FOUND IT? POST IT!
While we are waiting for the leader-boards to come into being if you find a cache that has not been logged in over a year please post your experience on the forum here.

I found North Peak Red Rock (GC2A7WK) today which has not had a found it log since 01/27/2011. That's 413 days.

Re: FOUND IT? POST IT!
Visited four caches today. Most of them have been found once or twice in the past year prior to me finding them but I made a killing on the points with them. The caches I found were as follows:
Over the Hill and Far Away
SunaSnataS
Devil's Backbone
Mount Comdex
In total after logging the finds I got 266 points off these four caches using the 100 points per year calculations.

Re: FOUND IT? POST IT!
WOW!!!
Impressive!
I have gotten all of those caches also and actually helped place Satan's Anus on the same day! Made the puzzle too.
I won't log it though-kinda strange, I know, considering the accepted caching ethics in southern Nevada
Great Job mojave_rattler!!!

Kudos and congratulations to railroader921 (accompanied by Camminatore AFK, Cache MACS, and MarshallOD) for finding GCGYKK: Peak above Utah Jean (Formerly Holy Crap) yesterday! In its 8 years resting above Farmington, Utah at 7600 ft elevation, only 5 cachers had visited it, last official Found It log September 2007. At last update on DGP it was worth 160 CPs (should be 172). Its 4 new visitors make it worth 95 â‚§. Great find, Danny!

So yesterday, Redfist, Azcampbell, and I had a hot grueling day battling monkeys. We ended up at Forbidden Zone - The Mug of the Monkey. The last (only) time it was found was Nov 14, 2010. It's great to get that monkey off my back 
Re: FOUND IT? POST IT!
Thats cool! Corfman Clan, Redfist and Azcampbell, you guys are awesome!

Headed way out on the Az Strip to work on a water project with AZG&F and ADBSS. Took the Navajo Trail and picked up 5 caches that had a last log of 10/2010. These 5 were part of a 19 cache day and an 10 hour drive, 4 on pavement and 7 on dirt and rock. Project and caching went well only 2 rattlers and they moved away on their own.
Times Fun when your having Flies!

Re: FOUND IT? POST IT!
I found another puzzle (Not Just For Geeks) recently that had gone for a while without a visitor, but unlike Monkey Mug (mentioned above) this one has had a ton of visitors (~65) in the past. It was first found on 7/14/2004.
I found it on 4/17/2012. The previous find was on 3/30/2011. My only guess is that all who wanted it had already found it. Then some idiot who didn't mind driving 40 miles for a single cache showed up with no good reason.

Re: FOUND IT? POST IT!
Congrats on the Monkey! and the other one nearby!
I had a few cool one yesterday (on my birthday!)
http://coord.info/GC16112 - had not been found since 10/13/2010 and, including my find, only has 8 logs since 9/18/2007
Also grabbed a FTF in a different city (that sat for almost 2 months down in the puzzle capital of AZ) http://coord.info/GC1TK1X
Oh yeah-also grabbed a total of 10 "?" caches yesterday too! That's like my 9th time for 10 or more in a day.
It also made 38 "?" finds for my long weekend and 61 for the month of April!

Re: FOUND IT? POST IT!
When I came back home from Southern Utah, I noticed this one, http://coord.info/GC31HYK, still hadn't been found. I was itching for a trip to the Northern Utah desert.So I called the cache owner and away we went. Had a blast. Nice long jeep ride, good company and the desert.......Priceless. We also placed a confluence cache at 42 113.

Took a little ATV ride with ETrunner to get 2 FTF's out a Mantua Ut, grabbed this little jewel while out. http://coord.info/GC216T6. had to splash through some mud and a little snow but it was gettin way lonely.
it had not been found for 19 months, go figure, its near a heavily used ATV trail in Summer time.

Re: FOUND IT? POST IT!
I was wondering when somebody was going to go grab that one (I actually figured it would be you). Congrats! Looks like a neat place. I definitely need to get out to eastern Box Elder for some of those desert hides, but the Missus is convinced there's a rattlesnake hiding in every sagebrush bush and under every rock and won't entertain the idea. I noticed on the cache page Desert Dawg wrote a placeholder for LCP stats, once those become available... Hopefully not too long!the greenskeeper wrote:When I came back home from Southern Utah, I noticed this one, http://coord.info/GC31HYK, still hadn't been found.

And this one's only 8½ miles from my house!

Re: FOUND IT? POST IT!
I had a good week. Thursday I found Basset Peak (GCHPXV) which hadn't been found in 2 1/2 years. This is in a remote area but there is a trail to within 300 feet of the cache.
On Friday I found Winchester (GCR8M7) which was last found 37 months ago and also Stink Pig Peak (GCZCKN) last found 17 months ago. I hoped to make another find Arches (GC158ZB) which hasn't been found since March 2009 but I ran out of energy and time. These were all off trail adventures.
On Tuesday I also got a not so lonely virtual (Mount Wrightson: Baldy Summit GCC2C1) which requires 4000 vertical feet over 5 miles.

Re: FOUND IT? POST IT!
Found Bridge Mountain Summit (GCJ167) today. Prier to today it had not had a Fount It log in 680 days or about a month and a half short of 2 full years. The hike was much easier than I origonaly thought too. It's a hike that I would be willing to do again and again and again. I definetly made sure I gave this cache a favorite point even though it was a bit of a pain in the ass to find once I got to the peak.
With this find I also became only the third person to find all of the active caches placed my the cache owner ic_nevadamike.

Re: FOUND IT? POST IT!
Last Sunday, I had a very enjoyable hike up the Horton Springs trail and I found Horton Springs Oreo. The last time it was found was just two days shy of a year ago. What a great area!
Re: FOUND IT? POST IT!
Congrats on the Winchester area finds. I remember that day quite clearly, especially the large amount of bear scat that I saw in the area. Luckily I had to fight through so much brush that they could hear me coming from quite a distance!
