+BubbleHeadJeeper Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 i've been caching for around five months now and wanted to know if there is a national place a cache day? is there anything in the works for one? Quote Link to comment
+Moose Mob Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 No. Haven't heard of anything like that. It's a plan that sounds good on paper, but anything that forsces a person to place a cache tends to lead to increase poorly thought out caches and decreased maintenance efforts. If someone doesn't feel they can maintain a cache, it's really not a good idea to make them. Quote Link to comment
+GSVNoFixedAbode Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Also known as "Give the Reviewers Conniptions" Day :D Quote Link to comment
+Moose Mob Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Also known as "Give the Reviewers Conniptions" Day :D Oh.. 200 - 1500 caches placed in a single weekend for each reviewer? The poor souls don't get paid enough for that. Quote Link to comment
+budd-rdc Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 It's probably better to have an "Appreciate Your Local Reviewer Day" instead. Hiding caches should be inspired by great locations and ideas, so they shouldn't be compromised by constraints of calendar based schedules or artificial deadlines. Quote Link to comment
+Yamahammer Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Everyone submit a regular sized cache located at airports, rail stations, under bridges and school grounds - all in one day? Yeah, that'll turn someone postal. Quote Link to comment
+Team Perks Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Come on, people! EVERY day is Place a Cache Day!! Quote Link to comment
+Miragee Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 I've been doing my part. I've placed 15 caches in the past five weeks . . . Quote Link to comment
+sept1c_tank Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 i've been caching for around five months now and wanted to know if there is a national place a cache day? How would we get everyone to take the test first? I think a national Find A Cache day would yield a bigger dividend for the caching community. Quote Link to comment
+Moose Mob Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 How would we get everyone to take the test first? You don't give up, do you? I think a national Find A Cache day would yield a bigger dividend for the caching community. How about a "go take a hike" day? The goal is to get a cache at least 1/2 mile from parking. I hate to say it, but if it were an event,. I bet a LOT more people would show up. Quote Link to comment
The Psion Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Maybe an awareness program on how to hide a good cache? That way, if people are unsure as to how to make a good hide (myself included, but very wanting to learn) they can learn, and if they already know how, maybe it would spark the thought to hide one that day. If nothing else, it could make for good brochures/other literature at future events. Quote Link to comment
+Tomahawk chop shop Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 I think a national Find A Cache day would yield a bigger dividend for the caching community. i was gonna say the same thing..we have a day for everything else...we should designate a SATURDAY to be national geocachers day were everyone "should" log at least 1 cache or i guess this would be the same as the yearly geopicnic in my area..im sure other areas have one to..but is there a national one...wow that would be trippy....mmmmm Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 I think National Archive a Tired Old Cache Day would be a better idea. Quote Link to comment

+Criminal Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 How about a "Replace a Cache Day" where you replace some lame pointless cache with a good one? Just a thought. Quote Link to comment
+Miragee Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 That is exactly what I did with "Agave Grande." It replaced a nearby cache which kept disappearing, which had bad coordinates, and which was placed in a dead Agave in a gully . . . Quote Link to comment
+BigFurryMonster Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 i've been caching for around five months now and wanted to know if there is a national place a cache day? is there anything in the works for one? Why "national" ? Which nation ? Quote Link to comment
GeoVet Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 How about a "Replace a Cache Day" where you replace some lame pointless cache with a good one? I like the way criminal thinks. We've got enough bad caches. How 'bout "Take a Noob to Replace a Lame Cache Day"? Whatever, there's bound to be too many rules involved. Quote Link to comment
+nfa Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 How about "Maintain a Cache Day", where you replace filled logs, dead pens and pencils, and ripped ziplocks in one or more caches in your area? jamie Quote Link to comment
PCFrog Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 How about "Maintain a Cache Day", where you replace filled logs, dead pens and pencils, and ripped ziplocks in one or more caches in your area? jamie Second that.... Quote Link to comment
