What, no Wisconsin hikes?
We have done some of the Texas hikes [pre-geocaching days]. They are great diversions for the cooler months.
Bill,
You can put me down for ten if they are still available.

100 pounds… I can believe it. I have seen racoons the size of a german shepard and that was at the Presidio of San Francisco. I would think that they might get even bigger with out Orkin chasing them.
Congratulations. We are pleased to have had the opportunity to share a few of those finds with you. Kudos to a great couple.
Hmmm, Let’s see.. 100 caches found… That would make you just about ready to buy that Hummer for those caches in remote locations Congratulations.
Too Cool!
Great going Mark & crew.
T&tbWell we were there at 2 minutes before the designated time and found Fu waiting for us. With her current level of understanding and enthusiasm, it won’t be long before she is logging finds from all around the world.
I think we understand both sides of these issues. But, I would go one step further in making a distinction between these two types of caches. The differences between a virtual and a locationless are greater than their similarities.
Locationless caches can be fun. Their game is a high tech scavenger hunt. We have heard geocaching referred to as such. But that is a misconception of what geocaching really is. Physical caches exist in predefined locations. Hunting locationless caches requires the use of a GPS after the find, rather than to make the find. We have searched and logged a number of locationless caches and enjoyed the adventure. We will probably search for more, but this isn’t something that really holds our interest. [BTW T&tb have an NF at a locationless].
Virtual caches like physical caches have a predefined location. Many of the virtual caches have great merit and are well worth the effort to seek. Some can be rather lame and these have given virtuals a bad reputation. Virtuals have great merit in that they generally offer a guranteed find. They all tend to have ratings of 1/1. The merit here is that it helps to build confidence in those that are holding a GPS for the first time. And they offer some adventure to the handicapped.
I respect the opinions of those who differ with mine. They merely have preferences that vary from mine. This keeps the game interesting. I am, however wary of those who would say that some types of caches should be banned and forgotten. That is akin to saying that T-ball should not be part of the little league program.
We may prefer to hunt one type of cache over another, but they each have their place in the game.
Rain or shine!
BTW any other neophites, novices, newbies, beginners or even old pros in the area are welcome to join us too.

If you will meet us at the statue mentioned in Another Wisconsin First [GCA803] at 9:00 Saturday morning. We will happily give you a mini-lesson in geocaching and GPS use.
