Yeah yeah rub it in opalsns! Just cos you got the last two.... huh!

Ooops didn't read that properly so.... GONE Tip: Teach him to walk properly on a leash- at heel- so he doesn't pull all the time (I used to have a beagle/ fox terrier cross only dog I've owned) then he will be good enough to let little one walk him! (and won't pull her over or anything)

I'm new Be aware of bikes around you

Be aware of bikes around you! (please?)

Another idea for a name- Gone As in Dog gone, cache gone, where's that log gone LOLOL

Be Aware of Bikes Around You! I'm a biker too... or will be when I get another scooter to replace the one that was trashed two weeks ago... I had all my kit on and bounced... mega bruises though

LOL I love them! What a great list!

Stage Two email sent- hope it was worth the hard work! This has taken me most of today No hope on 19 or 20 but I am still plodding away with an idea!

ARGHHHHHHHHHHH! Only need one more answer and then I can submit... back to the search! This is getting addictive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do I get the chance to win half a coin for having half the answers???? Still plodding on..... 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 12, 14, and the last elusive three still lacking *sigh* Edit: Well slap me silly d'oh! I should have read what opalsns said and took notice of it.... managed to solve 4 and 5 within seconds of writing this message.... nearly three quarters done

I've always liked the nickname Deefur - d for dog He's a cutie! Good luck with him!

Still stuck on 1,2,3,4,5,10,11,12,14,18,19 and 20. Well at least I have a few more than I did earlier! Braaaaiiiin mellllllltinnnnng

Okay you twisted my arm opalsns.... 9 was the first one I got being a Brit ... I'm still stuck on most of the others LOL but giving it another try!

Oh boy- you were right wavector, they are getting hard much quicker! I'm pleased though that I got the answers right for the first round! I can identify some of the photos here easily but I guess I will have to spend a couple of hours in research and get back to you! Well done snowball58! Edited three hours later- Sorry but I give up, I have 3 answers and I really don't think I can get anymore as i haven't been here long enough to know some of these people and photos. Have fun and good luck everyone for the rest of this cointest

Oh cool thanks Cav Scout I will have to get my thinking cap on and do some serious research! One of the universities in the UK comes to Cyprus with its Geology degree students every year to study the rocks in different places so I will have to see about contacting them and finding out where they go and if they might be interested in Earth caching too to see stuff they might not know about. There is also a national geology group and some local agro-tourism places that could be good to link up to! SO many possibilities!

I've been reading through tons of stuff on this site for the last couple of weeks and noticed a distinct lack of local EarthCaches- none on the island of Cyprus as far as I can tell. There are some amazing rock formations and mineral deposits on the island and it would be great to mark some of them so visiting cachers get to see some of the island other than the beaches and archaeology. Here is a link to some of the technical geology information http://www.geologyrocks.co.uk/tutorials/geology_of_cyprus There are also some geological anomalies- like a road that you can stop a car on and appear to be going backwards uphill due to local rock formations; and the local coastline here in Pafos, where you can see shells that were deposited millenia ago before Cyprus was pushed out of the sea by plate tectonics. There are also copper mines, Serpentinite (sp?) deposits, very soft limestones (they carve as though they are chalk almost), asbestos mines, erratics and more. So..... if I want to research some sites for local Earth caches do I have to worry that there isn't a local reviewer for them as far as I can tell. I know I'd have to check the GPS co-ordinates several times as we only have a very old Garmin 12 unit and have to do lots of research into geology so I knew what I was talking about- but do you think it will be worth it???? Any hints or tips? I saw the pdf documents about using EC's in the classroom/ for education but I can't download them at present as my laptop is running out of space! any help or feedback much appreciated!

Thanks for the heads up about the Facebook Group geoaware

We have a Country Mineral here in Cyprus- the island was named after the amazing amount of Copper that was found here. We also get a version of Serpentine, and some Iron Ore (can't remember which one....)

did it work this time?

Good to hear there is a few things that help link up GPSr units to Linux OH is currently running Suse- while wishing he hadn't got rid of OS/2- hes seriously thinking of going back to eCs or OS/2 Warp 4 as he has one of the last of the shelf packs that was available in the UK We only have a Garmin 12 so no problems with maps or anything- it find waypoints easily enough- not as accurate as some of the modern units are but it *is* nearly 10 years old- connects via Serial port just for firmware updates as and when needed. The Garmin was bought for sailing navigation but we're using it fine for geocaching (ha ha only one cache found so far!)
