+fishingfools Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 3 years a go today I found my first cache. It is now gone, but I am going to hide one in it's place tonight. Thanks for all the fun my fellow cachers! Quote Link to comment
+mtn-man Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 I just passed my 4th anniversary a few days ago myself. My first found cache is still in place. It was a 1.5/1.5 cache but changed shortly after that to a 5/4 cache. The owner is out of town so I found it again for my 100th cache and now watch it for him. Quote Link to comment

Tahosa and Sons Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Almost 3.5 years, and my first hide is still in place and I have adopted my first find and its still going with a new name and place. And for my 55th hide on May 5 2005, I hope to hide a real 5 x 5 cache. And this is what I did on the Ides of March. Quote Link to comment
+junglehair Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 My 3 year anniversary is coming up at the end of this month. The first cache I found has also been archived. I like your idea of commemorating the event by hiding a new cache in its place though. Happy Anniversary! Quote Link to comment
+WARedBear Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 I celebrated my 2 year anniversary geocaching 2/27. I went out and found a virtual and three locationless caches (first for me). I also placed a cache in a local park that has had all previous caches muggled. Seemed fitting since my first cache We're Rockin Now was muggled. I picked that cache to be my first find because it was based on "The Day The Music Died" Feb. 3....which is my B'day. So I cache on..... Quote Link to comment

+sbell111 Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 I'm coming up on my 4th anniversary in a few months. I'm happy to say that my first find as well as my first hide are still in place. Quote Link to comment
+Metaphor Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 My 3rd is about now. I recently adopted my first cache, rather than see it archived. Quote Link to comment
+bigcall Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 (edited) I'm at a little over 3 years now too. The thing that I thought was funny is that we have also wound up adopting the first cache we found. Coincidence or fate? Edited March 2, 2005 by bigcall Quote Link to comment
+Hambone Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 ND, I'll meet you there Quote Link to comment
+Allen_L Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 It has been 4 1/2 years since I started. I also have adopted the first geocache I found. I also was second to find it. The geocache was vacation geocache and needed work and had been archived. Quote Link to comment
+fishingfools Posted March 2, 2005 Author Share Posted March 2, 2005 it will most likely be dark when i hide it. It is a mark II model of a copy of a JackcacheNC hide, and will fulfill the seed cache requirement. Quote Link to comment

Now I just have to scan his profile to figure out where to meet you. Any chance we could get an event approved in record time for this meeting? Congrats FFools!

Stony2008 Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 I am in the presence of greatness. I haven't even had a one year anniversary let alone 4 or 5. Quote Link to comment
+jeff35080 Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 And this is what I did on the Ides of March Congrats Tahosa... but isn't the Ides of March on the 15th? Quote Link to comment
TahoeJoe Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 My 3 year anniversary will be in two months and my first find is still around. It's hard to believe it's been that long. I'll have to hide a new cache to pay homage to my very first find. Quote Link to comment
Tahosa and Sons Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 Congrats Tahosa... but isn't the Ides of March on the 15th? I stand corrected, but why wait for the cache to be over a month old before someone finds it. Well I did look up what the Ides of March means. The Ides of March Beware the Ides of March. Julius Caesar ignored that warning and you know what happened to him. But what are the Ides of March? Is there any such thing as a single Ide? Are Ides anything like Druthers? The Ides of March are what Romans called March 15. There's no such thing as a single Ide. Ides are nothing at all like Druthers. Druthers are smaller, hairier, and have fewer moving parts. Do other months have Ides? Yes, every selfrespecting month has Ides. May I call April the 15th the Ides of April. No, you may not, though local newscasters, for whom a little knowledge is always a dangerous thing, inevitably refer to the tax deadline as the Ides of April. Anyone with a third grade education (if he or she went to school in the 40's) can tell you right off that in April the Ides fall on the 13th and can recite the rhyme: March, July, October and May, the Nones fall on the 7th day. What's this about Nones? Okay, now listen carefully. The Romans did not count the days of the month from 1 through 30. Instead, three days in every month had names: the Kalends fell on the 1st the Nones on the 5th or 7th, according to the rhyme the Ides on the 13th or 15th. And before you ask, there's no such thing as a single Kalend or None, and neither of them is anything like a Druther. When a Roman wanted to say "March the 14th", she had to say: "the day before the Ides of March" ( It goes faster in Latin). March the 6th would be: "The day before the None of March." (you never couted after, always before). April fool's day fell 'On the Kalends of April." After the Ides (the 13th or 15th, according to the month) you counted the days to the Kalends of the next month. March the 16th was "17 days before the Kalends of April." (with March 16 and April 1 in ancient fashion counting as full days). It was complicated stuff. A Roman had to know the rhyme In March, July, October, May; and when the date fell after the Ides, he hadda be able to manipulate "thirty days hath September" pretty quick too. My theory is Caesar just got the day's wrong. When told to beware the Ides of March, he had affairs of state on his mind. Dutifuly, he bewore all day on the 13th, the wrong dadgum day. Nothing happened. On the 15th his guard was down and they got him, in Pompey's theater, at the foot of Pompey's statue, where the senate happened to be meeting that day in the temple of Venus that was part of the theater complex. The foundations of the theater survive to this day, where the modern Roman restaurant Da Pamcrazio invites passersby to dine where Caesar was slain. It's in a wonderful part of the old city, near the Campo dei Fiori. The salad bar's pretty good, but avoid the Texas toast, and above all, Beware the Ides of March. Quote Link to comment

Pipanella Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Four more days until my one-year cachiversary! Quote Link to comment
+fly46 Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 My second aniversary is just after Woodstock. And while I'd love to hit 1000 on that day, It looks like I'll be more like 700 if I get very lucky in Jacksonville. Quote Link to comment
+Night Stalker Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 I hate to admit it, but I didn't know my anniversary date. My excuse is that I cached with RK for a couple of months before purchasing my own GPS. Anyway upon further research I find that I am also coming up on my 3rd year anniversary 4/7. I need to hide an anniversary cache to commemorate the event. I have decided that geocaching.,com needs to incorporate a spell checker into its forums so I don't have to spend so much time editing my posts. Quote Link to comment
+bthomas Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 My 3rd anniversary too. That multi on a closed naval base is still up I think. The first bug I found that month went MIA by year end. Go figure, eh? Have a backlog of logging, so dunno real 3rd year number. My yearly rate went from 1 per day 1st year, to 5.5 in the 2nd year, then 7 per day 3rd year. Picture posts went from a few hundred to 5000. Quote Link to comment
