sPRINTING into 2022
It's time to wrap up 2021, and begin to unfold what's in store for 2022. Personally, I had a great year, both in terms of hiding and finding. This year has given me many great memories, and I found a ton of fun hides as well. In the GeoRoc community, numerous cachers helped place roughly 350+ caches around Rochester, and I am responsible for placing 6 of those. I also have accomplished some amazing things this year, such as reaching 1500 total finds, which equates to roughly 450 finds in 2022. I also found my first D5/T5 rated cache, and even found 80 caches in a single day! Feel free to share your accomplishments during the year 2021, or the current year. But this isn't all about me; it's about all the wonderful COs out there that make the game possible. It's the COs that give us the great joy of finding caches... rather those be P&Gs, creative/well themed caches, super unique puzzles, or even those who hosted an event to bring cachers all together. I would like thank those who keep the game fresh, whether they only hid 1 cache in 2021, or even some who hid like 50. Let's appreciate even if some just consistently maintained their caches. Geocaching has made my 2021 the best it could ever be, and as we exit the past, and enter into the future, may I wish you folks all but best! Cheers to a new year, hopefully one even better than 2021. Let's SPRINT into the new year!
The title refrences the start of a new year, but it's also the start of a new me. I recently a new "toy" this year for Christmas, and you might be able to guess what this might be, but once you make the find, the answer will be revealed. This cache was just a test, and I was playing around with it. Hopefully I can use this new tool to my fullest and start creating many great caches. Hopefully you don't mind the hike up here, but I can assure you it will be great hike in a wonderful trail system. Also, this might be the new highest active cache in elevation in Monroe county, if the geocaching app's topo maps are accurrate. I can't be sure as of writing this until it publishes, but it's without a doubt in the top 10.
Congrats to whakmi for SPRINTING across the map to snag a triple FTF!! What a bang to start her new year!
On a more lower note (haha... no), this one ties the spot #9 for highest elevated cache in Monroe county, sitting at 235 meters. Clearly the geocaching and project gc topo maps have some beef.
