Thanks also.
Who is in charge of making sure the weather is great for this w/e of fun?
I think I like this one the best so far. 🙂
I also remember that banner. I would spend quite a bit of time watching it to see if I knew the picture. LOL.

We’ve had very similar experiences. We will still send out travel bugs, but we keep our geocoins for discovery at events.
Ditto on this. I have become soured with my trackables going MIA. Like many people that have been given some very nice coins, I will never release them into the world of muggles. Many of them have thousands of miles and adventures on them and I enjoy shring them with cachers at events.
I do have 4 coins that are on ‘holiday’ with a caching friend in Europe right now. They are having the time of their little lifes. 😆
I also abide by the suggestion that TB’s are not a 1-for-1 trade, but not to have the cache cleared out of them either.
I saw this cache request before by someone, but forgot whee it is located. I seem to remember that it is up towards LaCrosse. Maybe we could form another team from Madison and take this on.
Somewhere, in a Walmart parking lot, there is a naked lamp post!
First, these would violate our guidelines for a WSQ cache. These would have to be placed ON a gravesite in order to blend in. When you purchase a plot, in every sense of the word, you have a “deed” to that piece of land.
The closest I have placed a cache is my first one which is between plots in some trees. Every other one is on the outskirts of the property, where most should be.

GC253 – Pookie’s Stash is one of the 2 caches that predate Pike Powder Hike. It did not event last a year. 🙁
GC266 – Geocache is another one of the threeHave not found the other one, as it looks as if Ken did not find/log it.
The other one was hidden south of Sheboygan and listed on geocaching.com but it was never found by anyone and was archived not long afterwards.
So even some of the early ones had issues also. I did not check, but I wonder if there are caches at those sites today?
Feb. 2, 2008
There are 514113 active caches worldwide.
In the last 7 days, there have been 283867 new logs written by 42168 account holders.I had fogotten how much the site has changed.
Went way back to the first good page archived and checked out an old cache in IL. GZ is now a retention pond for a shopping center!
I also took a look at the one in MN. The area is still rugged, so it might still be there. Back then they did not use GC numbers!!

I have found that condensation is a problem in PVC pipe caches. Never found actual water, but lots of damp stuff inside.
I knew someday someone would find a use for those little moisture packs/pills that come in so many products 🙂
I will have to get mine together and post them on ebay/craigs list. 🙂
Just found these pictures of some young ones. The head is a different color on them.

Certainly looks like this guy…
http://www.dekaysbrownsnake.com/Yes it does, except for the difference in the head. Markings are also not as defined. I wonder if this is a young one.
Time to get the heavy cables out and strap these puppies down! I have access to some nice 1/4 inch stranded cable. 😆
Even though it does not look like the picture on the DNR PDF, it does sound like a Brown Snake. Here is a description that I found.
A very small tan snake with two parallel rows of tiny dark spots down the back; found most commonly in southern three-quarters of Wisconsin, in dense ground vegetation and debris.
