+Klemmer Posted February 26, 2006 Share 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!

Photobuff Posted February 27, 2006 Share 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! Link to comment

+sillygirl & jrr Posted February 27, 2006 Share 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. Link to comment
+rhelt100 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I will participate. Don't expect much, but I'm bound to find a few. Link to comment
Bill93 Posted February 28, 2006 Share 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. Link to comment
Rayman Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Count me in please. Sounds like fun! Link to comment

+Me & Bucky Posted March 8, 2006 Share 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!! Link to comment
carlebf Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 This sounds like fun and might actualy convince me to go out and look more. So count me in. Link to comment

+NorthWes Posted March 9, 2006 Share 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! Link to comment
+woody_k Posted March 11, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment
+Kidatheart Posted March 12, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment
