A new AL published in honor of Travis's first Cache Machine. These are logs from the caches he found on that day. They are all along the route. All answers can be found in each of the stage description.

on our way to silverdale did  a little of the route, 

 

GC8ae66 Thunderbird and Chop-ter the parking lots were closed the furthest lot at for the beans was open.

GC8gvqe Happy Happy Harry was a DNF for us and GZ was pretty trashy. 

I have messaged the CO to see if he will check on it before tomorrow on Happy, Happy, Happy.

The bookmark and  Cachetur have been updated as of 4:30 pm on 1/6/23.

It would be nice to have a final... concerns I have is a number of caches are on or near electrical boxes will these left on the route or not. Geocaching has asked for caches around electrical to be temp disabled because of the recent sabotage. Yes they are most concerned about transfer stations BUT I did a electrical box once the night before the CM came through and next morning NO one found it, on the way back to the hotel after dinner I found the box was, well shredded, I assume by searchers.

 

Travis has been late getting a final out but he was always good about posting what we have is what about earlier drafts, so travelers on Friday coming for the event were aware... alas a few have asked about a final and it's been crickets. Some of us will be unable to attend the Friday event to get any new info and have to rely on what is posted to have the most updated info. I get this is a major undertaking and so happy someone took it on but communications is important when so many might be traveling from afar to undertake this event.

I had a little bit of chat with Brad late this evening. I am aware that he may be making  dropping then adding cache. It is actually Quadsinthemudd, Brad, has been making this route. 

I will make sure that any changes will be posted on here as soon as they are released.

I know that a number of the local cachers in the area have been checking on caches and making sure they are accessible and that there is adequate parking, etc.  I don't know what changes to the route that will/should make.

 

I know that @SeabeckTribe is also hosting a mid-route event which is not on the list yet since it was published after the initial list came out in early December.  It should slot in after the virtual cache (GC9P5WJ) The Kitsap 9/11 Memorial Project.

Yes several of us have reached out to many of the CO's.  I know that Sleckr is going to do run on Friday to check his.  I believe that is one cache getting dropped off but another added in its place. The CO will provide a TOTT for access the container. 

Yes my event https://coord.info/GCA376H is at the Evergreen park  where the Kitsap 911 Memorial is at.  There will be bathrooms also near by.

@quadsinthemudd - Any idea when the next draft route will be posted?  I'm sure that there will be last minute changes to the route, but any updates that you have will help for those of us who are OCD planners.

I have sent him a message asking for an update on drafts.

[20th Cache Machine Anniversary Bremerton III January 7th]

After scrolling down from the beginning I found a few edited posts so I could take a few names from the list just above this one

 

 

Only one day left for postal service, at least in my neck of the woods

 

The following participants didn't send their mission or haven't say so.

 

Just let me know if there are any changes and write a new post with your updated status

I did mail both of mine on Monday with an arrival date of Saturday, Dec 24th.  I am so glad I did it when I did, because the area got hit with a snow storm and I haven't been out since Monday afternoon.

I'm looking forward to this one quite a lot.  At the moment, https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC8KR8F (stop #52) is missing and disabled. As @DiscGolfBirdie is an active participant in this discussion, I'm guessing there's a decent chance it will get replaced.

Yes she is very aware and working on getting it back up and running plus going to check on the others. Right know the Bremerton area got hit with snow and lots of very ice side roads. I know she will be getting out and checking once it is safer to be on the roads.

Thank you DireWold821 for the card, pathtags, coin and of course the sweets.

Local cache owners are excitedly watching the progress of the cache machine plans.  It happens that we are getting together this coming Saturday afternoon (17th) in Silverdale.  Is there anything that you need from us?  If anyone has additional hide plans for locations along the route, we should get those published soon, right?

 

Personally, I am happy to see my Virtual at the Navy Undersea Museum in Keyport on the list.  I think it will be a nice dry spot, if it is raining, and a decent pit stop, though I am thinking that I should alert the volunteers there that visitors may be in a rush!

 

Looking forward to the fun.  Thanks for organizing!

 

I am super excited that your caches are on the route.  Yes, it would be a great idea to let them know. Would you be willing to contact them and give them heads up that there may be people coming in mostly on Saturday, but also on Friday and/or Sunday. I will chat with you on Saturday.
