misguided one

We've talked about a hosting either a Pre-Event or a lunch event. But our plans for the CM are up in the air right now. (We're supposed to be putting a fence up that weekend) I may get with L&R about helping with a Babaloo event.

quote:Originally posted by Hemlock: quote:Originally posted by Gorak:You misunderstand. I was in no way suggesting that we needed a new rule. I was asking because the whole concept of Reserved Caches gave me some interesting ideas and I wanted to ensure that they would be approved before I went any further. In fact, a similar concept crossed my mind not too long ago but I dismissed the idea assuming that the cache would not be approved. I think you have the answer to that now. But realize that the majority of the guidelines we have now were created as a response to complaints. If we start getting huge numbers of reserved caches, I can imagine there will be enough complaints to create another guideline. Heck, just look at the number of complaints to just ONE reserved cache... It is really amazing to me that most of the complaints that are posted to the General Forum lately seem to come from the same 3 or 4 "community" mermbers. quote:Originally posted by ju66l3r: I'd like to hear about a situation where an approver wanted to do something slightly controversial and the other approvers told them "no way in hell". Cache reviewers/approvers tend to be a lot harder on themselves about placing caches. They have the bennefit of being able to confer with other reviewers/approvers before posting a cache. quote:Originally posted by hydee: If you are considering placing a cache that pushes the limits, feel free to run it by the cache reviewers as WanderLost did. You too may find that the cache reviewers are wonderful to work with, and with a little honey they will go the extra mile to assist you with your next cache. Hydee's comment here just means that if you have a questionable cache idea, try dicussing it *politely* with your local approver before you post it. Instead of *bashing* them over the head with it when it gets declined. These are just MY observations, not to be taken any other way.

Thank you R.K., for expressing how many of us feel. I never just hap-hazardly place a cache. Most of my caches usually take a good 2 - 3 months for me to put together and find a suitable place to hide them. While I've never really had a problem with the brevity of a finders log, its the trading down part that REALLY urks me. As an example I give you this one. I spent 4 months gathering just the right treasures to place in it, only to have the contents reduced to fecal matter by the first group to find it. Not that I'm whining, I fully expect a cache to decline in quality OVER TIME, not at the first finder. Thanks for enduring my micro rant, I'm off now. ___________________________________________ Cum catapultae proscriptae erat, tum soli proscript catapultas habeunt.

Don't get too upset, I have 2 TB that haven't moved for a year. Unfortunately that is the nature of the TB's. ___________________________________________ Cum catapultae proscriptae erat, tum soli proscript catapultas habeunt.

Congrats DenaliNW At least you saved me an unnecessary trip to Portland. ___________________________________________ Cum catapultae proscriptae erat, tum soli proscript catapultas habeunt.

Darnit, family always seem to get in the way lately. We would have loved to be there but we have to go to Oakville on that date. ___________________________________________ Cum catapultae proscriptae erat, tum soli proscript catapultas habeunt.

All you outta towners please try to attend. ___________________________________________ Cum catapultae proscriptae erat, tum soli proscript catapultas habeunt.

The Misguideds would like to attend, but we're not available until the end of August. Please keep us posted. ___________________________________________ Cum catapultae proscriptae erat, tum soli proscript catapultas habeunt.

In the 1800s, the Tates Watch Co. wanted to diversify. Since it already made watchcases, it decided to manufacture compasses for pioneers traveling to California. But the compasses were so bad that people often ended up in Canada or Mexico. This is the origin of the expression, "He who has a Tates is lost!" ___________________________________________ Cum catapultae proscriptae erat, tum soli proscript catapultas habeunt.

Wander Lost just snickered and said that her Chocolate Kiss Cache seems to be the toughest one in Western Washington right now. Another one of WL's that is pretty tough is Dead Languages. ___________________________________________ Cum catapultae proscriptae erat, tum soli proscript catapultas habeunt.

Sorry bazzle, it just made more since to me to put something in the title that included Champoeg. ___________________________________________ Cum catapultae proscriptae erat, tum soli proscript catapultas habeunt.

quote:Originally posted by Zzzoey: <snip> ...How about using the high speed lines in motel rooms? Has anyone done that? I am assuming it is an ethernet connection of some sort. We sometimes see motel rooms advertised with that. We even tried to stay at a place in Utah where they had computers with internet access near the front desk for guests to use, which would have been great! But alas, they don't take Barney dogs. Argh! If it isn't one thing, it's your mother! Wander Lost & I use AT&T broadband for our home computer, but we also pay a nominal fee(@ $10.- for 30 days) to have access via their dial-up service. This allows us to connect to the internet just about anywhere we go, and all we have to do is unplug the hotel phone and plug in our laptop. ___________________________________________ Cum catapultae proscriptae erat, tum soli proscript catapultas habeunt.

Here at Team Misguided HQ we started out using MS Home Publisher. Then we switched to MS PictureIt! Publishing Platinum edition, after we had some difficulties with the former. We just purchased Print Shop Deluxe about a week ago, and were eager to give it a good shake down. ___________________________________________ Cum catapultae proscriptae erat, tum soli proscript catapultas habeunt.

quote:Originally posted by BeDoggy:Well obviously I came across as more po'd than I really am. I still have alot of fun. Thanks for the note. OK, so you weren't po'd. That's ok. I spent 13.5 hours yesterday doing The Yakima Cache Machine. There were 30+ cachers, some were hitting their 800/900 cache mark. Others were fairly new the game. I don't know what the cachers are like in B.C., I never heard a single dispariging word said about any of the people involved. If there are Elitists among us they are few and far between, or they all live in your part of Canada. ___________________________________________ Cum catapultae proscriptae erat, tum soli proscript catapultas habeunt.

Great minds think alike. I posted this thread yesterday in the N.W. forums. My idea was to get a collection of parks together, and which ever got the most nods as the dirtiest park, would be selected as the site for a cache in/trash out event cache. I was just waiting for the list to grow before I presented the idea to the WSGA exec. board for consideration. ___________________________________________ Cum catapultae proscriptae erat, tum soli proscript catapultas habeunt.

If you really feel the need to have a "GEO Dating" forum, why not just start your own YAHOO group. Then you can add a link to it in your signature line. If anyone is interested they can click on the link, and it doesn't waste space on the geocaching.com servers. ___________________________________________ Cum catapultae proscriptae erat, tum soli proscript catapultas habeunt.

Not the kind of BOOTY - NUGGETS we were actually looking for. ___________________________________________ Cum catapultae proscriptae erat, tum soli proscript catapultas habeunt.
