For those familiar with the area, this race is held on the property of the Shadow Hill Ranch, site of the Country Thunder Music Festival, among other events.

By the way, I’m signed up for 9AM Sunday.

Maybe it is time to start with the state tourism department, asking for action from the governor. Does anyone remember the name of the jerk at the DOT? I will work on drumming up a contact at Tourism.

Appears to have broken. Please send a PM to Team Black-Cat.

OK, here is a good hint for this specific puzzle. Don’t make it too hard! Once you figure out the method, you could teach it to the average 3 year old in about 2 minutes, and they could then solve the puzzle for you.

One quick note to add: current members also need to be nominated. If one of those people is your choice, be sure to nominate them.

They have showers at the end, so you don’t have to stay muddy unless you want to. One of the last obstacles is crossing a three foot deep pond, so that should help as well.

Welcome! I’d suggest that you might want to find your way to the Gifted Snowbuster event coming up. You will find a lot of folks who can help you get started.

I’m planning on running this with my fitness group. Looks like fun to me.

One other thing I have found. If you do a cache search of any type (except previewing a PQ apparently), then click on the blue ribbon at the top of the grid, it will sort your search by the number of favorite votes. So, if you just search by the state of Wisconsin, you will find that the most favorited cache (at least when I looked) was Dr. Evermore. You can do this by country or center point and radius or whatever.

On a positive note, our recent logs harvester appears to be working. Site updates usually break it..

Woohoo! And my reviewer scripts all seem to be working as well. Double woohoo!

To see the new maps, go to the “search by Google maps” area and toward the top, you will see “View the new maps beta”. Unfortunately, this is only the first of four phases for implementing the new maps, so there are no filters yet (not even filtering out your finds), so the utility is not that great today. For now, it is just a toy, but you can imagine how it will be useful as it gets completed.

It is interesting to see how this is shaping up so far. What I see being favorited is:

a. Caches involving journeys to/through interesting terrain (multis, hikes, water caches, tree climbing, etc.)
b. Interesting containers / hides
c. Interesting puzzles
d. Historical/scientific/cultural sites
e. Collection type mystery caches (i.e. Battleship)

What I don’t see much of:

a. Power trail type caches
b. Extremely difficult puzzles
c. Extremely difficult hides (there are a few)
d. Urban micros
e. Cemetery hides (a few)
e. Caches hidden “en masse” (you all know what I mean; even when these are good, they are tough to remember)
f. People just favoriting their friend’s caches (I did see one example of this. There is a knucklehead in every crowd.)

Even as I stray down toward Chicago, I see basically the same thing. Nobody is wasting time putting a favorite tag on a parking lot or lamp post hide. Let’s hope folks can keep up their standards as more people find the feature.

[Team Deejay]

Actually, it doesn’t show the cache name (or code) of the closest or farthest caches when you look at other peoples profiles, only the distance.

[Team Deejay]

Well, nobody says you have use all your favorites. 😀
