Geocache Description:

Yet another seemingly important milestone! (The cache is not at the posted coordinates.)

Whoa, the milestones come quickly sometime...in light of my recent 100,000th cache hide (yeah, no kidding), it's time for another couple of cakes. ;)

Hmm...technically that makes this my 100,001st cache...it was easier to make this order of magnitude jump, though, since fully 10d of those new caches were events, admittedly. But I've also been working hard to get to my 10,000,000,000th find! Almost there!

So again, in honor of these two milestones, I have made two cakes, and 'candled' them in the tradition of my family. This was always how our birthday cakes were lit growing up, and as an adult I was shocked to find that nobody else's family did this, they actually used a whole lot of candles, or used candles shaped like numbers, or...wow. I was flabbergasted when even my programming geek buddies all looked at a birthday cake I made and couldn't figure it out. I guess I am a geek even to other geeks. That can't mean anything good, I'm sure. So...to spread the geekdom, here are TWO celebratory cakes, 1 for my someday 10,000,000,000th find, and 1 for my 100,000th hide!

Enjoy!

P.S. The only significance to the posted coordinates is - well, look at the sat photo - it's an 'X'! ;)

There's a dollar coin taped to the micro cache for the FTF. ;)

Congrats to BenH57 on the FTF!
