Wheels00 5K Large Swag Recycling Center

GC3G964 Wheels00 5K Large Swag Recycling Center is a milestone cache that was recently placed in honor of my caching friend Wheels.  If you remember, several of us embarked on a multi cache journey back in February 2012 to help Wheels achieve this milestone.  You can read about that caching day here.

Wheels and his family are avid recyclers, so cacher Dinaworks came up with the interesting concept of placing a milestone cache for Wheels in which cachers could place items that others can take home and re-use.  Here, take a look at the cache page GC3G964 for a really good explanation.

On Sunday evening a bunch of us met Wheels over at the cache location so he could find his cache.

The inside was already stocked with 2 DVD players, some books, CD's, speakers, an aquarium and assorted other items that are still in working order and can be re-used by somebody.

We all quickly signed the logbook and then scattered because the skies chose just that moment to open up and drown us with rain.  It was a quick, and sweet, moment.  Congrats on 5000 finds Wheels!

Wheels00 Hits 5000!

Over the weekend we were invited to partake in the 5000th geocache milestone adventure for our good buddy - Wheels00.

Wheels00 celebrating his milestone!

IrishCubsFan is jealous and WaltGrogan is in awe.....

We were along for the ride when Wheels hit # 2000 and I can't believe he's already done another 3000.  He is a geocaching madman in addition to being an all around nice guy.  He's one of the very first geocachers we met when we started caching and we always have a good time caching with him.

Six of us met up at 12:30 Saturday afternoon, armed with our tools and plans to attack the 7 cache Harry Potter series.  The series is based on the Harry Potter movies and there are 6 geocaches that you have to find, decipher the clues, and then get a code.  Once you have all 6 codes, you advance to the final cache to complete the series.  GC3A1KV  Harry Potter Year 7 - The Final Battle.

I'm just going to show you some of the photos from the different stages, but I can't tell you which caches they go with in order to protect the hides.

Figuring out how to maneuver around the marsh without getting our feet wet.....

Figuring out a puzzle....yes, in the woods.

What the heck do I do with this?

Hiking to another stage.....

What to do with this?

Everyone loves to climb......

Barely any snow but lots of straw grass to wade through.....

At the final......
