      It’s about you and your caching experience, whatever it is. Good luck, Error3!

        Does anyone know the time frame for logging these souvenirs? Is it a week or two like most of the others? It would be interesting if people went to log today’s finds tomorrow, but the August 1 souvenir was no longer available… 😈

          I checked on some of your hides that had 2012 “last found” dates, and for each of the ones I checked, that “last” log was by gameoftag (fluttertoo also found those on the same date). Were those all just logged recently, even though the “found it” dates were a while ago? It is a bit odd…

            Just saw the souvenirs here. For what it’s worth, they’re kinda cute.

                          In all of those examples, it looks like you go to the initial given coordinates and make an observation. You are asked to identify a word that you see there (it will fill in the blanks), and based on the letters in the words, you are given corresponding numbers to use for your next stage.

                          For example, if you are sent to a sign that says, “LIONS TIGERS BEARS”, and the cache page shows: LIONS _ _ _ _ _ _ BEARS, you would identify the word TIGERS. Then if the cache page shows: 2 4 6 8 9 0, you would assign the 2 to the letter T, 4 to the letter I, 6 to G, 8 to E, 9 to R, and 0 to S. Then if the cache page says that the next stage can be found at: N 56˚ 4I.ERT W 103˚ 3S.GRR, you would plug in the numbers that you just figured to get the coordinates of: N 56˚ 44.892 W 103˚ 30.699.

                          The key to all of the examples you shared is to go to the actual locations of the given coordinates and find the words somewhere there that will fit in with the rest of what is said on the cache pages.

                              Great pics at the cache and a great-looking family. Congrats on the 1500 finds, Opps5!

                                  I say keep it going, Splash. Just tell people that they will have to keep track on their own and submit a bookmark. Or at least see how many people are still working on this before changing or archiving it. It may not be that important to us as a team, but it is to a lot of people.

                                  Now, if it’s too much of a headache for you as the CO to verify everyone’s finds, then it becomes like any other cache. If it has become work and is no longer enjoyable for you to have out there, do what you want with it.
