If Danie Viljoen would have an aka, it surely should be StatsKing! Thank you so much for your diligence.

This sounds really interesting and wonderful. I would like to join you for the Botswana part, having been to Namibia last year. Please keep me in the loop.

Beyond economical repair?

Ons is ook stadig maar seker om deur die reeks te werk

Hi Bruce, may I submit a second photo of the same racer in one month? If so, Sylvestor and MadWife visited Smelly Hill on the 7th of August.

Hi Bruce, I want to submit Sylvestor's visit to Rhodes Park on 15 August 2011 for photo of the month. Many thanks

Hi Bruce, my vote for the July photo of the month goes to Baja 4x4 Racer at "Houtbruggie"

Congratulations to iPajero with your amazing feat: 1000 finds in 20 days, and during that reaching 5000 finds too. You are awesome.

Well done Warthog!!!

All the huff and puff about the Power trail now have me wondering if we should go through all the effort of planning and hosting a mega event in South Africa. I definately don't want to divide the community even more. So let's have a poll.

Accepted, thanks

True words! It should stay fun for everybody. That is what I'm "fighting " about. Perhaps you could enlighten us about who the "selected few" is? Then they could answer to your remarks?

I agree with MnCo

I see that a number of comments was based on the "fact" that the bigger community of cachers are against the idea of a power trail. I have analized the posts on the forum so far, and have found the following: Against=12 For = 9 (posts) only + 7 (cache owners in the GPS and posts) + 24 (cache owners in the GPS) == 40 So far at least 15 other teams, not involved in the placing of the GPS, have logged finds on portions of the GPS It seems that the community is not as against the GPS as some cachers thought.

I want to congratulate BruceTP for having the discipline to hold opinion to himself until he had the opportunity to investigate and experience the GPS (or a part thereof) for himself. Thank you Bruce for your balanced perspective and feedback. I appreciate it. Geocacher_coza, it seems to me that your opinions are a bit biased. Firstly they are based on rumours, not facts. Perhaps you should concider withholding your opinion until you could back it with facts? Secondly you yourself have 5 or 6 caches disabled or archived, from a total of 16 published, yet you are concerned about how the GPS will be maintained, even making bold statements that within one year 50% will be archived. Thirdly, I noticed that you did log a powertrail (for beginners) of 20 caches in May this year, yet you so agressively object to a powertrail in SA. I wonder why... I understand most of the objections against the GPS, if one look at each individual cache as a stand alone. Quite boring, most of them. Like a single step, not much in it. But putting it together, enough steps could help you finish a marathon, and that is an achievement. And if you run or only jog the marathon with a few friends, it makes the experience so much more rememberable and fun...and that what it is all about. Happy hunting, greetings from the lion's lair

WHAT??? Do the stores in the shade of Devil's Peak really only sell Coke? Has nothing changed in all these years since I left?

Effectively it is an open to all South African geocachers association, with two main objectives: promoting geocaching and facilitate the hosting of major events, i.e. a mega event. GoSA is a legal entity, and as such can open a bank account and contract with other parties. We shall soon post the Constitution, as accepted by the founding members, on the forum for all to see. More news to follow in due time.
