I saw the finished product at the Coin event. I was floored by how beautiful it turned out. I'm not a big coin person but had to come in here and post a note to let you know that this is a stunning design and one of the most beautiful coins in my collection.

Wait, I'm considered a Lackey?!
I like this part of the definition KoosKoos posted:
2 : a servile follower : toady
Toady means slave to the Frog right?
I don't know about the OP but I know that I love the Lackeys!!!

We saw a Toyota Matrix with a Geocaching four-square & a TB sticker in the back window on I-5 yesterday afternoon. We slowed down and pulled along side of them long enough so I could write down the TB#. Then we moved ahead of them and pulled over so they could do the same with our TB tag #. We waved as they passed us.
-
As many as 150 Trackables apparently went missing during the Geo Boo 2009 event. It seems very strange that many TB's could be picked up, not be properly logged, and be "missing."
I am particularly interested in what may have become to Geo Hard Hat TB. If anyone attending Geo Boo 2009 has any information about the missing TB's please contact me.
Thanks,

Found at the GeoBoo over the weekend -
ring of 3 key chains. No keys
I was part of the clean-up crew, I can tell you that the travel bug bucket was empty at the end of the event. I'm sure all of the bugs will be logged eventually.

Here's the next one! #16 (accidentally marked #0, but it is really #16)
N 47 12.837 W 123 05.278
Good LUCK!!!
Not so much an accident as an executive decision. We didn't have the number with us when we found the perfect spot. Since we couldn't get a hold of anyone who had the list we picked a number that we knew wouldn't conflict with another tombstone.

But will it go to eleven?
I've been told on more than one occasion that I go to eleven.
When planning events our group motto is "If it's worth doing, it's worth over doing!" So I think I can safely say that this years event will go to eleven.

How about Seattle, Washington??
NOT IT!

We had a great time at last year's event! You all do a fantastic job on these! We'll be at Champoeg on this weekend, so we have to miss this one :-(
Yeah! It's a shame that this is the same weekend as Champoeg.
-
Darn foiled again! I won't arrive until Sunday... maybe next time. Hope we can team up on some themes.
Be careful what you wish for.
Actually we've heard about the great events you put on and look forward to teaming up with you at some point in the future.
-
Hopefully you can stop by one of the many events happening on May 2nd. The biggest event of the day will be the Spring Fling in Port Orchard. It's a day long event with lots of fun, food and friendly people.
-
Cool! Hope to get downtown for this one. For those of you who have never been, it is great for kids (both big and small).
Does this mean you'll be visiting Seattle while the Maze is here? If so, let us know, we'd love to meet 'n greet (at least, I would, having traded for a couple of your coins in the past).
He's going to become a PNW resident.
REALLY ?!? or are you teasing us
:blink: He really is!
All the cool people want to live here!
-
Cool. Looks like I will be attending.
Awesome!!! It will be nice to see you again!

There's also the COWWS who tend to hang out in the South Sound area.
LR is right, the Gig Harbor/Port Orchard/South Sound cachers are often found in the C.O.W.W.S. pastures. When will you be here? We've been looking for a reason for a casual meet-n-greet in April and we can maybe schedule one around your visit.

*bump*
Less than a week away from this event so I'm bumping the thread. Everything is looking good so far, this should be a fun event.

Tag, Your It - A Food & Fun Event
Speedway Brewing
1225 Ruddell Rd SE
Lacey, WA. 98503
Saturday - March 21
12pm - 3pm
Brought to you by COWWS
Cache paage is in the works and will be submitted soon! This is going to be a combination event in Olympia blending several things we all love with a fun activity. This will be a meet-n-greet at Speedway Brewing a fairly new place that has great buzz. Here's a little info on the place:
Specializing in handcrafted microbeer and Texas style barbeque
Speedway Brewing Company began operations in November 2006. A family operation from the start, we proudly put the fun back in dysfunctional. Ever since we raised our first steer, we’ve been interested in BBQ. The beer came later as my dad spent 25 years at the Olympia Brewery, and my “experience” with beer came shortly thereafter. The theme for the brewery came from my background covering auto-racing around the globe and love for anything fast. We hope you enjoy the food and beer, and if we don’t meet your expectations, please lower them on your next visit!
You've gotta like that attitude!
To add a little fun to this meet-n-greet, next door is a Laser Tag place. Any one who wants to go over for a round of Laser Tag can take a break from the M & G to go shoot things! More details on both will be available once the cache page is up and running.

I'm bringing three cases of 'Hormel' Original.

CONGRATS to COREYNJOEY on getting their number 1,000 while at the festivities of Champoeg '08!!! Great job guys!!
Congrats to you both!
Thanks guys! It's been a fun journey!!
It was great to celebrate 1,000 with you guys. Trying to get the golden ammo can painted and decorated with out you seeing it was also a challenge. (sorry it didn't get totally finished
) Thanks ya'll! Champoeg was definitely worthy of a milestone..what better way to celebrate!
Purple!!!!!

My first inclination is to use a larger container and place nearby.
That's my first suggestion as well. If you want to use the sign in the cache then use the sign as the starting point for an offset multi-cache and hide the actual container some distance away where you wont have to worry about defacing the sign.

Do we have a new event brewing???? Best SPAM dish?
It's your idea...you get to host it.
I vote for a spam carving contest instead
IT!

For those of you that are currently nestling your cache between the plastic flamingoes and the garden gnomes: what sort of horrible stories can you tell me? What is the dark side of placing a cache so very close to where you sleep at night? What has gone wrong?
We don't have a garden gnome, they give computers bad mojo.
We've had a cache in our yard since 2002, many finds and a lot of good conversations with cachers. I'd say the only downside is that we have had a few people put in the wrong coordinates and wind up in our neighbors yard. Now we have lots of geo stickers and such around the house to make it clear which house is ours.
If I was to do it all over again I might not put one out now. But that doesn't mean that I'm tempted to archive the one we have. It does make it really easy to tell other cachers how to find our house if we are meeting there for some reason. I just give them the GC# of the cache.
-
Anyone interested in meeting up and discussing caching in the southsound?
Throw an event. Trust me.
NOT IT! (did we do it right?)
You are learning, young padawan.

Today, The GPS Accuracy Game is being turned over to Steve of "The Four Grays". I will be around doing nothing as usual. GZ was set today. We used four GPSs, two with external antenna at 15 feet let them average in excess of 2000 counts and then Steve averaged the four for the coodinates. All GPSs were getting all bars with WAAS and the arrangement of Satellites was good. Dick
A great amount of time and considerable care and attention is put into setting Ground Zero for the GPS Accuracy Game.... which isn't to say that a good number of us couldn't do just as well by putting our GPSrs into a bucket and heaving them out onto the field.
We have had a player get to within 3/4 of an inch of GZ. We've also had players get to within the same zip code! We urge you to try your luck.
Ugh, I can't find My gps unit.
With as 'well' as I've done at this the last couple of events I'll do just about as well if I left my gps at home!

I fail to understand why many people feel that they have to tie their cache to something unrelated to geocaching. Geocaching has nothing to do with saying thanks to the troops, or curing breast cancer, or praising one's personal savior.
Me - I just like to hike in the woods and find boxes full of crap with my dog. I'd be happy if all cache descriptions just said "A box in the woods - go find it."
This about sums up my 0.02 worth on this subject.
:blink: 
Jeep Wrangler? or Mini Cooper?

Steve said that the only reason you'd be considering a mini cooper is to make yourself look taller.
