Our teen kids and friends are definitely concerned about our constant lack of availability. They think we are going through some sort of life change that hasn't yet been discovered or documented. Every time we take our daughter or son caching with us the hides end up being those real easy kind that we never have when we are caching by ourselves. Naturally they just walk right up to them like kids at an Easter egg hunt. It really makes us look like dorks when that happens. We try to convince them that there are some real challenging hides out there that are challenging and stimulate the mind but they just pat us on the back and say "you bet ". We've since learned to utilize their brilliant minds for a higher and somewhat devious purpose. We wait until we get a few micro caches that totally baffle us. Then we stuff the kids in the car and sic them on em. This tactic is actually working! They still think we are dorks but at least they have gained a little more respect for the sport of geocaching.

I am Topotracker from the N. Idaho area. This may be my 1st successful reply or post in the forums. The last time I tried the system would not accept me even though I logged in. I'm in the "gaining familiarity" mode. My wife (Foxtail) and I just broke the 100 mark of cache finds and recently planted our 1st cache hide. We really are enjoying geocaching but our friends, kids and relatives think our chains have slipped off our sprockets. We intend to keep on keeping on and will likely sign up for Premium membership to help support the great work that goes on behind the scenes. Jay

Great design and very generous of you to contribute these coins. It's always nice to find something special in a cache that can be considered a keepsake, representative of Idaho. Keep on Keeping on! - Topotracker
