+TotemLake Posted July 26, 2004 Posted July 26, 2004 Congratulations to Nate the Great on find number 100 at Mountain Meadow Majesty yesterday during a wonderful day of hiking. It was great to see Nate The Great get his 100th find while on an 8 mile hike under the witness of several geocachers, including his brother Jeremy, Moun10Bike, NBJPoppa, Runhills, Seth! and his son Adrian, RightWingWacko, MarcusAurelius, LooAndRoo. This was a great hike on a beautiful day with a background you normally see in epic movies. To top it off, we mostly had the trail to ourselves. That just made it even better. Congrats Nate! Quote
+Patudles Posted July 27, 2004 Posted July 27, 2004 Ditto on the congrats to Nate. Nice area to do it in. Quote

+Kfam Posted July 30, 2004 Posted July 30, 2004 GEM's Posted on Jul 27 2004, 07:23 PM KFam will be celbrating his 500th find @Win a Mount10Bike Coin on August 7th...Come join the fun! @Win a Mount10Bike Coin Thanks GEM's! Between landing new job and spending too much valuable time on the Bloated Head cache, (a couple more personal milestones BTW) I'm going to have to bump it up a notch to grab the 20+ more needed before next week. Wish me luck! Quote
+Bull Moose Posted July 30, 2004 Posted July 30, 2004 Way to go Runhills on #700! Peace, Nolenator Awesome Runhills. Even more awesome when you consider one of those finds was Mrs. Schmenkman's Evil Penguin III, which you found without anyone to draw you an explicit diagram of where it was. Quote
+evergreenhiker! Posted July 30, 2004 Posted July 30, 2004 Pepper got her 1800 at my cache in bothell...congrats!!! congrats to runhills and Jury also! Quote
lucyandrickie Posted July 30, 2004 Posted July 30, 2004 Now Lucy is an official idiot. She was with Pepper at 1800 and said congrats on the spot but forgot about this spot! Quote
+Team Noltex Posted July 31, 2004 Posted July 31, 2004 Congratulations to Kfam not only for getting The Bloated Festering Head of My First Victim, but for doing it on his third attempt THREE DAYS IN A ROW. That is absolutely BRUTAL! For some of the funniest logs I've read in a long time (Where ya been TravisL?) read his logs here . Quote
nolenator Posted August 1, 2004 Posted August 1, 2004 Happy Birthday Lucy! I had alot of fun. Thanks for inviting me. Peace, Nolenator Quote
+runhills Posted August 1, 2004 Posted August 1, 2004 Lucy, I enjoyed sharing your birthday. You are a lot of fun for an OLDer gal. To all others, thanks for acknowledging my 700th find. After 700, it only gets better! Quote
MarcusArelius Posted August 2, 2004 Posted August 2, 2004 Congrats RH and everyone! RH I am honored that you picked one of my caches for your milestone. Quote
+blindleader Posted August 3, 2004 Posted August 3, 2004 Now here's a milestone to be proud of. With my first find of the day, the ratio of finds to forum posts reached 4. Quote
+NBJPoppa Posted August 3, 2004 Posted August 3, 2004 Well, I'm not sure that this is the right place to do this, but... it almost fits. I've reached a milestone of sorts. Back on June 1, 2003 I began working for a company based in California. To to this work I was provided with a NexTel cellular phone. Last October I began geocaching using the cell phone as my GPS receiver. All well and good. However, the contract for which I was employed was rather abruptly terminated, and I must ship the cell phone back to California. Thus my milestone is having found so many caches and Travel Bugs using a "brain dead" GPSr. Pepper, as I've mentioned before, has suggested to me several times that I needed to get a "real" GPSr. So now the problem is: what should I get? By the way, I tend not to spend money on something until I understand what I am getting. I don't expect to go for a "base" model. A month after I was caching Totemlake showed me his Platinum Meridian GPSr, but the bells and whistles went right over my head. (OK, so it has a built-in compass. Do I care? Well, *now* I do. Routes. I understand the concept, but is it really useful? Storing waypoints. Hmm, someone showed me an iPAQ (CachingCin?) that had the cache description pages on it. Do GPSrs do this?) What is workse is that I am headed to Spokane on Friday (returning on Monday or Tuesday) and I would like to do some caching on the trip. Now I dropped by REI the other day to see what the fuss was about this new 60cs (or whatever it is called), but the clerk wasn't very helpful. I suspect that a major part of the problem is that I don't know much about what these units do, or how they really work. I've sort-of seen a couple of people using a "real" GPSr, but I didn't really understand what they were showing me. (This reminds me of the first time I saw a MAcintosh running MacOS 7. The fundamentals of interacting with the Mac were so different from those of Windows 3.1 that there wasn't much of a comparison -- other than that they both used monitors.) Thus don't have a good feel for what makes a good unit. (Other than the price.) I've heard that some folks have bought one GPSr only to upgrade later to a better model. I'm wondering if such a person would be willing to lend me an older model for this trip, and also to briefly tutor me on how it is used. (I'm used to using paper for everything.) Wow. What a lame post! Quote
+TotemLake Posted August 3, 2004 Posted August 3, 2004 (edited) Sorry to hear about the loss of your job. It is a milestone (of sorts) of how "healthy" the local economy is. However, your post for info can easily hijack the milestone thread so I would suggest you look here, and if you like, create a new post in the Northwest Forums for the local perspective. Edited to add I decided to create that new post for ya. Good luck in your endeavours! Edited August 3, 2004 by TotemLake Quote

+WeightMan Posted August 13, 2004 Posted August 13, 2004 Thanks Steve. I had a great day, but was completely worn out afterwards. The good news is that I am getting in better shape for more things later on. A year ago that hike would have been a killer literally. Quote
