    Milestone Congratulations

    in Northwest

    Posted

    After 16 hours of caching at the BCMII, I reached #400 on the last cache (Bremerton Twin Guns) right before dinner! Thanks Yumitori and Leonata for a great day and celebrating the milestone with me.

     

    Now the quest for 500 begins. (3 down, 97 to go)

    Hi all!

     

    I'll be heading to Bremerton tomorrow after I get off work. I've not made any plans to ride with someone on Saturday; something I would like to do. I can be a good navigator. I used to live in Kitsap and know my way around well.

     

    If anyone is interested, feel free to email me (I'll have access to my email until I leave for work tomorrow morning) and then I will be at the pre gathering tomorrow night.

    A quick question, anyone know of the easiest way to download all of the cache pages onto my Pocket PC. I know I could run a pocket querie, but think that would pull in a lot of caches not on the list. Just wondering if there was an easier way to do this.

     

    Thanks for any help!

    I'm in Federal Way and only about 1 1/2 miles from the Best Western. I agree with Team Misguided about taking the bus up to Seattle or if you are renting a car, I would say just drive. It is only about 30-35 minutes to downtown. You can spend a good day or more just finding caches in the Federal Way area. We have many great caches in the area.

    In my area, a few people collect signature items. I have a small collection on my desk myself. I leave small plastic green ducks with "JavaDuck was here!" written on the bottom. I have no problem with another cacher grabbing one of my ducks without trading. People in my area that want a signature item to remain in the cache just leave a note with the item stating their request.

    The buffet sounds good for Saturday, I was just thinking for on Friday. Another idea, would be a potluck gathering like the one before the Gig Harbor cache machine. That was nice.

     

    I'm looking forward to caching in the area since I lived there for 6 years (before I was into caching).

    I used to live in Silverdale, and from what i remember the Round Table Pizza is rather small. Other possibilities would be the Silver City Brew Pub (pretty sure minors would be allowed there, think they have a dining area and a bare area). There is also an Azteca, Tony Romas, Red Robin, Red Lobster, Olive Garden etc, in Silverdale. I can't think of many other places that could hold a large crowd though.

    I had the same thing happen to me last weekend at a cache. My GPS said I was within 10 feet of the cache and then all of a sudden 12 miles then a little bit later .12 miles. I thought the same thing, that my GPS was on the fritz. I also showed an elevation of 5000 feet, I was only about 200 feet above sea level. Later that day, my GPS worked perectly and has worked good since then. Stange, huh?

    I want to say congrat to Nancois (formerly NLS) who reached find #400 yesterday at Puzzler's Paradise. It took us two trips and a total of 8 hours to complete this puzzle/multi cache. And I reached #300 at the same time!

    Some nice clever puzzles listed. It gives me some ideas. Here is a link to my puzzle cache that had local cachers working on trying to solve the puzzle for a couple of weeks. One family caching team solved it first and were FTF. After that, a big group of cachers did a group hunt. The cache is a multi, with each step having a different puzzle.

    Congrats to all the cachers who recently reached milestones! Special congrats to Ruck and Phil and Cathy, cachers I have had the pleasure of meeting at geocaching events.

     

    And if all goes as plan, I should be finding #300 this weekend.

    Most Creative Way To Sign A Log With No Pen

    in General geocaching topics

    Posted

    I had someone use spraypaint that was on a bench near one of my caches and his key to sign my log book. I thought that was creative. Yesterday, for the first time I found a micro and realized I had left my pen in the car. It was on a dock, and after trying to use a broken shell etc, I finally took a blade of grass and used my finger nail to sign the log book.

    Congrats to Pepper and Lucie and Rickie! We were in Gig Harbor yesterday as well. #3 of us going for milestones. It was a day of freezing rain, cold cold weather, rain, but still a wonderful fun day!!

     

    Edited: Rewrote the post so it made more sense, I hate when I have typos and bad grammar. :blink:
