There are some of my caches that were archived 6-8 months ago, and they have been restored. I like the low numbers, plus I'm finding it easier than getting approval for new ones. This means I've actually placed about 10 'new' caches, but not getting a boost in # of caches placed. I don't care. If you previously found one of these, you are welcome to claim another find at the new location.

I have been removing caches earlier than required, because I have the time to do it now, and probably won't in April. The Long Lake ones will probably be next, within a week. If anyone hasn't been to these, the time is now.

I'm really getting pissed. I have four caches ready to go. I've found some areas, with a bit of distance between caches, but if I place them, they'll be short-lived. LIMITS ! ARRRGGGGH

I had four hours yesterday, and didn't place anything new. Another one was archived. It would have been two, but I couldn't find one. I don't know if I'll make it to #150, and I had a couple ideas for that: one controversial perhaps, and the other a high degree of difficulty.

I'm thinking of pulling a bunch to get the number down, and all virtuals. I don't hunt, I hide. At least I used to.

I was bummed out today to find Jab's Farm has been archived, I was really looking forward to doing that cache.
My vote is for the high difficulty cache.
Thank You KB for hiding all the cache's, I could have not topped 150 in the time that I have without your cache's. My guess is that 75 - 80+ % of my finds are KB hides. Some have been very easy and others have taken me many visits to complete, but I have enjoyed every one of them. One of my goals for next year is to search for more quality than quantity of cache's. I am also ready to place more of my own cache's, I have the containers, all I need now is the contents.

Close to 100 of my finds are kingboreas caches--my first 3 finds were kingboreas caches, and 10 of the 11 caches I found this weekend are kingboreas caches. If he didn't place them, who would? I have found all of his caches to be well placed in interesting areas that I would not have ordinarily known about. When I first signed up to Geocaching in December, 2000, there were 4 or 5 caches in the state, so I put the site out of mind until over a year later when I came back to check things out, and then, there were almost 300. It's through people willing to place them that this sport is able to grow--I'm in it for the hunt, and without anybody placing them, I would just be a guy wandering around in the woods.

Wanted to chime here too. King - BIG THANKS! 61 of my 256 finds are yours, including all nine of today's finds. Your caches have been a huge part of the hobby for me. I've cursed your name so many times during difficult hunts. . .until I find the cache that is. Then it's all praise!

THANK YOU KINGBOREAS!

I agree. I seldom look at who placed a cache when I hunt for it, but I am never surprised to see the words "Another Kingboreas cache" on the lid when I open the container. KB has brought me to great places all over the cities that I would otherwise never have seen.

Thanks KB!
