+Webfoot Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 What time, where, and what cache was it ?? I hope to add to this later, as I'm probably going to go caching on the first, just to say, I didn't sit on my fat butt and watch football all day. Quote Link to comment
+Team GPSaxophone Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 I was going to sit on my butt and watch football, but now maybe I'll go caching too! Thanks, Webfoot! Quote Link to comment

+DustyJacket Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 Well, I am working from home today. (sigh) When I got up, I got my Thursday PQ first thing before logging into work. I took a quick glance and saw a new cache 15 minutes away. (It was now 7:30 and I had to log in by 8). I grabbed my new FatBoy, uploaded the waypoint and got dressed (somewhat) and ran out the door without breakfast or brushing my teeth or anything. It took over an hour to find the cache, got the FTF, and got home and logged in to work just before 10am. Quote Link to comment
TimSkells Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 I found a benchmark today does that count? http://www.geocaching.com/mark/details.asp?PID=MC0891 Quote Link to comment

+The Oz's Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 Don't know why the GPS couldn't get a signal. Tried everything for about an hour with no luck..then thought...Maybe the gov't encrypted the signals because of terrorist attack .... Thanks... I'll check the GPS again in a while.... Have a Happy New Year! Quote Link to comment
+Woof! Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 (edited) I found a cache at 12:09 AM on 1/1/04 PST. I could hear fireworks going off nearby as I signed the log sheet. Oh, and it was a FTF too. It was just like the fireworks were just for me...pretty cool. Edited January 2, 2004 by Woof! Quote Link to comment

+JT & PJ Cole Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 We found and logged 2 today. It was a beautiful 68 deg day. Quote Link to comment
LouisvilleLiz Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 We started the new year with finding our first 4 caches -- all nearby and starting with one we couldn't find last week. After reading the instructions to our GPS, we are much, much better at this . As a novice. though, I have to comment about creepy people around cache-sites -- two of the four we found had questionable characters lurking nearby --- it is very smart to always geo-cache with a companion!

+Possum Posse Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 We were able to get 6 in today. Was in the low 50s as long as the sun was out. When the cloud cover thickened up around noon we headed for home. Great day and a good way to start off the new year. Quote Link to comment
+Confucius' Cat Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 I got 3 today. Franklin Trail #2,3,4 approx 1600 hrs (got #1 months ago) Dissapointed that the new cache email didn't come. Quote Link to comment
+quills Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 We found 8 today. The weather was nice for January and had started out looking for 5. We found them pretty easily and decided to find a few more. We also had our first first finder this morning that was awesome. All in all another great day caching and a good way to start the new year. Quote Link to comment

+Geo Ho Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 Mopar and I went caching today; we did a lame virtual, a benchmark, one a micro that was in a nice location, one plundered and placed on possibly private property, one in an area that looked like a garbage dump and a do not find in a nice park. (sigh!) More caching tomorrow . . . L'Ambiance Plaza Memorial Benchmark LX3736 (St. Augustine's Cathedral Captain's Cache Tanky Tramper's Tenacious Tunxis Task (T5) "Cola's Cache" at Pine Creek Warhammer cache by the overhang Anyhoo . . . Happy Caching and stuff! Quote Link to comment
+T10X Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 Would have had 3 today but the Park was closed, had to settle for a micro. Quote Link to comment
+SBPhishy Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 I was so bummed. I made up a cache today, and was going to go place it as my first cache ever. I found the place, got everything together, went out to the site, and there were people hanging out there, and from what i could tell, planned to be there for a decent amount of time. Anyways, this weekend will have to do. Quote Link to comment
+wimseyguy Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 Oh yea. A line has definitly been crossed. Was up before dawn in 30 degree weather. Met up with Fishingfools and drove 45 miles west to find 3 before noon. Cedarock Park was a quick micro at the park gate. The Test is a 4/4 micro multi that was put out back in the summer for an event. It has only been found by two others since a gang of very experienced cachers found it that day. It took over two hours. Apologizing for The Test was a slightly easier micro multi that took about an hour. Then I was ready to sit/lie on my a** for the rest of the day and watch football. Hmm... where to go tomorrow after work? Also, my nasty urban micro was found last night by a First Night participant! Quote Link to comment
+Clyde1140 Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 Well, I found a benchmark that had not been recoverd by the NGS since 1936 (it took some digging and clearing, and my cache was found at 0800 this morning! Quote Link to comment
+Chance Encounter Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 I took off first thing this morning for a 150 mile road trip. Hid two and found five. If I can keep up that pace for the rest of the year I'll stash 730 new ones and find 1825! Quote Link to comment
+blindleader Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 (edited) I believe tonight I have the first FTF of a 2004 cache in the state of Washington for this one. Probably less than an hour after it was approved. An easy grab close to home but it was in the dark with slush falling from the sky. How sick is that? Edited January 2, 2004 by blindleader Quote Link to comment
+astheravenflies Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 I walked to this one from my house. What better way to start the year than a walk and a cache? Football, schmootball! BTW - did USC beat Michigan? Cache for Sunny Day Quote Link to comment
+Imajika Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 I found my first cache on Jan 1st, 2004! I don't know the exact time...I think it was around 2 in the afternoon. I picked one close to my house and after some searching, I found it! I signed the log, didn't take anything and left two software titles. I am in Aurora, CO by the way. I am going to find another one close to my house tomorrow morning. Quote Link to comment
+OzGuff Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 Took my kids (already cachers), a family and another friend out to experience geocaching. The newbies really enjoyed the experience and may soon become official geocachers. We found 5 as a group (with one DNF). I then found three micros within 15 minutes while zipping out to the supermarket to buy more dessert. (My wife always complains that I take too long while runnig errands...) If I keep up the 8 caches per day rate I will catch CCCCooperAgency in about 18 months--assuming they find no more caches in the meantime! OzGuff Quote Link to comment
mpm Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 Found my first of the new year @ 11:30am on January 1, and got back in time to watch WVU get humiliated in the Gator Bowl. It was "Bergoo Treasure" in Webster County, W.Va., after a beautiful drive up the Elk River, on a sunny day with almost all the snow melted. The flyfishermen were out in force, saw a beaver lodge near the cache, and afterwards drove upstream to the source of the river. This place is truly God's country - rugged, clean and natural. Highly recommended area for getting back to nature. Quote Link to comment
+ApK Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 Hit three easy caches with the whole family yesterday! ApK Quote Link to comment
