+Airmapper Posted February 26, 2006 Posted February 26, 2006 (edited) I'll throw my hat in as well. AIRMAPPER Edited February 26, 2006 by Airmapper
+Klemmer Posted February 26, 2006 Posted February 26, 2006 (edited) Woo Hoo! Sign me up also! It's just Klemmer. Even though we have a joint GC.com account, TeddyBearMama is just a cacher / hiker. She just doesn't "get" benchmarking. But Klemmer does! Edited February 26, 2006 by Klemmer & TeddyBearMama
Photobuff Posted February 27, 2006 Posted February 27, 2006 Any club that would have me for a member is highly suspect at best, and who knows if the snow will melt or the ground will even by thawed out by April, but what the heck- count me in!
+wildearth2001 Posted February 27, 2006 Posted February 27, 2006 I'm in (but I dont think I'll be very competative) -jason wildearth2001
+Better Half Posted February 27, 2006 Posted February 27, 2006 I wanna play too. Don't know how well I can do around home, but will have fun just looking for them. Better Half
+Firefighter Skippy Posted February 27, 2006 Posted February 27, 2006 Putting my name in the hat. Sounds like fun.
+Harry Dolphin Posted February 27, 2006 Posted February 27, 2006 Harry Dolphin is looking forward to the contest. Sign him up.
+Goldfinch593 Posted February 27, 2006 Posted February 27, 2006 Please sign me up, too! I'd like to give it a try. I signed up for the last contest but never had a chance to enter any benchmarks. I promise to do better this time!
+Blue Bomb Posted February 27, 2006 Posted February 27, 2006 I will probably end up dead last, but what the hey, count me in.
+Loch Cache Posted February 27, 2006 Posted February 27, 2006 I will try this as well. I have only a dozen or so benchmarks to date so I know there are a lot in my area I can hit. Loch Cache
+chaosmanor Posted February 27, 2006 Posted February 27, 2006 Hey, this sounds like fun! Getting points for something I love to do, anyway: boffo! chaosmanor (Jim)
+sillygirl & jrr Posted February 27, 2006 Posted February 27, 2006 Sign us up. Though lots of the benchmarks here in Hawaii weren't monumented till after 1960, there are some older ones around. We do have a trip to the mainland in April.
+rhelt100 Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 I will participate. Don't expect much, but I'm bound to find a few.
Bill93 Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 Put me on the list. I'm not sure how excited I'll get about chasing large numbers of these versus working a few mysterious ones as I often enjoy doing. But no harm in keeping score.
+BilboB Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 Sign me up. Dont expect much, but I will do my best when the snow starts to melt.
sundance5567 Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 (edited) Sign me up, too. It's high time that I got back here...I have had a very busy year, and now plan to enjoy some slow- down time. Good luck everyone, this should be fun! David Edited March 1, 2006 by sundance5567
+SLO Trekker Posted March 7, 2006 Posted March 7, 2006 Count me in. I will probably come in last, but maybe I can manage to get out once or twice and log a few.
+Me & Bucky Posted March 8, 2006 Posted March 8, 2006 Bucky & I are ready to go! I've been working out of Meeker Colorado the past 5 months, and between the cold, snow, and cabin fever, I'm champing at the bit to go on some benchmark hunts. A week ago I was getting excited! The snow was melting, the temps were in the 50s, and the snow was disappearing from next to the roads. Perfect for those nice strings of benchmarks that are out there. Now there's 6" of snow on the ground with more expected each day for the next 6 days. Oh well, thats why the contest lasts for 4 months!!
carlebf Posted March 8, 2006 Posted March 8, 2006 This sounds like fun and might actualy convince me to go out and look more. So count me in.
Team Morris Posted March 9, 2006 Posted March 9, 2006 Team Morris will give it a whirl! Sign us up please.
+rogbarn Posted March 9, 2006 Posted March 9, 2006 I haven't done much benchmarking recently. Maybe this will be what I need to get out and find some. Sign me up!
+NorthWes Posted March 9, 2006 Posted March 9, 2006 Sign me up! I'm hoping to travel western Prince William Sound this summer searching for some of the marks along the rocky shoreline - if the weather allows. Otherwise, I'll be hunting marks along the Alaska Railroad to find ones old enough to qualify... should be fun!
+woody_k Posted March 11, 2006 Posted March 11, 2006 Go ahead and sign me up too. Since I am new to BM hunting I may have an advantage of the newbie desire!!! LOL!! Ken
+Kidatheart Posted March 12, 2006 Posted March 12, 2006 Add KIDATHEART please. Should be fun to see how I place as benchmark hunting is a small portion of going out with my GPSr, but my son loves it
+The Fossillady Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 (edited) Sign me up, I love a challenge. The Fossillady Edited March 13, 2006 by fossillady

Z-man12 Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 Ah what the heck 2 months into the hobby, live in a remote aria with lots of old disks no one seems to be able to find (including the NGS). Ok I am in. 1 Week man I have to wait now to go find some of the disks.
+LSUMonica Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 Okay - I'm in...LSUMonica No way will I be able to compete with most of you but it will be fun...
+Intermountain Angler Posted March 26, 2006 Posted March 26, 2006 count me in I will give it my best. if I am not up to snuff on points can i still buy a pin as a participant?
gobuzz Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 Hey I'll try too. I found a couple benchmarks about 4 years ago and then fell away for some reason. Maybe this is the push I need to get going!
