I;ve just started to read these because I have a few pet peeves. Most were discussed but one that wasn't. Logs, multipage, partially filled out, especially if folded both sideways and up and down. Many caches refold them back to the original folds. I hope to find logs with the next blank spot for my signature staring at me. They don't need refolded to the original, leave it how you find it.

I did the series in December with three cars. Saw very little traffic. Always pulled off the road outside the white stripe. Didn't liter or damage anything and walked the alien head. Been following series this for some time. The series is OUTSTANDING. It has brought people and teams in from all over the world. No cacher has complained (Groundspeak take note - caching is fun, this was fun. Caching is not dangerous (maybe for terrain 5.0) and this series was not dangerous. Some people did stupid things but why punish the entire caching population for a few. Add some regulations or criteria and a method to enforce. And respond to whoever in Nevada that is applying pressure. One of the major Nevada industries is tourism. This series has supported that industry and that should be stressed and reason enough to allow the series. A snow plow incident on a remote road, WOW. If bad enough, give the offender a citation, ticket or something.Place highway signs along the road. They have them for deer crossings. Not much cost. Warn the drivers that there are people parking along the road. To get your attention: In the extreme, prostitution is "accepted" in Vegas but illegal, why?, promotes tourism to some small degree, helps the economy. This series is the other extreme. No one has been hurt, it brings in money and outsiders to the state. Has helped the economy; ask the people that live in Rachael. It is history now. Probably negative incentive to those already working on a longer, larger series. I wish Groundspeak would share their rationale for the archives. They have a excellent history of totally supporting all aspects of geocaching. They only seem to not allow things that make sense. What happened this time.

]I was with GSMX2 on both the ET series and the Route 66 power trails. We had about 10 in one group and 8 in the other. Bottom line, we had an EXPERIENCE, BOTH TIMES. Fellowship, friendship, laughs, (videos???), and we bagged over 2000 on the combined runs. Did this increase our numbers, you bet. Our geosense, not a bit. Rules. We didn't break any. We had fun That is why I cache. The numbers are a small fractional part of the sport/hobby/whatever this is. No fun, then I'll go skydiving or rock climbing. I have to tell you, we found probably over 20 different styles of logs in the ET series, all different, some were 1 page, some up to 6; mostly in film cans. Stamps, stickers, a few logs (multipage) that someone had painsakingly (SP?) taken the trouble to rewrite, very few were alike and I bet less than 10% were "original" logs. No one cared. We leapfrogged and replaced lost containers, and switched containers as we moved. It was an experience, a fun trip. Please don't try to make something more out of it or try to convince someone we wern't doing it RIGHT. This isn't broken, so please don't try to fix it. If you want to personally log each and every cache, go for it. I usually cache with a buddy and we sign each other's names, hope that meets your criteria. Meets mine because we enjoy it.

I'll take what is left. majorjarhead@aol.com, email me with the payment process and I'll give you an address. My first attemp and it isn't straightforward. Here's what's left after today's purchases, so it's easier to read. So I pulled out a pile of coins that I figure I'll sell for $5 each. They are all trackable and unactivated. Shipping will be $2 for the first coin, $.50 each additional coin. Delivery confirmation or insurance extra. Emails please, no PMs!
