Does anyone know what the GC number is for the first cache placed? Looking at Oregon the oldest I see is GC12, but that was placed on 5-12-00 nine days later. I am guessing that it is archived and I will need some help figuring it out.
Original Stash Tribute Plaque Cache
Don't leave any TBs there. It's well known by muggles and the TBs will be gone in a flash. Have fun!
Thats the 2003 replacement cache at the original site, but not the original cache.

Personally...
The Waymarking site needs a makeover. A search like GC would be nice. The ability to downloaad PQ's of my favorite catigories and go find them would be great.
I would not mind the return of Virtuals, if the standards were high enough, but then who decides. Allow everything and we end up with Waymarking on GC.com. A reviewer in Nevada may allow a lot of things where one in Iowa may not. Too subjective. Get around that, and have them not on every house, rock, walmart, etc. Perferably fix the Waymarking site so you can have fun with it, and get rid of Walmarts, Wendy's and useless items.

Any word on them getting the site up and running?
I called today about an order and had no luck getting through.
A quote from Aaron on the 12th " we are getting ready to get the website back up, hopefully, by the end of next week". So hopefully just a few more days. In the mean while you can email him through his Profile . I know he is very anxious to get everything back up and going.
If there is anything any of us distributors can do, let us know. I know Dale & Barb are on here a little more and can help you out also.
Just awkward timing. Our BSA council here in Utah started selling the coins last Friday. They turned out fantastic (thanks guys). The downside is about 1/2 of them are being bought by non cachers. So it is hard to explain the server down, and how they work. We made some fliers to explain how they work, but they are not much help yet. Here is the fantastic job..
Two thumbs up on their work and quality. I loved the copper one so i threw that pic in.

Hi firennice here...
I designed the coin and got it put together for our Council (Coins and Pins made them for us). We will be selling them at the service center (not the National BSA store) in Orem, Vernal, Richfield, Moab?, Cedar City, St. George and another i cannot remember. Though if you are traveling you might want to call ahead. They should be available in Orem by Monday, at at the other locations in the following week.
Silver will only be available to a few as gifts (Governer, Council President, etc), and as prizes in our Get in the Game geocaches. We will put caches out and when you find them you will email a photo and your name and address to qualify for the coin drawing every month (8-10 coins).
The Bronze and Copper will be up for sale in the service centers at $10+tax so about $10.70. I had not got a personal setup to get them out, but I can start working on it.

deleted double post

I just grabbed one out of the group - check the maps.
Heart of the desert GC1F6XA - 21 caches.
BaseBall Diamond - GCGAY7 - 21 caches
Scout series - GC1T2J3 - 52 caches.

I am assuming it will be trackable...
Pull the 10 years of Geocaching from the back.. replace with Trackable on Geocaching.com and you need a spot of the #'s
That has to be there as well. I forgot on a coin I was working on and was reminded.

I felt this deserved its own thread.
The new Earthcache guidelines state that a photo with a person in it cannot be required.
I have to say that this is a HORRIBLE idea, and a step in the wrong direction for eartcaching. I totally agree that there should be a series of answers to log a cache. However at some point those answers get out into the community, then anyone and everyone can log the earthcache from wherever they are.
The only way to prevent someone from logging while they are sitting in a couch 12000 miles away is by asking for both. If I cannot do that as an earthcache owner, like the people that are fighting off bogus loggers on V Virtuals you have tied my hands, and opened the door for problems down the road.
Please, please, please, allow me to require a photo so I can quickly and easily prove if someone is cheating.
-
If its just a micro log I will replace. I usually snap a picture of the log and post online.
If its a larger one I leave the moldy crap behind with a new one.

I personally think the idea of going to different States/Countries are inherently unfair in the Masters program. Cachers from large states/countries (Texas, Alaska, some western states, and in some countries) are at a distinct disadvantage. Not to mention smaller areas cut off (Hawii, Pacific Islands). Yet others have travel restrictions that make travel out of their country impossible, or difficult. A cacher in the eastern US could do this on a Sunday drive, while others would spend thousands of dollars to accomplish the same goal.
It would be better served to have levels for caches found, (up the numbers), rather then the traveling to other countries, states.
I'm from Texas and yet have managed to find Earthcaches in 14 different states and 3 foreign countries. Yeah, it wasn't easy (or cheap), so point taken. How about a recognition for finding at least one of each of the 20 different categories of Earthcaches? There's already a Challenge Geocache for accomplishing this!
It is possible, (obviously) but its just not fair around the world.

what is an OT post?
In the "Off Topic" forum
-
blah blah blah blah
I thought I would check back.
Wow it goes on and on.. saying nothing. Let go of it already. Go do something constructive.
-
Wow I think anything usefull was left behind about page 4 maybe 5 if we were lucky..
at this point, I think people are talking to waste electrons, hear themselves, push their counts up, or just annoy each other.

All the other threads went poof... so this one should as well.

I cannot believe he would not have sent a picture with his appeal, or here on the board, unless there was never a cache there, or he is quickly making one that would appear to be a year and a half of work so he can post it.
Seems fishy to me.
-
? so you have to load IE7, then Compatibility, then greasemonkey, then the program? is that the steps now?
-
I missed about 1/2 of my pq's as well?
-
Send an email. congratulate him on his cheating. enough peer pressure might annoy him.

I asked some of the same questions today at the UTAG site, about the interest here. They are pretty rare in the mountain west it seems, although I did buy a batch of 20 for my WWFM this fall, to give away.

In regards to revisiting caches for TBs, I wouldn't mind you revisiting for leaving TB's, however if you wanted to take one I would want you to drop one. It would get annoying if a local cacher kept cleaning out my hotel.
It may be your hotel but they are not your bugs. Most people that own trackables prefer that they move and not sit in a hotel.
I agree 100% ... I want my bugs to move.
If the cache was disabled by the owner for maintenance, I might move one or two bugs, but not place one, If a reviewer disabled it, I may clean it out because it looks like it may go away. Move them all. Yet it really depends on the situation.
There used to be only a few TB hotels, now there are 100 within 20 miles, everyone wants one, or two. They allways seem to get raided.

if that does not work, there may be something funky with your computer that is not allowingyou to connect to it.
Most the Utah chatter takes place there, and not here.
