Fredric's Early Geocaching Finds 6 Jun 2002 Found my 100th cache - Millstone Follies.  Held the rank of 2nd place in Massachusetts for a couple of weeks, but lost it as I shifted my focus to Rhode Island for the summer. 100 caches and over 900 photos!   Often the photo-documentation takes longer than the search.  It's easy to fall behind.  I'm taking a hiatus while I re-organize this website. Look for my Top 10 Lists to appear in the near future. 29 Apr 2002 I discovered location-less caches.  The objective is to find, photographic and document an object or place.
