+Wienerdog Posted May 23, 2004 Posted May 23, 2004 (edited) Since the Eastside Cachers thread has been so upbeat and successful at posting their milestones and congratulations to each other, we thought it would be nice to start a thread to expand the recogniton to cachers from all over the Northwest. So if you know of someone who has reached a milestone, post it here! If you have reached a milestone and would like to tell us about it, post it here! Pictures and/or references to your special places are more than welcome! Edited May 23, 2004 by Wienerdog Quote
+Wienerdog Posted May 23, 2004 Author Posted May 23, 2004 I get to post first! Congratulations toPhil & Cathy who just reached thier 300th cache today on : Twin Peaks #2: War Zone by LindaLu Good going you guys! Quote
+LindaLu Posted May 23, 2004 Posted May 23, 2004 Darn, you beat me to it! I'll be giving them a sort of "first finder" prize too, based on the difficulty of the cache since the winter storms.... Congrats Phil and Cathy! Quote
+TotemLake Posted May 23, 2004 Posted May 23, 2004 Congrats! That's very cool guys. Looks like a tough one alright. These fallen trees are the very perfect example pf why I bought my GPS. My dauaghter and I camped at Corral Pass one time and the short 3 1/2 mile loop turned into 4 1/2 miles due to off-trail detours just to go over and under them. In fact, I swear that shattered tree pic is looks exactly like the one we saw! Cheers! TL Quote
+WeightMan Posted May 23, 2004 Posted May 23, 2004 After going with LindaLu and MA and son on her quest to find Twin Peaks #2 during the Welcome to Seattle event, I can only say well done. That was a mess of fallen trees and the four of us came up empty even though we had all found it (or in Linda's case hidden it). We were not far from it, but just could not get there. Quote
+TotemLake Posted May 23, 2004 Posted May 23, 2004 You guys inspired me. Snickers and I are heading over to do #1 right now, and if time allows #2. Quote
+Pepper Posted May 24, 2004 Posted May 24, 2004 (edited) Congrats P & C, looking forward to running to on a trail new you...some day soon. Pepper Edited May 24, 2004 by Team SuperGenius Quote

No pics this time. Only spent a few minutes at the top, but would have like to have the camera iwth me when I saw the falls though. Quote
lucyandrickie Posted May 24, 2004 Posted May 24, 2004 Congratulations Evergreenhiker!!!!!!!!!! We've been watching you all week wondering which cache was going to be the big one. It sounds like you had the perfect day! Quote

+Pepper Posted May 25, 2004 Posted May 25, 2004 (edited) EGH & K7-Wave congrats on yet another milestone! Cache On! Pepper Edited May 25, 2004 by Team SuperGenius Quote
+Wienerdog Posted May 25, 2004 Author Posted May 25, 2004 (edited) TotemLake you got it! Number 100! Yes! This is probably the milestone you will remember the most. He did this one at Pepper's Cache. Take a look at this cache for those of you that haven't been there yet! SuperGenius #28 - It's a Boy! Was Pepper there to take your picture? Edited May 25, 2004 by Wienerdog Quote
+TotemLake Posted May 25, 2004 Posted May 25, 2004 Awww shucks. The secret is out. hehehe Yah - I'll remember this one as well as #50 when I did Pepper's Bandana cache for the quilts. Quote
+Wienerdog Posted May 25, 2004 Author Posted May 25, 2004 Awww shucks. The secret is out. hehehe Yah - I'll remember this one as well as #50 when I did Pepper's Bandana cache for the quilts. Wow! With you dedication to Pepper's quilt caches sounds like maybe she could build you one! Unless of course she's getting quilted-out! Quote
+TotemLake Posted May 25, 2004 Posted May 25, 2004 As much as I would love to receive one... it's such a phenomenal gift from the heart, unless it was for something special like a new member to the family, I like the idea of having the same chance as anybody else like she did with the Bandana Cache. And if she does get quilted out, one can hardly blame her. That's a huge undertaking. Btw - Pepper - That's my first time with that kind of iron-on. Let me know if that didn't come out ok through the wash. I'll make a new one. Quote
+Pepper Posted May 25, 2004 Posted May 25, 2004 Awww shucks. The secret is out. hehehe Yah - I'll remember this one as well as #50 when I did Pepper's Bandana cache for the quilts. Yee-Haw! TL and 100 caches fit nicely together. I've watched you from the begining and read you first log on your first cache. You've come a long way young man. P.S. I'm not quilted out YET, but whren the babies blanket is done I'm done sewing until fall. Then it will be time to start the quilts all over again and all for a good cause. Still in need of a few bandana's to finish the baby blanket! Pepper Quote
+Kfam Posted May 26, 2004 Posted May 26, 2004 Our new cache was found by ohjoy! yesterday. I noticed she had just passed 500! What a sweetheart. Congratulations! Quote
+evergreenhiker! Posted May 26, 2004 Posted May 26, 2004 Our new cache was found by ohjoy! yesterday. I noticed she had just passed 500!What a sweetheart. Congratulations! Congrats Ohjoy and TL!!!! Quote
+WeightMan Posted May 26, 2004 Posted May 26, 2004 Our new cache was found by ohjoy! yesterday. I noticed she had just passed 500!What a sweetheart. Congratulations! I'll have to take a look and see where those caches are. There must be a bunch of them in th Olympia area. I might mention that ohjoy has a new cache in Seattle. Check it out. The URL is around here someplace. Let me see, OK here it is. Quote
lucyandrickie Posted May 26, 2004 Posted May 26, 2004 Cogratulations to OhJoy! and well done TotemLake. 100 and 500 are still the two most special Milestones for us. Quote
+The Navigatorz Posted May 26, 2004 Posted May 26, 2004 (edited) Ish-n-Isha (of the North Central Washington area), actually small town of Quincy, reached 900 recently. Congratulations to them. Note if you multiply the ratio of Seattle cache density to the Quincy area cache density, that gives them equivalent of 11,468 finds!! Edited May 26, 2004 by The Navigatorz Quote
+Wienerdog Posted May 26, 2004 Author Posted May 26, 2004 (edited) Congrats. to OhJoy! and Ish-n-Isha Edited May 26, 2004 by Wienerdog Quote
+Ish-n-Isha Posted May 26, 2004 Posted May 26, 2004 Note if you multiply the ratio of Seattle cache density to the Quincy area cache density, that gives them equivalent of 11,468 finds!! The gas bill proves that theory to be just about right..... Quote
lucyandrickie Posted May 27, 2004 Posted May 27, 2004 Way to go Ish-n-Isha We here on the wet side sometimes forget the distances involved on the dry side. Quote
+W7WT Posted May 27, 2004 Posted May 27, 2004 Congrats to Bruce, Ajetpilot and Charlie Blue Heron for getting their 500 and 400th find. They did it in a canoe finding a underwater cache in Liberty Bay. For the full story and pictures look at the cache page for LIBERTY BAY RESORT GCHPJ9 by Crimson Wrath. Dick, W7WT Quote

+blindleader Posted May 28, 2004 Posted May 28, 2004 M10B is poised for the big 2K. I wonder what he has up his sleeve. Quote
+k7-wave Posted May 28, 2004 Posted May 28, 2004 M10B is poised for the big 2K. I wonder what he has up his sleeve. And Masterpuzzler is sitting at 999. It will be interesting to see what they pick for their milestones . Quote
+evergreenhiker! Posted May 29, 2004 Posted May 29, 2004 MasterPuzzler hit my cache for 1000: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?II...43a&LID=3837473 Congratulations MP!!!!!! Quote

+Pepper Posted May 29, 2004 Posted May 29, 2004 (edited) Yet another 4-digit cacher in WA! Congrats Master Puzzler on your 1000th find, and you picked a GREAT cache ta-boot. LucyandRickie Hit 1600 yesterday in Yakima!!! I know I was there! Pepper Edited May 29, 2004 by Team SuperGenius Quote
+TotemLake Posted May 29, 2004 Posted May 29, 2004 Congrats Masterpuzzler. It's cool that you got to see that bird. I remember seeing it a couple years back and thought how cool and unusual. Until now, I didn't know what breed I was looking at. Quote
+Wienerdog Posted May 29, 2004 Author Posted May 29, 2004 Congrats Masterpuzzler on 1000. It’s fun watching the counter roll over from 999 to 1000. And congrats to Lucyandrickie on 1600. Gosh, it was just about one year ago when we both hit 500 in Yakima! Quote
+GEM's Posted May 29, 2004 Posted May 29, 2004 (edited) runhills does http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...07-9a69c516f510 Buck's Crossing GC52A7 for his 600th find! He is only the 2nd finder on an 8 mile uphill hike on a cache that has only been found once since 4/28/02. Congrats runhills! Here's his log: I visited this cache today as my 600th find. My wife and I had a long discussion as to why I wanted to do this particular one. My answer..... ....well lets just say that an isolated incident should not change the way we behave!After determining land ownership, I choose to walk in from the horse camp thus staying on public land. Man those horses can muck up a trail in the rainy season. I didn't see anybody other than a few folks grabbing up camp spots for the long weekend. I found the cache in great condition, the roll of TP was completely dry. I will post my track log of the 4 mile (one way) approach that I used. I traded nothing but proudly took up a page in the basically empty logbook. Thanks for the fun and I am sorry about the events that the first finders are still experiencing.

+Pepper Posted May 29, 2004 Posted May 29, 2004 Way to go Runhills and congrats on #600! Pepper Quote
