I'll take a lamp post over a locust tree any day. Last year I accidently jammed a honey locust thorn into my head. The thorn broke off and I had to go to urgent care center to have the remaining 5/8" thorn removed. That find was the most expensive cache to date. Plus, I'm no longer concerned about cutting my hand on a rusty lamp post because I got a tetanus booster shot during that visit.

I've never done a benchmark, but would like to find at least two of them. That would give me one more find than my father-in-law.

I prefer Earthcaches over Benchmarks!

Next time you are in Henry county, you can do the two easiest Bechmarks available. The Henry County Courthouse is a BM, and so is the Liberty Center water tower.
Of course there are the state line posts that are about every mile or so along the border with Michigan. I am sure you have seen them, there are caches at about half of them...

1. Ammo can
2. GPSr
3. Traditional
4. Lamp post
5. Paper or Paperless - depends, normally paperless, but for field puzzles definitely prefer paper
6. Group caching or Solo caching - either way
7. Coins or Travel bugs - neither, I usually loose them
8. Multi or Puzzle/Unknown - Tough call - generally puzzles, but I love a good multi
9. Clever hide
10. Earthcache, since I never think to look up benchmarks (I'm only 30 or 40 behind on logging the latter)
