I agree that comments attacking you for your comments are unwarranted. I think everyone else was just trying to offer opinions and be funny so please take no offense at the one that seems a bit too personal – I am sure that they probably have not done the cache in question.
For those of us that have done it, yes it does have some hazards that my caching group did not anticipate that day. We considered not doing it but we were already there – what else can I say .
I have always thought some standard warnings if hazards are present should be included in the cache description but if not I always try to leave them in my comments on the cache.
Thorson once told me that geocachers are nice friendly people and he is correct from all that I have met.

Great job on 500!!
Okay – which one was your favorite?

[wzbt03]

25th group to make 200 – congrats!

I agree that all caches are not for everyone. I think at times, all of us are kind in our comments on the various caches so as not to offend those who placed them.
My thought is – if the cache has some hazards – post them.
Cortaid takes care of the poison ivy, nettles only sting for about 15 minutes, my tentnus is up to date, I know I shouldn’t wear shorts geocaching but I do and when I get to a cache that only a fool would attempt…… It always seems that the fool logs a find .

I figured that my totals that I pulled from different caches might not be exact but somehow I missed the Searchers . Sorry.

Okay I am curious…..

Sixteen Wisconsin Teams to reach 300 are?

1-Lil Otter – 2110
2-Jeff Thorson – 670
3-Pharmteam – 549
4-Geotrippers – 517
5-Trudy & the Beast – 470
6-RPaske – 468
7-Socko – 454
8- SBukosky – 440
9- Bobcatw98 – 435
10- Natloh2 – 405
11- KBraband – 383
12- Cashew – 371
13- The Troops – 351
14- Folktrackers – 310
15- Badlatitude – 301

Whose #16 ?

Granted this is in no way a competition but I do believe we all respect the effort and experience of those who have sought out this many caches. Congrats to everyone listed and those trying to achieve this goal as it is a geocaching badge of honor not a blue ribbon.

Yes I just took the raw data from the website quoted.
I would be happy to keep this reminder out there and will make it correct for Wisconsin if those with errors will send me the data.
Just another fun thing to make us geocache in different areas – as if we needed one.

[wzbt03]

Ditto to T&B’s comment!
300 is a great total – and speaking of which….. How many have made 300 (a question of T&B).

[wzbt03]

Ahhh that first 100. Still has that new car smell to it.
Congrats!

[wzbt03]

AH, You are one for the best in the area – keep it up! and congrats!

[wzbt03]

Great job Jeff!
Seems like since first of the year things have really picked up for the top geocachers.

[wzbt03]

Congratulations – I think we have all found the evidence of your visits to all the caches.

[wzbt03]

Great job Pharmteam – I don’t know how you do it but it gives us all a goal to keep on trying.

[wzbt03]

Great job on the “400”.
Perhaps it was already stated but what was the 400th?

[wzbt03]

Old Cachers never retire they just finally own their own coordinates.
Has anyone ever found a tombstone with the “Final Coordinates” on it?
Many years from now I would be disappointed if Thorsons final coordinates are not a very hard multi-cache.
A bit morbid in my thinking tonight I guess but I can imagine a tag behind the stone with new coordinates on it!
