I have been out today and reached my first first notable milestone of 100 Geocaches. I am over the moon about it and can't wait to get back out again. It seems like it has taken a very long time but I got there in the end! I have said for a while that I will treat myself to a brand new 100 finds geocoin.
Silly self taken picture to mark 100 finds. GZ just in the background!
HGH 16-Way Down (GC2HXY3) is the cache that happened to fall as my 100th. It is a cache that I have attempted before but didn't look very well because it was getting dark and I was rushing back. I also got 2 others in this series today which means I have 19 out of the 20 in total. I had planned on getting the other one as well but I didn't realise the cache was on the top on the step old quarry and I had got to the bottom. It would have meant doubling back and my legs where already telling me to call it a day. Unfit I know but 2012 I am hoping to change all of that!
Beautiful waterfall that was a nice surprise when I came round the hillside.
What milestones have you got? Can you remember your 100th? Or are you still looking forward to your 100th? Post in the comments as I love reading what people think of my stories, and love to read yours!
I still remember my 100th find. It was a TB hotel in denmark wich we visited right after leaving the ferry from norway and before going back home after a wonderful holiday.
ReplyDeleteI have heard about the TB hotels but still haven't come across one yet.
ReplyDeleteI would love to go to Norway to see the Northern Lights, maybe a little caching there at some point!
Norway indeed is worth a journey. My family used to own a cabin in the southeast for several years an we spent 2 or 3 holidays a year there. Very nice country.
ReplyDeleteI remember that it took me so long to get to 100 finds, and then even longer to get to the next milestone cache. Sadly some of the milestone caches that I found no longer exist. Here are mine so far.

Hit my 100 mark a few months ago. Every since then I've been focusing on putting out geocaches. I do look for them if they interest me (find micros boring).
