    Ray

      Well said cathunter. Trudy & I have always placed a high value on our responsibility for maintaining our caches. We have visited each of our caches regularly (every 6-8 weeks) to insure that the quality of our caches was as good for late comers as it was for those doing the FTF dance. This has put a limit on our placing activity that we gladly accept.

      And it is for the reasons that cathunter and we have expressed, that we have archived six of our caches today. Some are getting a bit tired, and some mundane. We owe our fellow cachers some fresh ideas, fresh challenges and fresh locations. We also need to share the areas we have enjoyed with others, to give them the opportunity to express their talents on the turf we have dominated for the past year plus.

      We want to thank those who have shared their experiences at those caches with us and promise to bring back more, hopefully even better caches in the coming few months.

      Happy caching folks.

              This site:
              http://members.cox.net/pkpublic/
              gives this cache:
              http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=61
              as the first cache in Wisconsin.
              Today, we are left with no trace of the cache or of the cacher.

              Wisconsin’s oldest surviving cache:
              http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=945
              and there are reports that the cacher survives as well.

              Our longest surviving cacher is M0E. She comes to us from S.Calif via Colorado. Her first reported cache 1/27/2001 and her last reported cache 6/26/2004.

                This is why Trudy & I carry a change of clothes in the trunk of the cachemobile.

                            The coordinates for the star on Miata’s map are:

                            N 44:56.616
                            W 88:36.426

                              I was thinking, I only know of two Shawano cachers: Lisavemt and BantamC. You might try sending them e-mail. One of them may be able to help you. BTW Isn’t that tribal land? That is about 40 miles from where it was originally placed. I am sure that isn’t GPS error.

                                  I have done this and still ended up with the next finder posting coordinates that everyone felt happy with…
