Just 1 More

I just checked the site and the current photo link is up and running. http://jeep.geocaching.com/photos/

Even if they were, the cacher they grabbed three WJTB's from still possess eight. The closest WJTB to me is 54 miles and may or may not actually be in the cache, I will have to wait until the weekend to find out. Boy this is frustrating.

Check out this White Jeep page. It says someone is selling them for $20. I did send a message to my states admin. http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.as...43-69ee0519a07b

[if you look at the Jeep 4X4 owner page of the first 100 white jeeps almost 40 have 0 miles. ] I as able to get a listing of all 5000 WJTB, their current location, and how many miles they have moved. Here are a few interesting facts (as of 9/10/05): 1,883 have traveled 0 miles, 2,575 have traveled less then 50 miles, 775 still show in the possession of Jeep.

[Grab the ID# (because the person holding the jeep isnt going to let go of it) and submit a picture with a Wal-mart $1.97 jeep. See how simple it is?] Sure it's simple but still wrong. These jeeps are no different then a regular tbs, they are supposed to move from cache to cache. By bending the rules, those hording white jeeps feel it's ok to do so. I have found 2 people in my state that have 7 or more in their possession. One submitted a picture with 5 white jeeps and it didn't make the current contest picture web site. my thoughts are if you want to hang on to them wait until the contest is over, I would like to see Jeep continue to support the sport by having a contest and if they don't get enough entries my guess it they may end up not placing these cool travel bugs for us to go find.

Thanks for the quick replies, I registered for the eastern iowa forums. I am looking forward to up coming events, maybe I am just looking forward to spring and getting out in the mud instead of snow.

I have recently started geocaching and was wondering if there are caching meetings in Iowa. I live in Grinnell but would be willing to travel an hour or so.

I have contacted Whitesun and will attempt do get the picture 1/28, weather permitting. Being winter in Iowa it's hard to say what the weather will be like. I will be passing by the coordinates for West 468 and will snap some pictures there as well, unless someone else in the area would like to add this cache to their found list.

I bought my first GPS unit Jan 4th, it was delivered in time for the snow! just my luck. My first solo cache was buried along a fence under 18" of snow. Luckily I carry a big stick in my truck and used it to poke through the snow and feel the cache without too much digging.
