    Geokätkennästä uusi artikkeli

    geokätkentää

     

    Geokätkentä, kyllä kalskahtaa korvaan. Ei tämä ole pelkkää piilottamista.

     

    Geocaching = Geokätköilyä

    Geocacher = Geokätköilijä

     

    Täytyy kompata ja täysillä. Toivottavasti jatkossa perusterminologia on väitöskirjassa oikein.

    Nyt nuo löydöt koristavat pienen entisöinnin jälkeen olohuoneen nurkkaa katajaisessa telineessään.

     

    Olisikos mahdollista saada kuva näytille? Ovat varmastikin hienot.

     

    Lisäsin ikiliikkujan lokiin tuon kuvan. "Taideteoksen" nimi on Tinun rukki.

     

    En tiedä miten tämän kuvan kanssa käy tässä yhteydessä mutta sieltä kätkökuvauksesta se ainakin löytyy.

    Uskomattoman hyvän näköiset ja hyvin entisöity. Ite kun kans tykkään kaikesta wanhasta ja noi kuulosti varsin mielenkiintoisilta löydöiltä. Kiitos tämän jakamisesta!

    Ite mietin vähän vastaavia viimeksi kun Riihimäeltä on yksi mysterypurkki tullut löydettyä ja logattua lokikirjaan mutta lisätehtävää en ole suorittanut jonka suorittamisen jälkeen kätkön saa lokata netissä löydetyksi. Ja kun tykkään kans listata tasasataset ylös. Otin sitten sen kannan että Geocaching.comin statistiikka määrittää löydettyjen kätköjeni määrän, oli tarkka tilanne sitten +-1 tai jotain. Helpottaa kummasti varsinkin näin hatarapäistä.

    Siis Töysän korkein kohta on Tohninmäki eikä tuo listalle eksynyt

    Hmmm... Tohninmäki on listalla mainitusta hieman pohjoiseen.

    Tässä on paikka määritetty karttapaikan tms. käyrästön mukaan ja kartalla nimi näkyy näin.

    Netistä löytyy myös poikkeavaa korkeustietoa, mutta, mutta...

     

    En nyt oikein ymmärrä mitä uhoamista siinä on jos toteaa että Töysän korkein kohta on toinen kuin listalle epämääräisistä syistä päätynyt. Kaikki töysäläiset kuitenkin tietää että Töysän korkein kohta on legendaarinen Tohninmäki.

    ... Haluaisinkin laajentaa reststop-käsitystä ottamalla tiekirkot mukaan...

     

    Todellinen final rest stop... :D

     

    Aikuisten oikeesti ihan kannatettava ajatus.

     

    -mielellään EI kiviaidassa eikä muussakaan "huonossa" paikassa (epäkohteliasta niin aidan omistajalle ja kätköilijällekin, joka pahimmassa tapauksessa purkaa puolet aidasta)

     

    Tätä ei voi tuoda esille liikaa. Turhan useiden kiviaitojen purkuoperaatioon on tullut törmättyä.

    Ja sitten, onko järkeä tilata Suomesta, jos hinta nousee yli 450 euron? Erätukusta saa 60 Cx:n viiteensataan ja siinä tulee jo kunnon kartta mukana?

     

    Jep. Mun ílmoittautuminen tilaajaksi koskee tuota amerikan versiota, ei eurooppalaista/suomalaista.

    Earthcaches

    in Finland

    Posted · Edited by hikerbiker...

    Thanks about your interest!

     

    My GSAK lists four Earthcaches in Finland of which two have been lately arhieved due to not fufilling the regulations. For me it is not clear what is missing and if I compare the cache descriptions to the two accepted ones, I cannot see the difference !
    I was able to only find the two active ones. Based on my understanding, the two active ones will be archived as well. It looks like geoaware hasn't even looked at them yet otherwise there would be a note from him on the page.

     

    The issue is the logging requirement. Pictures only are no longer accepted. If some form of measurement, observation of the geology of the area, guess at the reason why the formation exists or was formed, or request for geologic information from a informational sign needs to be included in the logging requirement.

     

    I know that my Earthcache do not meet the _recent_ guidelines. But the point is that every Finnish Earthcache met the guidelines while approved, therefore I think that they all supposed to be "grandfathered". Now three of them are dead already and rest of them will too if geoaware will someday point out his/her awareness to them. I can not find any way to modificate my Earthcache to meet recent guidelines because everything information which that site gives away on cache site is available on internet. So how an earth I should modificate that? If it won't be grandfathered then it will die like the others.

     

    And I can imagine that every Earthcache in Finland met the same kind of difficulties. It is not too easy to built an Earthcache which fulfill recent guidelines. To modificate older ones, perhaps it is impossible? Too bad because everyone of the dead ones were on very specific places.

     

    5. Logging of EarthCaches must involve visitors undertaking some educational task. This could involve them measuring or estimating the size of some feature or aspect of the site, collecting and recording some data (such as time of a tidal bore), or searching and sending via email to the developer, some fact that they find from signage. Developers should try to involve visitors in learning from the site … rather than just logging a visit. Logs should show that the visitors have 'learnt' by visiting your EarthCache.

    does not make it clear enough, but the problem may offcourse be my poor talent of English language.

     

    Anything else you can make me understand the rules better will help again !!

    Thax alot!!

    I think this requirement is vague on purpose to allow a variety of verification methods. I've seen measuring flow from a well, counting the number of features in a given area, comparing the shape of volcanoes to idealized drawings, obtaining the age of a rock formation from signs, estimating the direction of wind flow from crossbedded sandstone, guessing how the rock was squeezed based on folds in the rock,....

     

    You can be as creative as you want, just so long as the visitor appears to need to do some thinking.

     

    Anyway the points I gave above was not the reason why I started this topic. The answers given here on this topic hopefully enlighten the questions which the new guidelines might give. Hopefully here in Finland will be plenty of interesting Earthcaches in the near future.

     

    Let the story continue, use your imagination. B)

    Earthcaches

    in Finland

    Posted

    As it seems it is not so well known that Earthcaches are back! And I'd like to see them more here in Finland.

     

    This is nowadays the only cache type you can list on GC.com site where are not hidden the cache box. The cache site is the thing and earthcache has to have some educational geology aspect. More from the guidelines:

     

    _____

     

    EarthCache Guidelines

    1. EarthCaches must provide earth science lessons. They take people to sites that can help explain the formation of landscapes or to sites of interesting phenomena such as folds, faults, intrusions or reveal how scientists understand our Earth (such as fossil sites etc.)

    2. EarthCaches must be educational. They provide accurate but simple explanations of what visitors will experience at the site. Cache notes must be submitted and assume no previous knowledge of earth science. The educational notes must be written to a reading age of an upper middle school (14 year old) student. Additional technical or scientific notes can be provided for the scientific community. Please note appropriate place on the submittal form for the technical notes. All notes can be submitted in the local language but must also be in English.

    3. EarthCaches can be a single site, or a multiple virtual cache. No items, box, or physical cache can be left at the site.

    4. EarthCaches follow all the Waymarking and geocaching principles and adhere to the principles of Leave No Trace outdoor ethics. Use waypoints to ensure cachers take appropriate pathways. Use established trails only. Do not create new trails to a site in order to concentrate use impacts. EarthCaches will highlight the principle of collect photos - not samples. However, if there is no possible damage to a site which is outside of the public land system and approved by the site owner, small samples may be collected as part of the cache experience.

    5. Logging of EarthCaches must involve visitors undertaking some educational task. This could involve them measuring or estimating the size of some feature or aspect of the site, collecting and recording some data (such as time of a tidal bore), or searching and sending via email to the developer, some fact that they find from signage. Developers should try to involve visitors in learning from the site … rather than just logging a visit. Logs should show that the visitors have 'learnt' by visiting your EarthCache.

    6. EarthCaches developed on private and public land must have prior approval of the landowners before submission. EarthCaches developed in association with National Parks, National Forests, or other public lands are encouraged. These must have verbal or written approval with the appropriate land-managing agency. The name and contact details of the person from who you received approval MUST be given.

    7. All EarthCaches must be approved by GSA (to ensure appropriateness of the site and educational standard of the notes) before they can be submitted for approval via this website.

    8. The Geological Society of America retains the right to edit, modify, delete or archive any EarthCache that does not adhere to these guidelines, or for any other purpose, including for the promotion of sponsors for the EarthCache program.

    It is just so easy... :(

     

    Here is something more on the international forums:

    Earthcaches back?

     

    And here is the site where you can see earthcaches and list your own:

    Hauska aihe <_<

     

    Tyhjien pullojen ja kolikoiden lisäksi mieleen tulee

    - täysiä pulloja...

    - osia pesukoneeseen

    - reilu kymmenen metriä sähköjohtoa

    - armeijan tyhjä ammuslaatikko

    - aikuisten lehtiä

    - Ruduksen terästermos, nykyisin vakiona messissä mettäkeikoilla

    - Route 66 - Virrat kätkön purkki. (Löytyi muuten Turun mareografilta, entinen matopurkki...)

    - TB Lost'n'Found

    - huumekätkö

     

    Kaikki muut paitsi viimeisen otin kotio ja hyödynsin parhaaksi katsomallani tavalla. Paikallinen poliisi otti vastuun lopusta. :rolleyes:
