  1. Perhaps we should make a plan for a weekend backpacking/geocaching trip for anyone who is interested?

     

    How does sometime in late May sound - or perhaps early June? I understand that there is a possible Northeast Geocaching gettogether sometime in May too so we will have to schedule around that - no problem.

     

    So are we looking at Harriman or the Catskills as two potential places to start with?

     

    I might start a new thread to discuss the impending trip if there is sufficient interest in this joint geocaching/backpacking weekend trip.

    If you look at my cache page, I leave explicit instructions on where the plaque is located. I dont want divers 'digging up the wreck' unnecessarily. Deciphering the Cheat underwater is NOT reccommended icon_biggrin.gif

     

    As for the time it took to find a spot, I was concentrating on looking for a spot that can be easily found with minor problems. This may mean a few sweeps over a few places on the wreck.

  5. Alluvial Material is your cache? Wow! Congrats for placing such a challenging cache. If I remember, I was the first to search ...and get stumped by it. sigh_2.gif

     

    I must admit that I had doubts about its existance in the beginning as I was one of those cache newbies that tore up the place in the beginning. newbie.gif

     

    I hope to venture out there soon to tackle it again soon but I am a WWW (warm weather wussie!).

     

    I looked on the cache page today and someone isnt happy in not finding the extra prize you left behind... angry.gif

    I like the idea that it starts at 100. Perhaps a 'bronze' colored mini Geocaching logo with 100 through the middle of it.. the same thing for Silver for 200 and Gold for 500.

     

    and something else to be determined for the one that reaches 1000. I follow a few of the top cachers like BasoonPilot and Stayfloopy & CCCCooperagency and I would love to see some sort of recognition for the 1000 barrier being broken. cheering.gif

     

    I know there will be a minor uproar on the so-called competitveness of this, but hey, you can ignore it if you want to!
