NorthWest Arkansas Cachers

I intend to do more caching! Hope all the members get to do the same.
Happy New Years each and everyone!

Yeah , I will resolve to write better logs, that's about the only promise I feel comfortable with.

Happy New Year Red Ink and all the rest of my NWA friends.

Happy New Year's as well! My goal is to hit the 100 mystery cache mark by the end of the year.

Is that found, or hidden?

Just wondering who achieved their goals for last year? 2010 Resolutions

As for *TnT*, we achieved our 3000th find and 1000 finds in both AR and TX. We didn't make it to 100 hides though.

For 2011:

1. 3500 finds
2. 111 hides
3. 300 Missouri finds
4. 300 Oklahoma finds.

That's pretty impressive!
As for the past year, I didn't accomplish diddly.

100 puzzles caches found is the goal. I'm sure anyone else wanting to pick up Cardinal's challenge is wishing I was putting out 100 puzzle hides.

Yep, we're within 5 of qualifying for Cardinal's challenge cache and have solved most of yours and Mobius's puzzles. Someday, we'll make time to get down there and sign the logs on many of them.

With my new heart I intend to get a lot more deep woods caches this year. I hope to get out on a good hike in the hills at least once every other week or so. Anybody who wants to get a group up let me know.

1. Hit 2000 this year.
2. Get a few more hides out, including at least 1 multi and 1 letterbox.
3. host an event
4. Put out at least one more challenge cache.

Check out down by Hot Springs. gingerose has a TON of challenge caches down there, including her own version of the 100 mystery.

Ha! At first I thought you were talking metaphorically, then I remembered.
Hit me up in advance before your next woodsy adventure.

I suppose also on my list for 2011 would include: Log the Gorilla Stash cache in Mountain Home, 1k total finds ,and attend my first event.

Rick,
With your new heart and my new knee, count me in. I know of one that's going to be placed (I Hope)
with about 2100' of vertical relief that will give us a workout.

With the amount of medical bills we've paid surely the search and rescue units would come after us.
As for Nick, we will need him to go for help.

Sounds good. Let me know when it gets online.

^ From last year's resolutions. Well, I did make it to 600. Can't exactly remember when anymore. And I took a few more trips than I had planned/thought I'd be able to make. As most of those who know me know, a lot has changed for me in the last year, and I'm unfortunately no longer in the NWA area. But, I have made several other milestones since then. I now have 30 states cached in, hit the 1,000 mark March 24th, finally (had originally wanted 500 every six months...), and have found Mingo, finally.

For tis year, I can't really make too many goals. Tis kinda hard to stop for caches while out on the road a lot of times, specially to get to most of them with the big Pumpkin. Where in the world do you park a 73 foot long tractor and trailer at some of these places ?! On the shoulder! LOL I'd like to find some more caches that were placed in 2000. D and I found a challenge cache somewhere along the road that requires you find a cache placed during each of the first seven months of caching. So far, we have two. May and June (I think). Mingo and Gorilla Stash. I'd also like to write better logs, and try to keep on top of logging them in a much more timely manner than I have over the last year. I FINALLY caught up on logging about 300 caches a few weeks ago, from the last year plus of caching. rofl Oops!
