+ShaneN4Girls Posted January 1, 2003 Share Posted January 1, 2003 Hit Jane Doe II (GCBAAF)... Went on to hit 6 others. Now it's time for OU FOOTBALL so I'm now in front of the computer and TV. It's great! The 4 girls are at the mall ice-skating. What a great day away from work!!!! Quote Link to comment
Gustaf Posted January 1, 2003 Share Posted January 1, 2003 Possibly in New Zealand. This has a log of January 1:st and was last generated: "12/31/2002 10:50:04 PM (GMT)". That is 10:50:04 AM, local time. Quote Link to comment
+Darkmoon Posted January 1, 2003 Share Posted January 1, 2003 While everyone at the house was sleeping this morning i raced the sun rise to scout a new location and then about 8:40 or so central time, i was at Rippers Tripper...whadda way to start the new year! Darkmoon No, I am not lost...I am where I am suppose to be...At least I think so? Quote Link to comment
+SherwoodForest Posted January 1, 2003 Share Posted January 1, 2003 Well, I went out on a three-cache expedition with some other local cachers (The Jester & Granny), and we got to the first cache about 9:20 am EST. And that's the earliest in the day I've ever found a cache... I'm not a morning person... The caching would have been a little nicer if it weren't for that pesky freezing rain that we've had off and on all day... we were all quite thoroughly soaked after the third cache... Cache well, and see ya round the bend... Quote Link to comment
+Breaktrack Posted January 1, 2003 Share Posted January 1, 2003 New Years Day, 2003, a good day to go over 100!!!! The kids and I took three and a half hours to find the last seven caches we needed to hit 100. We didn't start out that early though so we certainly didn't hit the first one of 2003, but maybe we're the first to hit 100 in 2003? Ya think?? "Trade up, trade even, or don't trade!!!" My philosophy of life. Quote Link to comment
+cachew nut Posted January 1, 2003 Share Posted January 1, 2003 In the US, I think the honor goes to The Leprechauns for finding this cache just after midnight. Quote Link to comment
+The Leprechauns Posted January 1, 2003 Share Posted January 1, 2003 We saw the New Zealand log when reading the "Read the Latest Cache Logs" page, so that has The Leprechauns' vote for first in the world in 2003. We will lay claim to the first find in the United States. We got in our car at 12:10 a.m. (eastern time) to find the Memorial Day Meandering virtual cache, and found it at 12:27 a.m. (eastern time). The online cache log was submitted at 12:49 a.m. (eastern time). Then, I watched the "Latest Cache Logs" page and there were no prior U.S. logs. Not that we're addicted to geocaching or anything. We could stop anytime we wanted to, just not at midnight on New Year's Day. x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x If there's no accounting for stupidity, then why do I need to file a tax return?

+WaldenRun Posted January 1, 2003 Share Posted January 1, 2003 It was probably a bit before 9:00 AM EST when Sis and I opened this one up. -WR "Why worry when you can obsess?" Quote Link to comment
+Eswau Posted January 1, 2003 Share Posted January 1, 2003 I hid my first ever cache this morning around 8am EST. Put it in the computer around 9:30 and was surprised to see it approved by lunch time (I thought it would take 12-24 hrs). I was even more surprised that someone had found it and logged it by 3:45 this afternoon. Eswau Quote Link to comment
+SherwoodForest Posted January 1, 2003 Share Posted January 1, 2003 Congrats on caching that early on new years day... Must admit I was asleep at midnight (first time since I was like 10 or younger). Didn't have any get-together plans, and was a bit worn after a new year's eve night hike. That and I knew I couldn't sleep in (like i'd otherwise do) since I had to meet my geocaching companions at 9 (so had to wake up about 7 -- ick...) Also have to admit that the hike last night, and the geocaching today is more fun than most new year's eve celebrations are... Cache well, and see ya round the bend... Quote Link to comment
+Team Tired Feet Posted January 1, 2003 Share Posted January 1, 2003 We loggedMurphy's Micro #06 - Woodland Parkat 12:01 a.m. here in Lexington. We went on to try another cache and didn't end up logging it until after Lep's post. Team Tired Feet cut.throat.red & Krispy Kremer Quote Link to comment
+Web-ling Posted January 1, 2003 Share Posted January 1, 2003 Dang it, a whole day's gone by, and I haven't gotten a single cache all year Just wait till tomorrow... Quote Link to comment
+Sissy-n-CR Posted January 2, 2003 Share Posted January 2, 2003 I had to wait until Sissy got off work--we don't cache without each other-- but the local county and state parks were closed so the only other one we wanted to do seems to be missing! We got skunked! It was a great adventure anyways. It was along a cross-state hiking trail and very flooded. We had to pick our way through the flooded areas. Some places had logs set up to get across the flooded parts, but some of them were under water. Oh, well, such is the life of a cacher. BTW, did you know ammo cans make a great stepping stone? On it's side it was thick enough so the water didn't get in our boots and kept it's contents dry! I wouldn't try it with it standing up--much too unstable--but on it's side it made a platform, though under water, high enough to get across without a sock soaking. CR Quote Link to comment
