+CCCooperAgency Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 Didn't notice a topic out yet on this news flash so here goes.... Congratulations to One of, if not The FINEST souls in the GeoCaching Community. What most folks don't know is that Joe could have achieved this number much faster if he concentrated his time on himself. He is truly a self-less person who not only gives of himself but does it cheerfully. Well done, Good Buddy! Quote Link to comment
+SBUX Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 Congratulations Joe on your 2000th find!!! I wish I could shake your hand right now, but we're separated by MANY miles. I also wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for all you have done for us and others. You are a very kind and hospitable person. I look forward to seeing you again soon Buddy!

robertlipe Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 I, too, offer my congratulations and thanx. Locally you really kick-started this sport that's brought so much fun to so man. More importantly, you've become one of my best three-dimensional friends. For those that don't know the inside story: I work at home and prior to geocaching, I could go weeks at a time without interacting with anyone (other than family) that didn't involve a computer. So when we hook up for a dinner or a beer or a traipse through the woods, he's 3D to me, unlike my other friends that exist mainly in cyberspace... Quote Link to comment

+Gaddiel Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 Congrats JoGPS! It was a great pleasure meeting you in Little Rock at the "Wild in the City Redux" cache! It really made our day. Keep on caching, my friend! Quote Link to comment
+ChrisCindy Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 Congrats JoGPS. When in doubt...hit it with a big hammer. Quote Link to comment
+AbbysGrammy Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 What a tremendous occasion. It gives hope for all of us who are still down there in the 100's and trying to make it to 500. You are an inspiration to all of us-keep up the good work. When are we going to party? Quote Link to comment
+sis Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 looks like your in the limelight . your 2,000 has made my 4 or 5 hundred so much more fun with your ingenious hides, organizational skills, and twists you love to put in the game. thanks, joe. sis so sweet. Quote Link to comment
+Paddy Yenar Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 Congratulations to my evil BUDDY on his milestone. I know that you could have hit 2000 caches quicker if you spent more time caching and less time helping slow clods like me around Nashville. And if you quit planning cool events and sharing your clever caching ideas you might be much closer to 3000. I am glad I have had the chance not only to find your evil caches but share the hunt with you. Way to go BUDDY. PY Quote Link to comment
+FerretFinder Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 congrats! Did you find all of those in Nashville? I wouldn't be suprised. Looking at the map it looks like it's saturated. I'll be busy for awile just doing the nashville caches. I can't wait! Quote Link to comment
robertlipe Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 Nashville has a lot of caches, but not 2000. There are only 1074 currently in all of TN. To get 2,000, JoGPS had to travel a LOT. If you're bored, you can page through http://www.geocaching.com//seek/nearest.aspx?ul=jogps Back in the old days, I would have pointed you to the insidecorner listing so you could see his breakdown by state, but those days are over.

+Mustard Devil Posted August 16, 2003 Share Posted August 16, 2003 Congrats Joe on 2000! One of the finest people I'v ever met, even if his hides are sneaky and evil![] Quote Link to comment

+Moses Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 Congrats Jogps, tooooooo coooooooool !!! I know that you enjoy the hunt more than anything and if there's not going to be a party to celebrate your milestone, than I think we should all hide a cache in your honor. That way we can help you on to 3000 or give you a good start. Thanks for all the help and advice on caching, you are one of the best. Quote Link to comment
+RGS Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 Joe; Congrats on 2000! It takes a while for the info to get up here to St. Louis, but eventually we find out these things. It's been fun talking and caching with you the past year, so remember us up here on your quest for 3000. Rich (RGS) Quote Link to comment

+Team Tired Feet Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 Congratulations Joe, on your 2,000th find! You have been an inspiration and an extremely generous mentor to all of us in Central Kentucky, and we hold a special place in our hearts for you. Unfortunately, it is much smaller than the part that comes up with lots of colorful verbage after we finally crack your caches. We just moved to Oregon, but we are still trying to keep tabs on you, Joe. Thanks for everything! Raellyn and Melissa Cut.throat.red and Krispy Kremer Team Tired Feet Quote Link to comment
+Wind Powered Pirates Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 Congratulations Joe! I think ya met up with the one that introduced me to Geocaching on a Al kite field a few weeks ago. LaPoloma Quote Link to comment
