  1. OK, it DOES say that they are not currently accepting new proposals in the pinned note, but there are so many proposals here, that I wanted to get mine out there before someone else beats me to it. Or perhaps they already have? I haven't seen it in my searches, but how about a place full of named bricks? You know the kind: Some place is trying to raise funds for a new building or some other purpose, and they say tell you that for $100 or whatever, they will put your name on a brick in the entry sidewalk. I can think of 3 or 4 places that I go all the time that have these bricks in the entryway, and I have seen several more on vacation etc.

     

    Thoughts, anyone?

     

    How soon will they be accepting these?

    I think it's a neat idea. And just so you know, they are not actively seeking proposals, but every now and then, a proposal does get through.

  2. what about public access concerns? many are on the tops of buildings--especially in urban areas--and only the people who use it would know it was there.....so you waymark the helipad on your building, how would i be able to log it?

    The same way in which you log a benchmark you cannot reach, such as on top of a building. If you know it's there, and you're in the right place, you got it.

     

    In urban cases, I think making it to the applicable building is close enough to log a visit.

  3. To those of us who are involved in military, EMS, or Fire/Rescue careers, there has been a need at one time or another to locate a nearby helicopter landing pad. I know that in my many years of working as an EMT, I have had to airlift a handful of critical patients.

     

    So, just like having a category for firehouses, why not have an equally important and useful category for helicopter landing pads (or helipads)?

     

    Example:

     

    Click For Photo

     

    This category would have to be restricted to physical landing pads that are marked as such, typically with an H and/or a visible windsock.

     

    Any ideas? :rolleyes:

  4. I'm still a much bigger supporter of FRS / GMRS radios for Geocaching. They're underused in the field and are universal and free. In other words, there's no plans to pay for, and everybody can have different radios that are all compatable. If more people would carry them around in the field, I think that Geocaching would be more fun, and in some cases, safer.

     

    Just my ideas on the subject.

     

    BTW, I am a Verizon wireless customer, and I have been for some time now. Great service. :huh:
