This cache is the promised successor to If I Could Save Time in a Bottle (GC7GVTZ), a time capsule cache I placed here on 1/6/18. The cache contained a safe that geocachers would write notes to their future selves in. As promised, three years to the date it was hidden, I have archived the listing and am republishing it. I had a great time sitting in the snow and reading each of your entries in the safe. Some are pretty personal, so instead of having new finders pick theirs up, I will anonymously put a few up here. You know who you are.
"Hi 2021 me! Tomorrow I audition for "Cabaret" the musical. It is 4/24/18. I wonder what show I am doing in 2021?? Hope I have a lead (haha). Am I still exploring abandoned places? I hope so! Anyway. Hope 2021 is an awesome year!"
"Turned 50 in Jan. At 1635 caches as of this one. Oldest daugher is HS senior & her sister is HS freshman. Hope M is doing well at WashU when this is reopened!"
"Buy the house"
"First day of autumn, my first trip to HPSF. My geowoofer "Boo" has cancer and we've done everything in our power. We're out caching so her remaining time can be amazing. These woods feel like home and rejuvinate me. I need to do this more often."
"157 caches away from 1000 finds in a year. Where will I be when this box is archived? Will be fun to see and think of all the adventures I've been on."
"Nature hikes are our favorite thing to do. Hopefully in 3 years the boys will still enjoy doing this with us. :) "
"One reason I'd like to save this time is because I still have Daisy to accompany me on ocacasion."
"Hope to travel to the island."
"This was my 8th FTF – what will I have in 3 years?"
"Make as many memories as you can in 3 years"
"We were young then––"
"After being shut in for 3 weeks durng the COVID-19 Pandemic, it felt good to get outside for some fresh air and a few caches. Can't wait for 3 years to go by so I can see how ridiculous this all was."
"I hope I'm still here in 3 yrs without the virus."
"Hello! My name is Jess. I'm 24 + I'm from Salem, MA. The world is nuts right now w/ COVID-19, hoping all is well soon. Just started up Geocching again. I love it!"
"Out geocaching today ith FindingNeverland44. The other half is off hiking the PCT. Luckse is a happy companion. Later I will watch #4 play a volleyball game. #2 headed into the wilds of Alaska yesterday. In 3 years, #3 will have completed almost 3 years of college and #4 will be graduationg high school. Time flies!"
"Found this cache with Twentyfourpaws today! The other half of findingneverland is currently out West, hiking the Pacific Crest Trail. We met some dogs that made friends with Lucksee on the way. A drizzly but pleasant spring day! Blossoms just startng, ground fresh from rain. Hope we can return in 3 years to see how things have changde, by this pond and in our own lives!"
"Caching with Kikiisme. In 3 years, I hope my younger son has a job he is happy with. I hope I feel better in the left hip area. I hope I have logged a lot of caches I have been to."
"June 20, 2017 – Grandson Carter is born. I hope that I have been able to take Carter out geocaching. I hope to still be geocaching 3 years from now."
"1) to be out of the Guard 2) to have my license 3) Be married"
"I am mostly a letterboxer (almost 2000 finds) but have recently become more active geocaching (232 finds). First came to Andover in 2009 for a letterboxing event, and this is my 9th visit. We were letterboxing in the rain last night! Personal... live in Chester, Ct and sort of between careers. Teaching zumba, tutoring, subbing. Very curious to see where I'll be + what I'll be doing in 3 yrs!!"
"Here for a much needed walk in the woods. We are mid-pandemic– doing good and loving woods time."
"July 11, 2018: I hope this cache racks up the favorite points! I hope I find a great college. I hope my best friend comes out of the Army safe." (This one was mine)
Thanks for all your entries and I hope you had a great past three years. Here's to many more great years to come.
