Dan,
I had a great time... Your two rest stop caches were my first and last
caches.
Yes unfortunately I did have an encounter with a police... while I was
out caching last Thursday someone decided they needed everything in my
campsite more than I did. They stole my tent, sleeping bag, sleeping pad,
pillow, stove, coffee pot and even my dirty laundry... such is life...
As far as number of caches... I found one for each day in a year.
