    Tb's That Hitched Hiked A Ride With Krew!

    in Trackables

    Posted

    This is for all of those that sent their TB's with Krew to travel with him on his move to Germany.

     

    :lol: You will be happy to learn that he has started to move them. We had all but given up hope seeing our TB's placed. We had emailed him many time with no response. With a helpful email from Fledermaus, Krew finally got back to us. Below, in part, is the email we recieved.

     

    Dear Seabeck Tribe,

     

    Please accept my apology for the excessive amount of time that I have neglected to move your geocaching game pieces. I do have your Travel Bugs DJ's Dreams and On The Wings Of A Dove and I intend to move them along between now and May 1, 2006 by placing them in one of two geocaches I have previously found near Heidelberg, Germany. I will have to spread out the placement over a period of time due to the small size of these individual geocache containers.

     

    Fledermaus ensured that I understood how much these TBs meant to you when I took them and I want you to know that I am ashamed of myself for keeping them out of play for such a long time. He made a great effort to teach me how to play this game in the right way. Please don't allow my mistakes to reflect on him.

     

    My original intent was to spread the joy of geocaching to members overseas as well as help U.S. geocachers collect mileage and interesting stories from abroad. There is no excuse for my poor game play. I simply have not prioritized your enjoyment of the game over many circumstances that have contributed to failing in my duties.

     

    Some specific personal situations I chose to focus on rather than moving your TBs include moving overseas and the disorganization associated with packing and unpacking, searching for housing, poor internet access, transportation challenges, language barriers, poor weather during the winter season, searching for employment, learning new job skills, poor health and family duties. I have also found it very difficult to locate geocaches with my GPS receiver. The geocaches I have found have been small (plastic containers) and about 100 meters away from the location indicated by my GPSr. I have used the clues or spoiler photos to locate my few finds and have not searched for many due to the descriptions being in German.

     

    While these situations proved challenging, I do not offer them as excuses. I take personal responsibility for my poor performance and ask for your forgiveness.

     

    Again, I am very sorry for spoiling your enjoyment of a great game and I intend to correct my actions as soon as possible.

     

    Thank you for your patience,

     

    Sincerely,

    Krew

     

    For those that have not seen their TB's moved should email Krew and express your encouragement of placing them soon.

     

    We want to personal thank Fledermaus for his help.

    Waymarking Challenge - Ends Sept 1, 2008

    Posted · Edited by SeabeckTribe

    OK... I'm blind! I went into the Waymark site. Looked under History/Culture: Historic Markers, World Heritage Sites. Nothing there about Washington Heritage Signs. Then went to Signs. NOTHING! Then to Waymarking Games. NOTHING there either! How about Memorials/Monuments. NO!

     

    So... am I missing something? Did I go to the wrong page? HELP :yikes:

     

    EDITED:

     

    OK...

     

    Don't believe only what you read on the Waymark Historic page!

     

    Don't jump to conclusions so soon!

     

    Do a search for "Washington Heritage Signs" before putting foot into mouth! :anicute:

    This one: http://www.asomf.org/gift_shop3.php?cat_id=5&p_id=895 looks like its the same one. I wonder what diameter that is.

    The Idaho State Police Challenge coin I have is 1 9/16". It is thicker that the standard 1 9/16" geocoin by 1/16". I would think that a standard 1 9/16" geocoin would fit in this coin holder.

    I like the idea of a coin holder. You can attach a laminated information card for those geocoin TBs. And especially for those personal coin that are out there traveling and have a personal tracking site. I think I'll order one just so we can display our personal geocoin from the rear view mirror while out caching. ;)

    I just talked to the lady responsible for the highway markers, Paula Connelley. She said that she only had a couple pamphlets left, because they are out of print. She said she would send me one. The reason that they are out of print is because some of the markers are gone, etc, and they want to eventually put the whole thing on the internet.

    I just got an email back from Paula Connelley. She said that she had no more phamplets :D and was in the process of updating it for posting on thier web site.

    Is there a chance the phamplet could be scanned for those of us that are unable to get one?

    Thanks

    It's a couple posts down from that one. And if you want the original image which is a bit bigger, just give me your email and I'll send it to you. B)

    Paula emailed me yesterday and she managed to scrounged up one more pamphlet and is sending it to me. I was interested on the marker on the Hood Canal since that is were I live. Haven't found any info on the net about one. So I guess I'll just have to take a drive around the loop. :lol: What a shame.... B) My tax client will just have to wait and extra day for their return.

    From pictures posted I now have an idea what to look for. But would still appreciate sending me the picture since it will be a few days before I recieve the pamphlet. Thanks seabecktribe@wavecable.com

    We just retrieved & placed this coin TB Sag Bug. It had a round type clamp that when you tighened the screw on top it would secure the coin. Almost looked something like a watch bob thing. You might ask the owner what he used and where you might find it.

    She spent last year finding out what sort of condition they are all in, and said that she will try and mark on my pamphlet which ones are still there. Unfortunately, she said that the markers are way down on the list of priorities for a government program, and it's mostly just her, so she works on them when she can.

     

    I told her all about Waymarking and this waymark, and she sounded happy about it. She shared with me how there are so many other types of markers in Wa state by other organizations. She said that they just completed a brand new series of markers last year that go all along the Lewis and Clark route in Washington state.

     

    I am excited to be a part of helping to create an internet database of these historical spots! :D

    We are going to be submitting the GeoPoker Run page for review this week. :D

     

    The Tribe

    :( Here's a link for the GeoPoker Run .

     

    We're really excited about hosting our first event. We see a lot of new names out in the caching world and hope to get to meet some of you at the Run. There will be an event coin and we will be posting a picture of it soon. There is only going to be 100 coins minted. It'll be avaliable to only those that attend the event and limiting to one per caching family. The cost will be $7.50

     

    I Like Geocoins That.........

    I like GeoCoins that:

     

    Are unusual in shape...

     

    Are colorful...

     

    Are personalized

     

    I can't have because we ran out of our personal coins and don't have anymore of that green stuff to mint more.

     

    Might just show up in my mail box as a surprize because the owner/cacher is a nice person :unsure:

    :ph34r: Have reserved Jarstad Park for June 24th. About mid April we will hope to have the event approved and posted on GC. By that time tax season will be over and will have time to devote all our attention to the GeoPoker Run. Will start a new forum post also. But don't hesitate to ask question here till then.

     

    Happy Caching

    How Did You Hear About Geocaching?

    in Northwest

    Posted

    :D My daughter called me on January 1, 2005 and said that they just saw an artical on the TV about a fun past time called GeoCaching and thought that Dad and I would be interested doing something like this while we are traveling in our motor home. I jumped on the computer and found the sight and was intrigued. :D Couldn't beleive all the hidden treasures in our county. Called daughter back and told her this looked like fun and how many there were around are area. Told her that dad had a hand held GPS out in the boat. We decided to sign up as a family group. When they came down for New Years dinner, son-in-law rowed out and got the GPS. We decided to go out the next day and try our hand in this treasure hunting game. After 3 DNF we finally found our first cache, Old Saw Mill Park. :) What a rush. December 31, 2005 we found our 400th. What a way to celebrate our 1st year of caching. :D
