If you download the two WSQ bookmarks I maintain for Wisconsin, and run them thru GSAK, you will see a lot of variety and individualism represented.

One cacher did not like spirt, and uses WICQ – WI Cemetery Quest.

Then you have FOGs and EISs, and Old Cemeteries, and ……..

I would like to see them all use a common acroymn, but that is just me being a neatness freak.

I do ask anyone using WSQ to consider conforming to a standard of punctuation, so that Cachemate does not go bananas with fifty different alpha listings. That’s almost as bad as long names which generate useless 6 or 8 digit smart names.

BTW, as of today there are 992 caches on the list.

I think it is a little tacky and a huge slap in the face to all the cachers in WI who have WSQ caches hidden for well over a year to be told these new ones are the official ones. And for as much as I disagree with alot of what Marc has to say, these new caches are really a huge diss to him because of all the hard work he has done to get the wsq going and not being mentioned in them or the implication that his work to get them all started isn’t very important.

Missed this earlier …. You DISAGREE with me? Well, the nerve of some people!

If you’re paperless with Cachemate, you can sort your list of caches either by cache name or waypoint number, depending on how they show up in your GPS.

If you’re using paper, well, you have the paper that tells you all about the cache in your grubby little hands and have any number of ways to match what you’re looking for to where you are.

What am I missing here?

Oh, boy … could I say a lot here. But it would be a lot of duplication from a private e-mail conversation that neither side will ever win.

I agree ………..

Congratulations!

Just a note about naming:

Preferred is: WSQ Name

Do not use any extra spaces or characters such as hyphens, quotes, etc.

“trying to place one in every cemetery in a county”

One cemetery is just one chapter in the history of a particular area. To know the county, you need to ‘read’ the entire book.

Every cemetery has its own personality, due to it’s location, when it was established, who established it, if its still active, etc.

What do Geocachers, Geneaologists, and Family Members have in common:

1. They visit cemeteries.

2. They take pictures, collect info.

3. They celebrate the lives and memories.

Great trip down memory lane. Thanks.

[marc_54140]

Great event! Lots of names and faces matched there ….

[marc_54140]

Just received two.

When ever I run into this problem, I just exit and go some place else.

Seems to come up when you are going thru a lot of pages in one session.

When I saw Zuma #2 in the title I thought there might have been another announcement. Maybe Noah was going to have a lil buddy at the campout.

So Marc, was there any thought of tying all these SO caches into a series final? I think it would be kind of cool.

Yes, and no. Will reconsider it after all the SO’s are out.

I have a Garmin, but ………

I download waypoints to MS Streets & Trips, and draw circles around them. Can easily see where the possibilities are for new caches.

I recently used this method to map out Simpson #9 (?) along the Fox River.

I keep track of all the final waypoints for puzzles in the Kingdom, since there are so many. That way I can map them out if need be.
