Geocache Description:


This is the 10th of 12 caches we have placed corresponding to the 12 years of the annual West Bend $1,000 Cache Ba$h, with this one celebrating Cache Ba$h #10 (GC6TKHJ), from the year 2017.   Parking is available in the parking lot at N43 24.875 W88 13.155.  It is recommended to first find GC9BX37 (2142 Cache Ba$h 3), followed by GC9BX3N (2150 Cache Ba$h 11), then followed by this cache for a more efficient route.

The theme of Cache Ba$h 10 was "Cache WARS."

It was epic. 

There were pre-bash meet & greet events on Wednesday and Thursday, a Friday night light saber flash mob event, and 10 "Battle the Dark Side" night lab caches on Friday & Saturday, as well as two events on Sunday.  But Saturday - that's where the force was REALLY stong!  Of the 66 themed caches placed for the event, 10 of the caches were part of a special competition between 5 cache hiders of the Rebel Alliance and 5 cache hiders of the Dark Forces of the Empire. The hiders worked hard to create one of a kind, amazing geocaches placed for cachers to vote on for the best geocache of the bash.  The Rebel Alliance won, but not by much!  It's certain to say that with caches like these everyone was a winner, hiders and finders!  With hard-to-create gadget caches and creative-themed caches like these it's no wonder that almost 2,000 favorite votes have been awarded to them!

Many commented that this was the best cache ba$h ever.  Of course we pretty much feel that way every year!  smiley

Some of the statistics:

  • 581 attended logs (about 1,200 people?)
  • 1,500 caches overall located within 10 miles
  • 1,916 favorite votes (as of summer 2021)
  • Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday meet & greet or flash mob events
  • Friday & Saturday lab night caches
  • 27 of 66 caches still active as of summer 2021 (get them while you can!)

We placed this cache in the spirit of those caches from the Cache Wars year, and hope you enjoy all the caches at this year's Cache Ba$h 2021!
