+Huntnlady Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 A watershed is a geographic area that contains all of the rivulets and streams that drain into a river, river system, or other body of water. The ridge of that divides the two watersheds is called a water parting. Ok, now that it is defined, how do I create the subcategory on Waymarking? Like it says in the email, after I reply will I be given instructions and the secret handshake and the key to the clubhouse? Link to comment
+WascoZooKeeper Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 I'm not sure I quite understand this one, or see a reasonable uniqueness to the prospective waymarks. Wouldn't the divide (such as the Continental Divide, for example) constitute a long, wavy line on a map, and there would be hundreds or thousands of waymarks that could be part of the same divide? Or is that exactly what you were after? "Headwaters" -- the originating source of a river or stream -- would seem to make more sense to me. Link to comment
+sept1c_tank Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 I like this idea. It's a concept I realize often when canoeing, and I find watersheads fascinating. I suspect that Huntnlady might be looking for specialized waterparts like the specific locations where a trail or a road might intersect that long wavy line. Link to comment
Jeremy Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Is this an existing locationless cache? If so, emailing back will start the process for creating this waymark category. If not we are still working through how the process would work for new categories. I can transfer your topic to the new section if you like. Link to comment
+Huntnlady Posted August 17, 2005 Author Share Posted August 17, 2005 Well, to tell the truth it is sort of an existing cache. Top of the Watershed, GCGYH7 is an existing virtual that can be logged as a locationless. But it has not been invited to Waymarking. I would like it to be included in Waymarking. Does that mean that the location at the original top of the watershed will no longer be logged as a cache? Link to comment
Jeremy Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Well, to be honest you went around the guidelines and made your virtual cache a secondary locationless. As it wasn't marked a locationless in the first place I'm having a tough time inviting it to become one of the first waymark categories. Link to comment
+Huntnlady Posted August 17, 2005 Author Share Posted August 17, 2005 Please, Jeremy? People have enjoyed logging it. Doesn't it deserve to be in a category? Link to comment
Jeremy Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 We're working on the process for submitting new waymark categories. So the answer is maybe. Help us define the process better so categories like yours will be listed. Link to comment
