WOW! 2000 is a big Milestone, and to achieve it while completing the DeLorme Challenge is even bigger. Congrats to you both!

[TyeDyeSkyGuy]

Congrats to you both! And Boyd will be back as soon as he has recovered from surgery. Poor little guy lost both his legs in a climbing accident. After his long road to recovery, I think it’s due time for he and Boydina to finaly “meet”. We’ll just have to avoid telling the other woman in his life. 😀

Way to go Ralph!

Welcome to the addiction Ken. If you’re ever down Kenosha way and need a tour guide, just ask.

I guess I consider my puzzle caches to be no different than my, or any ones traditional caches. There is no need to archive them unnecessarily. If there’s nothing wrong with them, leave them until they need to be archived due to damage, muggles or whatever.

I have a few puzzles that get only a couple visits each year, and in most cases those visitors are new to the game, or people that came from afar.

So, I see no need for a standard. Keep your puzzles.

Now, since I am the perpetual fence-sitter, I’ll give you a bit from the other side. If there are folks in your dying to place some caches, but can’t because of some puzzles that are more or less dormant, maybe it’s time to archive a few to give them the space they need.

[TyeDyeSkyGuy]

Tough one. I’ll have to give this one some thought before I answer.

And at what point is enough, enough? This guy has 10 DUI’s. A new law, preventing him from owning or operating a vehicle is not going to stop people like him. We need a law that puts people like this behind bars and keeps them there.

Iknow, I know, the jails are overcrowded with violent offenders and we don’t have enough room even for them.

Soooooo, why aren’t we building more jails/prisons? It would provide jobs for skilled labor to build, and even more jobs in the manufacturing aspect, as well as permanent jobs for the folks that will end up working there.

Don’t want a jail in your town? Put one here. It’ll be a constant reminder to all those would be offenders.

I agree that it is terrible that the cache went missing, and it sounds like someone was a little disgruntled by your efforts. Folks should remember this is a game, and ya cant find em all.

BTW, I looked for this one as well, and whiffed, and I wear the DNF proudly. It sounds like nearly all the finders were folks with ample hints, which are generally not available to folks wo travel a long ways. I see the Difficulty rating was only a 3 1/2. Just a question: Why so low? If the cache was hid as you describe it should have been a 4 or 5, I would think.

I started the cache at 3 1/2 (2 1/2 – 3 1/2) as I usually do on my Puzzles and NEMESIS caches, until I can gauge the difficulty by peoples logs. For some reason, this one just never got changed. As NEMESIS caches go, this one would have been a strong 4 1/2 star.

As for as hints go, in all actuality, many more found it without hints, than found it with hints. Locals are used to these caches and are getting to know the placements and what to expect. caches like these can hone your skills quickly.

Incidentally, if anyone is ever in the area searching for NEMESIS caches, feel free to ask for a hint or two or seven. I don’t mind helping, and if your in real bad shape, I’ve been know to drive out to the cache on many occasions if I’m able. My phone number is also available through many local cachers. If you’re coming to the area and planning to do the NEMESIS or Riddler series, email me and I’ll provide my cell number for phone-a-friend support. I want my caches found, just not by muggles. 😀

[TyeDyeSkyGuy]

Thanks for your great comments. Believe me, there will be more NEMESIS caches to come. I’m only 2 away from #20, and boy do I have something special planned. Been working on this cache for 2 years! You think “Bullshwag” was a challenge?

I let the thread sealer dry before installing it the first time. That way it’s a tight fit, but it didn’t stick.

I use EasyGPS and a Magellan, and always get all the WP’s when I download the GPX file.

Also, when downloading to my Garmin dash unit, it also recieve all the WP’s.

[TyeDyeSkyGuy]

A special thanks to all of you that keep this sport going for us. Without your efforts we’d only have WallyWorld parking lots to place our caches.

THANK YOU!!!

[TyeDyeSkyGuy]

I’m in for this season again. Ya’ll goin’ down hard this year!
