Geocache Description:

Part of a ten-cache series to honor TeamAlamo's achievment of hitting 10,000 caches found and becoming the top male geocacher of all time. Visit all ten to find the coordinates for the final tribute cache!


The Series:

There are ten caches in this series. Each cache contains one-tenth of a $10,000 bill with a number on it. When you visit each cache, note the location of the bill segment and the number on the bill. Use these ten numbers to find the final cache!

A bit of history: Lee's 3000th cache!

I was still a few weeks away from my first face-to-face meeting with TeamAlamo (then vdbalamo), but Lee was already busy helping organize the first BADGES event on January 24, 2004 - which would be find #3000 for him. Though we hadn't met yet, we'd already had our share of interactions and exchanges, both publicly via cache logs and private email exchanges. In February, I would meet up with Mr. VDB, Fisherwoman, and WalruZ for a cache here in Martinez, and the rest, as they say, is history. We've since had many an outing together, both day and night - and here's looking forward to many more.

Team Alamo has continued to organize events - and play matchmaker, even if indirectly. BuckyDef and WalruZ met at a BADGES event, and look where that led!

Thanks, my friend!


Per my standard modus operandi, I hid this cacher's cache at night. It is well stocked with supplies that should prove useful on the trail, including: compasses, hand warmers, emergency poncho, poison oak protection, sun screen, insect repellant, lanyard, mini maglight, and even a ready-to-deploy MartianRabbit micro cache.

Oh yeah - and a cache camera - please take a photo of yourself, and note the number of exposures remaining. Also a White Jeep TB, as a little incentive. Come and get it!
