If anyone has a 2010 turtle bonus card that they want to trade for a 2009 otter card, let me know. I'll also throw in some history or extra critter cards that my kids swiped.

Bart, I've completed both. Finished up last fall in September. Haven't finished logging them yet. Only have two parks to finish logging though. Did Garden Island both times too.

I believe the most amazing pair to complete both years is Nestaron&Aranel. I think they finished in about a month both years, and finished first last year. Incredible!

The ammo can at Fort Snelling was not in ideal shape. 2 of the 3 hinge pins are missing and the lid falls off. When I found it, the lid was not closed properly and the log was damp. I think a replacement can that is in working order would help newer cachers close it properly. I did post a maintenance log, but I thought that bringing it up here would help lead to action if it is deemed necessary.

The coords leading to stage 2 at Sakatah are off by quite a bit. It's been mentioned a ton of times in the logs. Andy, can you see if you can get them to actually fix it?

The initial coords to Great River Bluffs are another example. I took better coordinates but have since lost them.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out the first stage is at the office, although the coordinates point nearest to a stop sign about 100' past the office (for me anyway).

I bought my annual pass memorial weekend of 2010. I have hit 15 state park caches since than. It is now August 26th 2010. According to my figures I have about 2 years left of caching the state park caches...is this DOABLE? Without killing myself? Today I hit 4 State Caches..I left at 6:30am and got home around 4ish Those 4 caches took me about 10 hours and 350 miles...I hit one cache that was not a State Park Cache.....Urrggg....Long, Long day...But I am having fun and scouting camping areas that will appeal to me in the near future...

GC1P4ZV St. Croix Islands/Boom Site Wildlife Safari has gone MIA and apparently there are no plans to replace it. It needs to be either disabled or archived - I know I wasted 45 minutes of my life I'll never get back looking for it.

Again?? Wow...

This spring I was out there and stage 1 was missing one day, and we couldn't brute force the final. The next time we were back, all stages were in place... but the final was not an ammo can (nor was it very waterproof), making me think it had been replaced. Apparently they just flat out need a new location...
