I don't know how many posts it takes, goldenbadger, but I've been here a long time and contributed to a few tree-builder threads in the past :). Thanks, everybody - I've been called a lot of things, but never been called a pine cone before.

If there is such a thing as a perfect board member, that would be Boonie. Always helpful going the extra mile, always supportive, causes no friction. Congrats my virtual friend!

..and now for one of my favorite graphics - I didn't create this, I think one of our wonderful mods did. I like it because it keeps me humble :) .... and well done as well to Boonie!!

Congratulations & thanks for all the help! I'm planning another solo this fall and think I can make a 5 day trip. I have two trip reports i want to get posted, but seems like there is always something else to do. Again thanks for your contributions.

Congrats, I've wondered what the criteria was for 2,3,4,5 trees still don't know but I know there's not enough years for me to reach what you have accomplished. If anyone can explain the different levels I would like to know, just FMI.

Going into the deep woods is always an adventure, full of humor, drama and normally someone's blood, at least when you go with me!

It goes generally like this:

10 for 1 tree
50 for 2
70 for 3
100 for 4
500 for 5
4000 for a bear claw
10,000 for a pine cone

The counts may be off a bit but that's the general scheme of it...I think.
