I recovered myself!

[AZcachemeister]

On a run up (home to Phoenix) from Tucson last weekend, I recovered CZ0850, and was delighted to have recovered a mark with my own first name as the designation. The day before, my partner and I recovered JEFF, HARLAN, PEDRO, and CURTIS.

I couldn't help but wonder if anyone else has recovered a mark with their own name (first, middle, or last) as the designation?

[2oldfarts (the rockhounders)]

We haven't recovered either of the 2oldfarts name, but we recovered the last name of 2 friends (BLACK & WHITE) and the first names of 2 other friends (DON & DEAN). We also recovered RYAN (our grandson), PAT (my mother) & ROSE (my sister).

 

And even though we have not actually met him we recovered BUSH.

 

Others' names, but just not ours.

Just for fun I ran a search on my last name (Skinner) and discovered a mark at Lake Skinner, just east of the Feb 2007Geocoinfest event in Temecula CA. Since I'm flying down from Alaska for that event with two friends, that particular mark went on the 'must search-for' list...

I made a trip to get NEW BARNES, my last name. There are other Barnes markers nearby but they are either lost or behind posted signs. I have a list somewhere of stations that include one of my names (first, middle or last). I could find one almost anywhere in the country.

[+Klemmer]

I don't think I'll be finding one with my last name on it (Klementowski), although you will find a couple of geocaches with my last name in their titles...

I recovered a benchmark stamped GRUBBS, shortly after helping a family by that name purchase a home about a mile away.

 

Using a special paper which looks like parchment, I made a "treasure map" with an "X" at the benchmark's location. It was accompanied by To Reach directions in verse.

 

I took it over to the Grubbs' house when I knew the parents and the young children would be home. "This map came to me under very mysterious circumstances," I told the kids. "I'm getting too old for these treasure hunts, so I wanted to pass this along to you. Let me know what you find."

 

After I left, the children apparently pestered the parents to take them on the hunt, immediately. About an hour later, I got a call from the family. They were very excited over finding a marker with their name on it.

 

Of course, the children want me to do another treasure map. Perhaps this time, the "X" will be at the Krispy Kream donut shop!

 

-Paul-

[+Harry Dolphin]

Not having much luck finding a disk with my name. There is/was a disk at PAULSBORO, but that hasn't been found since 1946. There's a PAUL at Oswego NY, near Lake Ontario. And another north of Saranac Lake, New York. The PAUL in Pennsylvania has been destroyed.

Despite having a common surname, there are no disks with that name.

Now, there is a HARRY near Seattle, Washington (with a nearby cache). And we all remember my attempts to find the dolphins DOL and NET at Coney Island.

Oh, well.
