Geocaching on School Grounds

Despite having guidelines in place for the placement of geocaches, it isn’t uncommon for some geocaches that are against guidelines to slip through the cracks.  Some might be questionably against guidelines to begin with.  Some might be okay and it’s up to intepretation.  Some just flat should never be placed.  Caches on school grounds is one of them.  And lately, I’ve seen a few that slipped through the cracks.

Geocaching 12 of 12 & an event

This last weekend, I drove up North to attend the 6th Annual Kearney Picnic. This picnic is the event of events for Nebraska. Located at Ft. Kearney State Park, the event is an all day social gathering with buffered by camping. With the event on 9/12/09, it was perfect timing for another online event called a 12 of 12.

2 Milestones Reached

What has it been…about six weeks since I last posted anything more than a quick update. Let’s try and fix that. Some things have been going on and it’s time to start getting back to posting about my adventures.

70 Days

I’m finally back in Kansas City, but only for a few days. I soon leave for another trip. This time, I’m heading to Dallas to spend my birthday with my family for the first time in four years. I’ve finished up a great trip, involving camping, astronomy, and geocaching. I’ve got some stories to tell. But while I unpack and get a bit more organized, albeit temporarily, I’ll just do a quick update today.

My trip results in around 70 + caches overall. I survived the hardest part of keeping my streak up and am now at 70 days in a row of caching. Only 18 more days until students return to school, and my goal is officially met.

Since beginning my streak, I’ve found 351 caches. And right now, I only need 104 more to reach 2000 finds. Cachestats predicts me reaching that by the end of August. Can I do better?

Heading to NSP

Well, it’s about 3:44 AM. I’m sitting in 8601’s apartment. While it is early in the morning, I have been slowly adjusting my sleeping schedule in preparation for the NEBRASKA STAR PARTY that I have talked about in a few previous posts. Because of where I’ll be, I might not get much of an opportunity to post anything on here for a while. I’ll try to stop at the local library to provide an update or two but no larger posts are planned.

Now to get some sleep as I need to be up in about two hours to get ready to leave. I need to be in Grand Island by 9:00 AM for an event cache and it’s about 2 – 2.5 hours, and I’m going to grab a few caches along the way.

My streak is still going strong:

Total days in a row cached – 57 days
Total caches found during streak – 286 caches
