MissJenn

On this day of Festivus, I would like to wish you and yours Happy Holidays in 2010! As we say in the Philippines: Maligayang Pasko!

I've asked your local reviewers (thanks, guys) to please Temporarily Disable any affected caches where the owners have not yet taken action.

Nice new cover picture! Indeed! Those paying attention will know that it's the same family as in the cover of the 1st edition - just a few years later.

Let's get back on topic, people.

Many Groundspeak officially-licensed products are sold elsewhere by independent vendors.

The 2nd edition came out in 2009.

Gift idea for the holidays: Geocaching Starter Kits ... GPS Devices ... Clothing ... and more. http://shop.Groundspeak.com

Groundspeak has heard from Anza-Borrego Desert State Park regarding the geocaches on their land. To all those who own caches in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park: Please immediately Temporarily Disable your caches. This is based on the direct instruction from the land managers there. There is a chance that you will also need to permanently Archive them. Groundspeak is in communication with them and hope to resolve this in a positive manner. In the meantime, we respect the wishes of the land managers and will do as they have directly requested. Thank you so much for your swift cooperation.

The Groundspeak Knowledge Books contain helpful information for every player of our games. It was created by Lackeys and Reviewers working together. http://support.Groundspeak.com/ Start with the options you'll find on the left margin of the page. You can browse the many articles that way. Some Knowledge Book pages have been highlighted and others have been marked as "most helpful" by geocachers like you. This thread will be a growing list of recently-added pages. As such, you may want to "watch it" or subscribe to it so that you are alerted when new pages become available. Thanks for reading!

We're playing it by ear. The way the servers behave with the load of souvenirs will determine the rate at which we release them.

Yep! My guess is that New Jersey was released sometime after I posted this thread. With that info, have you figured out the order in which the states' souvenirs are being released?

Souvenirs for DE and PA were awarded this week. What do you see? http://www.geocaching.com/my/souvenirs.aspx Here is a wee bit more from our Knowledge Books: Souvenirs

The flag has been added.

Interesting. The caches hidden by JackQuest traditionally have the JQ nomenclature. You could ask him.

Our Knowledge Books have this page: Geocaching→ Beginner's Basics → Well-Stocked Geocaching Bag

There is a new Lost & Found video about Souvenirs. Enjoy! http://blog.geocaching.com/2010/11/souveni...st-found-video/

Hm. Strange indeed. Maybe it was operator error on my part?

Duplicate topic.

I merged two related threads. macatac1961 started one and this existing one by The BeeGees had a better title.

wow!

When users place a cache these days, the email they get right after submission suggests that they should also read this section of the KB: Review Process: Hiding a Geocache http://support.Groundspeak.com/index.php?p...apter&id=22
