Congratulations, that’s one of those caches we hope to do ourselves one day!
Didn’t we just congratulate him like yesterday? 😉 Congratulations on your newest milestone.
Trekkin’s a Deadhead, and he says, nope, they have more life than this! LOL
Thanks for sharing this Anne. Too fun!
I just saw a similar post in the Iowa forums. The poster there discovered just under 8000 active caches in the state.
So it would appear Iowa is less saturated. Must be because they only have river borders, no Great Lakes! 🙄
Way to share the fun! Congratulations to both of you.
Congratulations on your third century!
I thought now that our dog ate my GPSr, she could find the caches without incentive.
Not gonna happen! She can’t stamp my letterbox finds since she ate my stamp, either. Dumb dog!
Yeah! Congratulations on a pretty significant number…won’t be long and you’ll be at five grand!
As I understand it, if a cache has been archived by reviewers and the owner is non-responsive, it eventually goes on the list. Also, cache rescue can be used by the cache owner to ask that it be removed, or that maintenance or cache checkup be done if for some reason they can’t do so themselves.
As to the Ile de Diable….in one log, the owner mentions taking the kayak out to check on it. If I had better maps to show me where and how, I’d be game to do that, but unless it’s like Goose Island around here, I’d be hesitant to ‘yak myself out in the middle of the Mississippi. The one photo for that cache shows a powerboat.
Once you have cached-out your home territory, you need to change your goals. Try the 72 county challenge, the DeLorme challenge, the 50 State challenge or Bingo Black-out. Or come up with a challenge of your own. There is a lot more to it than just getting the ones near your home.
We’ve done all that, Ray, LOL. Our goal these days is getting nine blackout cells filled with a cache published before 4/06/07, so that when I next visit friends in Napa Valley, I can take a swing by the original Fizzy in California.
5/4.5….that one’s gonna be the toughie!Other than that….we cache to discover and have fun. We will always take the remote hikes or paddles or free rock or tree climbs over urban stuff, but as long as we are exploring, discovering new places or things and having fun, we’ll keep playing. Goals are nice to help us choose where we want to go, but in the end….it’s fun and discovery for us.
P.S. 50 states is an uattainable one for us, probably. Something about Trekkin’ not wanting to board airplanes. That last little gaffe with NWA has not helped my case!
We’ve done a few around here. There’s one I’d like to do, but it’s in the middle of the Mississippi, I don’t know that area for paddling and don’t want to get trampled by a barge.
It sounds like it was a cool cache, and there isn’t anything left of it and hasn’t been for a long time. Too bad.
We’ve cleaned out our 50 mile radius completely at least twice. It’s not quite as dense as say the Fox Valley, but it includes the LaCrosse area. I just checked without filtering, and at the moment, there are 1244 caches in that radius. It was fun to be able to say we did it, but then….we have to travel much further to make a day of it now, which isn’t always a blessing, especially since we’re back at work and our lives have changed a lot lately so that running off on a whim is just not an option now.
So, we have changed our perspective. It is no longer a goal to get them all. If we try it once, don’t find it and don’t enjoy it…..we can move on. If it doesn’t interest us…so what? Someone else can get it. The world will continue on as it has, whether we clear them all again or not. Really. It will.

But usually, just the bag of tricks in our little pack. Even in the north woods. Heck, those boys who grew up there can wrassle any bears with their own two hands, right?
10/26/2009 at 10:45 pm in reply to: Is there a Doctor in the house???? Dream Interpitations #1915770I think there is no hope. Sorry! LOL
That Burger King guy gives both Trekkin’ and me the willies. He’s freaky! Sorry, Jim! I’m sure your daughter can make us change our mind, but she’s not on the commercials!
Congratulations! So didja sink ’em all yet?
