+Clan Ferguson Posted July 16, 2002 Posted July 16, 2002 We are quickly coming up on 1 year of geocaching and we are trying to decided what to do? so I am looking for suggestions. A cache frenzy? Place a special cache? Find a cache by the same hider as your first one? Find one at mirrored coords? Return to the first cache and release a travel bug? throw a party and invite all geocachers with lots of food and cake, take pictures of every one then hide a cache with the picures as swag? Thanks for your suggestions in advance. Cache On!! James "Big Dog" -Clan Ferguson [This message was edited by Clan Ferguson on July 16, 2002 at 09:57 AM.] Quote
+Wander Lost Posted July 16, 2002 Posted July 16, 2002 All of the above! BTW....Happy Anniversary! If ignorance is bliss, why aren't there more happy people?? Quote
+Markwell Posted July 16, 2002 Posted July 16, 2002 Let's see... I frenzied, hitting five caches, found two Geodashing points, and placed that cache in the location I'd been dreaming about ever since I started caching. Only thing that would have made it better would have been to have another cacher on the trails with me for some of the finds. Markwell Chicago Geocachers Quote
+Team StitchesOnQuilts Posted July 16, 2002 Posted July 16, 2002 I think all of the above, but with a twist. I'd suggest having a cake at the party that has charms baked into it. Whoever finds one of the charms gets to keep it as a lucky piece. You'd have to ask a baker, but I believe it's food safe to use silver charms, and they're not as expensive as gold. I bet Alton Brown of "Good Eats" on FoodTV would know. It just seems like it would be fun to be finding cool items in the cake. Alternately, I know how to make treasure candles, and you could do that, too. Shannah Quote
+Team Tecmage Posted July 16, 2002 Posted July 16, 2002 First off, Happy first! Secondly, Tracy and I teamed up with Underdog and hit three on our anniversary. It fell on the Sunday (6 days) before our wedding, and a week (7 days exactly) before Underdog and Sweet Polly got hitched! Enjoy all of the above! Quote

+Snowtrail Posted July 17, 2002 Posted July 17, 2002 I re-found my first cache. You have to understand, it's a locally roving cache. So now, I plan to find it on every anniversary going forward. It's been adopted by our local geocaching group, so I'm pretty sure it won't go away. Quote
+Breaktrack Posted July 17, 2002 Posted July 17, 2002 My one year geocaching anniversary is 9-2-02, but, unfortunately, my first cache has been archived due to it's destruction. I have decided to place the next cache in my series of 4X4 caches along the Texas coast. I'm going to hunt out a new location rather than go with one I'm already familiar with. And I've already got three more sites already picked out in this series! That, along with my Military History Series of virtual caches is going to keep me quite busy after my anniversary arrives. I can't believe it's been nearly a year. "Aren't you guys ready for bed yet???" Quote

James "Big Dog" -Clan Ferguson Go find that one cache that is too far away. Maybe it requires an over night hike, or renting special equiptment, or a boat to get to an island. The one that you say to yourself.. "I'l really like to go for that one but I just don't have the time." Make the time. george Remember: Half the people you meet are below average. Quote

A cache frenzy? I only found one cache on my 1-year anniversary because I had to go to work afterwards. But I picked a nice straightforward one to which I had to drive out 30 miles or so and did the whole trip early in the morning. My suggestion would be to just relax and be proud of your accomplishments. Next day... cache frenzy!!! Quote

+clatmandu Posted July 17, 2002 Posted July 17, 2002 I had plans to refind my first find, which I was FTF. Several weeks prior, it got archived, so I refound my second , which I had found on the same day. Happy anniversary. Quote
+Clan Ferguson Posted July 18, 2002 Author Posted July 18, 2002 This time last year the wife and I went on our first Cache expidetion.Wolf point But we went at lunch and were slightly unprepared what to exepect or even what we were really looking for. So Not found. Three days later I rounded up what would become Clan Ferguson. Big Dog(me), Mother Hen(My wife), Little Bird(our daughter),and Kracktar Hunter(My brother). We headed out for Shoolhouse Cache bound not to fail. on the expidition we learned what Bushwacking means not to mention the importance of long pants, good shoes, and knowledge of local trials and terrain. We spent nearly a hour searching the tall grass. little bird did not want to venture in to the tall grass (she had seen JP2) Kracktar hung himself up, litterly(his foot got caght on a limb)in a tree trying to get a birds eyeview of the parire we were in. Sucess we found what would become the standard for -Clan Ferguson caches, the 4" pvc tube. Since then we have found an addition 49 caches in 3 states and missed only 2. Placed 4(1 event 2 active) and adopted 1. Our method and tools have greatly improved with each hunt. I want to thank everyone for thier input. We decided what were are going to to do. We are going to revisit our first cache find and plant a special SWAG. We will then proceed on a 1 day frenzy of 5 caches with a friend of Kracktars to try and pull him into this addiction we call GECACHING. Happy First to everyone who already has or is soon to be. To all you new folks Welcome to the best way to spend time since the Channel surfing. as always.... Cache On!! James "Big Dog" -Clan Ferguson Quote
