FYI, I found out this week that winning the grand prize of the Jeep 4x4 Geocaching Challenge does not guarantee that the grand prize vehicle is a 4x4. When I found out it was a 4x2 I asked them if I could get something of equivalent value in a 4x4 (I mean, I live in Utah and it snows quite a bit here, and hey, I'm into geocaching, so I'm not exactly the type that stays on paved roads or stays home just because there is a blizzard outside). Anyway, when you see a photo of me next to a Grand Cherokee (4x4) don't be suprised that it isn't a commander.

I wondered if it had. With so many geocachers out there, I'm sure i'm not the first to think of that. Without the ability to search, it really can be difficult to find the answer to something. Thanks!

I've recently begun playing with the ability to view caches in Google Earth using the KML provided by Geocaching.com. What a great feature! I do have an enhancement request though. Wouldn't it be great if you could set it to display only caches that you HAVEN'T found? Or maybe it could display caches you have found using a different icon? Does this sound feasible?

Call me impatient, but I couldn't wait. I went down this morning and test drove a Commander. What a sweet ride! My preference is the midnight blue with the grey on khaki seats. The one I drove had a sunroof, DVD player and Nav System. I hope I am not making anyone drool too much, but I really did enjoy it. Thanks for all of the nice words and compliments from everyone! I really don't think that my picture was any better than any of yours. You all deserve the Jeep as much as I, so I really appreciate the support and kind words. It's great to be part of such a great community with the likes of you!

Here's what I know: Yesterday, I got an email from clatmandu asking me if I'd won and congratulating me if I had. This was news to me. Today I got an email from someone else saying they had suspected that I had one because they noticed some communication between Alcone (sp?) and I after Christmas. How they noticed there was communication via FedEx between Alcone and I, I still don't know, but they were requesting a copy of my drivers license because I didn't notice in the prior communication that I was supposed to include it. Today I got a phone call from Dodge Marketing asking me what color of Jeep Commander I would like. I also talked with Alcone who assured me that I was the winner and that a letter is on the way. So, I still haven't received the "official" letter, but it sounds like I won! Hooray for me!
