+WRITE SHOP ROBERT Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 How often do you go back and read the logs posted on your Caches, or on Caches you've found? I do that sometimes, just to see who took what I left, or what experience other Cachers had at a place I liked. Each year at this time (My GeoBirthday) I have done something special within the game. The first three years I hid special Caches that were loaded with Birthday Goodies, including Cake and Ice Cream (Gift Certificates). My fourth Birthday saw the start on my BINGO! and Raffle games, and now it is time to celebrate my 5th GeoBirthday. One of the things I will do is to calculate the donation amount that a TB of mine has raised through it's travels. The other thing if to have this short COINTEST for you all to play along. There will be up to 8 prize coins. Each player can only enter once. The answers must be posted during the 24 hour period of August 11, 2008. Each correct answer can only be used once. Here's how to play... Read through the logs that have been written to each of my three "Birthday Bashe Cache's". Answer one of these two questions. 1. Name a specific item that was left for me as a Birthday Gift. 2. Name a player who claims one of the three as a First Cache. Read the answers that have already been posted. If the answer you want to use has already been posted, you must find another one. Post your answer to this thread within the 24 hours of August 11, 2008(forum time). If your answer is a duplicate, or if it is incorrect, you may not post another entry. Good luck and have fun.

Bruce is a Butterscotch fiend, BTW. Our family has a birthday song we sing, instead of the old standby. But, no-one can remember from whence it came. We thought it was a Winnie-the-Pooh special, but I've never been able to find it. Anyway: Birthday, Birthday, Oh! what fun! Birthday, Birthday, Have another one! Birthday, Birthday, all come along! Join us and sing another Birthday Song! Join us and sing another Birthday Song! Well, I can't write the music here, but it's a much better song, and we sing it just for you, WSR! Enjoyed some candy and cake. L an otter stamp and some star gliders. Edited August 11, 2008 by The-Wolf-Pack

+WRITE SHOP ROBERT Posted August 12, 2008 Author Posted August 12, 2008 The B-day present left to you was a Kazoo! 1. Name a specific item that was left for me as a Birthday Gift. "something to write with. It has a logo of a special company headquarted in Marin" You got a nice Moo CD from Lady Esquire at your 1st Birthday Bashe Cache. Happy Face Whistle present was left by rparriot I hope I am correct!!! Happy birthday my friend!!!!!! 1) Kilroy Gang, Celtic music CD!!! WOW!!!! And these are the SPECIFIC Gifts on my list, so these are winners too! Looks like nine winners instead of 8. I'll look further into some of the other answers, but I was looking for people who either specified that an item left was a GIFT as opposed to something left as swag/trade. The other thing I was looking at was those who said this was the First Cache They Found/First Cache Experience, as opposed to being FTF on that Cache(That's just way too easy). Congratulations to the winners, and I'll still be looking at some other answers to see if I missed anything. I hope you all had fun reading the logs. It's too bad you didn't get to go find the Caches, they were Top Notch Hides!!

+BrierPatch Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 Ok My poster did not say in his log that it was his first cache but if you look at his caching history it is the first he found and the only traditional. Sorry I really should have looked for those that claimed that. Thanks for the fun! It was really some pretty interesting reading going back through the old logs.
