This is a great question. Our numbers have been growing at a fair rate and I wonder if we are spending enough time to get full benefit of every cache. Time is a limited resource for us and the number of caches is growing so rapidly we know we will never be able to visit all of the caches within an hour’s drive. Every one of them offers a fresh look at places we have been before. So, even as we pump the rate of finds up, we are still seeing things we had never seen before, often in places we had been before.

Are we remembering the places we have been? I read through the list of 1400+ caches we have visited in the past three years and was amazed by the detail that I could remember. Trudy, isn’t as good in remembering these as she is in remembering the conversations along the way. I always take care in what and how I say things now. This weekend we visited a couple of recycled locations and now have the opportunity to recall the locations for a greater number of reasons. We are also starting to grow our knowledge of where these spots are in relationship to others. This has never been a problem around home, but now the multiple visits to Waukesha County have increased my familiarity with that area. I have grown my environs, much like adding a room onto the house.

Are we moving too fast? My body says yes, my mind says no. Oh so many caches, and so little time. ~tb

They can also be used as goodwill tokens when visiting cachers in another state or country. Drop in at one of their events, give the host a WI Geocoin.

The last e-mail address we have for you was dated Jan 2005, when you updated your WGA membership. I resent the message to that address (XXXXXCompufortXXX). if this is incorrect.e-mail: trudyandthebeast AT juno DOT com.

Anyone else who feels they may have been missed may contact me directly as well. There are a number of people who gave us bogus information on their WGA membership data, Please don’t waste our time. Wait for the National release. ~tb

I have to agree that jthorson’s logs are enjoyable. He has a great wit. Oregone seems to have wit, but never comes to the point of the cache. Do I really want to read 3-4 pages about his (mis)adventures with alcohol and sex or how about 3-4 paragraphs, well written about the cache? http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?LUID=3af2d9ee-75e5-495b-8c19-0e53239d721b

I can see myself doing jumping-jacks, with an 85 pound pack on my back, for a quick charge of the GPS battery. I think I will stick w/ jthorson’s cordless battery charger.

Big Kudos!

It works for me, but will the judges accept it?

Call us what you will, but our fellow cachers continue to show us new tricks and new places. We all seem to be newbees in one way or another.

Some of the beast’s predictions are too conservative. A Big thumbs up, in awe!
