i'm looking for the smallest box possible - say, under 1.5 " wide (squared) and as flat as possible. any ideas? 'neko

well, actually, i meant that there's no reason why some of the geocky folks couldn't HELP you in starting a group in your area - and you don't have to be in lexington to join up - geocky is for geocachers in KENTUCKY. we'd love to have you as a member! hope to see you on the geocky site- 'neko the white diamond pirates

well, if you need any help, i'm sure the folks at geocky would be willing to help =) 'neko the white diamond pirates

yes, actually, i have a TB that wants to get to paris, france - how can we arrange it to get to you? 'neko the white diamond pirates

from the BMTC-KY mailing list: I read a review of last year's Las Vegas "Urban Challenge" in the New York Times a couple of months ago and was happily surprised to see that the popular urban orienteering event is coming to Lexington this September. Teams of two are given maps and clues to locate a dozen checkpoints across the city using only their feet and public transportation to get around. They take digital photos of themselves in front of the landmark, building, whatever, that they believe to be the correct checkpoint as proof that they were there. So, the race is part athletic skill, but mostly mental (puzzle-solving, mapreading, navigating, street knowledge, trivia knowledge, etc.). By chance, I learned today that the event offers a significant discount for early registration, which ends on JANUARY 9TH. If you register through active.com by January 9th, the fee is $99 (plus a $6 processing fee) for a team of two. After that, the entry fee increases by $50. You needn't identify your teammate until a week before the event, so you can register now even if you haven't a clue with whom you might race in September. It's pretty far away on the calendar, I realize, but I figured I'd let you all know that you can save a third off the entry fee if you know now that you'll want to do the race. You can find details and register for the event at www.urbanchallenge.com From the NYT article, it sounded as though these teams went to great lengths to get the upper hand in these races. They set up these elaborate networks of communications and internet access. While only 2 can actually complete the race, they can call upon anyone to help them figure out clues, locate landmarks, etc. So, these teams would have friends and family planted all over the place with cell phones and laptops and maps ready to render assistance. Sounds pretty wild. I'm registered. See you on the Lextran! (Hey - what'll they do if Lextran goes belly-up before September? It'd be a serious advantage to the runners in the race, huh?)

due to lack of interest, the scavenger hunt on the 13th has been scrapped - the event cache, however, is still on schedule for the 14th. 'neko the white diamond pirates

hi all! looks like i'll be geo-crashing the event =) i live in Lexington, Ky, but am travling home to see some family (and of course, score some caches) in MA, and was planning on traveling home on either the 9th or 10th - looks like i may drive down to PA on the 9th, hang out over night, snag a few MORE caches, meet some cool folks, and then continue on my merry way back to Lexington! I'm planning this trip on a shoestring (even thinner) budget, and if someone can either put me up out of the kindness of their hearts, or accept whatever i can give em in return, i'd GREATLY appreciate it! please drop em a line via email - and i'll check back here when i can - Thanks! jenn the white diamonds pirates lexington, ky
