+Polgara Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 How do you celebrate the completion of one of those cache hunts that took you in the woods/ desert/ jungle, etc. for 9 hours over terrain you never pictured yourself on and now you're back home all comfy and happy to never go back there, or at least not any time in the next few months or so...

Bobthearch Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 1) A beer!! 2) A dinner out 3) start looking for similar caches right away! -Bob Quote Link to comment
+MountainMudbug Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 Scrape away the filth, chow down on a reward snack (and usually an Icee), and hit the sack. And if we're not too traumatized from the day I start planning the next assault Quote Link to comment

Team155 Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 A cigar would be great for a time like this. A Partagas Robusto comes to mind. Quote Link to comment

Sometimes we have to stop at the emergency room first. Good one. With some of the ones I've been on lately, it's a good soak in the jetted tub with a beer or glass of wine. http://fp1.centurytel.net/Criminal_Page/ Quote Link to comment

+Planet Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 I have no set regimen for celebrating. I cache all over the place, so it depends on where I am. If I'm home I head for the computer and hop on the chat, and tell everyone, and if I've got my post and pictures in I link everyone to my find, and wait and see how long it takes the others I cached with to join the channel. If I am at a campsite I grab a beer and comfy camp chair and light a fire. I think the time when the White Memorial Foundation Picnic ended was the hardest. I wanted it to go on and on, we had to leave because it was going to get dark and they were closing. There has to be a repeat of that day again. It was a perfect combination of people, weather and location. Planet Quote Link to comment
mortonfox Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 Dinner out, definitely. But I do that before going home. I have a bunch of usual after-caching restaurants depending on where I am. Quote Link to comment
+Team Og Rof A Klaw Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 Never done that yet. Give me about two weeks. I spent a lot of time on The Cache Where YOU Are The GPS, but that was mostly web research. ____________________________ - Team Og Rof A Klaw All who wander are not lost. Quote Link to comment
+Metaphor Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 Beer, definately cold beer. And ibuprofin, washed down by some more cold beer. "All of us are standing in the mud, but some of us are looking at the stars." Oscar Wilde Quote Link to comment

+Polgara Posted October 15, 2003 Author Share Posted October 15, 2003 Seems alot of people go out for dinner after a long hunt, I know I do! When its a cache that is over an hour from the house, we usually stop to eat on the way home and I get a kick out of the waitstaff looking at us in our "well worn" hiking wear which by that time is dirty and muddy, sometimes has a few new holes, and covered in some sort of insect repellent. What a lovely scene! And for some reason, that food always tastes twice as good! "The more I study nature, the more I am amazed at the Creator." - Louis Pasteur Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 Most likely a Guinness, or another good beer (Magic Hat, Long Trail, Sierra Nevada, etc...) and a cigar (H Upmann, R y J, or Dunhill) on the deck. I'll probably be reading the day's newspaper, finishing a book, or telling my wife about my adventures (if she wasn't along). "You can't make a man by standing a sheep on his hind legs.
