OpinioNate Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 When the new site is live, we'll be featuring a waymark on the home page from a pool of waymarks which we have identified as being exceptional in some way. This will work similar to the way gallery images are displayed and rotated on the Geocaching.com home page. What I'd like to request of you all, is that you respond with links to your favorite waymarks so we can fill up the pool before launch. Little help? Thanks Link to comment

+robert Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 So we have to decide which waymarks are more "Wow" than other? You don't have to do anything. Just skip the topic and move on to the next one. Anyway, my favorite waymarks so far (that I've done, I've only visited a few): The Presbyterian Meeting House Unknown Soldier - Alexandria, VA Bridge Mural, Frederick, Maryland Monument for the Confederate Dead from Alexandria, VA Don't know if they qualify as "exceptional" like Nate asked for, but I liked scouting them out and adding them to the database.

+The Blue Quasar Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Okay... you asked. And I should say that there are many I did not include even though they are really cool, but I think Nate is looking more for images than the actual content. Some are cool for the written description, but that wouldn't apply to the OP's request. From the "FIRST of its Kind" Category FIRST - US WWI Memorial Salvation Army Double Barrelled Cannon (see gallery image) Canada's FIRST Geocache American Legion (site) US Branch Mint Nuclear Power Plant Oldest Tavern in continuously operated in Canada Musical Notes transmitted via Radio Waves Babe Ruth's first Home-Run Discovery of the Electron DNA - Double Helix Non-Stop Transpolar Flight (one of my personal all time favourites) Geocache Site (EVER) From the "Monarchs of the World" category King Louis IX of France Queen Victoria of Britain King David Kalakaua of Hawaii Emperor Augustus Caesar And honestly... nearly every entry in the Murals and Odd-Shaped Buildings. Actually, why not just use all of the gallery images from Waymarking? I mean, isn't that what you do on Geocaching for the main page banner? Making this list made me a little bit uncomfortable... being a category owner, I've enjoyed every waymark that has been submitted to the categories that I'm involved with. Frequently I am reading them and saying "Wow" or "Neat" or even "Huh" (like ... "I never knew that"). I don't want anyone to think that their submissions are not appreciated. I started the categories I have because they interest me, and I am really happy with the quality of what has been submitted. I don't want people to stop submitting because I chose some images over others... I applied a subjective "What interested me most in the way of a usuable image for the site" approach. Like I said, some of the best Waymarks are because of the detail of the description, the information they impart to me. That is the best part of Waymarking... learning and seeing. But learning comes first. The Blue Quasar Link to comment
+BruceS Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 I will blow my horn on five of my own waymarks. Each of these I like mainly because I like how the pictures for each came out (mostly by accident). Gateway Arch St. Johannes Danske Lutherske Kirke All Saints Roman Catholic Church James S. McDonnell Planetarium George S. Bangs Grave Link to comment
+Jake39 Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 After viewing Bruce's "St. Johannes Danske Lutherske Kirke" I had to include this outstanding "Waychapel" in Hawai`i Click this link for the -Hand painted interior of this Church- Link to comment
