cneumann98's Supersonic 5K Smilestone!! Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

24hawki: I was disappointed by the lack of interest in this puzzle. I'm glad the honoree got a find. This cache was about a supersonic rise from around 3K to 5K finds in a very short time. But since then, the honoree has changed gears and warped to 15K. WOW. I'm going to let this one go in anticipation of placing a 20K cache. [;)] Thanks to all who took the time to honor Cheryl and find this cache. [^]

Geocache Description:


CACHE IS NOT AT POSTED COORDINATES!!

On December 28, 2011 somewhere near the base of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, cneumann98  earned her first official as a geocacher. In the years since, she has steadily built her find count. Last December on her 7th geo-anniversary, she found #4000. Since then, she went into supersonic mode and recently hit the 5000 plateau. Really, look at these numbers:
#1000 on 9/14/13, 626 days elapsed
#2000 on 7/8/15, 662 days elapsed
#3000 on 6/3/17, 696 days elapsed
#4000 on 12/28/18, 573 days elapsed
#5000 on 6/28/19, only 182 days elapsed!!
Here are some important facts that cneumann98 takes great pride in:
Each four digit milestone has been a different icoN type,
and each milestone was associated With a different state!!

2018 was (briefly) her best find count year, but in the last six months, she has already blown that number out of the water!!
Will we see #6000 before the end of 2019
Congratulations to my good geo-buddy on this achievement!!

Cheryl always enjoys a good puzzle so here is a tribute puzzle commemorating all of her milestones (so far)!!

Cache is located at:
N 41° (1K-120)(2K-46).(3K-101)(4K-95)(5K-82)
W 90° (1K-47)(2K-98).(3K-117)(4K-86)(5K-126)

In addition, this is part solve-at-home and part field puzzle.
If 2014 = KLM, you need LKM to gain access to the logsheet.
