  1. I have found that many Waymarks are listed in more than one category. I have also experienced the difficulty and frustration of searching for an existing Waymark or Category. I was asked if I would be in the group The Golden Wheel and help with this category proposal. I fully support it and believe it would benefit the Waymarking global community and fits into the original mission of Waymarking.
  2. Yes, you can do a typical search and filter for events, but that’s assuming you know about events and are taking time to do a search. I’m referring to the quick search from the homepage that brings up newest caches near you. It’s a wonderful quick tool, but doesn’t include events.
  3. I contacted HQs support and they’re looking at my input but suggested that I share here to get feedback from other Geocachers. When I click on Newest Caches on the Geo homepage, it doesn’t include events. I understand that events are available for a limited time, but I also know that many new Geocachers aren’t even aware of events. I believe events help newbies get connected with their Geo community and improve their knowledge and skills about the game. I’d like to see events included in the newest caches search link on the homepage.

    GWZ or GWC?

    Thank you, Hügh, Your tip was the answer I needed. I wish HQ's was as good at answering questions about Wherigos. Kathy

    GWZ or GWC?

    I told HQ that the GWZ link was broken and that I was unable to download the necessary file to update my Wherigo cartridge... HQ's reply... "Hello gramakitty- Thank you for contacting Geocaching HQ. The following apps can be used to find Wherigo Caches: iPhone: Wherigo® Android: WhereYouGo Geooh Go At this time we are not able to provide technical support for Wherigo Caches. Please try posting your question in the Wherigo forums. Geocachers in these forums can usually provide you with the best support. If you would like to see information about the January 2021 launch of the iPhone Wherigo app, please see this forum thread. Best regards, Adam Community Coordinator" I'm not a happy Geocacher right now...

    GWZ or GWC?

    I just read this thread and appreciate the step-by-step directions given by Tungstène, I just updated my tour cartridge and the GWZ link in the build site downloads a ZIP file instead. The Zip ink downloads a zip file and the GWC link downloads a GWC file, but I need a GWZ file to upload the changes I made to my cartridge. Is there another work around? thanks
  8. More good suggestions - more research for me to complete. Thanks again for your help.
  9. Thanks for all of the suggestions. I did submit the curio shop under vintage gas stations repurposed. Route 66 The Mother Road attractions must 1920-1984 vintage but Scenic By-ways is a possibility. All of the vendors are independent local businesses. Yes, I took pictures of the murals and the car. I’m not sure how the robot is constructed. It actually looks like a large piñata. I may have several more waymarks to submit.
  10. The curio shop has a 21’ Muffler Man (I created a Waymark for him: Buck Atom Space Cowboy Muffer Man on 66), painted murals on the fence and an approximately 10’ tall yellow robot by the door. The Mother Road Market also has a mural and there’s a painted car.
  11. I have two items that I need help choosing the correct category. First is Buck Atom’s Cosmic Curios, a vintage curio shop with Route 66 merchandise that opened in 2018. It’s located in an old 1950’s Pemco Gas Station on Route 66 in Tulsa, OK. The second is The Mother Road Market, 1124 S. Lewis Ave., a nonprofit project of the Lobeck Taylor Family Foundation, featuring more than 20 restaurants and retail concepts. This includes some names Tulsans are familiar with, like Andolini’s, and others that are new. Some of the newcomers were part of Kitchen 66, a program of the Lobeck Taylor Family Foundation that kickstarts Tulsans with great restaurant or food concepts, giving them kitchen space and business training. Now some of those Kitchen 66 graduates, including Bakeshop, Bodhi’s Bowl and Big Dipper Creamery, have space at Mother Road Market. It has Route 66 murals and merchandise too but its main focus is local vendors. Thanks for your help, Gramakitty aka Kathy
