What I see is if there is a moritorium, on day one that it is lifted, all of the challenges that people have been writing/saving for a whole year get submitted at once. Which will create an avalanche of a bottleneck. Could they not leave the cache alone, allow people to log it as a typical cache, but they could log it with desired info for the C.O. if they wanted to make it the challange final. Then with it being a challenge would allow them a "Souvenier" of some sort if the c.o. checked their info. Then Alot of the "eccentric" type challenges in my opinion, would not be taking up real estate. That would allow people to play the game the way the want to, and allow the c.o. to have all the challenges they wanted.

I am highly interested in the conduit tube originally discussed in this thread. I however could not find anything at lowes fitting the description. So I took the info about looking in the electrical dept and came up with the following. Please keep in mind pics were almost an after thought and my tools were approx 20 miles away, so I roughed this out using what i had on hand. This also allows inner tube to be 1-1/2" inner diameter Tools: skillsaw, hacksaw and rotozip (dremel) a bandsaw or miterbox would have made it easier and prettier. purchasedfrom lowes: (4) 2-1/2" conduit couplers (electrical dept) (1) 2-1/2" electrical conduit, (black pvc) (unfortunately 10' long, still it was only around $12) (1) 2" sch 40 pipe segment form lowes (approx 4' long when bought) ** 2" pvc coupler shown in pictures was not needed** (1) 1-1/2" sch 40 pipe segment form lowes (approx 4' long when bought) (1) 1-1/2" pvc pipe cap. (1) 2" pipe cap (1) 2" to 1-1/2" adapter, Slip fit on both ends. 1. start by cutting 2-1/2" conduit couplers in half (cut couplers image) (these are the finished parts that get lettered 2" wide) 2. cut the 2-1/2" electrical conduit into rings half as wide as the cut couplers (1" wide). 3. cut a segment out of the 2-1/2" electrical conduit ring approx 1/2 wide. 4. place cut ring into the outer 2-1/2" conduit coupler ring that were cut in step one. 5. glue them in place so they are flush on one end 6. cut 2" pipe with a 1/2" slot over the entire length 7. glue cap onto 2" pipe. 8. cut cap with a notch 1/2" long to match slot on tube (2" tube with cap pic) this allows last key to be the same, and cover the cap to help keep dirt and water out. 9. build inner tube with bolts sticking out. I placed one on the very end to fit the notched cap, then measure out where all the other need to be placed. 10> CHECK FITMENT OF INNER TUBE WITH ALL THE KEYS INSTALLED SO THAT EVERYTHING SPINS. 11.remove keys 12. install " to 1-1/2" adapter ( no glue) and cut notch all the way through adapter to match 2" tube. 13. install keys, innertube and adapter and test for fitment and free spin, before glueing on adapter. sorry this is quick and dirty to to time constraints
