+Deermark Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 A big Congrats to Daggy who grabbed her 6000th cache at GC8. What better way to hit such a great milestone than at the the world's oldest active cache. Keep it up girl. Deermark Link to comment

What was it about then? Link to comment
+Team Shydog Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 ReadyOrNot, Please go play cache police somewhere else. The negaitivity of your post is not welcome here. Chris-Team Shydog Link to comment
+Team Neos Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Way to go Daggy! You pick the most interesting milestone caches. Enjoyed the photos, too. Looks like the whole crew had a great time. Link to comment
+Deermark Posted June 18, 2006 Author Share Posted June 18, 2006 (edited) Thanks Sydog. A negative comment coming from someone with more forum posts than finds and only 8 hides in 3 years really carries a lot of weight. Daggy has done more for Geocaching in our state than that non-cacher could ever do in a lifetime. Deermark Edited June 18, 2006 by Deermark Link to comment
+CYBret Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Congrats, Daggy! I think it speaks well of the caching community that so many people have chimed in with their congratulations. Let's keep things positive, folks. If you need a reminder on how to do that there's always a link to the forum posting guidelines up at the top. Bret Link to comment

And, I also appreciate all you've done for caching in Indiana (and Kentucky). I know that many many others feel the same way. We know it's not all about the numbers for you (though it might have been somewhat about the trips to really cool and wonderful places that you got to make, all the interesting things you've learned, and all the wonderful people that you've met along the way; hmmm).

Chris-Team Shydog Hey, I've only got 205 finds, so don't get me wrong, the record is QUITE impressive. I'm just pointing out that only 59 events were attended with 231 logged events. Let's celebrate the correct number is all. Congrats on 5828 finds! Link to comment
+CYBret Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Once again, let's keep it happy and positive...how hard can that be with such a friendly group, right? Bret Link to comment

+Car54 Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Hey, Land Rover - I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that Mt. St. Helens isn't in Oregon. I know that mainly because I spent several years of my childhood in the state of Washington - in the booming metropolis of Walla Walla. Anyway, way to go Daggy!!! I know there's a cache called something like "Let's Go to Disneyland" that is only available to folks who have found caches in all 50 states. Let's see, if you log a find in a new state each 1,000 caches, how old will you be when you get to Disneyland? Mrs. Car54 Link to comment
+Mountain Climber Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Daggy Sorry I am so late but I don't come to the forums much. Congrats on you 6000th find. I look forward to your 7000th find. Best Regards your friend. Mountain Climber Link to comment
+SixDogTeam Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Thanks Sydog. A negative comment coming from someone with more forum posts than finds and only 8 hides in 3 years really carries a lot of weight. Daggy has done more for Geocaching in our state than that non-cacher could ever do in a lifetime. Deermark I think Ready-or-not's hide to find ratio is well within the range I'd consider acaceptable, but that's just my opinion. Everybody hides and seeks at their own rate, according to their own circumstances. I've seen a lot worse ratios up our way...(I've been bugging certain people to hide more up here, I need more finds!!) I don't know what basis you use to call him a "non-cacher", or how you know what his potential contribution to geocaching might be in the future. I'm not sure what his number of forum posts in relation to his find total tells us, if anything. Forum posting is just another way to participate and doesn' t cost three bucks a gallon! He's entitled to his opinion, even if his caching resume is not the strongest on these boards. I tend to lend more credence to those cachers with the most experience, but a couple of hundred finds is an adequate basis from which to form opinions regarding geocaching, I think. About the only thing we know for sure is he has made a rude, offtopic, inappropriate posting and that he has an agenda that he wants to promote wherever he can thru the use of these forums with personal attacks. This is the type of personality that gets beat up a lot in barfights--or maybe he's a kid and he didn't listen to his mom when she taught him about manners.--at any rate, I think we should cut him some slack. Perhaps he could start his own thread about it. I have no problem whatsover with eviscerating him in the forums on the subject of logging event caches, if that's what he's looking for...
