Just bragging.

[+Roman!]

Twelve days ago I was going for dinner with some friends. While we were waiting for the Granville Island ferry one of them pulled out his iPhone and looked for a Geo Cache. I thought he wanted to know where a compact car dealership was. Couple days later I'm a member, have the iPhone app and own a new Garmin Oregon 450. Yesterday, after 5 hours of hiking I managed the 100 star challenge, today, after 7 hours hiking & driving I went after the icon challenge, I did 7 different cache types in one day: traditional, multiple, Puzzle, letterbox, Wherigo, virtual and earth cache.

 

Your turn, brag away.

Wow, you carry some pretty odd swag, now that's worth bragging about.

[+dfx]

I got a FTF on a earth cache ...

 

That's funny

[+popokiiti]

Backwoods caching on Saturday and saw a Momma Bear and her cub......

[+Ambient_Skater]

I did more work Photoshopping the home page graphic into a more accurate depiction of geocaching.

Backwoods caching on Saturday and saw a Momma Bear and her cub......

 

Nice, I paraglide and one day we were up on launch very early in the morning and I was first to launch. I started running and just as I approached the part of launch where the mountain started to drop off I got off the ground and airborne. Lucky for me, about 15' ahead was a bear sitting there eating berries and I startled him and he stood up and growled and took a swipe at me but I cleared him by about 10'.

[+bflentje]

I have not cached since last Sunday but I spent three hours today at work planning my next road cruise on Friday. Got every thing into GSAK, MapSource and nRoute. Routes built. Special caches researched. Ready to go.

[Mr.Yuck]

I was mentioned by an automated bot blog geocaching newsletter on Twitter. No, reeally, I was.

[+NYPaddleCacher]

A couple of days ago I found a few virtual caches in Washington DC, adding it as the 22nd State (along with 12 countries) in which I have found a cache.

[+Gitchee-Gummee]

Backwoods caching on Saturday and saw a Momma Bear and her cub......

We too, saw mama and two cubs (a bit late, I might add).... very, very, VERY slowly backed away as we were between her and the babies.

[+Lieblweb]

It's a lot of fun isn't it???

 

Great combo too - we have iphones and Oregan 450!

 

Nothing here to brag about other than we've been trying to get a cache a day and I think we're only at 22 days? dadgum newbies! (laugh)

 

And our 6 hidden caches are doing well and getting some nice comments. We wanna make sure our hidden caches are reputable (kept up, designed well, nice hide areas, etc). People seem to be happy - which makes us happy too!!

Thank You to everyone!!

We're planning on attending some local events (for the first time)and meeting some of the local people who their names we see everywhere!

[+wimseyguy]

I found two caches before coming to work today!

And got to scratch off another date on the 366 grid. Only 4 more to go.

I changed a 0 to a 4 today. The next 0 is next Thursday, then not until mid-August.

[+BaylorGrad]

I'm living less than half a mile away from the oldest cache in Texas this summer!

[+Michaelcycle]

Gave a lecture, "Introduction to Geocaching" to 80+ people on Sunday.

[+hzoi]

Picked up our 30th U.S. state, Colorado, last week. We'll pick up our 31st, California, in mid-June. And we'll roll over to our 3500th cache over Memorial Day weekend, planned milestone cache is the Alabama Well-Rounded Cacher Challenge. Go, us!

[+Roman!]

I'm living less than half a mile away from the oldest cache in Texas this summer!

 

Speaking of oldest, I gotta brag again, just did #100 and it was this one: Treehugger (BC's First Cache)

 

Hidden: 02/02/01

[+edscott]

I got another "FDNF" today. Published and 18 consecutive finds until I came along today and bagged the first DNF.

[+sword fern]

I am eating vegetables. I got a letter grade.

 

I found a geocache.

[+MikeAndHike]

Went on a Geocaching marathon today. My wife, Kraezy, and I took our 3 kids ages 7B,5B&3G, on a 12 hour, 30 cache, 200+ km geocaching whirlwind. They were troopers. Very little fussing all day. Helps that we had a blizzard break but hey.

[+cheech gang]

I drove past a WalMart parking lot today and didn't even stop.

[+edscott]

I drove past a WalMart parking lot today and didn't even stop.

 

Yes, but you knew it was there didn't you?... and that little voice was tempting you to pull in and sign the log wasn't it.. Evil is all around us and we must not be tempted.. Wait...It's 9:30... the world is still here..................... never mind.

[+Chokecherry]

I finally finished a night cache last evening (we were past the flash light stages). Totally not cool with night caches having false fire tack trails to lead you astray...

[+Viajero Perdido]

Had a great day caching with a fine group of people yesterday, but I have zero smileys to show for it, and I don't care. I got the smileys earlier.

 

I don't care because I'm not trying to go for a multi-day streak, or find that elusive 4.5/3.5 combination, or a smiley in some arbitrary parcel of land that looks just like all the others.

 

I am free!

[+FloridaFour]

I am free!

 

I'm with you on that! I do have a small goal of 200 caches this year, and I already made my goal of making my own cache and putting it out. I will get to the Wherigo's, 5 star caches and other stuff later. I have no interest in trying to find more than 20 caches a day, in fact my record is 7. I'd rather go for a walk or a bike ride in the woods and just find a few nice ones in pretty spots.

 

My last "caching day" was Thursday. I went to do cache maintenance on 5 caches. 4 were on a bridge and I couldn't check one because it's now surrounded by floodwater. I replaced 2 that were muggled and BROKE the other one, while checking it. It was an adopted cache that had a glued in metal washer so it could magnetically attach and I'm not sure if I want to replace it. After checking the 5th cache, I ran over a parking lot divider and did damage to the bottom of my minivan. Ugh. Then I had to go BACK to a cache I had found a few days prior...because I accidentally took the log book with me! So that was my pretty much wasted geocaching day on Thursday.

[TheCacheSeeker]

While caching last saturday, I saw lots of bunnies!

One find and five DNF's to-day. Where is my prize??????????

Yesterday, after 5 hours of hiking I managed the 100 star challenge...

 

Your turn, brag away.

Completing a 100-star challenge took us all of 30 minutes. We found 10 5/5-overrated challenge caches along a mini power trail.

[+luvvinbird]

13th. soaker this year....dadgum!

[+Ambrosia]

I didn't leave the house today. Nor have I for about a week. Yay, me!

20 out of 20 today. Yay for us.

Specially the body parts[i hope someone trades up or at least even for that pancreas.]

[+Trekkin' and birdin']

We set a new record of 7 DNFs yesterday. I think we'll be hosting an event when we hit 500 DNFs, which shouldn't be too much longer!

 

Stopped counting the ticks at about 40. Trekkin' REALLY hates ticks (three times with Lyme, in spite of taking all the usual precautions).

On how many unique caches were those DNFs, and how many FTDNFs did you have?

[+Snoogans]

My wife went to REI for the Memorial Day Sale, to use her dividend (and mine), and while she was there she got me a fake rock geocache ($17!!!) and a nano-cache ($5.95) at REI's way over priced geocaching section. So I got that goin' for me.

 

It's the thought that counts. I luv u baybee!

[+Flintstone5611]

Got three of those in the last week! Woohoo!! I consider myself a selfmade FTDNF Master.
