It's kinda too bad that a cache owner can't tell who's got their caches on the 'watch' list. Sounds like somebody might be tracking these area caches and popping over soon after a coin is logged in.

shameless bump to keep on page 1. still pretty good odds in a couple of the games!

Working today! Jump aboard!

Gee, not many takers on the one-and-done league- 'fraid you'll wrinkle your tutu's!?

Remember- you gotta pick by coin flip this year! (In this era of 'legislative transparency ' I must reveal that I'm entered in all 3 groups as 'TheQuarter'- whose picks will be made utilizing a "Flip-for-it" coin from last season...)

Pre-emptive strike- Cointest involves joining one (or more) of the Yahoo leagues at above links. The league is a contest where you pick the winner of one of the weekly NFL (American professional football) games. You pick a team each week for as long as you pick winners. Complete rules are on the Yahoo Survival Football site. Winner is player who gets furthest in season without 3 (or 2 or 1 depending on league) wrong picks. NOTE ON SETTINGS FOR GETTING PICKS IN- FOR THE 2 & 3 STRIKE LEAGUES PICKS CLOSE 5 MINUTES BEFORE THE FIRST GAME OF THE WEEK (GOTTA WATCH OUT FOR THOSE THURSDAY & SATURDAY GAMES!). 1 STRIKE LEAGUE PICKS IN BY 1:00PM SUNDAY. (A LITTLE MERCY IF YOU FORGET BY 1ST GAME!)

Was so exiting last season, started it up for this year! Sent out the invites to last year's gang while GC was down for maintenance, popped on this AM and saw the league well populated already! For anyone else who wants to give it a shot, I created a 'for fun' Yahoo Survival pick em league. All are welcome, no stakes to play. I'll send a coin of my choosing from what happens to be in my collection at end of season to winner. I'm playing, so in case by some miracle I win the survival, coin will go to 2nd place. 'The original' GCCoinSurvivors is a three strike league (3 wrong picks before you're out). Also set up a 2 strike and a 'one and done' leagues... different Group ID's, same password, same prize structure. One entry per cacher, per league, please! GCCoinSurvivors (3 strike league) Yahoo Group ID# 783 Password heavymetal http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/survival/783 GCCoiners (2 strike league) Yahoo Group ID# 777 Password heavymetal http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/survival/777 GCCoiners1Strike (one and done) Yahoo Group ID# 780 Password heavymetal http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/survival/780 Will try to keep all 3 leagues on this single thread. Good Luck & have fun!

Not quite..

After losing a detailed cache set up if I'm gonna be running long on a cache description/set up I'll do it in Word or Word Pad than copy/paste to GS.

I'd eat a Klondike Bar!

Late post after a busy couple of days. Opened package to find... CANDY!!! Calmed down enough to stop sugaring up to discover two pouches.... one with a GCC 'Puzzle Cache gear coin and one with a Pocket Decoder!!!! WOW!!!! Thank You TeamEccs for a special mission!!! Rick

Official congrats to Digger9! by a point!!! email sent for prize addy. Thanks all for playing... see you next March! Rick

I'll go with 198 again... worked once! 5 DNF's. Thanks for the cointest!

Wasn't that long a night, as the 2nd game was pretty much done @ the half, letting Digger/Jim spend the final 20 mins sipping his victory Champagne.. Congrats to all on a down-to-the-wire, close, hard fought game!

"All four remaining 'active' brackets involve Duke or WVU winning and advancing to the Final." Could be a long night 'til the 2nd game is done!

Down to the Final Four, appearing to be pretty much locked into results with 9 of 13 gone as far as they can points wise with 'Where's My Marbles' leading with 66 points & Champion pick OUT... but wait! All four remaining 'active' brackets involve Duke or WVU winning and advancing to the Final. 'BBall Bracket' in 4th place can add 16 points to a max of 79. Champion pick is OUT. 'Digger9 Bracket' in 6th can reach 75. Champion pick is OUT. 'labrat_wr' in 7th can reach 74. Champion pick is OUT. and finally the 12th place 'GoUconn !' with a lowly 49 points heading in has the only Champion pick alive for a potential of 97 points. A West Virginia win would Dookie it up for 'Digger9 Bracket' and 'labrat_wr' , all but giving the crown to 'BBall Bracket' unless WVU wins it all, handing the title to 'GoUconn !' . A Duke win would seem to give title to Digger by ONE POINT. Stay tuned!

Looked @ your graphics page... almost afraid to ask..... beneath 'Rupert's Kids'... "Custom Cornhole Decals" ??!

Who wanted the three orders of Frog Legs en brochette???

Picked up a few 'Cache to Eagle' coins (track-able & non-track-able) to put in caches here: http://www.geoscouting.com/cache2eagle.html Quick & painless.
