  1. Is there a problem with the Query generator? I tried to have all "My Finds" generated today. I know the generator fires periodically through the day; my query was registered about 7 hours ago. Wondering if anyone else is experiencing similar?

    Add me to the list of people who are upset by this. I had big plans. I logged my 10,000th find yesterday and want a finds query of my first 10k. I guess I will just have to write everything down until this gets fixed.

     

    Well, Mine just decided to generate, so I am a happy camper. Good luck!

  3. Family caching

    all day on their bicycles

    with no way to log

     

    We drag ourselves home

    and check out the mailbox

    what is this I see

     

    a padded mailer

    and it's addressed to my boys

    we all hold our breath

     

    I slice it open

    and what falls out from inside

    an amazing coin

     

    Yime you have our thanks

    but I get the best thing yet

    two excited boys

     

    from our family

    to YemonYime and his clan

    thank you from us all

  4. I am a bit touched

    that my story was enjoyed

    It came from the heart

     

    I know that my boys

    will really enjoy the coin

    thank you very much

     

    To say it once more

    thank you oh generous one

    my address is sent

  5. I cache with my boys

    they bring a new perspective

    closer to the ground.

     

    The problem with this

    is that they are getting good

    at finding it first.

     

    They are really good

    They don't need a GPS

    it comes from inside

     

    When a coin is there

    they are bloodhounds on the scent

    until they find it

     

    now they have started

    to pilfer my stash of coins

    sneaky little boys

     

    who am I kidding

    even if I win this coin

    my boys will take it

     

     

    thanks for the fun break from homework!

  6. Wow, I really hope this this can be "unfixed". My husband,children and I all have separate accounts. I have the only premium membership in the family ( cannot afford 4) and we have always used the backdoor method to log the PM caches we found for the rest of the family. I have never had a cache owner complain about us doing it because we cache together. Now, after a weekend of caching together, there are caches that they can't log. Please fix this.

  7. Our best day was 118 and it was insane. It was part of a 3 day weekend that totalled 270ish. It was fun because we were with friends and our kids, but it took a long time to get caught up on logging because I personally don't choose to cut and paste...for my account. For my kids....that's another story. We used the good old fashioned pen and paper to log GC#s and notes as we went but at some points it got so short between caches that we missed some. Eventually, we got the PDA, GPS, and paper log reconciled. It was fun, but I think that personal record for me will have to stand for a while.

  8. GW6 was our first mega. We made several versions of Suduko booklets. We got a late start on making them & only had 25 ready. Handed them out to friends we made.

     

    Thanks for reminding me to get an earlier start on them for next year.

     

    They were based on an idea I had seen here: http://www.motivators.com/Promotional-Cust...game-26872.html

     

    These are cool. Thank you, btw...they were very appreciated by the two short people in the back seat!!!

  9. I wouldn't trust W4C. I think she's a stalker. She followed me around in her car for like 4 hours after GeoWoodstock. :D

     

    I'd fear for Jeremy. What if someone wanted to grab him rather than discover him...or wanted to drop him into a cache? I've seen how people are over coins. Would hate to think how they'd be over him. :D

     

    I agree with Skippermark! W4C followed us around most of the day after GW VI!

  10. I had been out of the loop and only recently heard about this coin. While we were at the geocoin event after GW VI, a shadowy figure appeared, dropped one at the feet of my 8 year old son and vanished without a trace in true Jedi fashion. My son was delighted. Thank you!!!!!

  11. Ah...The Netherlands....My mother and I took 6 trips to Europe when I was a teenager and The Netherlands were one of our favorite destinations. For me this thread is a bringing back memories thread. Here are some of the things that I observed/learned when I was there (I'm sure a lot has changed)

     

    -On the train as we were approaching Amsterdam for the first time, we had a conversation with an elderly gentleman who informed us that the Dutch children learn French and English in school...oh and German, "but they don't like it". :-)

     

    -I had never seen any kind of drug parafanalia before, but since it is/was legal, I saw some strange things in shops.

     

    -In the town of Edam, there are buildings that have floating basements. The floor is a box that floats free inside the frame of the walls...as the water level rises and falls, the floor adjusts. Pretty odd walking around in there.

     

    -I know that someone posted that people don't wear wooden shoes, but I have vivid memories of seeing people who were. One specific memory is of a 20ish guy riding a moped, and as he took the corners, he was putting down and dragging one wooden shoe clad foot.

     

    -Churches used to be banned and believers did what they could to worship. In Amsterdam, there is a Church turned Museum that occupies the attic space of three adjoining houses.

     

    -While looking for the church in the attic, we learned that red light districts really have red lights....I was 11 at the time we took that wrong turn...mom wasn't too thrilled.

     

    - In Den Haag there is a cool 1:25 scale village model named Madurodam.

     

    -No place can beat Keukenhof for flowers. It is the most amazing place to visit to spend the day walking around with a digital camera and an empty memory card.

     

    Ok, thanks for the trip down memory lane. I just wanted to share. :lol:
