Hello Wet Pancake. I'm happy to hear that you like the GeoTours a lot. That makes my day! Your solution (and observation about) the GeoTour attribute is a very good one. We haven't created an Instant Notify Tool yet for GeoTours since there are not so many of these for now. There are currently 32 live in our Global Directory. Take a look: http://www.geocaching.com/geotours We do post on our Facebook wall as GeoTours go live. Those posts are often limited to the region around that GeoTour. So for example, someone in Seattle (like me) might not see the announcement about the recently-launched Birthplace of Texas GeoTour. But those in Texas and neighboring states would. As the volume of GeoTours increase, it will make sense to incorporate something into the more mature Instant Notify Tool.

Some of the logs from the event are below. I sure wish I still lived nearby!

I second that, hydnseek. Thanks, Dick, for placing a Virtual at such a fantastic location and maintaining it all these years.

Thanks for that Facebook link. The group is "closed" - you may get more people joining if it were set up as an "open" group.

Conservation Futures GeoTour Over 111,000 acres of forests, valleys, parks and shorelines that we see every day exist because of Conservation Futures that protects it from development. King County is celebrating the 30th Anniversary of the program with a GeoTour that takes you to 20 properties. http://www.geocachin...ervationfutures King County has just issued this Press Release, below.

Well done! The group photos are really impressive. Congratulations!

My personal hope is that geocaches created around Mega events that are good candidates for permanency and positively add to a visitors' travel/tourism experience to that area eventually get included in an official GeoTour.

Thanks for reporting this bug. Let me ask some develop-types who know more than I do to look into that. This malfunction with the download should be fixed at this point. Actually, it's been fixed for a few days...
