    I got some $2 but I do not know how much they are worth....

     

    Umm... $2.00 maybe? :laughing:

     

    I think he was getting at them having some sort of numismatic value, above face.

     

    It has to do with quality and series - a really new $2 bill wouldn't be worth much (if any) more than face though.

    I know. I was just being very literal, as a joke! :laughing::laughing::D

    don't multi caches still have to have stages .1 miles apart and I prolly would have considered that had the reviewer suggested it

    I am planning on making a multi next spring and I sent a message to Groundspeak and this is what they said about .1 multi stages:

     

    "Hello,

     

    Thank you for writing in. All stages for the multi-cache will need to follow the .1 mile rule when you're placing a new cache. You'll want to check the area to ensure that no other mystery caches or multi-caches have stages within .1 miles.

     

    I hope this helps!

     

    Best Regards,

    Annie"

     

    So yes.

     

    Yes, if you read what Annie actually wrote, it reads "You'll want to check the area to ensure that no other mystery caches or multi-caches have stages within .1 miles."

     

    This means that you need to make sure that all the physical stages of YOUR CACHE are at least 0.1 miles from all the physical stages of OTHER MYSTERY CACHES OR MULTI-CACHES. It doesn't say anything about the stages of a single multi-cache.

     

    ALL STAGES NEED TO BE .1 mile from ANY CACHE or stage of multi or mystery answer.

     

    Read the bold in my Quote of my first post in this thread.

    It doesn't say anything about the stages of a single multi-cache.

     

    Read again MM

    Thanks but I know what it says .... backwards and forwards.

     

    Perhaps you are just misinterpreting it.

     

    As Markwell has pointed out in GREAT detail (thanks, Markwell!), all stages of a multi must comply with the 0.1 mile guideline FROM OTHER CACHES and STAGES of OTHER CACHES. Within a single multi, the stages can be on top of each other with no separation at all.

     

    Good luck with your cache. :huh:

    Oh okay so the rule is: All stages of the multi must follow the .1 mile rule. The stages can't be less than .1 mile from the answer to a mystery or other regular, multi cache, or stages to another multi. BUT the stages in your multi can be less than .1 from each other.

     

    Now is this correct?

    Dashing to the Cache,

    on a pair of broken skis,

    to the cache we go,

    Before a Muggle sees!

     

    My GPS lost signal,

    Twigs jabbed me in the eye,

    I got to find this cache,

    before it makes me cry!

     

    Oh, First to Finds,

    First to Finds,

    why do you hate me!

    whenever I go looking

    I get stuck into a tree.

     

    "Look a little harder"

    that was my rule of thumb.

    My dog found the cache real fast

    it made me look so dumb!

     

    Signed the log real swiftly,

    my hands were getting numb,

    I got out of there as Quickly as I had Come!

     

    Oh, First to Finds,

    First to Finds,

    why do you hate me!

    whenever I go looking

    A muggle catches me!

     

    to the tune of jingle bells

    Request: Log filters

    We have all seen these at the top of the log section of the cache listing.

     

    My idea is that these would be clickable links to filters in the logs.

     

    For example: say you wanted to see all the DNF logs. Just click on the smiley.

     

    this would make looking for Post reviewer notes & Disable/enable logs much easier to locate.

     

    anyone agree?

    Maybe folks who think it isn't racist should think about why so many folks here believe it is. Why would it get this adverse reaction?

    Because most of them support his views. Its not racism, its who is a Democrat or a Republican Democrats worship him, Republicans hate him.

    Most likely anyone who finds it racist is a Dem.

    Those who find it funny are most likely moderates or Rep.

    I know people who have been called a racist by their peers just because they voted for McCain.

    Now tell me. Is this "racist" because the Obama picture obviously is.

    GOOD GRAVY! Why has this thread gone as far as it has?! Oh wait, I know...free speech and all that jazz.

     

    First of all, those of us that cache in Western North Carolina know of the bad blood, feelings, what-have-you, between Ozguff and Atrus. This is another ridiculous attempt to ruffle feathers.

     

    Of course Ozguff got some negatives toward Atrus because...ssshhh....the man in the picture is of...ssshhh...color and GASP, he is the president too. Open any paper, magazine or watch any late night comedy show and I'm sure you will see some of the same "comedic expression" concerning the very same man. So people get over it! It's comedy. Objectionable is why it was brought up in the first place. There have been worse things I've come across caching but I certainly wouldn't call someone on it. I think the option to post a pic was a fun way to mix it up and makes reading the logs alot more fun since most have become quite lazy. TFTC!

     

    Ozguff knows how I feel about him and Atrus. I consider both to be friends. Ozguff has been kind enough to maintain caches for me and has shown me friendship during a hard personal time. Atrus and his wife have been so helpful during my divorce that I will feel indebted to them forever. I just wish the nit-picking would stop.

     

    I was told about this thread by another caching friend and wanted to voice an opinion from someone that knows both parties. I see nothing good about a thread like this and would request it be closed. All that can be said or helpful has been said. Anything else is just for spite and hurtfulness. (and some of you are concerned about a picture of a someone that doesn't even know you personally) If it wasn't a post you would make, how bad is it REALLY? Ya know, in the GRAND SCHEME OF THINGS! If you are worried about racism or objectiveness try remembering this is a game! If your not having fun then find another playground. If you wanna call someone out, look at your own posts to people you don't even know. Some of you are just mean to be mean. You might as well be a racist of Italians. BTW, Atrus is 100% Italian.
