While no where near the number of caches found, etc. of others, I have
managed a couple of personal milestones yesterday.
I have been concentrating lately on the more "historic" caches in
Arizona lately. I tend to pass by newer caches while on my way to older
caches.
1) 1,300 total caches. Finally. I have not been too active at caching
lately, so my number curve has flattened significantly.
2) All of the Arizona active GCXX caches found. In order of finds, and
who I was with:
GC7B - T824 Table Mesa - AZJedi.
GC57 - Geocache - My daughter MarimibaEmma (Rachel)
GCED - Senda de Tonto - Rachel
GC92 (in Portland, Or) - My son Adam
GC7E - Adam
GCFE - Diablo Point. - Rachel. Right in my backyard. My first real
south mountain hike, and me having lived in Phoenix most of my life. It
was about time.
There were two more GCXX caches in Arizona. Both are archived.
GC95 Metro Pecan - The first AZ urban cache - but it lasted from Oct
2000 to May 2001. It was beaten with a bat to the death.
GCB5 Rock Corral - This lasted from Nov 2000 to Feb 2001. Someone
took it.
5 out of 7 still active. Not a bad record overall I would say.
Now, to start on the GCXXX caches.... There are many more of them. I am
counting 47 active. A bit more difficult to obtain them all. I count a
history of about 101 GCXXX caches in Arizona. Of those, 54 have been
archived. I have found now 6 of the total 102, with two of these now
archived. So, I have a long ways to go (43), and much hiking required.
And, boy, am I out of shape. We shall see.
So, I wonder, who else among the AZ Cachers has gotten all the GCXX
caches?
And, at last, a question, what are your quests, if any, in caching
terms?
* Count?
* Specific caches?
* Just fun?
* ???
