Thanks John and Laurie. I appreciate the kind words. Yes, we have seen some neat places in our travels, some of which I'm sure woe would never have seen without looking for those little boxes in the woods. Our caching adventures took us to 47 states and 10 provinces, including New Foundland and Labrador. Cache on.

We wanted to be there today, but we had too many thing to do for our Rend Lake event. Not only have you reached 10,000, but we can only hope that we could travel and see all of the neat places you and Judy have been to and seen in your travels to reach this special day. You are one of SLAGA's class acts, and we are proud to know you and be able to call you friend. We have a special milestone award for you come spring, but don't stop. Keep right on going to the next one. Maybe we'll get together and go on a road trip with you and Judy someday.
