  2. Any chance that you would allow previous movers of the TB's / Geocoin's to place them in the final Event cache.

    How about Batman returns cache? But surely you did not take the small kids on the otter trail.
  8. How about stats for. The following cachers have Hidden the most of the 9 different cache types in Africa.
  9. Traditional Multi Mystery Event Webcam Virtual EarthCache Letterbox Hybrid Waymark I don't think webcam & waymarks where used. Think CITO & Wherigo where used instead.
  10. They all have grass. Ok, they all seat over 50 000 fans
  11. It was a pleasure meeting you, I hope you enjoyed your brief visit this side.
  12. The last living Quagga died at the Amsterdam Zoo. It wasn't known at the time, simply because the term Quagga was applied to any zebra found in South Africa, but when the last Quagga mare died in Amsterdam all the rest had been hunted to extinction - although controversy existed as to whether the Quagga was just a variant of the plains zebra (known in Southern Africa as the Burchell's zebra). DNA testing on skins from mounted specimens has since shown that the Quagga was in fact a sub-species (it was the first extinct animal to have its mitochondrial DNA determined). The Quagga was striped only on the head and neck, and had a brownish coat rather than white. It is not know for sure when the last wild Quagga died but I remember reading an article at the Chester Zoo, stating that the last wild Quagga was shot near King William's Town more than 10 years earlier. DamhuisClan your it.
  13. Ok here goes. Who or what died in Amsterdam 12 August 1883?
  14. Ah! The former Transkei (my home away from home). Now there's an area I'm able to comment on its caches. Having found all the available caches in the Transkei, I can say there is not a single cache that I was disappointed in finding, unfortunately the same can't be said about some of the urban caches I have found around the country. If I must list a few here is my top 10 in no particular order. The Gap GCXBZD FAPJ GCTVVZ Collywobbles GC1GA6D Magwa Falls GC1FKTF Waterfall Wonder GC1F3BJ Tsitsa Falls GCXBZG Chloe’s cache at “The Gates” GC12HY0 Avian Airborne Antics GC1EWG2 Nongqawuse pools GC1GB96 Bawa Falls GC161G7 But really all the caches are worth looking into. Should you venture this way, please note Garmaps does not have very good rural road coverage in the area. I have seen some good road maps or Google earth is a good option. As for the roads, don’t expect too much. But a Sedan driven carefully should get you most places. As for the safety. I can't think of one cache that would put you at risk apart from maybe the terrain risk on some of them. To give an example of the risk factor. I felt quite at ease parking my car in the middle of a rural village at 20:00 and completed a 3.5km walk to the sea and back. Where as I was not as comfortable completing an urban cache in Durban at night. Hope to see some logs coming through in the future
  15. Tried this out at my Camp & Cache event cache. Below are my comments and results. Stake your Position. This was an interesting exercise and I could hardly contain myself, with all the various methods that were used to try achieve the goal. Some of the methods used included holding GPSr as high to the sky as possible, Hold a broom stick in the air, crawling along the ground, taking three steps back to try remove any interference. As you can see by the results, not one more than 3 meters out. I would say that's quite accurate. 1. iPajero 84cm 2. GC001 1.37.5m 3. Visvangers 1.40m 4. The Dobies 1.63m 5. iHilux 1.86m 6.

    Geocoin?

    Thanks for the info. Having established the origin of the coin. Does anyone know who coin 394 belongs to. I'm sure the owner would love to know that there coin as alive and will. Maybe I could attach a TB tag if the owner is interested.
  17. I too, enjoy reading some of my fellow cachers experiences on my caches and other caches. To put in interesting spin on the topic. Out of all of my placed caches, my cache with the simple title of " :-) " has received the most web hits on it (Go figure?).

    Geocoin?

    I removed what I thought was a geocoin from a cache (picture below). It has a three digit number on it, this number is in use by another geocoin. So I don't think its a tracking number. Anyone know what this coin is all about?
  19. Here in the East London Region we have had a floating trophy for the last two years presented for the best cache placement of the year in the East London region. Each finder of the caches placed within the said year has a say as to the awarding of the trophy. I believe this has lead to some friendly completion in the placement of caches and has helped keep a high standard of the caches placed. I think it could only be beneficial to the sport if other region considered doing the same.
  20. So what are they going to be doing this year?
