I would guess they are going to use the 10 yr icon for them.

I thought they were just encouraging everyone to go caching on 10-10-10, find a cache, and log a cache, so that they could reach a record high number of cachers logging on the same date. 10-10-10 events started popping up as a way to celebrate the unique date and for people to get out and cache on that date. I don’t think they were supposed to be special events with special icons like the ones in May were.

No one has to go to a 10-10-10 event to participate in caching on 10-10-10, just find and log a cache somewhere near where you are on that date.

Well, I was born XX years ago on this date. So I’ll probably be eating cake. Preferably carrot cake. Maybe caching, maybe not!

Nope, not Roman, LOL. And nope, no puzzle cache. That would cause me to reveal my secrets!

I believe that’s also that Viking Qb’s (what’s his name) bday (and my father-in-laws) so we’ll be eating cake as well in someone’s honor….. 🙂

I’m in a tizzy as to which Flash event to get to??? Closer one is Hartford… though the crazy hat in Manitowoc sounds like fun.

A little short notice, but Mrs. TBC decided we should host a 10/10/10 event in Wausau. She wrote it up today and it should be published soon.

Looks like there’s still a little time to get an Earthcache published, so I better get crakin.

I just visited the International Earthcache day page to discover a list of the Top 10 worldwide earthcaches culled from a list of over 6000 around the glove. Imagine my surprise to discover that 4, yes 4, of the top 10 were by the same cacher. 4 out of 10, worldwide? Seriously?

I’m not arguing that they are not great Earthcaches, but to represent the vast talent and variety of Erthcaches placed in the continental US with four caches from a single cacher just boggles my mind! There are many, many great Earthcaches out there just as good or better than those four, in fact I could list 10 in Wisconsin with just as much information and level of presentation as those.

I, as well as every other Earthcache developer in the US, should be more than a bit dismayed by this Top 10 list.

Having said that, I will continue to develop educational Earthcaches and celebrate the event on 10-10-10!
