+Zzzoey & illDRIVEuNav Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 Happy to say we spent our one year anniversary placing two caches. Waiting on approval, but felt it worthy of mention that on May 5th, 2002, we found our first hidden ammo box full of goodies, and we were hooked! 437 finds later, we are completely addicted! Thanks to all of you who have placed caches we have found, who have found caches we have placed, and to those few cachers we have met, exchanged funny stories with and enjoyed knowing, whether by email or in person! We were trying to figure out how many actual days out of that year we were out caching. Seeing as we both work full time, I have to say that the cache binge weekends really are important to our sanity. Thanks K. Falls, The Dalles, Salem, Eugene, Portland and OF COURSE BEND for providing us with the opportunity to go cache-crazy!

+Logscaler and Red Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 Good luck in the next year also. Things seem to be slowing down around here but after Red and I get over our little splurge of caching, we will be planting a few out and about for you to look for. logscaler and Red Quote Link to comment
+smithdw Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 Happy anniversary. We're glad we could help out a little. Things have slowed down here also. I really need to get off my lazy behind and put some more out. Got to give Rooster something to do too. Quote Link to comment

I think the number of finds, hides and travel bugs you have racked up in a year, especially considering the full-time jobs, qualifies you for Geocacher's Anonymous! If you weren't so shy there might be more support offered by other geocachers (we've seen you twice at trailheads before you ducked away). Having done roughly 10 of your caches and read many of your logs, I'd say your enthusiasm and creativity are something special. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
Chief Paulina Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 Hats off to Zzzoey & illDRIVE! I knew em when they were just newbies..... I like to seek unique caches, those with a twist, those with some education. You two have certainly provided that. I'ts hard to believe that I haven't done ALL your hides and will pledge to go north in the future.

Sassquatch Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 Sounds as though you and Grouchy Grandma and Grandpa Rocks share the same cache cave where alarms go off everytime caches are placed. Congrats. Quote Link to comment
+sparklehorse Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 Congrats on year one! I'll be headin' your way soon to snag some of those CO caches of yours. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm not a geocacher but I play one on TV. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote Link to comment
+Grandpa Rocks & Grouchy Gramma Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 Congratulations on your anniversary in geocaching. Ours is coming up July 4th and hopefully we'll be able to get over to central Oregon and pick up some more of your caches by then. Sassquatch, we'll show you how to hook up the alarms at your place if you want, really simple setup but you have to get used to them going off at all hours . I've gone to look for myself, if I should return before I get back, please keep me here. Quote Link to comment
+Zzzoey & illDRIVEuNav Posted May 7, 2003 Author Share Posted May 7, 2003 Thanks for all the kind words. You guys rock! River Treasure was our first find. Nature in Balance was our first hunt. We didnt have a CLUE what we were doing or how to operate the GPS (we were using DrNO's garmin and had had a few adult beverages) and we wandered around on that ridge until dark, looking here and there with no idea of what, how, why, who, places these containers in the wild and gives us coords to go find them. But it was hella FUN! I think the next day we found Steelhead Masters and the insanity began. We were out the next day, found .River Treasure and haven't stopped caching, thinking about caching, talking about caching, planning caching, ever since!

+Navdog Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 Wow!!! Has it really been a year? You guys are a valuable asset to the Central Oregon caching community. Looks like your having as much fun with the new camera as you are caching. Keep up the good work! The adventures of Navdog, Justdog, and Otterpup Quote Link to comment

Congrats! We also started the day before you! May 4, 2002. We happened to have found our first at Rosario Beach, Deception pass State Park. We went back to make our 500th find there last weekend and finish the year with 521. We made our 1st and 500th finds .3 apart and by the same guy. Bellinghamster. Also the FLY BOY who lent us his GPS and helped us find our first was there as well. Quite a nice anniversary! Cachin's a bit sweeter when you've got an Isha! Quote Link to comment
