Is there any way to just grab the oldest 500 regardless of how long they have been lonely?
Sure, just run a pocket query for all caches in Wisconsin placed before 8/25/03. Of course, this date will change as older caches are archived, but you can play with the Pocket Queries to find the exact date at any given time.
You would need to be a “Premium Member” to run a pocket query. And, if you are not a “Premium Member” you can go to the GC.com home page and select “Hide & Seek a Cache” from the menu at the left. Then search by state. it will return a listing of all 7,700+ caches in the state. They are in chronologic order so the oldest 500 would be found on the last 25 pages.
Looking for a gift for some one who has everything?
Notice that their archives have hundreds of items to choose from.

This just gives all those armchair loggers an easier way to log our virtuals….I had two German teams log my virtual in this way (and with some Internet research as well)….both were deleted.
Bravo!

It depends on the cache … I have a situation where the fun is spoiled by what you can see from the road … your suppose to drive up and have a big laugh 😆 , not surf the web and have a small laugh 😕 .
Agreed, there are cases (such as this one) where this may spoil the fun.
I haven’t been able to get it past the fan. A mouse would definitely be better than a touchpad here.
This one has something for everyone. Sight gags, jokes, funny audio, funny video, Demotivational posters. You can’t get through it all in one sitting.

Imagine the marriage of Google Street View and Microsoft Photosynth:
Welcome aboard!
The center of all geocaching activity is Groundspeak and they are found at: http://www.geocaching.com sometimes referred to gc.com. You will want to establish an account there for researching, planning and recording your activities.
Once you have established you account w/gc.com, go get’em. Remember that any items found in a cache are not free booty, they are exchange items. always leave something of equal or greater value for items you may take. Sign the log in the cache and leave the cache area as litter-free as you found it or better. Should you find an item in the cache with a numbered metal tag, it is a travel bug, it needs to get to another geocache. Travel bugs are not exchange items, they need to stay in play. Numbered coins are similar to travel bugs, they need to stay in play.
There are a number of geocahers in your area that may be willing to act as a mentor. try dropping a line to them.
Again, Trudy & I welcome you aboard.
Ray Handley [the other half of Trudy & the beast]OK! we are starting to show some spirit here. 18 DEMANDS, tied with NYC for 10th. I really think we can do better. If you haven’t made your DEMAND, now is the time.
The other side of the coin: seeking permission will put you in front of some wonderful people. Many of the property managers you will meet have been approached before and welcome our visits. You will find the managers at state parks are very receptive.. [check out Harrington Beach SP or Hartman Creek SP]. See our Cache in Adell [GCGQ87] it is now archived, but we had the AFD caring for the cache. The unturned stone [GCGRWJ], also archived, was a real treat to setup. The city clerk got out a map and highlighted all the city properties and then advised us which properties would be more appropriate for our use. The worst that can happen is that some one might tell you no.
Without permission cache placers and cache seekers are trespassing. Even on public lands, you may be subject to prosecution for an unauthorized use. Placing geocaches without permission is at your own risk.
Yes, we all (or almost all) do it, but this is not condoned.
Trudy & I are just hanging around the cabin, waiting for a chance to get out and pounce on some of those juicy tidbits in the woods.
I’m w/LB7 here

If they can get the weight of these down, we could strap a couple dozen onto a 10-year old and generate enough power to light a small home. 😆
