Nice job on the 1000 club! Fun being a member, isn’t it? 🙂
We have grabbed 709 since last October. Most of them were memorable for one reason or another. 😯
When the territorial dispute is over, you can bring the bodies to the Land of Standing Stones. Always room for more in the WSQ’s!
Some of the kid’s bugs will be at the Fondy Fall Find ‘n Feast this next weekend. Hopefully they will scatter like leaves in the wind! If anyone is coming past Waupaca or Menasha, grab 1 and bring it along. Hope the kids are learning the 3 R’s, as well. 🙂
We have 10 more cemetery caches approved and on hold, to be published on October 10th, in conjunction with our Event Cache on the 11th. A few puzzles and a few direct hides. It really is amazing to see the variety of markers out there. Thanks, marc, for calling attention to them! (New flag colors?)
We have been “backwards caching” for the last 3 weeks. But they won’t be published until the evening of October 10th, in conjunction with our Event Cache on the 11th. Twenty-five permanent caches are approved and in place as of this posting. Thanks for noticing #900. 1K might happen before years end.
Maybe there is still hope at Belles Cache! I’ll check it out again soon.
Owning up to a mistake, and apologizing, is a sign of maturity, whether it be geocaching or life in general. You’ve atoned for your actions! How your apology is received is up to the rest of the cachers. If I were you, I would attend as many future events as possible. They can then put a name with a smile, and not just a face!
I have been in contact, by e-mail, with this cacher since his first interest in the game. I have queried his actions out of curiosity and will post a note here to settle the matter, one way or another. I personally have archived a cache in a park, after I found out that some undesirable visitors had picked that area for their new “gang” hangout. Terrain isn’t the only element of danger out there! Let’s wait for an explanation and see what we learn. And if we taught a new cacher a lesson early in the game, so be it…
The hurricane remnants may have altered the Monarch’s pattern this year. On Friday there were a few in the staging area, but they were very restless. Maybe next year! 🙁
While you be geo-chatting, we be geo-caching! FTF quests always require a cacher to “storm the walls”! If you hide them… we will find them! (But if we DNF, could we get our hand stamped for reentry?)
As of 9-1-08,The Red Baron’s Last Ride TB, launched in New Zealand in March ’05, is just shy of 50,000 miles! It is in cache GC1EAFB, St Cloud Park Cache. It has completed it’s mission and has been sent back out traveling. Not bad for 3 1/2 years. It is ref.#TBEF51.
We enjoy seeing where these TB’s have been, especially the pix. It helps us plan what caches to highlight on our roadtrips.
We sent a few out in spring, but the newbies don’t know how to log them… but that’s another subject.🙄 Visited “Belle’s Cache” today. No butterflies yet! We will keep you posted!
Night time cemetery caching has always concerned us. Maybe the Reviewers should make it mandatory to add this concern in the cache text, as well as the 24/7 icon being crossed out on attributes. A few will still try it, but they sure are missing some interesting history.
In regard to cache #GC1F45B, I got a good chuckle just reading the text! “… a wire nut container raped in duck tape”. I certainly don’t want to reach in that one.
I believe we found 50 or so before hiding our first one. My only advice is, when you place a cache, imagine 3 feet of snow on the ground. Placing a film canister under a rock on a dead end is not very winter-friendly! I know we have attributes for these, but some cachers disregard the icons for them. Do a little homework, ask other cachers for advice, ask the reviewer. They have a tough job as volunteers.
New cachers are always welcome, and they will learn from there mistakes just as we have! Unfortunately. learning curves vary from cacher to cacher! -
