+briansnat Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Yeah, but how many caches has he found? A lot. He geocaches under the name "Team Alamo". Quote Link to comment
+sept1c_tank Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Total Caches Found 10517 Mr. Easton, I'm honored to be associated (through a common hobby) with a person of your stature. Congratulations, and thanks for your contributions to the technology that makes geocaching possible. Quote Link to comment

Congratulations, and thanks for your contributions to the technology that makes geocaching possible. Holy carp. I've cached with them at GWIII. (Actually, I think it was only one cache near the farewell dinner other than the three events that weekend.) I'm belatedly honored to have been in their company however briefly. Quote Link to comment
MapheadMike Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 I thought he geocached under the name "WaldenRun". Quote Link to comment
+geognerd Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 I wonder if he knew his work would go on to be used to find Tupperware and McToys in the woods Quote Link to comment
+reveritt Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 I wonder if he knew his work would go on to be used to find Tupperware and McToys in the woods Yet another example of the Law of Unintended Consequences. Quote Link to comment

+fizzymagic Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 A lot. He geocaches under the name "Team Alamo". Heh. Looks like some people actually took this seriously! Quote Link to comment
+Team Maccabee Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 While finding an amazing number of caches, Team Alamo to my knowledge is from California, not New Hampshire... Maybe, Roger Lee Easton caches under a different name? Quote Link to comment
+Nazgul Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Heh, well at least Alamo shares one of that guy's three names, that's kinda sorta close, LOL.... Quote Link to comment
+Blue iis Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Yeah, but how many caches has he found? A lot. He geocaches under the name "Team Alamo". That was a good one! Quote Link to comment
