+*gln Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 Hear ye, hear ye. I am very happy to announce plans for the celebration of BruceS's 2000th cache find. I know it is hard to believe but all this has happened in just 18 months! We are as proud as we can be that BruceS calls the St. Louis area home. Shoot, its like being around a movie star or something. The St. Louis Area Geocachers Association is planning a little get together and hike to the Pioneer Cache http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=41875 that is located in South Central Mo. If you want to camp and celebrate, there is a dandy camp area near the trail head. For complete up to the minute details of the event see: http://www.geostl.com/SLAGAMemberStats/BruceS2000thFind_PioneerCache.html We are also planning to release a B2K Travel Bug http://www.geocaching.com/track/track_detail.asp?ID=12354 whose mission will be to try to visit as many caches as possible and beat the 2000 in 18 months BruceS has done. For folks that would like to send a congratulatory note you can send it to: Congratulations@GeoStl.com We will compile all the notes and present them to BruceS at the party. We sure do hope some folks will stop by for a visit. Glenn **Glenn, St. Louis, Mo Quote Link to comment

+bloodwood70 Posted February 17, 2003 Share Posted February 17, 2003 THATS A S**T LOAD OF CACHES My work keeps me away from land alot but it gives me a great chance to log benchmarks. Pretty much every place I am for work has hundreds of BM's and today I hit 100 THATS NOT BURNT, THATS BAR-B-QUE Quote Link to comment
+altree Posted February 17, 2003 Share Posted February 17, 2003 Great job BruceS!! Congratulations on the impressive stats Altree (you will not starve with a p38 and a can of food) Quote Link to comment
+Planet Posted February 17, 2003 Share Posted February 17, 2003 i am not worthy. Here I am celebrating 75. Congratulations to BruceS! Cache you later, Planet I feel much more like I do now than when I first got here. Quote Link to comment
+georgeandmary Posted February 17, 2003 Share Posted February 17, 2003 I'm just trying to hit 1000 caches in the next couple months or so and sometimes it feels like I spend every free minute caching... (I don't btw) But I do spend a lot of time geocaching and live in a pretty densly cached area so I REALLY appreciate the amount of skill it takes to pull those kind of numbers. Good job Bruce. george Pedal until your legs cramp up and then pedal some more. Quote Link to comment
+TeamJiffy Posted February 17, 2003 Share Posted February 17, 2003 BruceS - congratulations on approaching 2000. Wow! That's quite an accomplishment! -TeamJiffy Quote Link to comment
+sbukosky Posted February 17, 2003 Share Posted February 17, 2003 I am happy to say that some of my caches added to his numbers. I gotta wonder if he ever comes inside to warm up and dry out? Steve Bukosky N9BGH Waukesha Wisconsin Quote Link to comment
+canadazuuk Posted February 18, 2003 Share Posted February 18, 2003 talk about way too much mouse and not enough pussy cat Yeah, cool, that's way far out!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment
+kbraband Posted February 18, 2003 Share Posted February 18, 2003 We want to add our congrats and accolades from Wisconsin. We featured Bruce in a recent article in the Wisconsin Geocaching Association website. Quote Link to comment
+Marky Posted February 18, 2003 Share Posted February 18, 2003 Finding 100 caches in two weeks is not the easiest thing to do, and when you have numbers like BruceS, you are going farther and farther from ground zero to find caches. I hope he makes it. Cache on Bruce! --Marky "All of us get lost in the darkness, dreamers learn to steer with a backlit GPSr" Quote Link to comment

+ScurvyDog Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 I am still working on my first 100. Right now I am working on the second half of the first 100. I am happy for you, find them all. ScurvyDog Quote Link to comment
umc Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 2000, man thats a full time job. Is there a way that I can get paid to geocache??? ______________________________________________________________________________________ So far so good, somewhat new owner of a second/new Garmin GPS V 20 plus finds so far with little to no problem. We'll see what happens when there are leaves on the trees again. Quote Link to comment
+Ozarktroutbum Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 I really have to hand it to him, I know some of the territory he's had to deal with. The mountains aint real high but the valleys sure are deep. I hope we arent jinxing him... is there a backup 1/1 just in case? When GPSr's are outlawed, only Outlaws will have GPSr's.

+Web-ling Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 If anyone would like to meet Bruce, but can't attend his 2,000th cache get-together, he's planning to attend the 2003 Texas State Geocaching Extravaganza March 29-30 in North Texas. plug> Congratulations! Quote Link to comment

+Murrcat Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 I'm very honored that some of my hidden geocaches are counted among your 2000 finds. I can only dream of reaching that level of geocache finds. Quote Link to comment

+Show Me the Cache Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 Congratulations to the best of the best. For the past year, I have admired the efforts of Bruce. From what I gather from the statements of others, he does things the way I do in general, but does them much better. Focus is the key. Like me, when time permits, he seems to prefer the harder caches that were more typical when we first started. Recently I met Bruce in Louisville, and now I like the man just as much as the legend. Two re-scheduled basketball games will prevent me from witnessing #2000, but I am there in spirit. All things considered, Bruce is at the top of any list you want to write. Thanks, Darrell Smith Show Me The Cache DSsaysHi@aol.com Quote Link to comment
+Baron Von TnT Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 I am at 200 and looking forward to my 2000th. Great job. Keep on cachin'...if there are any you haven't got. Quote Link to comment
