+Coyote's Girl Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 So, I'm very near 100 caches. I wanted to do 100 in the first year I was at this. But that didn't happen for me. I wanted my 100th cache to be something special, and I thought of the very perfect thing to do. There is a local (sort of) cave that has a deeply special meaning to me. It's connected to my husband, my all time favorite teacher, a generic hound known only as "Cave Dog" and Armin Krueger (the cave's caretaker). It's full of special and wonderful memories, too many to list here. I have made, and intend to release a fimo figure of my Geology teacher as a travel bug, and I want to begin his caving adventure here where it all began for me. Burksville Cave SO, my question is this, do I go ahead and hit this one for my 100 tomorrow and drop off my travel bug at a later date OR do I (As my husband suggests) go ahead and order my dog-tag and lay off caching until it arrives and THEN make it my 100 (Please not that this would only work if I could get him to order the dog tag [i cannot get a bank account because my ex screwed up SO bad, I'm on Chex systems until sometime next year or I'd order the thing myself]).

Go ahead and find your 100th. You can enjoy the experience for yourself and then come back and visit the cache again. Just log it as a note the second time and not a find. Quote Link to comment
Clan Riffster Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Were I in such a quandry, I would wait until the TB tag arrived. While a find there would be great, a find, coupled with the release of such a memorable TB would be even better. Groundspeak is pretty kwick when it comes to mailing stuff. Your wait won't be too long. Quote Link to comment
+Coyote's Girl Posted September 26, 2009 Author Share Posted September 26, 2009 I ordered the TB earlier today, and I'm going to hit the cave after it arrives. Thanks for the input; It would be a shame to rush this one and not have it be right. Quote Link to comment
GOF and Bacall Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Any local cachers that can front you a TB tag until your order comes in? Quote Link to comment
+Coyote's Girl Posted September 26, 2009 Author Share Posted September 26, 2009 (edited) Any local cachers that can front you a TB tag until your order comes in? I'd thought of that. Unfortunately, the only other cacher I'm aware of locally is someone I pass on my school bus route. They drive an orange boxy car with a Groundspeak sticker. I can hold off. Next weekend is the big sci-fi convention and I'm busy anyhow. Edited September 27, 2009 by Butterfly Fox Quote Link to comment
