Subject: [NUTS] A N.U.T.S. family announcement

I would like to announce that as of 14:12 today the 5th of October the dynamic duo of

ROCK&CRYSTAL passed the lofty mark of  5,000  caches found.  Now if Crystal could just find some way not to work they might go on to the big time.

CONGRATULATION to a great couple!! 

Chuck thewoodchuck

We would like to add our sincere congratulations to a wonderful
caching team on another major milestone.  They epitomize the spirit
of geocaching and everything it has to offer.

help us achieve our goal... cut him some slack... I'm wearing off on
him... and who changed the calendar anyway???? :o) LOL Thank you
everyone for the kind congratulations, very sweet of you all, and
thanks to Woodchuck for kind announcement (we had to share the
victory with our caching buddy). In addition to Woodchuck's help,
this weekend we were in Alamo, CA with Team Alamo (the #1 cache team
in the world, with 17445+ cache finds, and 328+ hides) and in the
middle of a bazillion caches. Truly amazing and like kids in a candy
store for us cache addicts!! Sure appreciate the help and support
from Lee and Maddy, and a great and fun weekend. We have 128 caches
to log, but right now the keyboard is blurry, so guess the logging
will start tomorrow! Thanks again, Rock&Crystal

Something that my partner in crime failed to mention (SALMON FALLS WIDOW that is) is that she also signed the Hunt for Captain Folsom's Treasure as a milestone of 3K!!!!!

 

BSR just missed his 2K by 50 or so...

 

Today was a fun day for us all.  Thanks and Congrats to SFW for your awesome achievement too!!!!

wow!  congratulations to rock&crystal, trakd, salmon falls widow, and
dstoye for achieving caching milestones over the weekend.  what
marvelous accomplishments by these intrepid searchers. how on earth
are we going to be able to keep up with them...?!  retiredprof  (roger
and jan)

looking forward to the presentation party!

You did great MR B You picked up the last forty caches in time for the
event, You will look good in Gold.

Diehard cacher's have two GPS's there old one and there new one. Then
they can go caching instead of mowing the lawn.

Sigh...... I just KNEW this would happen.  A new cache 1.9 miles from my house and my GPSr is at Garmin in Olathe Kansas for repair.  I feel so naked without it.............

Guess I'll go mow the lawn instead. Bah!

That sounds almost as wild as this strange pair of cachers I met that never used gotos… they just kept watching the numbers on the lat/long display… I guess they’ve managed to find a few as well. (hee hee)

We can only hope that the reason Thrak hasn’t replied to all of the love here on the list is because he blew off the lawn and went out hunting J

We met a cacher, I forget his name, who uses only the writeup, a map, and a compass.  He is quite successful.  Give it a shot.

I have no $$$ for a second unit. I have to spend all of my money on the current "honey do" project. It's costing me several thousand bucks and I'm a poor person so....... no spare unit for me.

However, I did go out and look for the cache without a GPSr.  You'll find my signature on the log sheet.......  :-)

I sold my old GPSr (GPSMAP 76CS) to get money to help buy my new GPSr (GPSMAP 76CSx).  So much for the old one.

I had hear rumors that, if you put your GPSr on the side of your truck and then smack it really hard so that it flies off the truck and lands face down off the edge of the road on gravel and old bits of asphalt, that it can cause damage to the unit. I wasn't really sure if that was true so, of course, I just HAD to test it out for myself. Sure enough - it IS bad for the unit! Chalk up another victory for the scientific method. My experiment proved conclusively that you can mess up your unit in that fashion so I sent it in for repair. I called Garmin today and they had already sent it back but UPS has messed up somewhere and it is now "rescheduled" for delivery on the 15th. It's somewhere between here and Kansas -- or perhaps they sent it in the wrong direction altogether and thats why it had to be rescheduled. Who knows.  I just know that it HAS to be here before the 18th!!!  I have to be able to find a few caches before the get together and, of course, there will hopefully be some evil Tanky hide to find as well.  I am going through withdrawals.  Maybe a beer will help. Even better, maybe 3 beers will help. Yeah, that's the ticket.........

What standing do they have when it isn't on their property?
Honestly, who's going to explain to them the difference between
public and private property???
Why did Groundspeak fold in to this?
Will they start disabling caches at the whim of anyone, even if it
isn't on private property???
