  1. As of Sept 28, 2012 buses in the downtown Seattle core will no longer be free to ride. Fares are $2.25-$3.50 depending on time and distance. The website can help with trip planning as well http://metro.kingcounty.gov/ or customer service 206-553-3000. There are also customer service booths inside the transit tunnel at Westlake Station and International District station.

     

    If none of these get you the info you need drop me a note as A driver I am willing to help.

  2. I once cached on a day that was sunny and a hot one, like 75, with sweltering 50 percent hummidity. The cache was a ammo can in the city, but hidden in a bush. I had to walk 10 steps, uphill mind you. I did get the FTF and the prize was a $20 bill.

     

    No seriously, some of these war stories are awe inspiring. Way to go.

  3. Ok all.....ready for set #3?

  4. Golden Gargoyles! # 1 and #11 have been placed. I will send a hint if no one can find them in a couple of days!

    Well those our out of my range as I sit chained to this desk in Kent. Good luck to those that are enslaved to the desk by 'the man'.

  5. W e just signed up. I grew up in the area. maybe it will help.

     

    We signed up too! Will probably bring the niece and nephew that enjoy caching with us.

    Look forward to seeing folks.

    So...how was it?

     

    We didn't make it due to family stuff. :D

  6. I understand the reasons behind this, but...it's really a no-win situation...

     

    Just what we don't need...another popularity contest...

     

    Why not just enjoy the caches or not as you judge them?

     

    On behalf of the entire AKADAMY TEAM this is NOT a popularity contest! It is a way to recognize those cacher who have take the time any energy to make the sport better. Anyone can place a film canaster under a lampskirt (myself included) and call it a cache, but to construct a great puzzle or share a view with others or build a clever container takes time and should be rewarded. Our hope is that it will help encourage the high level cache quality that is already present in the northwest to get better.

     

    We do enjoy then, we plan on continuing to enjoy them and want other to be able to enjoy them.

     

    Nothing against the WSGA COM, but the ballot stuffing and limited voting pool is not what we had in mind.

     

    This is also a driver for an event. A way for cacher to get together and share 'war' stories and have fun during what for some is a slower part of the year.

  10. I hadn't taken thetime to reead this thread until today, I really don't know why. But when I did I was truely blessed. It helped to lifte my soul out of a dark place that no pill or doctor could. I too thank you all. Friendship is truely better than an ammo can anyday.

  11. I have had several FTFs. Shared and solo. I don't considerthen any different. I log them accordinly only to share the "pride" with all that have earned it. I can think of three or four caches that a team was needed to find or retrieve. Since there is no prize other than personal ego and glory for a FTF is see no issue. Current policy (unwritten) round these parts, all present at the time that the cache is found, log when the cache is found. FTF or not. Your not going to rehide it for the next person to find and rehid til the entire group finishes, especially if caching multiple caches together. Group caching + group find + group glory + team work + sportmanship eh check that sportspersonship.
