Evening everyone.
Since we adopted our first cache and I’m not really happy with the current container. I’m wondering if its acceptable to change the cache container size to a Film Type canister till spring? Then go back to a Traditional size container in spring when i can find a better spot for the cache?
Can someone advise me?
Thanks
Collin
Team MargaritavilleThere is no problem with doing that. Another option is to disable it until you can find a better spot. I’m currently in that situation with a cache I adopted as well. You are the one who can best decide if a 35mm does it justice in the interim or not.
In the second sentence, I believe Brian was stating that he wished Renee had been elected to the WGA as she has extensive experience working with park departments to promote geocaching.
Oh my goodness!!!! Those are gorgeous!
When will they be for sale?
Well, I’m quite honored and humbled to be chosen. It was a very difficult decision for many people and I hope I will do it justice. I’m looking forward to this new challenge! 8)
If anyone want to trade or sell one to me, just let me know!
My trade list:

Hmmm, I didn’t know that was your design either. I will pursue a trade for one of those as well.
To answer your question – I guess the main thing I would bring to the WGA board would be my experience with non-profits and managing large events.
Thanks to whomever nominated me and to everyone who decides to give me one of your votes. I know it is a very tough choice – it took me quite a while to decide how to vote. I just kept changing my mind! No matter how it shakes out, I am excited about the future of the WGA and will stay involved no matter what!

We got ours, and they are lovely!!!!!!
That’s a nice compliment coming from one of our new premier geocoin designers! But like I said, pcfrog gets the design credit.
3. Come up the finale weekend, and grab as many as ya can on the last day, and then stay for the geocaching festival on Sunday, and get the cool new Chippewa Valley geocaching coin for attending.

The other two won’t work for us, but I will try to make this one. I just wish I had a week to spend like last year. 8)
Sounds awesome Kent! Too bad our spring break occurs a week too early and school doesn’t let out until it’s over. 😥 Maybe we can make one of the events.
Perhaps next year you might consider the school schedule for those who have families?
But with 50 new permanent placements, there will be plenty to keep us busy once we can get up there. Have fun with it everyone!
There’s something about extreme temps that just seem to beckon to me – tho I can’t fathom why.
Today, Bec and I found 7 caches and 5 temps at the Super Bowl event. The high was forecast to be -4 with windchills in the -20 to -30s.
But last summer, I took the kids geocaching on what I believe was the hottest day of the year – topping out right at 100 sometime around the end of July if I remember correctly. The highlight of the day was visiting Lil Otter’s For God and Country Grotto Shrine cache somewhere west of Wisconsin Rapids. After finding it, we wandered the gardens which were lush and shady and the grotto, which was a man-made cave, was cool and inviting. The rest of the caches that day were a bit more sweaty (some involving stinging nettles and poison ivy), so we returned to the campground in the evening to take a dip in the pond there. The kids enjoyed trying to catch the tadpoles, but the skeeters were pretty relentless. That particular trip convinced me to upgrade to a camper with AC.
Skeeters, nettles and poison ivy – ahhhh, summer. 8)
If there is still room, I’d be in.

Here is the official WGA Policy as adopted by the board:
- The WGA encourages each geocacher present for the official event photo (traditionally at 5pm) to log a “find” for the Event itself by logging “has attended” on the event webpage……
Just asking for clearification.
During the WGA Geo-Campout 2006 at Peninsula State Park My family and I arrived Friday around 1130am and camped that night. That was a cold wet night. Anyhow, we ended up leaving by 2pm Saturday. Does this mean I should not have logged an “Attended”?
If you checked in and signed the release, then I’m sure you can log an attended. Perhaps that was not always the case in the early days? Being at the meeting and picture is highly recommended but I don’t think it is absolutely mandatory.

As I wrote in my early post, other states log temp. caches just like we do.
My suggestion was for geocaching.com to allow those states that log temp. caches to use the same cache page format/choices as CITO events.If you look at The Tapps/AuntieNae’s CITO Waukesha 2007 event:
http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?ID=525461
and you click on “log your visit,” you can log “attended” which increases your event total find/s and/or if you click on “found it,” (to log the temp. caches) you increase your cache total finds. Thus the number of events attended would be just for that (the number of events you have attended), and the temp. cache finds would each be counted as a cache find.Does this make sense to anyone?
Anyone willing to approach geocaching.com with this suggestion/solution?Awhile back (far from the west coast I believe), someone e-mailed me a quote from Jeremy Irish and the last thing Jeremy was quoted as saying was something like, he (Jeremy)is not losing any sleep over the way Wisconsin logs their temp. caches for events. The last thing that I e-mailed to that person was that I wasn’t losing any sleep either the way we log temp. caches 💡 Tami
Similar things have been suggested in earlier temp logging threads on groundspeak. I remember something like that from last year. But TPTB just don’t seem to care.
In my fantasies, there would be an optional page that a cache owner could set up. On it would be listed all the temp caches. People who go to the event then could just open that page, check off the temps found, and log them all at once. Then those numbers would show up on a seperate line in the profile and people could choose whether to count them in the find count or not. Hey, I can dream right?
That looks awesome!
Since this is a new year, I have lowered the price to $8.50 per coin (plus shipping). All the details can be found in the thread in the For Sale section. I can do paypal or checks. PM me if interested. There are 30 left.
