I'm getting there! :)

[+AustinSweetnSour]

50 and counting! I know 50 doesn't seem like much to most of you, but I'm pretty excited! I'll probably wet my pants when I hit 100! (Ok, not really)

Just wanted to share my 1st hurdled goal!

[J'nK]

Congrats! Fun ain't it?

[+ThirstyMick]

50 was probably my proudest milestone; it seemed like forever to get to! Congratulations!!

I'll probably wet my pants when I hit 100!

You aren't the only one who feels this way. If you go to an event, it's quite easy to pick out the cachers who have just reached a milestone.

 

Congratulations.

Caching in Texas gets a lot earier terrain-wise in a couple of months as the poison ivy, thorns, and tall grass dies off for the winter. That and it'll be cooler out! You'll probably get more finds soon!

[+Trucker Lee]

Joined in August, and fifty already!! Way to Go!!

 

Took me a year to get 200, so no worries or grief from me. Keep it up!

My 50th was actually an event cache at a bowling alley that was a ton of fun. I'm still only at 60ish now, but hey, everyone goes at their own pace. I figure if it's an accomplishment that makes YOU feel good, it's pretty irrelevant how many finds other people have, isn't it?

[+Lotho]

Congrats =D

[+fastforty]

We recently found our 50th too, glad we aren't the only ones to be thrilled with passing a milestone. The next 20 came pretty fast, kinda like looking back once your kids are grown We'll probably make 100 on a short trip we have planned for the near future- hope it's a Kodak Moment

I don't quite remember my 50th cache but every cache I do makes me smile! I know how those milestones feel. Congrats!

[+TeamThom]

Found my 41st today. The 50th is now in sight and I'm looking forward to it. Congrats on your 50th.

[+TheSolisPirates]

We just hit 50 a few weeks ago too . Sure is exciting...makes me want to hit 100 even faster!!!!

 

Congrats on your 50th!!

Way to go! I loved my 50th cache. I did it this summer at a cave cache in Southern Idaho, called Minnetonka Cave Cache, and I will always remember it.

 

My 100th was cool as well, but 50 made me feel like I was really getting somewhere. I started caching last August and I went slow at first - it took me a year to get to 100, but after 50 I went crazy and gathered up the next fifty in a little over a month. I am at 134 finds and 21 hides now and I am going to slow down again in order to better savor the flavor

 

So congrats on getting to 50 finds... your officially hooked!

[Chumpo]

I am always happy to see people who "get it".

[+Nochipra]

Congrats! We just passed our 50th mark not too long ago. We have been geocaching of and on since 2003 but with our health problems that was a big mark for us.

[+StarBrand]

5 1/2 years ago when I started - 50 seemed a long way off. Took me more than 1 year to get to 50. Now I see folks blow through my area for a weekend and get more than 50.

It took me over two years to find 50 caches. I found my first seven at a gold prospecting exposition in Zortman Montana. That was before I even knew about geocaching. Finally in 2004 I jumped online and found a few caches around home (in a hundred mile radius of 59270 there were 19 caches). I found a few of them and then I went on a 700 mile geocaching trip through SE Montana stopping just short of Billings to get 17 caches. But then, after the summer of 2004, I had the opportunity to do a little traveling and the amount of finds quickly skyrocketed.

 

Congrats on your first 50. I hope the next 50 are just as exciting.

[+DanOCan]

Congrats. You are on the right track -- your milestones and your records are for your enjoyment and it doesn't matter how fast other people do it.

 

It took us two years to reach 100 and I remember how happy I was to get to that mark. 500 seemed so far away but it came less than a year later and I was happy then too. 1000 passed while we were on vacation and I didn't even know what cache it was until we got home.

 

The joys of milestones....they are all different.

[+3Coltsfans]

Congrats on your accomplishment. We just hit 100 4 days ago so I understand your excitement. I will never forget #50 because it was the first one that took 3 trips to find. I lost a lot of sleep over that one.

 

Cache on my friend, cache on.

[+the hermit crabs]

I'll probably wet my pants when I hit 100!

 

If you need a little help with that, try going to this cache for #100

 

(Hey, you live in Round Rock! Our niece & her husband bought a house there recently... we've been thinking of visiting them and their new baby, and we've been wondering how the caching is in that area... any recommendations?)

[continental drifter]

Way to go! 100 will be there before you know it.
