NatalieD! has hit 2000 caches? Inconceivable! Nat, Geocachings one
and only caching ninja monkey, started caching in January,
2010 and hasn't stopped since. 2000 caches in 17 months from this
woman is quite the achievement.
Some of her achievements as of this writing include (but aren't
limited to):
• 343 cache finds in one month
• 332 consecutive days with finding a cache
• 7 different caching icons found in one day
• Only the 17th person to finish the daunting Challenging Challenge
Challenge (and in only 15 months!)
• Over 100 First to Finds
• 31 FTF's in one day
• Over 30 geocache hides
Natalie has become quite the well-known cacher in the area due to
her fearless ability to grab a cache. Whether it's scaling a tree
to get a cache 40 feet up, or walking across tiny rocks in a river
to get to a cache on an island, Natalie has never turned down the
challenge.
She's my caching partner, my partner-in-crime, and very good
friend. These days, our names have become virtually synonymous with
one another. If I'm caching alone and see a fellow cacher on the
trail, I'll usually get a "Where's Nat?" comment from them. It's
actually difficult to remember ever caching without her.
Whether we are in the forest in the middle of the night in -14
degree weather chasing an FTF, staring down the barrels of guns
from LEO's while getting caught "night-caching", or getting swarmed
by police for driving on a "bike trail" in the dead of winter, her
and I always have a great time caching together. Having found
easily nearly 1000 caches together we know each other quite well,
and have got our "looking for a cache" system down pat. I
hate caching without her by my side (especially when the cache is
up the tree). What else can I say, I'll just be honest, I love
her.
Congratulations Natalie. Your an amazing woman and an absolutely
amazing cacher.
