Also - the caching bug is building here...had five new ones posted yesterday - three were mine - they were all found within an hour!
Southwest Wyoming has the largest concentration of caches in the state and most of them are in the Green River area :five: |

Our trip was to the Original Stash in Portland, Or. Since we were in the area, we went to the Project A.P.E. cache in Seattle, Wa (it has its own icon) Then we went up to Canada and grabbed a geocache there.
We ended up getting 53 geocaches in the 4 1/2 day trip.
It was awesome, exept for the marathon drive home from Seattle.

| Hey fourtycal - we need to get out next time I'm down and hit some caches in the valley somewhere. I'll let you know when I come down, although it could be a while. W |

Yes we do!, There are hundreds right in my area that I have not even looked for.
I think Don has you beat with his Iraq cache as far as long distance goes :haha: . |

| I think the farthest cache I have done is in Costa Maya Mexico, but according to Google Earth, it is Florida. |

My furthest by far was in Iraq (see: http://uutah.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3753). Second furthest for me was in Central Park NYC while there on vacation for New Years Day.
I dropped off a TB from UT in the park and still have a TB from there that I plan to drop in the Swell this weekend... |

How are you able to own one in the Caribbean? Don't you have to live within like 200 miles or something? I guess there probably aren't as many caches being placed down there.
Where is it, and is it or is it not a MacGyver cache? |

as far as I understand it the "where can i place a cache " rule depends on the cacher, the reviewers look at how active you are, how much you travel, etc.. if it's a "vacation cache" meaning you go there once and leave a cache and wont be back for years ( or ever ) they really tend to frown on that... but if it's somewhere you go regularly and can onvince them of that they haev always been fine with it...
to answer your question my cache down there is Disney Island GCB4C7
