  1. Hi Folks / Salut!

     

    https://docs.google....C1e3uk/viewform

     

    There have been a few discussions about requesting a Souvenir from Groundspeak for Canada day weekend 2017 (Canada's 150th Celebration)

    I created a petition - If you are for the idea I will be presenting it to Groundspeak, and hopefully reducing their mailflow for requests.

     

    Please fill out the Petition! Please redistribute across Canada! (SERIOUSLY!!!! POST THIS TO YOUR LOCAL BOARD!!)

     

    Il y a eu quelques discussions au sujet de demander un Souvenir de Groundspeak pour le Canada jour week-end 2017 (Célébration 150e du Canada)

     

    J'ai créé une pétition - Si vous êtes à l'idée que je présenterai à Groundspeak, et en réduisant l'espérons leur mailflow pour les demandes.

     

    S'il vous plaît remplir la pétition! S'il vous plaît redistribuer à travers le Canada!

     

     

  2. What do you like most about challenge caches?

    That they exist, and are a product of the customer rather then a marketing team.

    That they make you look at your caching habits, and attempt to push you past your boundaries

    What do you not like about challenge caches?

    The idea of removing them from the game. This is a really popular idea, that will once again likely be tossed out in favour of mindless parking lot skirt lifters.

    The subjectiveness of the review system.. That there is no guiding force for reviewing them, no set of guidelines, every one seems to have a new "hoop" to jump through to get published.

    They are grouped into "Mystery" caches.. which would have been easier to fix 8 years ago, but now it has gotten out of hand.

    What would you like to see changed about challenge caches?

    A set of rules, an icon (reviewers can bestow a new icon retroactively on the cache if they deem it a challenge rather then a mystery)

    If you could describe your favorite challenge cache type, what would it be?

    One's that deal with geographic/physical/location boundaries, unique attributes - ones that push you past your comfort limits.

    What types of challenge caches do you avoid?

    Ones that require X-day streaks (i can't cache every day, as much as i would like to!), or X-finds in a single day (which guarantees i would have to do crap caches for an entire day), Ones that force you to avoid other caches (Obtain an average terrain rating of 3!)

  3. I have tried talking to the Park Manager at Killarney Provincial to get an earthcache placed.

     

    He seemed quite offended and asked me to remove the container (after clearly explaining to him that there was no container). I responded by saying that there was no container

     

    He then became quite frustrated and told me that it would encourage off trail usage (despite it being on a portage route, again clearly indicated in the original email). I responded by saying that it was on a trail.

     

    Frustrated, He told me that it would impact trail usage patterns and that he was entirely not interested in having geocaches in his park. I thanked him for his time.

     

    When Springwater park was closed down near my house due to lack of visitors, I was a staunch supporter of the decision.

  4. well, now that they can't respond.. :ph34r:

     

    I like Tequila 81 Proof - when is the 162 Proof coming out? Has it fermented long enough?

    I find it odd that this cache still inspires descent when their are so many more controversial challenge caches (not challenges! - I hear they are still around!)

  5. Just found this thread, but ordered mine the day the email went out. I really wish they were trackable too. The TB idea isn't a bad one :)

     

    Mine have been ordered and paid for, Can't wait

    I'm going to get a tracking # on there some how.

    Might have to take a number off a TB or something

     

    Nothing stopping you from bolting a TB tag to your bumper right next to the license plate!

  6. Kelly at Minotaur Mazes would like assistance to source Canadian geocaching items to put in a lexan type display case in the GPS Adventures Canada Maze.

     

    They will need donated geocoins, travelling items (TB's, TAGs, etc) and trading items (signature and generic) for this secure display case which have been gathered from Canadian geocachers, provincial associations, regions (like COG) and groups like Parks Canada, Scouts, Girl Guides, etc.

     

    ..

     

    Why was this a one time maze? Got excited to see the new maze exhibit in Toronto (Canada) and found it was the same exhibit as the last 2 times it has been in the area

  7. There is no double standard, because Groundspeak decided to have each website operate independently.

     

    So why did Waymarking cause the grandfathering of virtuals, locationless, webcams, and if some people had their way.. Earthmarks? :rolleyes:
