So in all your babbling, you’re saying you know 9…is that right Jeremy?

Glad to hear that since you’re the webmaster! You should know all of them.

As for the US reps…I don’t vote for all of them, so…
I know I missed one of the WGA BOD…oops…I’ll do better next time.

Am I the only WGA member who found this comment unwarranted and just plain rude? Come on, members, don’t be intimidated by one person. Let’s hear more of you stand up for civility and respect among members and in the forums. I know I am now the next target, but so be it.

IMHO, there should be no concern that a new logo design is similar to something else out there, unless the other one is for a geocaching organization in or near Wisconsin.

Thanks for your positive efforts, Cheesehead Dave.

JLT, are you saying a pace is one step or two steps? I think I see both claims in your post.

(And furthermore, you actually trust Wikipedia? 🙂 )

Of course, everyone’s pace is different, plus, more importantly, there is disagreement whether a pace is 1 step or 2 steps.

There is? I never heard of a pace being considered two steps. 30 to 36 inches is the generally accepted equivalent distance.

Anyway, I’ve done a number of geocaches that requied me to step off paces. Just allow for a margin of error and good luck!

It’s not bad, but before everyone goes too nuts, if the “board” is going to vote on changing the logo, I think TWO things should happen first.

1. They should realize that it’s not just their decision whether or not it should be changed. That decision belongs to the body of membership.

2. If there will be a new logo chosen, the ENTIRE membership should be allowed to design one. Then the designs should be opened up for a vote.

1. Actually, it IS their decision. They are our elected decision-making body.
2. I agree. But again, opening it up to to the entire member is also up to the board.

My favorite so far is Dave’s “Stealth of Cachers”.

I mentioned this thread to my son and wife today, here is thier response.

Wife: A caravan of cachers (once again, we’d probably have to pay Diamler Chrysler to use it though) 😆

TyeDyeSkyKid said: “A Glop of Cachers” and “A Plop of Cachers” Hey, he’s 7. I’m not sure he gets it.

Hey, I like those. I think he “gets it” better than the rest of us. 🙂

I like it too. My only recommendation is to make the outline of the state bolder. It seems frail and out of balance with the boldness of the WGA letters, and may disappear in some small applications.

Before the WGA holds another fundraiser, I think there should be some indication from the board what the money will be used for. At the summer picnic, the treasurer’s report indicated we have several thousand dollars in the till. As a non-profit organization, we shouldn’t keep raising money if we don’t have a purpose in mind to spend it on. Just my 2 cents. BTW, I think the board is doing a great job. They all seem to be very dedicated to the sport and the organization.

I know the original question was about accidentally finding a geocache, but I have to agree that no matter how you find it is cool. Here’s my example of finding without using a GPS:

Interesting story. I had to search the site to find out where this took place. Finally found a clue that it’s in Ohio.

I like the idea of night caches only at the campout. The rest of the weekend is for socializing and informal non-geocaching activites (biking, hiking, paddling, horseshoes, board games, pancakes?).

Then for the picnic, temp caches up the wazoo.

Hey! Bald is beautiful, not embarrasing. 8)

Too bad about your cache (Salute to Stute was/is one of my all-time favorites), but I had to chuckle over the photos. That poor little blob of a TB looks like he’s seen better days.

Thanks for the blast from the past Ken. The article was worth reading over again just to see this now famous quote:

Sometimes I think aliens are messing with the satellites, playing Pong with me, and I am the ball,” Worske said. “This is driving me crazy. It’s all these trees.”

If the WGA ever adopts an official motto or creed, my vote goes to: “Sometimes I think aliens are messing with the satellites, playing Pong with me, and I am the ball.”

It’s classic. We should get T-shirts made.

I read it this morning. Overall a very nice full-page story, with several plugs for the WGA. Read it online here: http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=479665

Those of you who attended the first-ever Wisconsin geocaching event in August 2001 may remember Stanley Miller, the Journal Sentinel reporter who wrote today’s story. He also attended the 2001 Pike Lake event and wrote this story: http://www2.jsonline.com/news/metro/aug01/geo27082601a.asp
