Life and cache update! August 2026
We (teamziegler1) started our caching journey in 2015 after my 4th grade teacher (PeguinTeacher) introduced the concept to me. Being much younger at the time I could not cache alone so my dad often allowed me to stop while out and about on vacations and while running errands. My mom and my sister were never too thrilled about stopping for caches.
A year into caching, we decided to hide our first cache here. We owned property nearby and in the area once every month or two. Lots of years passed and we have moved our family vacations into the mobile format with an RV. No longer owning property here, we come down once a year, if at all.
This hobby is a lot less of the “teamziegler” it once was. I took the account mostly solo after I could drive myself around to get caches. At that time I learned a lot of new things about the hobby and was able to make it to my first event. I made several friends in my caching community back home and have made it to over 4,000 finds and counting.
In the last year we hit 1,000 finds on this cache. We have had a good 10-year run at this really cool spot. Because we do not regularly make it to the area, if this cache ever goes missing it will get archived. I did a good clean out of the cache and changed the log today. I appreciate those who have helped change logs and clean out the cache in the past and of those who will in the future. As long as this sign exists, I hope to keep this cache alive. Here’s to at least 10 more years!!
This is our first cache. BYOP. We have owner permission to place this cache. Special treat for FTF. Happy Caching and Good Luck. FTF honors go to Hagersam1974 and horriblehager.
