Just read the Groundspeak blog about their new geocacher of the month award. They’ll be giving out the first award at their August block party.

We can think of a few Wisconsin cachers who would be worthy of such a nomination. Curiously, who would you nominate and why?

There was something here a while back about a geocaching hall of fame. I wasn’t fond of that proposal, and I’m not fond of this one. There are way too many geocachers I know of who fit the bill just in Wisconsin alone. There is no way that any one cacher out of five million worldwide can be singled out each month for this or any kind of an honor.

Geocaching is a game, not a contest. There are no winners and there are no losers. While this appears to be honoring those who uphold to the nth degree the ideal standards of geocaching, it is still a contest. Bad idea, IMO.

I would not nominate any one geocacher, nor would I vote for any one geocacher.

Ditto that Ditto.
I think this is an idea in bad taste.

Cacher of the Month? I totally disagree, so “Ditto” with everyone else.

If I were to nominate someone it would be our WI reviewers. I think they do an excellent job of monitoring the entire state and trying to keep everything in order.

😆 😆 😆

That’s for Useless-Drivel-Poster-of-the-Month, TBC. For the year, too. And for the lifetime achievement award.
(But it’s not about the numbers… 😉 )

I missed this part in the announcement before: “Geocacher of the Month hat“. Maybe I’ll change my mind! 😉

If nominated I will not run, if elected, I shall not serve.
