  1. Planet I am sorry for your loss you have my condolences.

     

    In crzycrzy defense he didn't actually describe it as being fun in this thread or in his log post.

  2. I believe the standard we agreed on was when meeting another geocacher, one was to yell "Ho, are ye a geocacher?" and the correct response is "Yay I am".

     

    Upon the confirmation, the two then approach each other, put their left arm on the other person's right shoulder, standing arm's length and dance around in a circle while skipping and singing (very loudly) "Geocachers are we! He-he-he! Yaba baba daba. Runny, money, me!". At least that's the way we do it in New Jersey.

    There are things I would pay money to see. THIS, is one of those things.

  3. So are we saying that SIZE DOES MATTER?

    Yes, size matters but it gets tricky when you try to apply a rule because that requires measurements which are represented by numbers. As we all know, its not about the numbers. So size matters until an actual measurement is made, then size doesn't matter because the 'not about the numbers' thing voids it out.

  4. I beleive that physical caches take precedence over virtuals. If you were to place a physical cache within .1 mile of a virtual, the physical would win out and cause the virt to be archived.......I think.

    Is this like rock-paper-scissors?

     

    Virt Beats Micro

    Micro Beats Traditional

    Traditional beats Virt

     

    Have to try that out later. :)

  5. Briansnat and MrkaBlooey -

     

    Thank you both for expressing your views. Your attitudes and friendliness are exactly what I hope to find at a cache event and exactly why I still hang in the forums. Your both right about meeting folks in person and I vow to give the locals a chance to be 'real' people not just acsii characters.

     

    On a side note, what Desert_Warrior said about in persons struck a chord. Sunday Ani and I went to the shooting range. Ohio's CC goes legal April 7th and everyone and their cousin is at the range. 1 hour wait. Normally I'd bail, but Ani was excited about putting some rounds through her new S&W 357. (Excellent pistol BTW, I was VERY impressed with it.) Must be 30 people in the shop area waiting and you'd think people would start getting cranky. No way, nicest group of folks you can imagine. Men offering their chairs to women, folks opening doors for each other, please, thank you and Yes Ma'am/Sir all around. I'll make note of the contrast next time I am waiting for a table at my favorite eatery. :)

  6. I get the very distinct impression locally that not belonging to the 'group' or having 1000 finds flags me as unworthy. Everytime an Event cache comes up in the area I think about going but never do

     

    I wonder what gives you that impression. Having never been to an event, how do you know how people react to you? Go to an event and you might be surprised by the warm welcome you'll get.

     

    That impression has been formed through e-mail communications, forum posts (Regional), Forum posts (Group Websites) and by logs (other caches and mine). Despite my submissive demeanor and tact in the forums :rolleyes: I am actually a relatively outgoing person and friendly a guy. The local groups may all be great folks in person, but they surely haven't done much ONLINE to make me want to stand face to face with them and try to have a conversation.

     

    I know in this area we go out of our way to welcome newcomers and encourage them to come to events and other get-togethers. I'm sure its the same everywhere.

     

    I wish I could agree. :ph34r:

  7. I get the very distinct impression locally that not belonging to the 'group' or having 1000 finds flags me as unworthy. Everytime an Event cache comes up in the area I think about going but never do. If it wasn't for the 'Ambasadors of the Sport' here in the forums I would think that Geocaching is full of elitist snobs. I suspect many of our lurkers feel the same.

  8. I have no grand illusions that I would be missed other than a few local cachers that I have had the pleasure to meet. :rolleyes:

    Hah, our local cachers don't even respond to my e-mails. Wonder why I never joined any of the 6.5 local cache groups we have in SW Ohio?

    Come to think of it my local Approver doesn't even approve my caches, its always been Keystone leaning over the state line. Thats IT! I quit! :ph34r:

     

     

     

    The above comment is a joke. I mean no offence and have never had a problem with an apporver or admin. (Except that one wild weekend, CO Admin why don't you ever call me?) In reality the only time that I have a problem is when I spend too much time in the forums and not enough OUTSIDE.
