’d be spectacular in a few more days….then life got in the way. Don’t want to miss that color this time around!
Someone mentioned cache saturation. I grew up in Columbia Heights MN. My parents still live there, so of course we keep a running PQ for visits home.
Guess who else lives in Columbia Heights? King Boreas. Someone actually maintains a bookmark list titled “KBs cruel but interesting challenges.” We’ve found some of them. Others we never will. Needless to say, trying to “clean up” close to Mom and Dad’s house will be out of the question. I could be wrong, but I’m guessing he has upwards of 100 such challenges placed all over the Metro area, many close to his home. There are probably 36 within 5 miles of the old home front!
Bill, If I’m not mistaken, you actually have a choice of three letterbox cemetery hides over that way. Check out sandlanders’ profile for them.
Like Rick, we place challenge caches we have met ourselves first. We have one more ready, and permission from the landowner for placement, but have a couple more caches to find ourselves before we meet it. So it’s been on hold.
I know for some who are in our “area,” the placement of our couple challenges has been a source of annoyance. But rest assured, there are other caches in our area that have been as much an “annoyance” for us. Personally, I love the fact that there’s “just one more” that’s a bit out of reach to keep us interested. In the end, people place what they enjoy finding themselves, and we like that stuff. We know not everyone does, but there are lots and lots of other caches to find. BTW, KSpud became the second finder on our How Hungry challenge this weekend!
We enjoy them and find that they often give us some focus to decide where we want to cache. I know they aren’t for everyone and there are some we won’t ever get. There are other kinds of caches we tire of, but we know others love those, so to each their own.
Thanks everyone….we think the magic number was in a little tiny town in northern Minnesota called Grylga at a baseball field. I had a blast that weekend exploring the far northern reaches of the lower 48 by going to the Northwest Angle and boarding a boat for Garden Island in Lake of the Woods.
Even managed a couple Manitoba caches and found an underwater international boundary benchmark.Trekkin’ is a Yooper so I’ve seen a bit of that lifestyle, but I’m telling you….this area makes the U.P look positively urbane. We weren’t really planning on doing bunches of DeLorme challenges, but I’m Minnesota born and bred and it’s given me a chance to see parts of my home state I’d never seen, as well as revisiting some old favorites with new eyes. We’re about 2/3 of the way through now. I do believe, though, the the DeLorme champs from central Wisconsin may very well have added a new one to their list this past week. Just sayin’.
Congratulations. From the North Shore to Stoughton, you’ve been covering a lot of ground of late.
