Leap Year Event Event Cache

LasVegasBones: Thank you all for attending this special event. It was special to us not only because of Leap Year but this is also our 10,000th find! At a milestone like this one pauses to reflect on all the places you wouldn't have been to except you geocached...and all the people you wouldn't have met except you geocache. I want to thank my nephew, Seantrek, who started us on this crazy hobby when he asked if we minded stopping so he could find a cache in Colorado. As Sean was looking my husband climbed on the bridge to search also and I laid down to look under the bridge when a horseback rider came by giving us all the look reserved for crazies. We laughed so hard I was instantly hooked. I want to thank my husband, aka reluctant cacher, for enduring all those warrior wounds cartwheeling down steep slopes and crazy schemes to find a cache the GPS says is just this far. I have learned the GPS does not measure distance the way you hike. I have learned there is no need to bushwhack when you look at the satellite pic and discover a nearby road. I have loved the statistics and maps and puzzles. I think geocachers are the nicest people ever! Who would loan a stranger their boots because she wanted to go sloshing in a storm drain at night to find a d/t needed for a fizzy? Who would rent a ladder and meet you to find a cache? Color me happy!!!!Thank you Zella for our great sign!
