+Odyssey Posse Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Daniel Oliveira suggested I post my request here. If someone could translate it for me, I would greatly appreciate it! My name is Duane Bolin, and my Geocaching username is Odyssey Posse. Here is a link to my Geocaching profile: http://www.geocaching.com/profile/?guid=29...c2-a1e7f4ed9836 I am writing to ask if you would help me obtain a personal waymark based upon my username. Here is a link to the Waymarking category called "Where's In A Name?": http://www.Waymarking.com/cat/details.aspx...3f&exp=True That page explains what it is I am trying to do. My username (Odyssey Posse) converts numerically to the following North latitude line: N 40 17.397. What I need someone in Portugal to do is the following: Take a photo of your GPSr (with the coords clearly visible) at ANY coord. (choice is yours) that intersects with N 40 17.397. For example, it could be taken at the intersection of N 40 17.397 and ANY longitude. A photo of the surrounding area would be great as well! Then, just email me the photos with any details you want to share about the area. If this sounds like something you could help me with, let me know! Thanks for your help! Duane Bolin Odyssey Posse P.S. My son, Seth, is an 11-year-old futbol (yes, we call it "soccer" here in the U.S.) player, and he idolizes Cristiano Ronaldo. He once wrote a school paper about his dream of playing for the Portuguese National Team. It broke my heart to explain to him how his U.S. citizenship would likely impede that dream. :-) Quote Link to comment
+danieloliveira Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 (edited) Making a copy of this to post on the national forum. Done! Link here. Edited June 17, 2009 by danieloliveira Quote Link to comment
pimigas Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Se calhar era mais fácil falar com um tipo qualquer do Nevada.... Não percebi porque tem que ser Portugal.... Será que é por causa do Ronaldo? Olha, Madrid também fica perto dessa coordenada... E a Covilhã também! Liga ao Sócrates, compra um Magalhães e leva a foto de oferta.... Se bem que o Socrates antes preferiria tirar a foto em Souselas... para mostrar aos tipos dos States que foi ali onde ele aprendeu a ser teimoso... e a lixar os portugueses!! Quote Link to comment

If you want, choose others in a 5km radius and I'll see what I can do. Cheers! Quote Link to comment
+Odyssey Posse Posted June 18, 2009 Author Share Posted June 18, 2009 ANY longitude would be fine. The key for the waymark is the N 40 17.397 latitude, so any longitude that intersects with that latitude would work. Thanks so much for the help! Duane Odyssey Posse Quote Link to comment
