Hmmmm… here’s an idea…. Who is up for a side wager??!

I accidentally obtained a certain TravelBug at the recent WGA Campout. Here is the consequence of not winning the ChocolateFest Grand Prize…. Everyone except the winning team *MUST* be photographed with this TravelBug AND one of them must take it home with them from Burlington.

What do you say??! 😈

…Um I know what said bug looks like and that is motivation enough to get me moving.

I just want to wish good luck to everyone heading to Burlington this weekend.

Thanks…not like my team will need it though 😆

…and for those keeping score ZagNuts are from Hershey’s…the chocolate factory in Burlington is Nestle…..I sure hope they don’t hold that against us…is it too late to rename us …perhaps “Goobers”?

Kinda hard to get excited when all we have to do is beat a bunch of nuts!

Maybe we could up the competition a bit and get some grannies with walkers to compete as well.

Hows that LB7 😆

Oh wait you weren’t describing your team?

[Lostby7]

nope…no geocaches = little interest.

Good luck to all.

Wonder if people doing the writeup were geocachers. One GPS per team will make it had to get a location fix!!! I am sure they meant GPSr but even that when you have a team made up of members who usually geocache with each using their own GPSr may make things interesting.

The one in charge is an “Old school” cacher by his words. He really isn’t current with new autorouting GPSr units and other new fangled technology. Such is the case too often in events like this.

This is just the nature of the game I guess. Sux, I know, but don’t let it get you down.

Yep.

We need to also remember different people play for different reasons and have different goals. Sometimes your expectations will match up and sometimes they won’t. Don’t sweat it. Having a TB Hotel with trade requirements just means you will have to spent a bit more time on maintaining it.

I’m afraid that there is very little you can do to get people to comply with your 1 for 1 wishes. In fact there are many who believe that bugs / coins shouldn’t be stuck in a cache simply because the cache owner says they need to be traded for evenly. It comes down to the argument of …”those are not the cache owners trackables and therefore they have no claim over how they are traded.”

Some feel that as the goal of trackables is to move they should be moved as often as possible (what the owner usually wants), the cache owners wishes are irrelevant.

Part of the reason I do not have a TB hotel is that I would be bummed when the trackable inventory went to zilch. The best you can do is to visit your cache often and add new trackables each time you visit.

LB 7, coming as a cowboy by chance?

Quite the opposite actually. Cowboys see my type like they see armadillos…just another speed bump. IF I get out for this I would dress as a biker. With over 30 kits in the closet I could dress as Sponge Bob or Lance Armstrong…and many others in between…Black flames, red flames, yellow flames, a Yoohoo can, solid blue or red speed jerseys, Tour of Hope jerseys…in red, yellow or blue, I have the ol question mark jersey…that’s one of my faves…I think I have nearly as many jerseys as I have multi-cache finds.

Couldn’t find a pic of my favorite jersey but it can be seen a little in this pic from GPS:TheGame.

Boy howdy, that there strike a pose event sure does look like fun…
