nolenator Posted September 20, 2004 Posted September 20, 2004 (edited) Pepper, How did you like that one spot in the road where all you could see it the hood of the car? Whoo Hoo! Peace, Nolenator Edited September 20, 2004 by nolenator Quote
+runhills Posted September 20, 2004 Posted September 20, 2004 Congratulations Pepper on 2000. It seems like just yesterday that I remember you hitting 700. Your having TIAG along is an indication of the friends you have in the GeoCaching community We are deeply honored that you picked our caches for your milestone day. My hope is that you got some idea of the views and remember them in addition to the drive up. runhills and flyingdogs Quote
+The Navigatorz Posted September 20, 2004 Posted September 20, 2004 Congratulations Pepper. From your profile, it looks like you were at 800 about 1 year ago. That means 1200 finds in 1 year. Wow! an average of 3.3 caches per day, or 100 a month!! Quote
lucyandrickie Posted September 20, 2004 Posted September 20, 2004 To quote nolenator: Whoo Woo Team SuperGenius!!!!! Congratulations!!!! Quote
nolenator Posted September 20, 2004 Posted September 20, 2004 (edited) Ah Lucy, I love ya like a sister. Let's get some things straightened out. It is Barrel Of FUN, not Barrel Of Monkeys (unless you climbed in the barrel) and It is WHOO HOO! Peace, Nolenator Edited September 20, 2004 by nolenator Quote
nolenator Posted September 20, 2004 Posted September 20, 2004 Sounds like MarcusA had near the same conditions for his #900 find at Bandera Mountain. WHOO HOO! Congrats Marcus and thanks for the call from Who's Calling? Peace, Nolenator Quote
+runhills Posted September 20, 2004 Posted September 20, 2004 900...Congratulations Markus! Your Bandera Adventure was very unique, I can't wait to see what you will do for 1000 Quote
+evergreenhiker! Posted September 20, 2004 Posted September 20, 2004 Wow milestones are piling up and in the mountains! Way to go Mark! Quote
+TotemLake Posted September 20, 2004 Posted September 20, 2004 Wow MA! What a story! Congrats on your milestone! Quote
+Patudles Posted September 20, 2004 Posted September 20, 2004 Congratulations Jcar.Pepper.MA, on your milestone caches. ~ Tudles Quote
MarcusArelius Posted September 21, 2004 Posted September 21, 2004 Thanks guys. And congratulations Pepper! Good milestone choice. At least my pants are out now. There's no way those things would burn yesterday. Quote
+vds Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 Wow. 2000, that's just a massive number. Congrats. I have a possibly-dumb question. Do you guys with over 1500 finds in under two years or so actually work for a living, have kids at home (with the accompanying drains on your time/energy), etc ? That's not even remotely any kind of 'shot' or anything, I'm honestly curious. Really. Those kinds of numbers just boggle the mind. Geez, 1000 is ten per Saturday/Sunday, every weekend, for a year. That's just a huge rate to have for a month, let alone keep up week in and week out. Is there a typical profile of a four-digit-finder ? Are you guys all single/retired/independently wealthy or something ? I mean there still aren't THAT many micros in Redmond to hit at lunch and to/from work are there ? Are you all those folks who get by with four hours sleep ? [for example - I know CCCooper in PA pretty much caches ala 'for a living' day in and day out, with perhaps a 200 mile radius from where she lives. That has to be pretty unusual...isn't it, or did most of you buy MS stock in 1990 and retire young ?] Of course, I probably watch 200 baseball games a year so I understand what you can choose to do with enough interest/compulsion/time/energy etc, but quite a number of those games are at night when it's not really reasonable to try to cache...unless you're martmann of course Anyway, I'm honestly interested if anybody wants to say a few words...

+The Navigatorz Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 BARNABIRDY(S) reach 1000!!! Very Impressive, considering they live in a small remote North Central WA town (Winthrop) with only only 83 caches in a 50 mile radius. By comparison, Redmond has 1,854 caches in a 50 mile radius. And they reached 4 digits in 2 years time. They're in a class all their own. They must also have the record for most miles logged while geocaching. So Barnabirdys, how many sets of tires have you worn out with all the trips to the Seattle side to geocache? Congratulations, and welcome to the 1000 club!!! Quote
lucyandrickie Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. B!!! We were lucky enough to be with you on a couple of caches last weekend and enjoyed every minute of it. We too are truely amazed at your caching record not so much for the quantity but for the variety of caches that you enjoy. Quote
+TotemLake Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 Congrats Barnabirdys! That is quite the feat! Quote
+evergreenhiker! Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 Congrats guys!!!!! I believe I just missed you guys over by Ellensburg one time....doing a Teaneway river cache. Quote
+runhills Posted September 25, 2004 Posted September 25, 2004 (edited) Congratulations Moun10Bike on reaching 2,300. After this weekend in Tri-Cities it should be 2,400 Edited September 25, 2004 by runhills Quote
+TotemLake Posted September 25, 2004 Posted September 25, 2004 Even with a newborn on your hands you still find the time to plow through all these caches. Congrats! Quote
+GeoRoo Posted September 26, 2004 Posted September 26, 2004 Congrats Barnabirdy!.......wow, I can't even imagine 1,000. We've yet to meet, but I think every cache I've done in E.WA I've seen your signature. Now 2400 is out there in insanity land. Quote
+Krauss-McClurg Posted September 27, 2004 Posted September 27, 2004 On a humbler note, we hit 100 this weekend by finding the Bumbling B's "Sweet 16 - The Grand Prize." That works out to around 1/day since we started, so maybe we'll see our 2300 in about 6 years. Thanks to all those who've laid caches -- we've enjoyed the hunts. Soon we'll hide something of our own.... Quote
+TotemLake Posted September 27, 2004 Posted September 27, 2004 Congrats you guys! That's not a bad run for 100! Quote
+jcar Posted October 2, 2004 Posted October 2, 2004 Congrats to k7-wave on number 1000! On this Cache! Quote

+Riddlers Posted October 2, 2004 Posted October 2, 2004 We were going to celebrate our 400th in Tri Cities and even went to the Friday night get together but then we got the call. You know, the call that says, Mom, help. Our son had put the piston through the oil pan of our big truck and everything he and his new wife owned was in that broken truck. So as good parents, we left the cache machine and rented a uhaul and rescued him and took all of his stuff to Spokane. Well, this weekend they put out a new cache here in southern Oregon so we went for it and got our 400, not exactly 2400 but for just over six months it isn't too bad. We just missed the group energy you get at a machine. So to celebrate we hid three new ones down here. Thanks for the fast approval Team Misguided. Quote
+TotemLake Posted October 3, 2004 Posted October 3, 2004 Congrats k7-wave, ralaan, and riddlers! LthrWrk, a special congrats on your first cache found! You're now officially hooked! Quote
+Shop99er Posted October 3, 2004 Posted October 3, 2004 While I'm not in the same league as the folks that are at near, at, or waaaay past 1000, I'm still pretty pleased. The Boss and I made our 300th find on September 25th, after only 7 months and 7 days. Quote
+WeightMan Posted October 3, 2004 Posted October 3, 2004 It took me about a year longer than that to get my #300 so that is not bad. Quote
