Geocaching.com Down?

[Trekkin and Birdin]

It’s frustrating, but it just gives us an opportunity to re-visit some of our BC interests, LOL. You know……you can hike in the woods with a pair of binoculars and don’t even have to look for a cache? It’s true!

Plus, I have this baby afghan that needs to be finished pronto!

I saw an awesome Wisconsin birding book yesterday….I so wanted to buy it….but alas I had to buy dress clothes instead….(but the new clothes really don’t go with my yellow hat). As a further aside I tore my shirt pretty good attempting a cache on the way to the store so there I was trying on sportcoats in a ripped t-shirt…what a smuck. But on the plus side I can now tell the difference between a Sandhill Crane and a Great Blue Heron. Where was I, oh other things to do….I guess there are some.

As of this post, not working again. Good thing my PQ’s came in the e-mail this morning. Running them through GSAK then going to Iron Mountain to hit a few caches there that I DNF’ed last time I was there.

Finally gonna end my geo-slump today (been 7 days now – lol)

Anyone getting their notifications or PQ’s from GC.Com? I have not gotten notifications or PQ’s since Monday and I use Roadrunner e-mail.

[Mister Greenthumb]

No problems here.

[Todd300]

Well, I set up a gmail account and have one notification sent to it to see what happens. I have Door County in my radius and it’s an active area, so we’ll see what happens.

‘Shore ’nuff, the gmail account works. Right after I set up notifications to my gmail account, it appeared right away. I wonder if Road Runner blocked the notifications.

Now it’s down.

It’s definitely down. Looks like reviewing may be done for the evening (sorry folks!)

From the grounspeak forums

On Wednesday August 12th, 2009 at 8:00 PM Pacific Time (GMT -7), we’ll be applying some software updates to our core network switches to isolate and solve a stability issue. During this time, all Groundspeak web sites and services will be off line.

While we’re not anticipating any issues, this maintenance could take up to 2 hours.

Thanks,

I was having the same problems with my Road Runner e-mail account. GC.com indicated the PQ was sent to me at 12:08am (PST) this morning but no PQ was in my inbox. I tried sending another PQ to my wife’s Road Runner e-mail account and ran into the same problem. After reading your thread, I set up a free gmail account and my PQ showed up within a few minutes.

Thanks for posting your experience for the benefit of the WGA community!!
