I hate to say it but, i'm in the middle of the road on this one. I hope I don't
get run over!
LOL
I can see Mike & the others point & I 90% agree. However, like Dan said, we
don't all live in
a cache rich environment like St. Louis. Although there is getting to be a good
number of
caches in the Quincy/Hannibal/Keokuk areas, about 1/2 are mine & the other 1/2
i've already
done. So, I have to drive 1-2 hours just to do a cache. I know it's silly but,
I was a little
bummed when I got little or no recognition for #200. E-mails will be fine for #
300 though!
