..that I haven't done a blog entry in a while.I've been wanting to blog about our trip to America but I told myself, "Not until you're done logging all of your American geocaches!"
That means I have to painstakingly go back in time and find each cache online and log a "found" with a little note "Thanks for the Cache" (TFTC, if I'm in a hurry). And there are hundreds.
I get myself into this predicament cuz I go caching often, and don't feel like getting online after each outing to log. So they pile up. And my piles are embarrassingly large now.
Aarene once told me "Oh, I cache, but I don't log them!" and I am beginning to see her point. The thing is, I really want my numbers, my statistics. My number of caches found to one day be 2000.
Another obstacle is that I'm not a premium member (I am while employed, that is my rule). So for now I have to do a little URL hack to get the pesky "members only" caches logged. It's legal, don't worry, it's just super tedious.
Playing Dominion has addicted both my man and I - I got him the game for Christmas and the extension set for his bday. But I can't blame the game.I just need to get my darn geocaches logged first.

LOL, just glad to hear you're still alive! I was beginning to think you were hibernating in a snowbank. ;)
I guess it's a good thing I can never find geocaches. Saves me the trouble of logging them. You have over 1,500 found? Over how many years?
The funny thing is that your husband said that the geocaches on lamp posts are usually on the cover of the opening to the wires in the back. The one I looked at had the cover removed and sitting on the ground. I picked it up several times, and there was something long and metal attached to it, but I thought it was just the handle to the cover.
Funder, I am happy to say that we have had no accumulation here lately. We've certainly had snow, and hail, and sleet, and wind, but no piles and piles of white death. It feels so good! We (and the neighbors) have been out in the yard working (on the frozen mud, our shoes clean but our ankles twisted) like crazy! This time of year you feel like you can really start to get a handle on the blackberry problem, until they wake up, that is...
NM, I wanted to tell you that I started geocaching the week I met my husband the first time. He wasn't really a geocacher til he met me, which is odd. The thing is, he came to Seattle to meet me, had nothing to do while I was at work, so he started geocaching there (he'd done a few in Germany before that but wasn't hooked yet). So we kind of started together in 2006. That's why my profile says, "I fell in love with Geocaching, and fell in love Geocaching." (written before we knew we'd marry!)
We both feel that we are slackers, that we need to get out more, but he's so busy - so it's mostly vacation time that we cache like crazy.
My man *lol*d when he read your comment about the darn lamp post! You knew!
Looks like a fun game.......
I was wondering what had happened to you as well. I guess I should have known. Maybe I even should have asked did you go searching on the way to my place?? LOL
I'm pretty good keeping up with my letterboxing stats on Atlas Quest and sometimes on Letterboxing.org. It's really simple compared to the process updating found geocaches.
I'm impressed that you've found so many geocaches in just 5 years. We've been letterboxing for 3 years and have only found 300 boxes.
I suppose it's probably easier to find more geocaches because there tend to be so many of them and they are super quick to log into and rehide.
I still prefer letterboxing because my kidlets and I enjoy collecting the one-of-a-kind stamp images in our log books. But if we are somewhere and just want to fill in some time we can still find a few quickie geocaches, too.
I have no idea what Dominion is, but the picture looks interesting :)
