Lots of milestones here of a sudden, and in the dead of winter as well. I guess dedicated cachers are like the carriers of the U.S. Mail. Congrats to Each You.

I passed through the 200 mark while out this week on a quick run through the southern part of Hagerstown. I believe that #200 was Steak & Cheese #3 GCYCNJ. Thanks!

I know that it isn't REAL caching but I am proud to say that I found my 100th benchmark this past Saturday over near "President Truman's Washington Friend" (GCV57J).

Way to go, that is a big deal! I had found more unlisted benchmarks than listed so my list is very low. I of course never have my camera with me for those so I cannot waymark them.

I've probably got another 20 or so that are unlisted as well. I really hadn't thought of checking waymarking. Thanks for the idea!

All you need is a camera, GPS and of course be able to describe directions to the Benchmark! In fact the creator of the category is a MGS member!

WTG on finding your 100th benchmark -- and now I see you are up to 107. Finding the ones down on Jones Point, including the old, southeast cornerstone for DC down by the lighthouse -- can I guess why you were down there -- are just icing on the cake for the President Truman's Washington Friend" (GCV57J) cache. I managed to see James Carvell jogging while I found the cache and the benchmarks -- a three-fer. Glad you got a chance to visit my side of the Potomac.

You got it. Lighthouse, cache, benchmarks and a nice walk - Priceless!

Hey, kudos! I agree, that IS a big deal. I've found a handful but they're usually overlooked (well, at least I usually don't pay attention to them)

so a full hundred is impressive, wow!

I pay attention, say how neat, and usually can't find the listing. So I have lots of pictures.....

What he said! Very commendable. Some benchmarks are harder to find than caches (some you have to dig for!). We always check for benchmarks when we cache a new area, some are so old and historic, they are like an extra bonus! Great job:)

Well, I'll guess I'll note my 600th find here, on Friday March 9. Mobile Numbers was the cache. Lots of fun. But you should really check out the log of my 599th find, Catonsville Seniors Cache. That was fun.

Just wanted to say that I crested 700 yesterday south of Glen Burnie.

As a side note, this past weekend I am finished with all current caches in So. MD (Calvert, Charles and St. Mary's). That is until a few disabled ones go up or woody throws out another puzzle.

Time to work on AA County I guess.....
