It is also interesting to note that the new guidelines that came out really seem to have stifled EC development in the country - a drop from around 50 per year down to 25% of that! I didn't realise it was that bad! Quote Link to comment

+Carbon Hunter Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Thanks Mr Panda - I did not know about Fish Eagle's one. Pity - but c'est la vie. well now we need to get more of those EC'ers up to the new find levels - I think there are very few SA cachers who can show 100 EC finds. I am aiming for my 50th EC hide shortly - 1 more to go! Got to find a suitable spot. Quote Link to comment
+mr panda Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Well done! They are very difficult to put together, I'm very impressed. My 3 took a lot of effort. I can't imagine doing 30, let alone 50! Quote Link to comment
+cincol Posted November 23, 2011 Author Share Posted November 23, 2011 Unfortunately I have almost "retired" developing EC's now due to all the hassle involved. In the past I developed at least 1 in every foreign country that I visited. This year alone I visited 4 new countries but did not develop 1Ec due to the constraints. I might add that here were some really opportunities at places like the Dead Sea in Jordan, the Pyrenees in France and the coastal area of Catalunya to name a few. The biggest problem is trying to find the right people for the permissions and the next is the requirement for the EC to be in the local language. Maybe in the future - just don't have the inclination right now. Quote Link to comment

What are other's experiences? My view is that EC's are still great - and we should perservere - don't give up - and PLEASE anyone thinking of developing an EC - just ask for help - getting the wording right, and having someone with experience read over your text before (especially the questions/tasks) makes a HUGE difference in getting it registered. My latest 2 (including the Duban Climate Change one - took only 2 days to get through (both with 2 iterations with the Reviewer). So it still happens after so much time. Quote Link to comment

My latest 2 (including the Duban Climate Change one - took only 2 days to get through (both with 2 iterations with the Reviewer). So it still happens after so much time. Swaziland is now also on the map with EarthCaches. When I submitted the first one (beginning of October) it was published in two days, but then the next two got stuck in the system for 25 days. After some enquiries to the reviewers on why my EC’s is not reviewed, they disabled the listings and send me some guidance and made corrections on my questions. This was completed and published in two days. With my latest experience and NOT the new guidelines, I also decided to stop for a while placing new EC’s. Quote Link to comment
+Bouts777 Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 My last EC in Pilgrim's Rest took me 3 days, queries included, to get published. That was 5 months ago. Maybe it's time to look at some of my unfinished ECs again. Quote Link to comment
+mr panda Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 My three were all published after the new guidelines (i think), so it is hard to compare. The tricky thing is trying to establish proof of visit without a photo. Finding questions that could only be answered by visiting, that are relevant to the geological lesson, and are not given away by the write up, is almost impossible. I didn't count days from submission to publish, but my experience is they are as quick or quicker than our tireless reviewers for 'regular' caches. I do have an unfair advantage in my professional background, but 2 of three went through first time with no changes (apparently this is quite rare). The other just had minor edits (make sure you say the picture is 'optional'!). Why it is time consuming for me is: 1) finding a geological lesson to be learned that is concise enough to write up in a few paragraphs (or quite a few, I'm verbose) 2) finding a spot that shows the evidence of this process clearly, that has parking, permission, access etc.. (sometimes 2 comes before 1, but usually it has been this way for me) 3) actually taking the time to explain the the process simply and clearly, with illustrations (these I've usually made myself specifically for the cache), as well as some research on the location and processes. 4) proofreading above to make sure it makes sense 5) figuring out questions, what is too much to expect? what is too easy? what establishes proof of a visit? 6) putting together the listing so it looks pretty. 7) proofreading again 8) try to answer the questions with only the information in the listing and the info at the spot 9) adjusting the questions/tone 10) proofreading again 11) goto 6 repeat: etc... Fortunately ms panda is a professional proofreader For me, geology is extremely rewarding as the evidence can be seen everywhere by anyone. This is why ECs are so cool. studying geology was like learning how to read, it opened a whole new layer of meaning in the world around me. The best lessons were always location based, and I try to do some of the same in ECs. Getting it right isn't easy, and I find it much harder than working up a regular hide. The emailed answers are the payoff though. It is always rewarding hearing about how our world begins to open up to other people. Quote Link to comment
+Carbon Hunter Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Nice post mr Panda - I like the process... Good for all of us. And yes, I tend to look for a good spot (parking etc.) before looking for the topic of the cache. Quote Link to comment
+Danie Viljoen Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 When were the new rules introduced? It may be interesting to compare the rate of new ECs before and after the change. Quote Link to comment
+Carbon Hunter Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 If I remember correctly, they were changed on 1 January 2011 Quote Link to comment
+Danie Viljoen Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 If I remember correctly, they were changed on 1 January 2011 Between 1 January 2011 and 25 November 2011, 32 new ECs have been published in Africa. During the same period the previous year, 69 new ECs have been published. Or, to put it differently - during 2010 roughly one in every 25 new caches in Africa has been an Earthcache, and in 2011 it is one in every 75. Quote Link to comment
+Carbon Hunter Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I had been assured in private correspondence that the guidelines have not changed significantly (this is actually true - and in many cases they probably became easier). What really has changed is that previuously there was mainly one single reviewer (Gary or Geoaware) who started Earthcaching and really was actively involved in almost every EC around the world! Quite a job!!!!!! (BTW: He is on Podcacher podcast this week and next week). Now there are more reviewers and they apply the guidelines more as they should be. So I guess we just need to tighten up our wording before submission and be able to justify anything that may seem out of the ordinary (e.g. how the tasks relate to earth science, etc.).

+Carbon Hunter Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Does this mean only the first 17 on the list are potential Platinum Earthcachers? And a few of those do not have enough finds yet.

+Hesamati Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Who-ha! Maybe I can eventually combine biology with earth caching... Biomineral Single Crystals These are biomineral crystals found in a sea urchin tooth. Geologic or synthetic mineral crystals usually have flat faces and sharp edges, whereas biomineral crystals can have strikingly uncommon forms that have evolved to enhance function. The image here was captured using environmental scanning electron microscopy and false-colored. Each color highlights a continuous single-crystal of calcite (CaCO3) made by the sea urchin Arbacia punctulata, at the forming end of one of its teeth. Together, these biomineral crystals fill space, harden the tooth, and toughen it enough to grind rock. From Discovery Magazine. Quote Link to comment

Yes, two of the three are yours - Karuma Falls and Rocking in Abuja. The third is GC2HA30 - Nile and his cataracts, developed by Bim Bam. I can't think of a way to generate a map - I don't think one can draw circles and cache positions on TargetMap. I know this is not what you had in mind, but one can at least see the EarthCache-less countries on this map. (The grey areas.) You can pan and zoom the map. Quote Link to comment
