Yeah, well it’s not YOUR shirt that got trashed! LOL What makes it even more humiliating is that we didn’t find the darn thing. A 1.5, for crying out loud! BigStick had no luck either, so I suspect in that very public place, it got muggled.
But maybe not.
P.S. So Brett, the partial nudity didn’t do it for you? Just the feces? What does THAT say about you? 🙄
Well, between the two of us, we had more DNFs this one weekend than probably our entire caching career. Tonight’s was especially disgusting!

So our advice to anyone is–should you ever find yourself at this number of finds, quick, even if it’s 2AM in the morning, go find another one so you never, ever have to claim this find number!
We haven’t gotten over that way yet, but I’ve looked at some of those as they get published under “newest,” and boy. I have no clue! Guess that class would help, if I could only make it.
There was one with all these photos and nothing else. I’m still scratching my head over that one. Sooner or later, I’ll rise to the challenge, but I have a feeling it will be later! LOL
I heard from a cacher from North Carolina that he’d encountered some Magic Eye hides. I’m still not clear how those worked, if somehow the cache listing actually was like those thing—you know, the fractal designs that suddenly come clear when your eyes settle just right? He said he had to have his daughter find the answers cause he could never get the image to pop out.
Might have worked, had I any nice clothes along. As it was, I was dirty from searching another area cache near a birdy creek! 😉
Another day.
That was what we were thinking too, Lostby. We figured we could maybe do one end, and yes, we’d thought about parking near Caryville, Ralph. I want to go to the creepy cemetery cache there, anyway! Maybe we can do one end this fall and save the other for the spring. Overnights are not an option for us at this point in our lives.
That many caches? What did I miss? I thought we’d printed them all and I haven’t counted since I did that, but I thought it was around 25-30 caches. Wow!
I’ve been trying to add more caches to our bike trail, but it has been challenging because there is still an active rail line adjacent to it. I’ve found two spots so far that have worked and hope to add a few more between Onalaska and Rockland by this spring. There are already a couple that were placed by other cachers, so I think all told, there are five so far, not counting a few more that aren’t too far from the trail itself.
I think this is maybe about a 25 mile bike trail. Easy-peasy for us, if we can work it out to get away. Have at it!
Lostby, take a look at this map link.

All those caches in a line along the river are in the series. They all have names like “______ on the Chippewa River Trail.” I think there are something like 25+ in this series. We’re hoping we can do a fall color bike ride to get these in October. We were too focused on that other series of 50 in honor of zuma’s 39th birthday to do this series sooner. Interesting math, eh?
All depends on about a jillion other things falling into place, but sooner or later, we’re at ’em!
I have wanted to go up there for quite some time, but I think I’ll have to wait a bit longer. I hear there is a really cool cache somewhere out there, too.
Sounds like a fun event. Wish we were a little closer. After all the driving I’ve done in the last week or two, I have no desire to get in a car for awhile!
Wow! See, I learned something today. I just thought a harvest moon was kind of orange, which it was when it was rising last night–for me, reflected in the waters of the Wisconsin River as it runs along a bluff face.
Aaah!
I spent two hours enjoying this exotic little beauty this afternoon. Way cool. I took photos, which probably suck, but I did take some. There’s this whole “ethics” thing about taking photos when lots of people are looking at rare birds, so I didn’t get in as close as I’d have liked.
But I saw it do all kinds of wonderful things. And I picked up 11 caches in my travels, two of them earthcaches. So now I’m officially a bronze earthcache master!
Top it all off with that gorgeous harvest moon rising on the Wisconsin River as I crossed it at Highway 60/61 and it’s hard to beat a day like this! Thanks for asking.
Thanks for taking on a job we all appreciate, whether we say so or not.
I think I’ve figured it out!Welcome back home, Mike! Here’s hoping this use of the GPSr will be more relaxing for you.
Tomorrow. Patience, Grasshopper! [;)] Today, between a vet appointment and getting our son to the eye doctor, I drove all over Fillmore and Houston Counties trying to find a non-flood damaged way to get to a cache in the Vinegar Ridge forest.
Don’t know yet. Hopefully tomorrow I’ll have a better idea about that! 😉
Even though it’s a big hummingbird, I kinda doubt there’s enough of it to get a really good taste. I think one would need to get several to judge that! 🙄
Yeah, I just had an email conversation with one of the folks involved, too.
Maybe they can be convinced to place caches that are permanent and listed if some of us locally are willing to help with that part.BTW, Mr. Finco and Trekkin’ faced each other across the line of scrimmage in their high school glory days. They figured all this out after Finco started working at the school Trekkin’ had just left for another area teaching job.
