+Team DEMP Posted October 17, 2004 Posted October 17, 2004 Seems when checking my watchlist that our friend jonboy found #500 yesterday on BrianSnat's The Hiker Series 5 - Cannonball Now if anyone has seen jonboy's posts here in the forums or on other cache pages, you know he hates micros. I'd imagine he'd be at 600 if he found all those stinkin micros he went after! But anyway, 500 is an amazing number of finds for anyone and I applaud the accomplishment. In addition to those finds, some of the most amazing views (including the view on my 400th find last weekend) have been those at or around the caches placed by jonboy. Congratulations and keep on caching! David Quote
+fosterbass Posted October 17, 2004 Posted October 17, 2004 ...our friend jonboy found #500 yesterday... And he found most of those carrying a backpack bigger than me! Congrats jonboy! Quote
+KBer Posted October 17, 2004 Posted October 17, 2004 Jonboy is a great cacher, robust hiker, congratulations. Quote
+Quoddy Posted October 17, 2004 Posted October 17, 2004 CONGRATULATIONS! (I see you made the surge from 485 to 500) It has been great hitting some mountain caches with you, and also doing some of your OUTSTANDING mountain loops. More are certainly in my immediate future caching. Hope to see you again soon. Quote
+Squealy Posted October 18, 2004 Posted October 18, 2004 Congrats!!!!! Will mine in Harriman be 600???? Quote
+avroair Posted October 18, 2004 Posted October 18, 2004 Jonboy eats terrain 4's for breakfast! Congrats! Quote
+Perfect Tommy Posted October 18, 2004 Posted October 18, 2004 Congratulations to Westchester's Best and many thanks to you and Darielle for your excellent caches. Quote
+Harrald Posted October 18, 2004 Posted October 18, 2004 Congrats!! To another pair of classy cache hunters and hiders. Quote
+HartClimbs Posted October 18, 2004 Posted October 18, 2004 Congrats! Was nice to meet you up in the Hudson Highlands! Quote
+jonboy Posted October 18, 2004 Posted October 18, 2004 I may pretend I don't care about these kind of milestones and hence may be lax in offering congratulations to others, but I have to confess I was very much aware when I was approaching this milestone. I'll even admit to grabbing some easy ones I might have otherwise passed up. I even asked for help from Perfect Tommy on one of his Mystery caches. The last milestone I got excited about was 100, but that seems like ancient history and one thousand seems too remote to contemplate. Perhaps I should try for Brian's mark of putting out 100 caches, but I don't know if I could maintain that many like Brian does. It's been nice meeting my fellow cachers, even if I do tend to hunt alone. I'll admit, I don't like to think of others watching me have a tantrum when I can't find the cache, but Avroairs next cache hunt does sound inviting, so I may join the group next weekend. Thanks, John Quote
+Old Bet Posted October 18, 2004 Posted October 18, 2004 What's also impressive is that Jonboy has 65 hides as well as all those finds. We've only found four of those 65 so far, but all of them were nicely hidden in interesting places. A good hide requires planning and effort, and Jonboy clearly does his homework. Quote
+Barefoot Posted October 18, 2004 Posted October 18, 2004 Every chance I get I tell the cachers I'm with about the Hudson Highlands Jaunt and all the excellent trails Jonboy showed me that day. The joy he took leading Batonka, KBer, and I to those last three caches can't be put into words. Seems I now measure my favorites accordingly. Congrats!!! Quote
+Worf's Pack Posted October 21, 2004 Posted October 21, 2004 Congrats, every hill top around my house seems to have one of your caches on it. Met you at pirates. Thanks for all your caches Quote
+Tiffany's Slaves Posted October 21, 2004 Posted October 21, 2004 Tiffany offers a celebratory wag of the tail. A full Doggie kiss is witheld because Tifffany remembers how hard "Poplopen Tourne" really was for four short legs. Quote
+avroair Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 A pleasure to cache with you! You're shortcuts are... well... shorter? Quote
+Team Rampant Lion Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 Congratulations! It was a pleasure to meet you yesterday as you were completing the Highlands Trail hike. Keep on hunting! Quote
