I liked your cache title, Lostby!
We brought in our first outlaw this morning, Three Fingered Jack. Went and found this cache, GCN9ZR which has been on our list of those to find for a while. I’ll tell you, sitting there waiting to lock ’em up is like watching the final minutes of an ebay auction!
I think today we’ll seek out Billy Goatee and then the Peanut Gang.
Look up “logging rr trail” and “Motley RIP.” We’re going to see if we can do a serious caching day like the big boys. Several of these are those hikes in the BRF area to old towers and stuff. Hopefully we won’t report in from the ER!Thanks for the info. I did read the FAQ and was on the forums, but I guess my brain just wasn’t grasping it or something.
Can you explain about finding several of them on a caching run? We did one today and I can throw him in jail tomorrow morning. I picked the right vehicle and learned a few new tricks with online maps in the process.
Pretty cool!Can I click on more than one outlaw if I figure I’m going to be doing, say, three different caches that meet the requirement for three different outlaws? We’re heading up to Black River tomorrow and hoping to get about a dozen finds. One of those must be something I could use!
I knew that, I just figured, if you missed “dog,” but got a puzzle already, this works. Heck, a couple of deputies could seek this one together and each get different outlaws!
If anyone needs one for the outlaw who likes mud, there are two in the LaCrosse area that would work. Unfortunately, we got both of them last week!
GC1294M “Swampy”
GC11FHX “Old Stinky”
There is also one in the area that would work for the dog one.
GC11XXA “doggie day” placed near the Coulee Humane Society.
If you want to do one that needs to be a hike, go to ours! 😀
GC126RC “Coulee Birding Series-Lesson 1”
Lesson 2 will soon go live, and that one’s a hike, too, if you already got this one.As for the James bit, my brother-in-law, Mr. Timberline Echoes, is named “James” and he’s placed a mess of caches up north. Do you think they could be convinced to revert to their real names? 🙄
We’re planning a canoe one on Monday anyway, so that should work for one of these guys. A couple we’re hoping to do tomorrow are jeep trails, or at least the description mentions being able to jeep up. Hope one of those will work.
A question about the puzzle ones. We’ve done all the puzzles around here already. However, there are two that are listed as multis, but really, they’re puzzles to solve. Here’s one of them.
GC117D6 “geo scrabble”
Do you all think these will fit the category?I know, I was thinking the same thing, 3Hawks. We have about four of them that we’d have been able to nab. Oh well! We’ll just do the best we can to help round up these varmints!
I’ve learned to ignore the buzzing. As long as they stay off, I’m happy….mostly.
Glad you got the meds for that nasty one. It seems to be nothing to find a mess of ticks after a cache this spring. Yesterday, I found three wood ticks and two deer ticks after doing a couple. Everyone in our family has had Lymes and been treated successfully except me. Our younger son had the freakiest rash and he was just a toddler at the time. We never did find a tick or bite site, but are glad we got him right in. They didn’t want us to bring him in, kept trying to tell me it was chicken pox. Fortunately our physician overheard the conversation, asked who’d called, and told them to get us right in. I believe the exact statement was, “If they say it’s ticks, it’s ticks! They’re out crawling in the woods all the time!”
Happy Anniversary, I just noticed the caching milestone and came over here to congratulate you, but see that zuma scooped me!
Thanks, somehow I missed checking that HTML box! 😳
I have to go look at the wanted posters again. Hmmm. So who are the local baddies?
Congratulations to you, too. We’ve enjoyed the hiking caches you’ve planted and hope to snag a few more once we’re done with this thing called “work” for the year!
Congratulations on a big landmark! That’s a lot of caching!
Any more thoughts on this? We’re probably going to be around the 24th, too. What can we do to help?
I don’t print out the cache info unless it’s a complex puzzle cache or multi. What I do is take the back side of all this paper we’ve used around the house and write down the name, coords and the hint for as many caches as I can fit on it. These are usually organized by “trip,” so that I have one or two pieces stuffed in my pocket on any given cache outing.
We plug in the coords and head on down the trail. I look at the clue. We find the cache (usually) and look at the clue for help (usually). I cross them off as we find them, make note of anything we left or took, go home and log them.
Some caches we could find without the hint, but we’ve hit enough tough ones where the hint made the difference between logging a find and DNF that we like to have them along.
