When we have firm dates, I will post here. Not sure how much caching we will be doing in Omaha, but we *will be* eating and drinking. Perhaps some of the locals can meet up with us for some socializing. We likes socializing, precious. Yes, we does....

The Blue Bow would be pleased to meet the Snoogs, if you pass near Omaha, Nebraska.

Okay, that made me laugh. And I really needed a good laugh tonight - thanks, knower of chad!

Until the day someone throws it out as junk, or a religious pamphlet, or a business card or promotional material... or it gets wet and illegible, and becomes a wadded ball at the bottom of the cache snowing little paper shreds, until someone throws it out as junk... And then an epidemic of "illegit" caches, all crying out for their signed permission slip... eep, I'm having flashbacks to third grade field field trips... Mommie.

I'm surprised the amazing blue bow missed this one. It's a team of 10 guys all logging using the same team sticker thevernshow. So 10 guys and a 1000 caches each on a different part of the trail, why that is only 100 per guy. And if the caches are close enough the job can be done after a leisurely breakfast and before beer time. Nothing to see here, move along. I'll still be impressed if they do it wearing bright blue bows...

I am so impressed that I'm left speechless. If they can do it while wearing Blue Bows, I'll be impressed. Otherwise... THEY ARE DOOMED TO FAILURE and FLAT COCA-COLA FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES! So there!

Speak for yourself. We enjoy conversing with our reviewers 'round here. Speak for yourself. I enjoy giving mine a hard time. Of course, he returns it in spades! My reviewer is actually a doorknob. WHo doesn't care about the chinldren, I know. But does the doorknob wear glasses?

And the Blue Bow wants to, erm, ease you into early retirement and take your place? Edit : wait... maybe the Blue Bow is trying to accomplish the above by having you drop dead from overwork? Did you check who submitted those caches?

I'd never nominate my own logs. Sometimes I get emails that this log or that one made someone laugh, or they really enjoyed reading it, which means much more to me than the new system they've worked out. Besides, how would you even know one of your logs was nominated? The banner annoys me. It has no blue.

Err... you fixed your last reviewer? Anyone know of any missing reviewers? My suggestion is to load up all the caches in the area onto your GPS, found and unfound, and find a spot that is less cache-dense. Unless there's a natural barrier between you and the other caches? You mentioned a river, that could be considered one. Or a cliff?

What does that have to do with completing the challenges? If you believe you are entitled to the pin for finding six Earthcaches within a 100 mile radius of your house or whatever, then just buy the pin. After you complete the challenge, you mean? Okay.

My walking stick was kidnapped once - it became the Saga of the Itnapper. We went all Wild West - I made a Wanted poster, organized a posse (complete with toy sheriff badges), and eventually paid off the ransom in chocolate gold coins. It was a blast! Sounds like they are having even more fun.

Hmmm... Does TC take article retreads?

Um, the reviewer said something along the lines of: Someone translate for me please - I'm writing my first and last message on the subject. A forum is a place where one <something> rumours, incomplete and erroneous information that they can twist(?) to their side. One can say <something> narcissa said that the letter the reviewer wrote to the cache owners was in English - if he didn't write it, who did? Something like that.

Give me enough advance notice and I will be glad to serve as cache-tour guide, in and around Omaha, if you want.

WHat sort of cache / cache locations do you like? I've got recommendations spilling out my ears...

Oh, now you have angered the Blue Bow . Retribution lies ahead!

Hmmm. Someone convince me I need a shiny new Jeep Wrangler now. How about I convince you that you need a slightly used 17 year old Jeep Wrangler? If it runs, has a steering wheel and 4 other wheels, and isn't made of rust... I might be convinceable...

It's very important to learn to embrace your inner n00b. Remember what it was like, running around as a n00b without a care in the world? Well stop remembering and start embracing your inner n00b! Log your DNFs! Admit you can't find them all! Also, forget about the numbers and treat every cache like it was your first adventure. Don't obsess over the small caches. Move on quickly if you can't find them! And don't forget to fall in a creek or down the hill every now and then! Acorns make great ball bearings underfoot, btw - trust me!

Zis depends on the kind of rocks. We frown on common shale; granite, quartz, and mica are highly recommended.

Now I am curious. Perhaps you could do a You Tube demonstration or otherwise enlighten us nooobies. I'll have to find my mortar board and a suitable gown, first. Then again, perhaps I'll just do an Instructable. I haven't sent them yet. Still waiting for your final payment...

You ask a very deep question. Here at the University of BlueBow, we have put together a comprehensive, 3 month course in Noobity: What it is and what it isn't. This is a prerequisite for the companion course "Finding your inner noob with a GPS". The course will cover the following topics: "wrong side of the creek", "falling IN the creek", "what to do when the batteries die", "use of the GPS as a flashlight", "nano-log rolling", and the ever popular "dirty fighting tricks for that FTF". If you, and more importantly, your GPS, survive this course, you will receive a diploma certifying that you are no longer a noob. But there is no time to waste - enroll today for the low cost of $169.99, plus sales tax, before this opportunity is gone. Otherwise... you will remain a sad, questioning noob!
