Nearly all of the caches in the park are archived annually, at the park's request. Then moved and republished early in December. At the moment there are +250 active caches in JDSP.
Here's a geocaching map of the park, roughly centered. You'll need to zoom out to get a feel for it. And here's a current, December 2009, bookmarked list for the caches in the park.
Because of the big annual event early each December, and the park's request that the caches mostly be moved each year, the park is largely cache free for the month of November. It takes time to pick up all those ammo cans: replace logs, reswag, and reposition that many caches, write them up, get them all published, even with the efforts of a number of cachers.
Wow.
I've never come across this sort of arrangement before.
What's the reasoning behind it all? Is it done for conservation reasons, to ensure that certain well-cached areas get a chance to recover? Or done so that all caches keep up to a high standard of regular maintence? Or to keep up a good regular supply of fresh caches each year?
I can see it must be a lot of work for the local caching community.
MrsB (Just curious)
It's done so that attendees will have a fresh supply of new caches to find at the event. The current caches will be up until Oct/Nov of 2010 and then they will be archived and moved around for next year's event which btw may be bumped into January.

mine shipped 12 days ago and I just got it today, so hang in there brew
I am not doing business with them again...they do not deserve a second chance, they should do everyone a favor and throw in the towel. All they had to do was reply to everyones' inquiries but they ignored every one of them, they didn't even respond to the BBB complaints, now they have an F rating, good luck bouncing back from that, see ya.

I actually just received the Pirate coins I had ordered in August and they also sent a free cachin freestyle coin, but I am done with them, hope everyone else gets their coins or refunds
-
I just received an "Order Shipped" email from A&E Toys. It's for my Pirate Coin order but, it's better than nuthin! Maybe the Dragonfly's will be next
I got an Order Shipped email too, it's also for the Pirate coins and some other items I bought from them, we'll see...
-
in this case, no news is not good news--haven't heard a thing, no coins in mail yet...I am still hopeful every time I get the mail though

I don't care what it costs, it is time to say BS to this crap. I wrote them today asking for either an exact date for delivery of all products or an address at which they can be served with papers. Doesn't cost much to file a claim in small claims court, and a trip to Idaho would be part of the costs reimbursable. Might even have an opportunity to find a cache or two while there. Besides, a couple of judgements against deadbeats selling here should send a message.
Here is the address that is on the BBB site:
Alan & Elli's Toys
1128 Fiesta Way
Twin Falls, ID 83301-8264

I did not receive any notifications either
-
I did find this new update on their site regarding the Pirate coin:
The Pirate coins will be shipping next week. All orders will be filled then the remaining coins will be listed here on Friday Dec. 5th.
So, who knows what the heck is going on
-
Looks like they closed shop on ebay...it says aetoys store name doesn't exist anymore
-
I received my BBB confirmation too
-
I filed the complaint through the Paypal Resolution Center, it basically said it was too late but hopefully they will see it in their system like you said...
I used a bank transfer instead of the credit card on Paypal, so I guess I am out of luck, but that's good info to everyone else who used a credit card. Thanks for posting all that info
-
I'll keep an eye out for that.
A few days ago, they had a BBB rating of B-. Now they are listed with a "No Rating" which means: BBB has recently received numerous complaints against the business that are still being processed and have not been incorporated into the ratings evaluation.
Good!

We should all chime in on this topic every once and while and keep it on the top page, otherwise, it is going to get buried

I contacted them from Ebay using the 'Ask Seller A Question' link on one of their listings with a question about one of their listings and got a reply in about 30 minutes. Since they seem to reply to questions about their listings on Ebay that shows to me that they are still trying to sell products and can be contacted, therefore it looks like they are just ignoring any questions put to them about the dragonfly coins.
I did the same thing, but I requested a refund on my orders for the Pirate and Dragonfly coins--No response!
I tried that too--nothing
I am thinking about buying something from them off ebay just so I can leave them negative feedback
Is it against forum rules to post a new topic entitled "AETOYS ripped me off"
-
we could a post a note on one of their cache page listings, "I paid you three months ago, where's my stuff?" that should get their attention
Actually, it's been since the end of MAY. . .
so did anyone do this? great idea, imo.
rsg
I realize that the perons running the company has done a very bad thing but I also think GS will ot look kindly on this action. The BBB and paypal is a better idea, IMHO.
On second thought, I agree with you, I don't think GS would approve.

That's crazy!

Complaint filed too
-
I was looking at my paypal receipt and it included this customer service number for them:
208-320-0735
it seems to be a cell phone number of the owner, Mark Pollett, got his voicemail though

They are still actively selling on ebay (last feedback was on Nov 16) so they are obviously still doing business.
Groundspeak PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS VENDOR

What happened with them? I ordered the 2 Pirate coins and some other caching items from them on Aug 23, the last email I received from them was Sept 23 saying that they would ship my "other items" that week, never heard from them again, they won't return emails, now the coin is not even listed on their site any more, I guess they took the money and ran.
Colorado 400t vs. Oregon 400t
in How do I...?

The biggest difference between the two is the CO has the "rock n roller" wheel and the OR is touchscreen. If you like using an iphone, I'd go with the OR. I own the CO and love it although like anything, it took a little practicing getting used to the feel of the wheel and navigating through the menus. I have never used a OR but I have seen videos on it and it seems a lot easier to use than the CO. Both units are waterproof but I'd imagine the OR screen getting pretty grimy after a few hours of hiking. Both come with the maps and the paperless caching feature which is the reason I bought the unit in the first place, it's great! You can do some searches for Garmin Colorado vs Oregon to get more info on the two.
