      Been there, done that. I just couldn’t keep up with it. It was becoming impossible to identify them all. We now rely on cache owners to do this when they see a newbie logging one of their caches. tb

        There’s lost of good stuff above. I won’t repeat any of that. My point is to get the GPSr into their hands as soon as possible and then stand back, watch & cheer.

            I am having mixed emotions about the results, and I knew this would be. I am honored by being selected for another term and feel privileged to serve with those selected and those remaining on the board. I am also sorry to see so much talent put on hold for the next go around. It looks like this is our closest election to date. To those who have been elected, I extend my congratulations. To those who were not elected, congratulations, for being recognized as worthy; yours is a proud distinction as well. tb

              The Mill Valley friars were behind on their belfry payments, so they opened up a small florist shop to raise funds. Since everyone liked to buy flowers from the men of God, a rival florist across town thought the competition was unfair. He asked the good fathers to close down, but they would not. He went back and begged the friars to close. They ignored him. So, the rival florist hired Hugh MacTaggart, the roughest and most vicious thug in town to “persuade” them to close. Hugh beat up the friars and trashed their store, saying he’d be back if they didn’t close up shop. Terrified, they did so, thereby proving that: Hugh, and only Hugh, can prevent florist friars.

                Some one might need to remind me, since I’m feeling like 43 going on The Beast right now.

                        Apologies to the Beast of Trudy and the Beast and Lucien of Pharmteam for not having captured them in any of these pictures.


                        No appology is necessary, we both appear in two of the first three photos. tb

                          There is a lot to keeping dry while camping. This is why we leave it to the Pros at the Hampton Inn.. Trudy camping.

                              As to the current board … thank you for all you do, I’m sure much more happens behind the scenes than we can understand.

                              As to the unknown board to come … thank you for stepping forward, to me it means you really care about geocaching, Wisconsin and this big family of geo-buddies. If I wasn’t German, I’d hug you all.


                              Thanks from all of us for the accolades.

                              It’s not more than the members would “understand,” it’s details that really don’t add to the immediate fun to be had.

                              I am German as well, I still like hugs

                                one series with 29 different challenges. The ones we have completed have been well worth the effort and the time. The ones we haven’t haunt us to return. Great going GeoPink!

                                  Great News.. The USS KETE, which has been rather inactive in NY State was just placed in Italy.

                                  sometimes a bit of patience is all we need.
