I got this as an answer to one of my EarthCaches.

Q's MOGA-Mega Cache
GC44GMY
...this one should be on your 'to do' list!!
-
-
I have, I guess.
I've visted ECs in 15 States and 2 Canadian Provinces.

I understand that a person shouldn't be placing physical caches a great distance from their home coordinates (can't effective maintain), but what about Events?
Is there a rule (written or unwritten) about how far away a person can host a caching Event from their home coordinates?
Thanks!!

Whenever you are in Alberta, you should try to find a few of the Brass Caps (see http://coord.info/GC43F3 and http://members.shaw.ca/brasscaps/
It is funny that you mention that virt. It is on the agenda. I like the concept and I love virtual

I'm going to be visiting Alberta in July to attend the BAD Event, and besides Alberta's two oldest caches, are there any "must do" caches in the Edmonton area?
I love Challenge Caches, wherigos, EarthCaches, and Chirps.
Thanks for the help!!

Oooops, I just noticed your posting. I bet the Sunday that your were mentioning was this last Sunday, right?
I was going to say that I'd like to do a little Rochester caching this Sunday (March 6th).
A day late and a dollar short...that's the story of my life.

EarthCaches Rock - The Third Times a Charm. GC2C2FB
http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...03-bcb8b76255ae
This was the third annual EarthCaching Event that I've hosted. This year's edition was held SW of Spirit Lake Iowa. We didn't have a huge turnout (basically because there aren't many cahers in this region).
But we had fun. After a little 101 class, I escorted the attendees to my nearby EarthCache so they could apply whet they've learned. It was alot of fun.

I received a geocoin as a prize at an Event, but I can't find the activation code for it anywhere.
It looks like a $100 bill.It is metallic and measures maybe 3" X 6".
Help?!
-
What is this EarthCache Master thing you guys are talking about?
-
I just e-mailed the "journalist" who wrote this article and asked if she'd like to accompany me on my caching adventure in Iowa this weekend.
Think I'll get a response?
-
I've developed quite a few caches that will probably last 110,000 years....they are my EarthCaches!!
-
I live in SE Minnesota (near Winona). If you are ever over this way...I'll go caching with you.
-
West Bend Wisconsin has a few!

I have enjoyed, oh so much, all the pointless rhetoric and bickering in this thread this week, that I did something funny after work this afternoon.
I visited a special cache up by Altoona,WI:

I really am ashamed of myself!
p.s. Gotta love those shiney 50 cals, eh?

Depending upon the weather (I live in SE Minnesota), I'm planning on going to Illinois to pick up the 5 EarthCaches near Peoria/Bloomington that I've yet to visit, then pad my #'s a little on the huge cache concentration in that fine part of the country.
-
My 1000th find was a tribute ammo can placed in my honor:
Silver and Gold just wouldn't do for a cheeto.
If your cache had a little geochecker html integrated into it's write up, I'd make a visit the next time I'm in the Fox Valley.
-
In my home area, there are cases of silver, gold and platinum milestone caches. But you really only get one from your buddies in a close-knit clique. They don't just grant them to anyone who's crossed a milestone.
I guess I'm not a member of that clique, eh Bart.
Where's my Minnesota Silver box?

It already is an EarthCache called Washboard Wall
.http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...db-9695211f57b0
There are 11 active EarthCaches in Muir Valley and more coming once the new EarthCcahe sysytem is active
.We will be waiting for you!
You should have made this an EarthCache...then I might have went after it!
I've got the lower two thirds of Indiana left before I finish their Delorme..looks as though I need to make a slight incursion into Kentucky. Kentucky is truely an EarthCacher's paradise!

We find a location that is focused on rock climbing and hide a 5 star cache there, do you think there would be a problem with getting the cache listing approved?
Permission from property owner granted with provided phone number.
Climbing waivers at the beginning of trailhead to cache.
All special equipment listed.
The cache is a 80 foot rappel to cache hide or a 40 foot ascent once you hook the ropes in.
Cache is secured to rock wall "40" plus feet above the ground.
Currently there is a problem with the cache reviewer and logging the actual cache. They are concerned with log deletions for cachers who sit at the bottom of the cliff and watch and log the find without attempting getting to the cache location.
Listing says you must reach and sign the log yourself to get a find.
Any input? I am open to suggestions.

Has anyone created a Golden Earthcache for you yet, Lagrac?I agree, it isn't a numbers thing. In my 'Grand Tribute" write ups, I always ask peole to write something about their favourite cache or a time they've cache with the GRAND cacher. It is meant to recognize the person...not the number of smileys.
Oh oh... only 333 Earthcaches to date. You'd better get busy!
As a matter of fact...yes they have:

I see there is a new EC in the Cities....looks like it is time for another Twin Cities run.

It may seem that way on the surface, but at least around here, it is more about honoring friendships and recognizing dedication to the hobby. I don't see it as a Bad Thing. Now, if we were putting out Golden Film Cannister caches... well, you know.I would say that the practice of creating tribute caches is "all about the numbers".I agree, it isn't a numbers thing. In my 'Grand Tribute" write ups, I always ask peole to write something about their favourite cache or a time they've cache with the GRAND cacher. It is meant to recognize the person...not the number of smileys.

They seemed so educated and proud of themselves...I didn't have the heart to tell them their answers were wrong.
