  1. Sign-up: form sent 2/25/2011

    Name received:3/21/2011

    Package received:4/11/2011

    Package sent:

    Came home last night to find an extra birthday present- a package from Norway!

    Will fill in details when I get a chance to open it, wanted to get acknowledgment up for far off sender...

  2. Thanks E&C for hosting this one, and congrats to Digger.... I vote that next year, as a handicap to give us all a chance, he has to not make a pick in a first round game :laughing: Either that or we all run to Vegas after his picks and bet all the early dogs he chooses! :lol:

    (He won the bracket cointest I had last year, too!)

  3. from silence here, I gather there has been concession/surrender?

    I can still root for my Huskies, and satisfaction of most correct picks for group if they do it...

    Can UCONN double up again?

  4. I haven't gone through all the brackets yet, but the only one in the top 15 still having a shot at picking the National Champion is Mausion. :D

     

    At least I have the knowledge that Sir Charles Barkley's bracket is worse than mine.

     

    I'm 8th with UCONN as Champ, but bonus points are my downfall... even if Huskies go all the way, they're the best remaining seed so not a chance to pick up enough ground... best I can do is 79 points and a tie for 3rd... (according to the scenario generator)

  5. It seems like there has been a high number of cachers lately who find geocoins or travel bugs and fail to log them. A lot of coins and bugs I have been tracking appear to have gone missing. Anyone else notice this? Any suggestions on how to better educate new cachers about how to deal properly with these items?

    Don't know of much that will solve it. Seems some people just like shiny things and don't/can't read the tiny print on the coin (or the 30pt font on the 4X6 index card, or the neon sign chained to the coin!) :rolleyes: .

    I recently got some 'copy cat coins' for some of my missing travelers and my Sasquatch (share the icon without giving away the coin!) and will probably do same if I release any more coins.

    New cachers who pick them up will either stick with the game, get the idea of travelers, and move it along, but for many the caching fad lasts a week or two and anything they grabbed is gone in the trash or junk drawer.

  6. It's kind of a 'novelty' type item... like some cachers wear TB t-shirts,dogtag necklaces, and even have tattoos to be discovered at events. Interesting to see when & where it's discovered in your travels. I have one that I 'drop' & 'grab' from caches I find as kind of a journal (some do this with bug tags or coins).

    Just 'discover' it- please don't take my car to put in another cache!! :lol:
