From the:
Freeman article

[scientist] expects to do a field trial next winter – will involve placing devices in the wild that pinch hairs from passing animals.

Imagine the caches …
First waypoint: go north until something grabs your hair …

I’m still trying to figure out how and where this thing pinches.

[jthorson]

For my answer I want to split the question into
1.Temps are not worthy.
2.‘Attended’ doesn’t work.

After spending Sunday with 5 other teams in 95 degree heat making sure that the temps for the picnic are worthy makes that part of the argument void in my mind.

While there, I saw some of the work done for the Green Bay event, held the previous day and was similarly impressed. These caches are/will be just as huntable, fun and log-able as typical ‘approved’ caches.

Now the second part of the question. For a living I used to develop factory control software. We had to remember (but often forgot):

the software is there to serve the factory, the factory is not there to serve the software

Just because geocaching.com has an inadequate approach to this dilemma is not the fault of the geocaching community. It is a weakness of geocaching.com. ‘Attended’ is a work around for flawed software. This is just one of the weaknesses… don’t get me started on the others .

Assuming that nothing changes at geocaching.com to support ‘social caches’, ‘performance caches’, ‘temp caches’, whatever you want to call them, I vote to continue the work around at the discretion of the finder.

I had to use a can of fix-a-flat at a russell’s cache yesterday. I even mention it in my log.
Coincidence or something more….???

Another thought, they come slow now-a-days…. http://www.channel3000.com/index.html
is the website for the station. They seem to put videos online there… is that another source?

Actually a website in China already has it for sale, right next to the Star Wars movie.

But maybe a laptop could be setup in the shelter at the picnic with the media being played in a loop … autograph table nearby.

Heeding Bill’s (FlushingGrouse’s) warning of PI (Poison Ivy) I was doing some research on the topic.

Imagine my shock when I read this as the first line of a web page on PI:
Poison ivy is a member of the Cachew Family.

I did not have the opportunity to attend the Green Bay Challenge. But I did get to see the handout. First class stuff.

Today, and please dear God, for today only, caching was clothing optional.

Final moments of paperwork and data entry.

This one includes Dan of ‘really I’m not lost’ (far right)

A successful, fun day despite the heat.
About 37 caches were placed.
Congratulations Jeff.
It should be a great picnic.

Anybody bringing snacks, water?

I volunteer to fill gaps or start the contributions.
