    Sure, I can give some pointers to get you started. Saturday afternoon might be the best time to try this — in case the weather is cool. Right now the forecast says a high of 71.

    We should have a campfire cooking contest for Friday night. I’d be glad to be one of the judges 🙂

    Good. That might lead to a little less mean harmonica playing. 😀

    in reply to: PSA-Ticks are out! #1873253

    Here’s an email I received that you may want to pass along to family and friends:


    Please heed this warning. It could happen to you.

    TICK WARNING!

    I hate it when people forward bogus warnings, and I have even done it
    myself a couple times unintentionally…
    but this one is real, and it’s important. So please send this warning
    to everyone on your e- mail list.

    If someone comes to your front door saying they are checking for
    ticks due to the warm weather and asks you to take your clothes off and
    dance around with your arms up, DO NOT DO IT!! THIS IS A SCAM!!
    They only want to see you naked.

    I wish I’d gotten this yesterday. I feel so stupid.

    I don’t think there will be a long line waiting to test drive a kayak, so any who want to try should be able to fulfill their lifelong dreams. 😀

    in reply to: WGA LOGO..is it missing or is it my puter??? #1873797

    I get the same thing on my geocache pages — no WGA logo.

    what is your thought is this to many in one area

    Since you asked… yes, it’s too many. A cache should be a reason to let someone discover a cool location. One cache on a 2-mile stretch of bike trail can do that.[/quote]

    you need to review a little before you bark

    one cache is parking
    an old school
    tunnel
    beaver dam
    benchmark
    trail head
    where train killed one
    where train went into the river killed 3
    ghost
    small town history
    thees are not the names of the caches but what there about

    do all of thees sound boring along a bike trail

    Did I bark? All I did was answer (in a courteous way, I might add) your question. If you don’t want to hear answers that don’t agree with your opinion, don’t ask for other people’s opinions.[/quote]

    shrek & fiona along with chris2537
    we placed 6 caches within 2 miles on the bike trail
    I got a note from the approver that this was to many caches in one area
    If i was out for a bike ride I would like to make my trip worth the ride not one cache for every 10 miles
    I was also told to make these multi rather than single caches

    in reply to: Announcing the 2007 Geo Campout T-shirt Logo #1873192

    Very nice. Nicely styled, creative and it makes good use of the “required” elements. Put it on a grey T and I’ll buy one. 🙂

    Does residency really matter in determining what you are a member of? Think about it for a moment. The Sierra Club, the Democratic party, Geocaching.Com, The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM), Yahoo.Com, NAACP, citizenship in a particular country, etc.

    These are not state organizations. Sierra Club has regional chapters based on your home address. The Democratic Party has residency requirements for voting in primary elections.

    The most important reason for a WGA residency requirement, as others have alluded, is so that government officials know we represent Wisconsin residents, who are — for the most part — the people who pay their salaries through property and income taxes and we elect the respresentatives who control the government budgets.

    Another good reason is that a group of non-Wisconsin residents with voting powers could conceiveably (although I don’t know why they would) become a majority, vote to disband our organization, and disperse whatever funds are in the treasury.

    Upon further review… the concert that weekend is Sunday evening instead of Saturday, so it looks like I’m good for both nights of the campout.

    in reply to: Don’t want to cause a large stir but… #1769908

    Remember the old Milwaukee Brewers M-glove logo? It’s interesting how the old “retro” logo is now the most popular. Our current WGA logo, while kind of crude and outdated, has a certain nostalgia factor, don’t you think?

    in reply to: T-Shirt Design (Ideas Needed!) #1871421

    Bec,
    I like it!
    You know what they say, if it ain’t broke… 🙂
    But seriously, we need a new design.

    I don’t know all the particulars about this cache, but as someone who owns virtual caches and used to own some of the now-banned locationless caches, I understand what it’s like to have geocachers ignore requirements for claiming a find. Sure, it’s just a game, but if you’re not willing to play by the rules, why play it?
