Just read the notification that my C6 Corvette racer has just jumped from 6th place into 2nd with a trip from Germany to China. 🙂
Look out little robot, I have you in my sights now. 😆
I agree with sandlanders’ statement. I have my eye on the one in Janesville, as I had found it before, but there is a lot of snow and it may have been moved.
Cool!! The squirrel has been very busy this winter. 🙂
It does have a DNF posted already. 😆
I do understand that there are people that avoid these like the plague, while there are some realy neat WSQ’s around. The best one that comes to mind is Les Paul’s grave site. It brings people to that spot that may not know how great a man Les was.
I have two that I am fond of and both are placed away from gravesites. The first teachs people about one of the few Revolutionary Soilders buried in Green County. The second is a cache to honor my first grandaughter who only was with us for about one hour.
I guess that I am saying that there are some special WSQ’s and then there are some that just bring you to a new place that you would never visit otherwise and different people are drawn to both types.
I would also add that it is good to include the verbage that you see on most WSQ cache pages, explaining that the cache is not on any gravesite, etc. and to also respect others that may be conducting business in the cemetery. This verbage helps to prevent cachers from looking in places that they should not, as some hides may be close to a grave, but not on one.
Speaking as a former village trustee and having served many years on the Cemetery Committee, the land is not considered public. The individual lots are own by the family and the other land is owned by the church or govenmental body that maintains the cemetery. In short, someone has control of that land.
Getting permission normally is not that hard, once you locate the proper person to talk to. That sometimes is the hardest part. It can take some research and many phone messages. For me it is a little easier, as I have the county tourism coord availabe to help me. Noreen knows a lot of people and is willing to track them down and obtain needed permissions. Most of my caches are sponsored by her, but she has obtained permission for some of my personal hides.

My TB has been raised from the grave of a cemetery cache thanks to Jim. Now Jim please be nice and send it somewhere that it might have a chance of getting a couple of miles anyway. Please 🙂
Is Jim doing “TB Resue” missions now. Grandson has one that needs a little PUSH!.

I’ve met him. Nice guy.
I did an electrical engineering one last year. It involved a circuit that had gates, and/or switches, etc. It was fun and only took a 2 hours to complete. Data Processing 101 sure came in handy. 🙂
Link for that one? I love the electrical stuff
It’s Logical – http://coord.info/GC2XW8A
You have to use boolean logic and boolean algebra.
Looks like the last cacher to grab my TB is upset that I am deleting the dipping logs. I sent him a message (in german) that I thanked him for his effort, but they do not count. I guess he gets an email for every delete I do. He dipped it TONS of times before I asked him to drop it some place.
Oh well!

I did included a TB ‘passport’, but did not think about translations.
Everyone knows how to use translate.google.com! 😆
OK. The Corvette is finally back on the Autobahn and moving again. I had to ‘negotiate’ it’s release from the last cacher. He was dipping it all over Germany! 😆
He finally dropped it when I wrote him. It was fun to have a ‘conversation’ in german with him. 🙂
Now to catch up with that darn Bad Robot. 😈
