Mike, I expected no less of you! What a guy!!!!

November 6, 2005

Just realised I hadn't checked my Icons, yesss its there one nice White Jeep. Lovely

Okay plans for the Jeep,

Will most probably grabbed by my daughter Demelza (Cornish Mouse), Grabbed back by me and then released into a Cornish Cache by next weekend.

Will ensure its far enough into Cornwall so the Devon lads have to wait a bit longer

November 6, 2005

Well done Mike,what a trip.

November 6, 2005

Loved the report, thanks for making us laugh.

Next time your in Tesco's treat yourself to some new batteries

Just keep it in the deep south-west.... see if the Wilts cachers dare try for an overnight rescue mission

November 6, 2005

Really well deserved, super account of journey. When I saw that it had been FTF by the Molinnis Crew, I knew straight away that it would of been either a Cornish or Welsh Lifeboat crew with their lifeboat that found it due to the weather conditions. I must say that a few lifeboats were obviously in the race against you as well, did you see all those marroons going up !!!

Ogi, Ogie, Ogie, What is she on? Wales gets trashed by NZ, so she quickly lets us know that she is from Cornwall...................... Fair weather loyalty !! So the White Jeep will go around Cornwall & Devon for awhile now, that's nice, hopefully it may pass through Wiltshire again.

Congratulations again,

Have you seen all the notes on the actual cache site page!!

BTW, Thanks to whoever sent it over from the States so that we Brits could enjoy the fun... "Damned sporting of you chaps, what!" Mrs B

November 7, 2005

That thanks goes to Tom, from GA cacher, USA. :rolleyes:

November 7, 2005

Damm sporting ! What happened to the Ogie, Ogie, Ogie then Mrs B? Incidentally did not expect many from Wales to have tried for the White Jeep in Wiltshire as they would of had to pay at least £4.50 to get home with it!! :rolleyes:

I'm sure the White Jeep would have been worth the £4.80 toll...but it was raining...and I had to do the ironing. (And Mr B had to watch the rugby...) (And, who knows, we might come across one next time we go down to Cornwall ....)

Oh no chance Stuey - Tamar Bridge Passport Control have been alerted!

November 8, 2005

AH but do the Cornish Defence Force have any SAMs! Just try and stop me :rolleyes: I feel a stealth mission coming on

November 8, 2005

£4.80 !! Gosh I thought it was only £4.50, I'll have to start going to the Forest of Dean via Gloucester in future, must be a saving, and then come back over the bridge. When its not raining that is or her indoors has no more ironing to catch up on. In fact Devon is the next port of call, Doone Country caches I think.

Day off tomorrow, just checked my nearest 3374 caches (100 miles)and no white jeeps to be seen.

Not to worry! I am off to Gloucestershire today and will be bringing a White Jeep back with me to place in a Devon Cache early next week

there's a jeep in gloucestershire?

November 11, 2005

Good effort Spannerman. I still want to snaffle the Cornwall one though, just to see the look on their faces

November 11, 2005

Doesnt show in a cache that I can see

How did you check?

How did you check?

pq centred on gloucestershire, containing TBs, then looked for the icon in the preview.

Dont know if that gets them all though.

I bet you five pounds that I will have a white jeep in my possession within three weeks

November 11, 2005

Stuey, do I look like I fell off the last passing asteroid!! On reflection don't answer that

I'm sure you are odds on favorite!

Cool, Exeter is nearer than Cornwall.

2nd thoughts

Stuey, Hampshire is lovely at this time of year and still really sunny and warm, time for a visit? Dog walking in the New Forest is idyllic.

November 11, 2005

Cornish Jeep will be released within the next 24 hours.

November 11, 2005

Glad people are so excited re the jeep. Do people want me to say on the forums in future when one of our geocoins goes live with a new icon??? Will that create as much excitement as the jeep? Another 400m round trip perhaps? Do you dabble in coins Stuey? A pint (if we ever meet) says you don' have a white jeep by the start of December.

I deleted all my virtual coins (that I am unable to actually see) from my profile, so I am now a collector of real icons only. That includes coins. My target after that will be one cache per county... that's going to take some doing!

You're on for the pint re the White Jeep.... and I'll be happy to try any of your finest Wiltshire real ales

You're going to delete every find but one in each county??!

That will take some doing, you've got every one in Devon haven't you?

oops.. forgot the "at least" one in every county :rolleyes: I'd hate to delete all my Devon logs bar one!

As for every one in Devon, nope.... there are still about 40 yet to get. Many of them are very long walks on Dartmoor. It would be nice to get them all, but with this many active cachers in the county it's a difficult target to reach.

November 11, 2005

A certain cacher in Devon will have a white jeep before any of you all,no names at the moment though!!! :rolleyes:

There are thousands of them I think, but they were all released in the States.

There's 5001 Yellow Jeep TB's and just 5000 White Jeep TB's. They were released exclusively in the States as both sets of TB's have/had a competition to win a Jeep 4x4, which is /was exclusively only open to cachers based in the US. That's why so few have made it to these shores. It's a commercial sponsorship arrangement.

IC. Is the competition still running in USA? :laughing: If it has finished, I would have thought more jeeps would have migrated eastwards by now...rather like those yellow plastic ducks that are supposed to be drifting around in the ocean currents Mrs B

And the Cornish Jeep race is won by Minimise. Well done Rhona. :signalviolin:
