+El Diablo Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 Should there be a Geocacher hall of fame? If so, who would you nominate as an icon and why? I would nominate Jeremy. that is a no brainer. Mtn-Man for his leadership over the years. Markwell for being the keeper of archives. Renegade Knight for a level head point of view. Keystone for wisdom and balance. These are just a few I would nominate. You? El Diablo Quote
jholly Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 The above plus ... Bill Clinton - he turned off SA that made Geocaching possible. Jim Quote
+Snoogans Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 The first name that comes to mind is JoGPS. He has had immeasurable positive impact on the geocaching community! Quote
+TheAlabamaRambler Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 JoGPS / MaxCacher, for reasons more numerous than I can list but that anyone who knows him already knows! Though no longer Reviewing he has had enormous positive influence on this game and its players. Quote
+Night Stalker Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 Don't want to give anyone a swelled head, but I think El Diablo and his walking sticks would make an excellent nominee. Quote
+Mopar Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 How about Moun10bike. Not the least for the idea of the geocoin. Quote
+webscouter. Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 ClayJar for chat and ratings calculator Quote
+briansnat Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 Markwell for being inventor of the markwell. Dave Ulmer of course Team Alamo. How can someone who is approachng 30,000 finds not be on such a list. King Boreas. 1600+ hides. The Babe Ruth of cache hiders. Quote
+Snoogans Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 Team Alamo. How can someone who is approachng 30,000 finds not be on such a list. There probably isn't a single cacher in the top 100 finds/hides or forum posts that hasn't had a measurable impact on the community. Yourself included. Quote
+Ockette Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 Half-Canadian. Without her, I don't think cachers around here would ever meet. Quote
+Miragee Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 briansnat for his contributions to these Forums. Marko Ramius for being a great Reviewer for our area. Quote
+KC8JZK Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 Clyde, for his program GSAK which has helped many cachers keep their data organized Quote
+OzGuff Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 King Boreas. 1600+ hides. The Babe Ruth of cache hiders. I agree re KB. [And entirely OT: So what does that make me? Babe Ruth now ranks #1 only in Slugging Percentage and OPS (On-base Plus Slugging) -- which makes me Ted Williams in both cases. Or were you using the Babe as an example of excellence with no superlative reference?] Quote
+Keruso Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 The Leprechauns/Keystone for their creative/devious hides in our area Keystone for his patience Quote
+wimseyguy Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 King Boreas. 1600+ hides. The Babe Ruth of cache hiders. I agree re KB. [And entirely OT: So what does that make me? Babe Ruth now ranks #1 only in Slugging Percentage and OPS (On-base Plus Slugging) -- which makes me Ted Williams in both cases. Or were you using the Babe as an example of excellence with no superlative reference?] It makes you Barry Bonds. You've been drinking those oil can sized Fosters since you were a teen. I'd like to nominate those guys who hid the first generation of caches in our respective areas, sadly too many of them have dropped out of caching. Quote
+minnesotabrad Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 (edited) I too would nominate King Boreas not only for the amount of hides he has done but also for the events he has held through out the years here in Minnesota and for the fun he brings to the hobby. I would also say Dave, aka The Cheeseheads for It'sNotAboutTheNumbers. Edited April 21, 2008 by minnesotabrad Quote
+KCL777 Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 There is a cacher here in my area that goes by the handle mondou2. 12952 finds. Thats pretty incredible. We met out on the trail one day and he was very nice to talk to. We have also found a few of his hides and those are very creative also. I still have to chuckle to my self when i think of mondos GEO cache. Quote
+Sioneva Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 I nominate Vinny for his off-the-wall, out of nowhere crazy posts that never fail to enliven a discussion. Not to mention all those Psycho caches that I wouldn't in a million years have the nerve to do... but I sure like reading the logs! Quote
+WebChimp Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 Mtn-Man for his leadership over the years. I second that. Quote
+drat19 Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 I'd like to nominate those guys who hid the first generation of caches in our respective areas, sadly too many of them have dropped out of caching. I'll definitely second this one! Ah, the good ol' days of having to drive more than quite a few miles between hides, and the knowledge that they would almost always be worth the drive because the first gen folks only hid caches in places "worth visiting".

+Snoogans Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 I just found out that I'm a juicer. No hall of fame for me.... Quote
+Snoogans Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 I just found out that I'm a juicer. No hall of fame for me.... Another shocking admission. I've logged puzzle caches with groups that I didn't solve the puzzle on. The shame of it all haunts me. O how the mighty hath fallen in an open forum. Quote
+Jennifer&Dean Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 People I immediately think of: Breaktrack Renegade Knight Snoogans Briansnat Moun10bike MtnMan Jeremy JoGps King Boreas And then the locals, without whom caching in Montana wouldn't have taken off as fast: Leonata & Yumitori Asatruar RScout & SBerrybump Elkhunter & Mickeymouse RAM Explorers MrGrubstake River Runner And even those who should not be named: Skydiver Quote
greenworldfeather Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 I've got a few including Sir Gerald(the current leader of the Utah Association of Geocachers), JeeperDad,(used to be a reviewer and has many history caches along with Sir Gerald) and many others. Thanks and have a great day. gwf Quote
+Kevel Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Flask She was a pioneer in the Northeast. Her caches are legendary and her numbers are amazing. She had big numbers before there were big numbers to be had in this area. Quote

Just so you know, there is no space in TeamAlamo. Well their username, that is. And as for their finds? *Total Caches Found 31783 Just so you know, I just checked less than five minutes ago. Thanks. gwf Edited March 10, 2009 by greenworldfeather Quote
+Vinny & Sue Team Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 My votes, from the realm of caching finds, is Oculus Prime, a famed hoax finder (with many hundreds of finds before they were removed by the admins), and also the famed Geoposer, who logged finds on extreme 5/5 caches all across the world in one sort afternoon. My vote from the realm of forum posts is, well, I will post a note about that shortly.... Quote

It is indeed certain that you would never, in a million years, have the nerve to do any of my Psycho Urban caches! On the other hand, your nemesis Lalynya became, the other day, the first person to tackle Psycho Urban Cache #9 - Hot Glowing Tribulations solo and survive, and also succeed at it! You see, she has courage, while you, well, you only have the courage to pop the pop-tops on your cans of cheap American swill, I mean, beer, and settle into the sofa and watch a G-rated movie on TV!

Jake - Team A.I. Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 I think President Reagan would be a good candidate to be inducted, considering none of us civilians would have GPS units... if it wasn't for him. You didn't think they originally planned to let just anyone play with a multi-billion dollar satellite system? When Korean Air flight 007 was shot down over Russia back in 1983, Reagan ordered that civilians be allowed access to the GPS system. So, if it weren't for him, no one (civilians) would've had GPSr's when the big switch was flipped by Clinton. Of course, there really wouldn't have been a reason to flip the switch if Reagan hadn't have placed the "civilian use order" in the first place. Wikipedia: GPS (Look under the timeline.) Quote
+obxnomad Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 I nominate my grandson. He only has 107 caches, but understands the true value of each and every one of them. It's NOT about the numbers to him! Quote
