This really speaks to a greater concern of mine.... 1. Agree with all who say - it's up to you and the cache owner. 2. Why do we insist on imposing "rules" to a game that isn't designed to have a winner - the only prize is the satisfaction you get personally for the experience, the hunt, often, but not always, the find. 3. We take ourselves far too seriously. 4. We tend to create an artificial caste system based on the number of finds. I will be the first to tell you that I've met numerous folks that are far better cachers than I am with a tenth of the caches found. Log the find, man, log the find!

I was there from 03-04 as an MP. I am hoping these Cashes would all be located in Safe Secure areas where Insurgants could not leave their own little trinket for a unsespecting fellow GeoCasher All caches that I'm aware of are hidden on coalition installations with limited, controlled access. I don't need a smiley bad enough to look outside the wire. Those babies tend to find you!

Easier said then done Geocaching is really IED training without the consequenses of a DNF!!!! But wait until you get home and find a monster cache behind a guard rail and all that training comes back. Roadblocks 600m fore and aft 9 line UXO reports and yell at your friends to hit the deck and scanning the horizon for a triggerman or camera. And me yelling ---- where the heck is EOD? Yep, you nailed it!!!!

The response has been overwhelming. You cachers are coming out of the woodwork to make this a great event! Thank you so much....

Greetings from Baghdad - yes, I'm deployed. I've decided to put together an Event Cache here in Iraq (GC1QMWT). I'm casting the net far and wide for assistance in both support and networking for more support. I'm looking for any geocaching stuff to raffle, give, use to make this event a good one - swag, unactivated coins/TBs, activated trackables, containers, etc. Anything you can do would be very much appreciated. If you're interested, please contact me and I'll shoot you my mailing address. Thanks! Rob McWilliams Dad of Teammcw
