😆 Brett,
You are quick man! Correct. So are there any caches in honor of Liberace or Grandma Walton??? – I wonder if she is buried here in WI? I know already about the Houdini monument in Appleton, it has one of our fav caches, Metamorphosis GCNA82
ARRR ya scurvy dogs ought ta visit me pirate shipwreck then GCVP2P. Ya kin learn ta speak pirate on that cache page too and have ye a good laugh at the logs from all the plunderin’ of me ship!
Kin ya answer these ya scallywags:
Q: Under what name did Appleton, WI. resident Ehrich Weiss become famous?
Q: Where was Liberace born?
Q: Racine’s Ellen Corby became famous for what role? (I wonder if she is buried in a Racine cemetary, anybody know?)
Correct! There are also several more related to the Ingalls family in WI that Lost by 7 has if you are interested. GC13PZQ and where Carolines mother is buried GC13Q1E
What a fun thread. 😀 Now the answers to the other trivia questions anyone??? I can’t find them 😥
I recently had an Earthcache approved. As you know, these have tasks have to be done to log the find. If a cacher does not do this and logs a find, I would assume I delete the log? I sent a reminder yesterday, but this cacher has not e-mailed me the required tasks answers. (I just feel guilty deleting someone’s log is all… 🙄 )
I learned about a very famous family that had their start in Brookfield, WI. I was born and raised in Brookfield and NEVER knew it. I have seen every one of the TV shows about their lives (at least I think I have). Do you know who THEY are? 😀
When I click on a map area, for instance La Crosse, it will then again tell me to insert the USA Topo East CD 😯
Did you remember getting those with the City Navigator or?
How many coins is that? ❓
I have also seen them in larger chain gas stations like Kwik Tripp, etc. Those are usually sold with colored designs on them, however. I did see one once that was camo and could kick myself in hineder for not buying it at the time 🙄 I think the most frequent use of them is for storing of Nitro pills, as I have seen quite a few folks come into the ER with them.
That sounds similar to letterboxing.
Pathtags are a somewhat new item, similar to a coin. You have it minted – pretty reasonably priced, at pathtags.com with a design you submit. You then put them in caches or trade online and people keep them rather than moving them like a coin or a TB. They have their own tracking numbers and you can see where they are picked up on a map. We just got ours and love them, we got over 30 in the first month we were trading! Ours turned out better than the picture on the website – ours is on page 44 of the tag gallery. This way, the whole purpose is for someone to keep it! 🙂
Travel bug prisons, I agree that is a rather crummy term, but folks do put restrictions on taking stuff in them. I usually try to only take one even if I don’t have one to trade. The reason is I don’t think that the owner of any of those travel bugs put it on their mission for the TB to sit in a cache until someone else had one to trade. Those are “rules” imposed by the cache owner – which in my opinion – are only causing TB’s to sit forever and not move. 🙄 I could care less if somebody takes all the TB’s out of my TB cache, it keeps them going for the owners!! Just my opinion of course… 😀
We also ordered the pathtags kind of for the same reason. At least with those, they CAN keep them and we can watch where they end up. 😕
