Geocaching

With traditionals I mean all the caches you have found are traditional caches.
We are going to the lakes in an other state tomorrow to try to find some more caches.

I forget about that word "Traditional" sometimes. I don't even use it. Actually, i am more likely to refer to the non-traditional caches like Unknown or Mystery caches, Virtual caches, etc. Everything is a traditional cache if it doesn't fall into one of the specific categories elsewhere.

Most of the caches I have found are traditionals. One of the one I found yesterday, though, was a Virtual cache. It was the burial site of a Revolutionary War soldier who was the commander of A Company. His wife was also buried in this small historic cemetary. There were only 3 graves. It was really cool.

I have been finding some micros that were more tricky. Two of them were part of this fictitious murder and you have to find containers that look like body parts. So far, in this series, I have found the "victim's" heart, a finger, and his foot. Also, several were micros yesterday, and some were quite creative. One was inside of a snail's shell. It's amazing what you will find as far as containers are concerned.

Found a serie of 25 geocaches not very far from us.
It looks like a mini powertrail with so many geocaches.
I'm looking forward to start searching for those 25 geocaches.

You should try to do them all in one day. That would be awesome!

There's a cache nearby the mall where I get my WiFi. All I have to do is get some time to find it, even without a live GPS.

In the messages people who have done all the caches I have read it will take you 5 hours to find all the caches.
We'll try to find as much as possible on one day.

No caches anywhere near where I'm staying right now.

Started to find the serie of 25 bird caches.
Yesterday we have found 9.
One was very hard to find, hope we can find this one later.
I like to find series.

It's just been so hot that I haven't wanted to cache. Also, with school back in session and me back to work, I haven't had as much time to play. I might get out later in the week.

Bird caches? Do the caches represent various birds, or do they show where various species live?

The caches have pics of birds you have to guess what bird it is.

I didn't have a sub job for today, and I need to get cookies for our annual back to school swimming party we do at church. So, I am going to Murfreesboro and will get the cookies. I am going to try to find at least 6 caches. 5 finds would get me to 500 total finds thus far for the year. 6 will take me to 1240 total finds. Wish me luck!

Wish you luck with the annual back to school swimming party at church.
Promise me you bring as much cookies to church as you have bought
Now go and find at least 6 caches today.
Isn't it wonderful tonot to have a sub job for today?

I'd prefer to be making money today, but I'll take the day off just the same.

Hope there's a sub job for you tomorrow.

I went out to look for one cache without a GPS (I can't use data while in France). I couldn't find the sign where it is hidden. I guess I'm looking in the wrong spot, as it is a trail on the beach.

I managed to find 12 caches today. Two were multi-stage caches! Most of these were micros. One of the caches I found helped me to cover another block on my difficulty/terrain chart. I now have 43 of the 81 diff/terr combinations covered.

I am now at 1246 total, and 507 for this year.

I need to do more difficult terrain caches, but we don't have much of caches like this since we don't have many hills or mountains.

507 this year. that are a lot of chaces you have found.
At the beginning of May we only had 50 geocaches and now, today we have 161 geocaches.

After getting the battery in my truck replace today, I went out and found 8 more caches. One was a 1 diff/4 terr that I needed for my chart. I now only have 37 more spaces to finish filling it completely.

Of the 8 caches today, 6 were FTFs. I am a beast!

You are a FTF beast.
What are you doing you need a 1diff/4 terr and have 37 more spaces to finish filling it completely.
Are it special geocaches , or you are working on special caches?
It sound interesting.

My goal is caches ... more caches .... more & more caches.
No, I don't think I'm a beast.

If you look at your profile at www.geocaching.com, you will see a link near the top of your page that says "Statistics". Click on that, and you will see a breakdown of how many caches you've found each year, your difficulty/terrain chart (that I will refer to now as D/T), what countries you've cached in, etc. That D/T chart has 81 spaces in it showing every combination possible of each level. I have found at least one of 44 out of the 81 D/T combinations. I want to work on filling it all in. That is referred to by some cachers as a "fizzy challenge". I don't know why they call it that. I have just heard it referred to that way.

This is interesting, I will check it out.
I'm curious how many caches we have found this year.

I tried to check your stats, but I get this message when I look at your profile:

This user has elected to not display their detailed statistics.

Look into your account preferences and see if you can turn those on. I'd like to look at them from time to time. No one will make fun of you for what you are or are not doing. Each cacher only competes against him or herself. No one will look down on you if you don't have thousands and thousands of finds.

The settings are changed so now you can see what I have found how many and where.
It's really interesting to read your statics.

I got my virtual. So that's my first cache abroad, overseas, and in France; as well, it's my first virtual.
