Marc, I’m disappointed in you. The other thread was closed for a reason so you had to stir things up in a new thread. C’mon, you are better than that.

Helidood is new to caching in general. I think he got it when he requested the thread to be closed…but no, you had to be beating a dead horse.

I wanted to speak my two cents worth!

I’ve never seen that. Or if I have, it’s been very seldom.

Come on, guys. Inside jokes are the pits to new people here.

OK, Helidood and others… Cacher seldom|seen in the Appleton area has put out lots of caches, including lots of puzzle caches. He has a bit of a reputation of sometimes publishing before all the kinks are worked out, and he often uses the early finders (aka guinea pigs) to help him tweak the caches into more user-friendly versions. Many times it’s just the coordinates that are considered not too reliable. But the caches of seldom|seen, and many times his containers, are some of the best you’d want to see in caching.

Oh, yeah, and for newbies? Marc is a rabble rouser, best to be ignored when pontificating. 🙄 Don’t rise to the bait.

Well ya, that’s why I cut out all the first part of labrat’s quote just to focus on the guinea pig part.

Tough crowd! But I’ll be here all week. Try the fish.

On the Left Side of the Road...

BTW we placeds a cache in south central WI one sunday, came back to Appleton and submitted it, WGA3 approved it and it was found the same evening in a snow storm.
