    Since I am snowed in today, I want to bring this thread from FB to this forum. It has been suggested that it would a good idea to increase the size of the LCG from 500 to 1000.

    I am in favor of this increase, if it can be done by the game admins without a lot of trouble.

    Thanks,

    zuma

    It’s a good idea, but the increase would most likely still be in NW Wisconsin. A 500/500 north/south split might work, if the LCG admin could handle the extra work.

    I spend (too much?) time looking at the LCG list. So many of them are either in the NW, not winter friendly, or most likely missing. The closest several to me are multis that have had missing stages/finals reported years ago but nothing has been done to either archive (gasp) or maintain (!) them.

    I am not opposed to getting more on the list, but I’m wondering if that would really change the composition of the list.

    Not sure the split could be done easily, but I could see a large discrepancy build up quickly between the time frame for caches to qualify in the north compared to in the south. The same caches would be lonely in the north while the numbers in the south would turn over quickly and the “lonely” caches wouldn’t be very lonely.

    The closest 2 to me require scuba gear, not sure if those will be found any time soon, plus one clearly indicates that the cache was missing the last time it was “found” but because the CO was with the divers, they counted it as a find. Not complaining about that as a find, but I’m wondering if that 5/5 is really there.

    I may as well plus this cache, if someone wants to find a really lonely cache. I had plans to go to find it multiple times when we lived in Oregon, but always had to cancel. It was just over 60 miles as the crow flies from our old house (over 100 driving miles, but still not bad for out there). Self promotion, never solved in 4 years.

    The best sig is no sig.

    I agree with the problems on the split.
