I thought it was going to happen yesterday but no....only a mere 999. But today was the day when Patrick passed 1,000 finds! Great job by a great cacher and prolific cache hider. You've been a very welcome addition to the ranks of Maine geocachers from the very start, my friend. Congratulations on 1,000 finds. I'm willing to bet you smiled when you signed THAT log!!:D

Pat insisted that an attorney needed to in attendance for his 1000th find and I hereby certify that not only is he a clever-hiding-birchbark-look-again-you-fool-caching maniac, he's also our friend and this gentle man gives back more then he takes. Glad to be along for this special moment!:)

Patrick, I have enjoyed doing your caches and still have a number of them left to do one of these days. It's been a real pleasure to have been a long for a few of your finds and to attended a few events together. Congratulations on a big achievement.

Congratulations my friend!! I know from conversations we have had that you remember most if not all of your finds. I am sure some have been BRUTAL (http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=ae1152fb-661f-4d18-9241-97c5ffddc3ee) and some have been those nice and easy G. R. C. (http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=c992c6d3-b4ca-4523-9a60-999282280086) I know that as a seeker of your hides many have given me Fits And Giggles!

Thanks for all of your help and for all that you do for this game! I look forward to finding the twenty hides of yours I dont have and the new ones in the future!

Congratulations Patrick & Gail. We enjoy your caches, we have a lot left to find but we will get them. The creativity you put into your containers and cache pages makes them some of our favorites.
Thanks for all you do, There's no stopping you now.

I don't know how to go back and edit. That is hides not hards. Although some of them are hard hides, hmm.

Congratulations, Pat. One of your caches was my 300th find last fall and I really appreciate all the work you put into placing and maintaining all your caches.

I generally do not comment on milestones, but I wanted to say congrats and thank you Pat . . . your mix of easy caches, astonishly difficult caches, clever caches and caches in some truly beautiful places (i.e. the heron rookery) is why I so love geocaching . . . now all I have to do is find some more time to get down to Augusta to find more of your "hards." ;):D

WOW! Thanks to all!
Special thanks to my caching buddy and comic foil Dubord207, my cache finding role model Gob-Ler, my cache hiding role model Laughing Terry, my go-to Gal for all things geocaching, Hollora and to all my other geo-friends to numerous to mention here, who have helped me with encouragement, lifelines and laughs. Laughter is so important in life. It helps us all cope with the adversity that life brings us.I had to think a long time on my favorite cache. I have a lot of favorites. Some for the containers, some for the hide. But, I have enjoyed the longer hikes in the woods I have done all alone, the most. In the middle of the workweek. No one else on the trails.........peaceful......relaxing...Reflective time....So I will pick "The Mountain" in Belgrade/Rome as my favorite.
Also thanks to Brewmaine for turning me on to "You Gotta See this" I was going to do "Turkey Buzzard" for my 1000th cache but Daggett Rock looked like a better choice. BOY WAS IT EVER! This is a spectacular cache site!
Again thanks to all:):):):)

CACHE LONG AND PROSPER!
