Shelby Farms re-visited

Hooked up with pcsenn for two days of caching in the Memphis area. Pcsenn was in a warpath to complete the West Tennessee Mega Multi series. We arrived at Shelby Farms and first picked up Ode to Spencersb. Had to beat down the briers to get to that one. We found The Mystery of the Lost Treasure of Beale and then pcsenn found the Up the Creek Up the Wolf cache of the WTMM. We did a lot of work on Cache Obscura, a very evil and ingenious hide. Then finalized with cache finds near the new greenway, The Frank Stockton Cache, The Lady, or the Tiger, Blue Trail???, Greenline- #1 and had some fun with The 385 Cache where pscenn knocked out another grid category.

After nine miles of hiking in Shelby Farms we headed to the nearby Osprey Park where pscenn found another WTMM, Osprey Nest Platforms. We also found West Lake, Lake or Pond? and walked across the new footbridge over the Wolf River to find Rusty's Trail.

The next day, pscenn completed the West Tennessee Mega Multi and I picked up a few park and grabs on the way home.

Overall, successful two days of caching, hiking over 12 miles and thankfully my knee didn't give me any trouble.

2010

The year 2010 is coming to an end in a couple of weeks. While my geocaching numbers way down due to a deployment to the Middle East, I did accomplish some goals. Managed to work off a few category grid finds, added the state of New York, countries of Kuwait and Iraq to my geo-profile. One noted stat is that I increased my cache to cache miles by 36,000 miles; know I have over 95,000 cache to cache miles. Since my return home, I have only gone after simple park & grabs due to the weather and lack of time.

Next year I should reach 3,000 finds and hope to complete the requirements for the Well Rounded Cacher.
