Did anyone catch Extreme Makeover last night? It was the family from Superior and they are geocachers. Pretty nice they sent them on a cache hunt to find their new car in Hawaii. I'm lucky if I find my own vehicle after I cache.

Up till a few years ago they lived in Two Harbors MN. Dont know if they cached then though.
What are the chances EskoClimber knows any firemen across the bridge?

I went through the logs of Critter Condo, which is a pretty quick find very near to their house, with no luck.

They probably have like 5 finds, ha, ha. I didn't quite catch on the show that they found a "real" cache. The one with the treasure box on the beach was a set-up, not a real one....if it was real, I'd go there and get me one of those Disney vacations that was inside.

I'm not sure a Hawaii find would be a give-away. I think only the real hard-core cachers would be interested in finding a cache while on vacation in Hawaii. Your average cacher that has a hundred finds over a year or two probably doesn't think "cache" when given a trip to Hawaii.

lol So does that make me hard core or average?
334 finds in 7 years but found 4 caches in Hawaii including this one Wink

After reading this article where they say they only had 3 days in Hawaii and "And their days were rigorously scheduled, down to the clothing they wore.", I don't think there will be a find in Hawaii.

Looks like the Wisconsin Geocaching Association doesn't know their geocaching handle either.

I looked through most of the profiles that found the near by GCJR06 Windmill Cache (183 finds), figured it was one of the easiest to find in the area so odds are they would have found it. None of the profiles were obviously them and really after looking at the occupation, location, and/or early finds/caches placements - none of them seemed to fit. Of course some of my assumptions could be wrong (wouldn't be the first time [i.e. I assumed location of Duluth, MN was a no]), but I'm wondering if their interest in geocaching wasn't part of the 'hollywood magic'. Either way it was good to get some national pub for geocaching and if they are geocachers, might be a good interview for Sir Zman, though I guess a bit of a stretch for Twin Cities.
