Response to the responses thus far… Yeah, I agree with all mentioned above… If you remember way back when we got started in all this it was 2002 and things were WAY different.. However one underlying tone was that “you play the game the way you want” and that still remains.. I’m not trying to point fingers at all here.. I still believe it’s your game…do as you wish..

Thanks for the clarification on the multi logs being a part of WGA picnic…makes sense to me.. And, yeah, that’s the way we did the temp caches back then… Am I to understand there are no temps at campouts anymore?? Gosh, I’m remembering going out early to hide quite a few of them!!

Always had a ball and it feels good to be back out cachin again.. Hope to meet up on the trails real soon…and Mr. Greenthumb why wait ’til September?? Hope to meet up with you again real soon too!!

BTW… I’d love to get a few more of those “long hike” multi’s out there again!! 🙂

We’ll be in site #268 at the Twin Valley Campsites… Stop in and say HI!!

[Flushingrouse]

Hot Chocolate will be ready same as usual… You know when to show up!! Just a bit before the rest of the world starts to stir.. Nothing better than sharing a mug with a friend at that time of day!!! We’ll be in site 268 Twin Valley Camp….

While you were busy playing a bit of ball today, got to have a nice chat with Anne. Can’t wait to get back to the area for some great hikes.

Hey, Anne said she had a good time talking to you guys!! I was the pitcher and couldn’t just leave those kids without one so, I stayed…. Otherwise, I’d have been there too… I’m sure we’ll run into each other soon enough…

Happy Cachin’ !!!

[Flushingrouse]

Here’s to the gang going to the camp-out this time around. Sorry to say Anne and I will not be able to attend but our thoughts are with you… Hopefully the weather holds and all have a fun and safe time… We certainly don’t intend on making a habit of this not being able to make it mumbo-jumbo!!

Anyhow, have a great time friends!!!

Probably some “locals” having some fun sending some kind of secret messages….

Or,

Could be one of these…. Number Stations

Better watch yourselves in the woods… If you run into Bond, get me his autograph… 🙂

Congrats to all the new and returning WGA BOD! Here’s to another great year and best wishes from Team Flushingrouse.. See you on the trails!!!

Third, I have to say that rabble rousing in general can be a good thing. After all the signers of the Declaration of Independence were really nothing but rabble rousers. When rabble rousing is not a good thing is when it is done without a purpose to improve things. It is much easier to critizise others than it is to do something positive yourself. Iif you want to improve the world, ya gotta do more than just bitch and whine about other people, and hope someone makes a minor faux pas that you can make fun of. To me, that is just a very weird way of getting one’s jollies, and really does not contribute much of worth.

Well Put!!!

Oh WAIT….Still have ONE thing to ask though…… when I put in the hint, does it encrypt or do I have to encrypt it????

Fu,

I think you still have to encrypt the hint… For a little help in doing this, Tie pointed me to an on-line encrypter/decrypter at:

Works pretty nice! Good Luck!!

a less temps picnic wouldn’t be all bad. In other words why have 30 hides out there when doing all of them would mean you’d have no time for socializing. Personally I’d rather see half as many (or less) at the next event. That being said, I’d love to see each of them being unique as well.

Well put! This was something that was brought up in the planning of the last picnic. But, you know how it is… Once we got the ball rolling…..

So, maybe 10 temps? All 5 star quality would be better…? I think people would be coming and going to HQ at more of a leisurely pace.. Maybe enjoying themselves a bit more to boot…??

Sounds good… Keep ’em coming…

Jeff,

I support the idea of purely social events sponsored by the WGA. However, I don’t believe that there would be much support for making the camp/picnic events free of temp caches.

Being newer to the BOD One year plus, I don’t have a lot of experience to draw from but I’d like to say I’ve had a ball helping to plan events, hide temps, etc… What I’m trying to say is that those activities, for me, are still fun. I’ve enjoyed what we’ve done. I had a ball filling a different position for this past picnic. Doing uploads allowed me to meet quite a few more people than normal, and was a lot of fun:)

I’m long past “needing a caching fix”… I’m more the “It’s about the journey” kind of guy now..

What if we polled the group and asked how much interest there would be in a temp-less picnic? There would still be some planning/coordination necessary and I’d hate to see the effort go to waste..

So, go ahead folks, chime in and add your thoughts….. I wouldn’t want to see the campout/picnic change… Maybe something else gets added eventually…??

My $.02 knee jerk reaction…
