Indeed it was Fidel Castro (Cuba).. He stepped down in 2008... He was in charge from 1959... But his brother took over, (so much for democracy)... The second spot on the podium belongs to Kim Il-Sung of North Korea... Your turn Wazat.

iPa-4000-jero... Congrats on this Super Milestone...

Let's stick with Dictators for a bit then... Muammar al-Gaddafi has been ruling Libia for the last 41 years... That is the 3rd longest rule by any non-royal ruler... Who holds the record (49 years) ??

His bodyguards are all female.... And some of them quite good looking too, I might add...

I'm in.... I'm in..... I'm in.... No matter what the date, I'll shuffle things around.... Crystal Joy, who works with me are keen too... (Depending on the date.)

He was born at the site of a plane crash ??? His mother survived and he was born in some remote mountain area ???

I'm rather glad this will be an early morning hike, as I have to be at work that afternoon. I will definitely be joining you guys.. I would love to see the residence of Mr Penny.. And maybe get a feel of the kind of terrain that he had to face during his escape up the mountain..

Wild Guess here.... STING ???

Just bumping this one to the top again... 11 Days and no takers ????????

And from me too... Great going Fish Eagle.

Milestones everywhere... Well done to Mr Pooks, Zambesiboy, and Tricky Vicky & Micky...

Take it away Flying Syringe... SS Antipolis it is... Well done..

Nope, Nope, Nope, Nope, Nope, Nope... But tomtwogates is very hot...

This should be an easy one for the Capetonians... The trick is to work out where it was taken from...

Coming soon to a cache near you ... eagleise. Welcome young man. Keeping an eye out for your logs..

Wait a minute... Wait a minute... I know... MMmmmmmmm... Tanxs for the cache. (GC1826G)

Stuck his finger into another players ..... uhm... flipside ?

What Monkey see, monkey do... If the old hands keep on placing creative caches... Do effort with their listings... Take cachers to interesting places... Create a bit of a challenge... ... Then the Newbies "should" follow suit... In theory they will take their cue from what they've seen thus far, before placing their first cache... But, sooner or later a Power Trail Maverick will show up... In stead of a blanket boycott the old hands could maybe do one or two and write a "negative" log... Newbies pick up the names of the established cachers very early on, and can't help but to read their logs... A guy with 5 finds thinks that someone with a 1000 finds is Uber-cool, and takes note of his logs.. Maybe the power trail would die a sudden death, if one injects just a little bit of malice via the logs... I really hope South Africa doesn't go the Power Trail way... It must be boring to the n-th degree doing it...

I think the problem is not really the size, but the fact that the swag tends to get watered down over time... The FTF guy might open up a "regular" with very cool swag... Finder no 20 only finds two Mc Donalds toys, and sunglasses with one ear missing... I for one actually do not trade anymore, as the trade-part of it lost it's appeal for this very reason... Yes, the journey to the cache, and the views from there is what you will remember for a long time after wards, but I don't really like the idea of a micro on top of a mountain... It sort of feels like a bit of a cop-out... Just my 2 cents worth...

Don't tell me there was a canon inside one of the Athlone towers....

To those I know, and those that I will know soon... Best wishes for Christmas and the new Year...

Nice one Tomtwogates... The next one will be the Makulu one...

I did 5 FTF's before work this morning, and spend the rest of the day frustrated that I have to work, and can't go and find all 90 SSs.... The ones I found thus far was excellent hides... We're talking custom made cache jobbies here... I stand amazed at the amount of effort that must have gone into this series... I'm just wondering who will be the first to break into SS:Shipwreck... And how long will it take... Guess only time will tell... Sorry Trev, I'm out tomorrow and Sunday... I'll line some up for next week again, but the FTF's would be drying up soon I guess....

SawaSawa. 500 is a big one... And you chose a Super Cache for this milestone too... (Orpheus in the Underworld). Well Done, and wishing you many many more..

Battlerat & Pussycat Very quietly notched up no 1500.. Well done..
