Actually … I’m not trying to promote Ron … just promoting geocaching and killing bad weeds. Sorry, Tami, I’m in a silly mood today.

Not fair! You people are more sneaky than me. Maybe it would have to be a real loooooooooong cache, that counts as two caches, one set of coordinates at each end of a 17 mile long piece of PVC. Step One … geo – fundraiser.
I popped in the coordinates of the airport (N41 58.731 W87 54.184), and I find these caches within 5 miles of the joint. I don’t think geocaches are really popular when hidden on airport property. But the first one is about 0.2 miles away, the rest are over 2 miles.

BIG BEND CRATER by Squonkpups (GCHYYT)For those that might be helped with an example. Check out these two screen shots, from one of my caches.
This first one shows one of my cache listings, with the WGA “linked” logo circled in blue at the end of the page text …
This second one shows the same cache, after I hit the [Edit Listing] button. Note the red circle, showing that the box is checked that “activates” the use of HTML code. Then the green box, is marking the actually HTML code that I copied from the “Help Spread the Word” page of the WGA website and pasted at the end of my cache text …
I also did some “optional” things that are more to my liking. Such as using an “align” code to line up the logo with the text on center. I also threw in a
command to break to a new paragraph before the logo. But both of these things were just extra stuff I wanted to do.

I hope you all know I’m kidding about Hwys that spell out their team name!
You are all so helpful … I can’t tell if your play along or really trying to find a spot for me.
In reality, I’m planning something entirely different .. I hope they’ll slow down enough, to at least give me to fall
Wish your TB all the best of luck!
If I see it in any of my caches in Ozaukee County, I will move it west as far as I can to avoid it skimming across the lake to MI.I’m trying to find a place where a Hwy JJ and a Jwy J and a Hwy A meet up, to place a TB hotel. So far I’ve found Hwy A. Boy, this is going to be hard.

Cache page coming to gc.com soon(sorry, I couldn’t get the march date)
So what exactly does “soon” mean? I need to print this thing off and hide it in my wife’s sock drawer, so she knows what we’re doing on our anniversary.
I don’t have much of an opinion about the deer hunting … but I’m ok about them charging those doctors more for fishing!
Better to be bitter, than like me … tasteless.
??? Yippy Skippy ??? That’s a new one for me.
Will have to see if that will work for our team. Since it happens to be our Wedding Anniversary … yet also the 1 yr anniversary of our starting geocaching, since we started while staying at a B&B in Horicon ( http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?LUID=b0520ef4-2530-4124-aecb-b02f110338e0 )
We’ve gone as far as to purchase a “guest GPSr” a few months back. Just a cheap unit (no road maps). When we are out there alone, we let the kids take turns steering the way with it.

Excellent job on the information charts!
My work involves a state program, you could just about overlay the same state map for particpation. There’s nothing mysterious about particiption or lack there of in the WGA; I suspect its typical of most things going on in the state. We struggle at the office daily on getting the attention of business and individuals in the less densily populated areas of the state.
At the same time, it is good to see board members representing the clusters of the more active members.

Don’t you dare make people think I’m good at math … that’s a fib!
368 votes / 5 per person = 73.6
(52 weeks in a year x 2) + 7 day week = 111
73.6 x 111% = 82 voters
Isn’t that how everyone does it!?!?Here’s the numbers from another posting on the subject:
Brian Jansen 62 (17%)
John Carvin 47 (13%)
Ray Handley 47 (13%)
Ruth Holliday 43 (12%)
Jeff Rahmlow 32 (9%)
William Pulvermacher 31 (8%)
Bob Rathbone 30 (8%)
Bob Wheeler 28 (8%)
Randall Paske 25 (7%)
Steve Bukosky 23 (6%)In theory … that’s about 73 or so people voting. I’m glad to see the number is much higher than a typical “cache of the month vote” (as I mentioned it would be, in a prior topic posting). Yes these numbers are still low … but when you glance at the names that post topic messages, I’d say that it fairly represents the “actively” participants in the WGA website.
