Question:  a non-premium member cacher picked up my TB and has notified me that she placed it in a premium member cache (she didn’t explain the situation of HOW she did that, but I presume there are ways).  So she can’t log it in, but we know where it is.  Can I grab it and check it into the cache where she placed it for her? Or do I need to just ride it out?

I’ve picked them up, I found them all

I walked the trails from wall to wall

I wrote them up and had a ball!

What else to do?  Who should I call?

Maybe the one to call is Paul?

Paul would know.  Paul knows all.

 

One note, two notes, three notes, four

Five notes logged, how many more?

I wrote them all, Oh what a chore.

And now my fingers, they are sore.

I want to sleep down on the floor

Gosh, I hope I do not snore

 

I should be done now, Is there any more? 😛 😀

I don’t mind playing.  My main concern was that I needed to do some rescues for a challenge cache I’m working on.  I was concerned that the evidence of my executing the rescue disappeared.  When I logged them in on the cache rescue page, I thought I saw them move to the “Completed” section.  I may have been mistaken, as they aren’t there anymore … even though the one I didn’t get to (Fun is Good – completed by Dreamcatchr) is listed under the “complete” section.

Aha!  Now I see.  I didn’t realize I needed to log these as part of the LCG.  I thought the cache rescue was a separate entity.  (Newbies! …. geesh! [8o][:D]).  Thanks for the input.

Something is amiss.  I did a few cache rescues in Early September on the Dr. Seuss hides in Pike Lake, but I don’t appear to have gotten credit for them, but they no longer appear on the lists as either active or complete.  Were those lost in the “fix”? Or am I looking in the wrong area?

[furryhermit]

Never mind …. I found it 😛

Awesome!  Thanks for allowing the permission.  My racer has been passed on to the “courier” and it should be there in time. How do we get the password to finish registering on the tb-run.com website?  Is that sent out to the participants when the race starts?

[furryhermit]

Silly question … is it possible to join the race even if you can’t make the picnic?  We just can’t break away to get up that far this year.  Does the TB need to start out from the picnic grounds? I might be able to send up the travel bug and the $3.00 with someone who’s coming up there from the SE WI area.

There was a cache I ran into down in South Carolina described as a “wormhole TB motel”.  Somehow the CO was coordinating transport of travel bugs between this cache and one in New York state. See http://coord.info/GC3PP5K.   You could extend this idea a bit and set up a cache with an “in” box and “out” box.  Lock the “in” box (making a hole for drop offs only) for those that are leaving and need to be transport, and leave the “out” box accessible for those that are being delivered and may be picked up.   Depending how often the “transport” travels I65, this might be something worth trying.

Wow, we had a new type of geocaching experience tonight! While Kim was driving home from Green Bay to Milwaukee, a MGT&SS old silo cache was published. Kim’s phone alerted her that a cache on the way home was just published near Saukville, so she called me at home and I stayed with her on the phone to navigate from 25 miles away until she reached the cache without the use of a GPS unit. I looked at Google Maps to find and then describe to her the geobeacon, and she had no problem driving to and making the find. She made the find 28 minutes after it was published. Thanks Mr. Greenthumb & Sunshine for a memorable first-of-a-kind caching experience for us!

I remember finding one like that with my wife a number of years ago.  It was an HDD cache in Germantown.  When it posted, I was stuck at home with two sleeping kids, but my wife happened to be coming home from work in Tosa.  I talked her through to the general location from Google maps.  When she got there, there were footprints in the snow leading right up to the cache. Luckily they were only the COs footprints.  I think that was her first FTF too.

The WRR 52 – Blue Goose is within my range. I could take that one if no one else steps up for it. Let me know what I need to do.
