Congratulations to Honeybunnies on quite an amazing achievement.
As for stories about anything about “butt paste?” I dunno!
THIS wife doesn’t say that, and neither does Timberline Echoes’ wife. Maybe the Calvetti boys just married wisely! 🙄
Sorry marc for the OT, but I just couldn’t resist. Back to regularly scheduled programming now.
Nope, in fact I think we’ve done all those others, including a wonderful 5 mile cross country ski trek!
Glad to hear the Pirate’s Plunder will be available to find yet. We’ll be back up that way eventually!
As someone who enjoys puzzle caches, here’s my MO. We don’t have many true puzzles down here. I’ve put out one, and hope to increase that number, but I seem to be better at solving some than figuring out how to create them.
We started with Rochester, as it’s only about an hour away from here. Most of those have now been solved, and most of THOSE are found. Someone archived one last week that I spent hours reading NASCAR stuff to solve, we went twice over the winter and concluded it was encased in ice. Oh well. I know it hadn’t been found since last April, so I’m guessing all the local puzzle freaks had already found it. So be it.
As the cache owner, it’s up to you whether or not to keep them active. We haven’t been up that way save for a little bit. I know I spent time solving one in the Reforestation Camp and hope to actually find it one of these days. But if the owners have reason to archive it, that’s just my tough luck. I still had the fun of solving them. I know not everyone is so nonchalant about such things, but that’s really their issue, not yours. I suppose the argument could be made that reworking an archived puzzle makes a new one available, and as someone who’s found all but three caches within 50 miles, that has appeal. But again….that’s our issue. We do have other hobbies to keep us amused if the caches don’t appear. 😯

And happy birthday, too.
I was noticing that! Just talked to Trekkin’, who’s in Point caching with half of drhaas, and they’ve found several of Noah’s feeding caches. They got quite wet in the process, I understand.
Seems appropriate somehow!
I had to go to school, so I couldn’t go play today. 😥
Aha! Another of the many wonders of GSAK, thanks marc!
The real prize in searching for these hasn’t been the points, but the places they bring us. We looked at one with zuma and Robin the other night and just wished we had an inner tube to get to it. It’s on the Apple River, but the river was running even too fast for Trekkin’, who lately will cross most anything in search of a find! Even HE was intimidated, so what does that say, LOL?
These days, we have mostly looked to see what might be nearby as we travel for other caching adventures. Some we’ve been able to get, others have just been too out of reach. Glad there are folks like Dave and s|s to pick up our slack!
Wow! The real prize is the fact that Dave is assuring that caching in Wisconsin remains a high quality experience. Hope you’re mending quickly from that fall, too!
I think Dave just hasn’t submitted his latest reports, is all. I heard he gave himself a nice Father’s Day gift of caching in a Lonely Cache rich area!
We will always be the bridesmaids in this game. Just don’t have the drive to drive all over, LOL.
Congratulations, and great to enjoy the milestone on a road trip, makes it even more memorable!
Michelle, That’s usually my guarantee of an amazing sighting, too. These last couple times, I just was lucky. Maybe to make up for the bazillion times I wasn’t.
Yes, we have seen a badger en route to a cache, over near Houston MN. You have to take a switchback road to the top of the ridge, and at the turn, there’s all this typical rock stuff on the bluff. Since we were going about 10MPH, I could see this face looking out at us from a small den. We stopped and watched until it turned around and waddled in. Fun!
Looking good, Bec! Congratulations on an impressive weight loss!
That’s good to know. We think we’re actually going to go further north instead, and wait till Monday. Something about 2-3 caches that are part of some 12-Pack challenge! 🙄 Plus a county we missed on our last pass up that way.
Bed and Breakfast along the St. Croix, caching for a couple days, great way to celebrate our anniversary…which is actually tomorrow, but the weather’s not supposed to be so nice then!
And we’re with you, Gary. What’s the fun in going around? I got THE greatest summer caching shoes. Keen sandals, with good traction and a closed toe, and waterproof! They’ve already cut their chops on some canoeing caches!
Don’t even talk about the bizarre behavior earlier this year, with rolled up pants and walking through spring water in my snow-pacs. I think that was March, maybe? ANYTHING to get close to the source of a spring at an earthcache!
Hi, Thanks for checking on all of us. If you read the long thread titled, “Is anyone still around down there” you can get an idea of how people are doing. Lots of temporarily disabled caches in southern WI right now!
Hope all’s well down in the real south with you!
