We were granted a 1 month access by a kind reviewer after trying to place a cache which was too near a member only cache and he felt we'd have a better chance at finding a place with the access. Our 30 day "membership access stuff" runs out soon. After this time we will be going back to "free member status" We submitted a new hide, but its still under review. I've never complained as there is no reason. That will be a little bringdown, but we'll still keep cachin although being realistic, probably not as much.
This month has been optimum fun with 60 smilies weve been very happy and active. We thwarted many a muggle, measured the water temp and ph balance at our first earth cache, got my first case of poison ivy, and got to be seen in public wearing a goofy red rain poncho. We went to our first event caches, blew bubbles with about a hundred other cachers at a cache day flash mob and decided we realy want to keep doing all this super funstuff, except the poison ivy, and the public poncho.
Why you should spend $30 bucks on me: If this offends you I apologise: I dont think someone can be an elitest or a snob if they gift someone with a year of membership =)
