Hmm...it also seems that the jeep in clatmandu's photo never saw the inside of a cache container before his photo was submitted. Doesn't that violate a rule? Like rule 1 (a.) 1. You must visit a White Jeep Travel Bug listing page on Geocaching.com by following the instructions in (a) or ( below: (a) Locate a White Jeep Travel Bug in a geocache and enter the Travel Bug unique tracking number in the field provided at http://jeep.geocaching.com . Ok..I guess I'm done with this contest...maybe I'll release the WJTB's that I found in a cache or maybe not.

Great picture! Congratulations on the GPSr! Edit: Wait..I looked at both pictures and they are both in the same category. Did they give 2 GPSr's as prizes in the same category? I thought there was supposed to be prizes a first place in each category. Both are great pictures btw! I'm just confused.

Thanks for the clarification Jeremy. I was only asking the question because there were soooo many WJTB photos that violated the primary rule of being found in a cache or being listed in a cache and not being found. My apologies (accepted or not) to anyone that got their feelings hurt by my question. I'd offer you a thank you again Lep but I'm afraid it would just be rejected again. I wasn't pointing specifically at your friends as cheaters and I'm not going to name names but if the shoe fits... I'll not post again except in self-defense. ps Thanks for understanding the reason for this post, ju66l3r.

Wow...this sure did get off topic fast. I went to asking a question about photo disqualifications to being called a whiner and a volunteer hater. To clarify: I do NOT believe a volunteer should automatically be disqualified from the whole contest. However, if you are submitting photos of a WJTB that was shipped to you (ie. you did NOT find it in a cache) then shame on you. Just because you initially placed a WJTB does not mean that you can't submit a photo of it if you find it later unless you already submitted one photo already (ie. one jeep/ one photo for the contest). To yumitori: I didn't "rip apart" all the volunteers, just the cheaters! Not all volunteers are good volunteers and that is universal! To WH and Leprechauns: Sincerely, thanks for volunteering to help with the contest job well done from you! Looking at the stats in your profiles you both did well to hand out or place WJTBs. ps. I'm not sure why the folks that did a good job got so defensive. Any cheaters wanna post a response to defend what they did?

There are a lot of photos that violate the rules listed on the jeep contest rules so I would love if someone from the WJTB photo contest would state how these will be handled. Here are the rules most violated as I see them: A lot of the photos submitted for June violated this rule as the WJTB's had photos submitted before they were ever placed into a cache and were submitted by the geocachers that were shipped the WJTB's to place in caches. There are quite a few entrants for June that submitted more than one photo of the same WJTB for different categories. Those are the 2 biggies and I would estimate that more than half of the photos violate basically one of these two main rules. So, my questions are: Is someone reviewing these photos and WJTB logs to verify that the rules have been met? and are photos going to be disqualified for violation of the rules? And on another note: I didn't receive notification that my submission was under review but it is posted on the Jeep.Geocaching.com website photo album. Thanks in advance for answering any or all of the questions! Pignewton
