WRASTRO

You can always stop by the "Orbit City Space Port" and grab bugs from there. The guests are frequently changing.

We now have two sets of Washington plates. Our original of many years is WRASTRO on our van, and our new one is GEOWAGN on our Subaru wagon. Enjoying both and will post a photo soon.

We would love to do the mailbox if any else is interested after all these years!

This is an area that we haven't been to so George and Elroy could make it depending on the date.

Team Wrastro has WRASTRO and GEOWAGN. Cheap fun!

I hope Ole didn't get too cold!

We treat everything trackable the same. It belongs to someone else and we hold it and enjoy it for as short a period of time as possible. About 1/2 of our TBs have gone missing but that doesn't diminish the fun we have watching the others! "Collectibles" fall into the same category as far as we are concerned. They are cool and we pass them on so others can enjoy them too. If they are really cool we take pictures and leave only fingerprints. We do have one Moun10Bike pin on our Geopack. We look at that as an inspiration. Only 2,800 to catch up, no, wait 2,900, no, wait...

At least one member of Team Wrastro (maybe 2) would love to do this!

Well if you want to make sure the muggles notice you then you certainly should keep using the umbrellas! A little Gortex, some nylon pants, synthetic socks, t-shirt, etc., a hat, decent boots...just like summer, only colder, darker and wetter. We like it that the rain usually means fewer muggles and it definately makes the hot chocolate taste better when we get home.

Ok, so we aren't social butterflys but we have been out there banging around for two years now. The first GPS was a SporTrak (Christmas 2003) and the current unit is a Garmin 76CS (George goes on a spending spree!). We hit 700 finds in Maui last week and now have over 500 traditional cache finds and we are closing in on 300 travel bugs (not NBJPoppa numbers, but decent). We have met many wonderful people in our two years of geocaching so far and hope to meet many more in the years to come. It looks like a few more hides may be in our near term future (despite the fact that the Redmond/Kirkland area is totally infested). We would like to express our thanks and appreciation to the local cachers we have encountered and relied on for support the past two years and we want to express our thanks (in advance) to those we will encounter in the future. On our recent trip to Maui we met a true newbie (first day of caching) family and we hope that we helped them start on their adventures with a positive attitude and a sense of adventure. We do believe that is what our sport is all about. Special thanks to FrodoB, NBJPoppa, K7wave, Jcar, Andrewrj, Kiersolvd and Poodleranch for being friends and helping us along the way. Extra special thanks to Pepper for being an inspiration and a help when we were trying to figure out how this all works. Hunting (trouble) credits go to Beamin' Demon for many of our memorable finds. Please keep up the good work. The "how to spend time searching for but not finding award must surely go to loup-garou, aka bla-bla-bla (although the many "BD" cahces were big fun). Fun hides and hunts all around. We are finally starting to feel like "real" geocachers as our numbers grow and our enthusiasm continues. This is a great sport with great people and we look forward to playing for many years to come. Keep the fun growing, George (Gene), Jane (Barb), Elroy (Elroy), Judy (Judy), Team Wrastro

No problem...as long as it will fit in my checked luggage and doesn't put it over the weight limit.

Hi all, not to gloat, but Team Wrastro will be heading to Maui on the 18th. It just occured to us that there may be some travel bugs in the vicinity that folks would like to send across the pond. We can do a drop and leave in a cache there or we can do a quick drop and grab. Let us know. Sorry for the short notice.

"Alura" has moved on. We hope to find more in the future.

Yikes! I really didn't realize how long we have held "Alura". We wanted to put it in a worthy cache but it hasn't happened, so we will get it back on the road ASAP.
