Evidently we need more features on our website if you have time to go out geocaching! 😀 😀 😀 (just kidding)

Congratulations!

Chaumer and I spent a month in Canada last year for his company and we looked into getting our passports before we went and it was going to take something like 6 to 8 weeks to get them. We only found out about the trip 3 weeks before we went so it didn’t pay for us to get them. But if you are planning on getting a passport check into how long it will take to get it before you leave.

In the past, you could head down south of the border to Chicago and get a passport in one day. Don’t know if that holds true today (post 9/11).

At this time, my schedule looks pretty open.

I should be there for at least part of the day. Maybe I can recycle some of the sneakyness I put out at Bong. 😈

The classroom portion is being held at the Ice Age Center (N43 38.542 W88 11.436). The temp cache hunting will all be within a 1/2 miles radius of the center. There is also a permanent geocache close by.

I’m still looking for a few good cachers to help out.

Somebody?

Anybody?

I thought we got kicked out of high cliff park. Didn’t we have all our caches located there archived a few months back.

If I’m not mistaken (which means I don’t completely remember), I thought the only caches that were archived were ones that didn’t have permission from the park staff, or were in a now “off lmits” area, like the cemetary.

Pink…

I’ll be there with a laptop, the WGA banner, and the eggplant downloader thingey-gadget.

The DNR sent us a thank you….

In case the scanned image doesn’t come through very well..

Dear Brian & WGA memberes,

Thank you so much for your excellent geocaching presentation. I so appreciated all the time you put into the evening.

How wonderful to be able to offer that to our visitors. I know I & they enjoyed it.

Thanks for introducing us to geocaching in such a fun way.

At the request of the DNR, I wrote copy, provided photos and emailed it all to them after we met with them last year. I don’t know if they simply forgot or what. ❓ ❓

It would appear that the geocaching project has gotten shuffled around a little bit over at the DNR. If you still have the info, maybe you could re-send?

Who’s baby is cuter? 😉

Great Job!

Please send the new final co-ords to my admin e-mail address. If you ahve the intermediate waypoint, I’ll take that too. That way we can keep other caches from encroaching.

Thanks for doing this.

All reviewers cover the entire state.

We split up the time spent reviewing, not the geography.

Send me an e-mail and I’ll see if I can help.

Just a friendly word of caution…..

From the guidelines at geocaching.com…

Event Caches

Event caches are gatherings that are open to all geocachers and which are organized by geocachers. After the event has passed, the event cache should be archived by the organizer within four weeks. While a music concert, a garage sale, a ham radio field day or town’s fireworks display might be of interest to a large percentage of geocachers, such events are not suitable for submission as event caches because the organizers and the primary attendees are not geocachers. In addition, an event cache should not be set up for the sole purpose of drawing together cachers for an organized hunt of another cache or caches. Such group hunts are best organized using the forums or an email distribution list.

The best way to handle this, is to have a “Meet & Greet from say 8 to 10 AM, then mention that afterwards, you are going to tackle “Three Bad Ribs”.

Oh, that’s all well-and-good….. but… what happens the first time you loose your footing, and go tumbling down into that murky creek?

When geocaching I carry an inexpensive ($85) digital camera, and have been able to get some pretty good pics with it.

I sometimes also carry a portable tripod… folded up, it is just slightly smaller in length than my GPSR, and about as big around as a 35mm film canister.

I got my last pocket query on 6/10, and it was a “.zip” extension. Don’t really know what’s up.
