captphil started geocaching in September 2006 and is just a few caches away from logging his 10,000th cache! Some of his accomplishments include 15 (fifteen!) of the State Star geo-arts (with plans to do many more) and the Cache Across America challenge (yes - the one where you have to get a CERTAIN cache in all 50 states! He was the 7th to complete the challenge out of only 21 that have done so - a very elite group!) He has hundreds of first to finds and is CO of over 100 caches!
I have been very fortunate to cache with captphil and his wife 1st_mate... we did the 2nd Annual Hatfield McCoy GeoTrail Event (mega) where his SUV literally DIED in the parking space in front of our bed and breakfast... we did the Ohio 50 State Star along with jazzbiscuit... we did GeoWoodstock XIII (again along with jazzbiscuit) which included the Maryland state star, the West Virginia state star, and the most awesome Wherigo at Antietem Battlefield... and most recently, we did the Geo Art: MOGA 2016 Flame - Opening Event (yup, with jazzbiscuit) and all 50 MOGA Flame caches. We always have a great time and I look forward to doing many more with our little group (captphil, 1st_mate, jazzbiscuit and myself).
Please join us in celebrating captphil's 10,000 cache milestone at The Phoenix Brewing Company starting at 6:30pm on March 23. (We'll say the event will run until 8:00pm, but the brewery is open until 10:00pm.)
While food for purchase is not available at the brewery, you are free to bring carry in - or order from the pizza shop across the parking lot behind the building and have it delivered to your table!
