+Shop99er Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 It's about to start!!! GeoBoo's GOLDEN CROW game will begin September 30th. Watch this forum post for daily coordinate listings to one Golden Crows hidden somewhere in Washington. Coordinates will be listed one a day for 24 days and at any time of the day or night so keep your eyes peeled. Players will need to take the crow with them when they find it and bring it to the GeoBoo to claim their prize. No cheating... we have ways to identify the crows. Please post on this forum when you have located a crow so we can keep track of what has been found and what hasn't. If a decent amount of time passes and no one has found a crow we will post a hint.

I attend Geo boo 2009 under a different name Moreorlesk9transport. I do not understand the "Players will need to take the crow with them". with a traditional cache, you leave it behind. With these golden crows, you go there and if you find the crow, you take it with you and them bring it to geoboo. These crows are hidden in spots a regular cache might not ever get hidden. My tombstone last year was hanging in water by fishing line Link to comment

+Shop99er Posted October 1, 2010 Author Share Posted October 1, 2010 Yes, yes.. traditional cache rules do not apply to The Golden Crows. And you do need to remove the crow and take it with you. Bring it to the GeoBoo and claim your prize. The first crow location will be posted SOON! Link to comment

+C_B_W Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Congratulations you will have to tell me where you fond it. After almost calling it quits, I thought I'd check just one more spot, and there, right by where you were parked, in the bushes about chest high, was what I thought was a dead bird. After sniffing the air, and pulling out my flashlight to make sure it wasn't an "ex-parrot", I made the grab! (thats right, a Monty Python reference. that's how I roll!) Link to comment

It turned out this was my Friday off, so I went looking for the Golden Crow, and some other caches in this area. I was about to leave when I saw it. Golden Crow #1 ( N47 41.788 W122 16.508) is out of the game. Link to comment

If this game is at all like the first one there is a prize associated with the find when you show up at the GeoBoo event. You probably could go out and get more than one but I'm sure you will notice people pointing in your direction and whispering among themselves. Link to comment

We haven't been able to snag one the past two years, but maybe this is our year! Hopefully I'll be sitting at home checking when one shows up near South Hill Puyallup! Link to comment

+Shop99er Posted October 3, 2010 Author Share Posted October 3, 2010 My fault... should have posted some ground rules with the first crow. While we can't enforce it we would like to see just one golden crow per caching family. It gives more people the chance to snag the crow and the glory. Caching family is defined as living under one roof or caching under one name. You must bring your crow with you to the Boo to claim your prize. Each Golden Crow can be identified so showing up with just any crow won't work. It must be one of our Golden Crows. Goodluck everyone! Link to comment

It took 2 different tries to get it. I hustled out the door when I spotted the forum post to my crackberry. Looked around for a bit and had to abandon to get to work crow-less (Yes, I was late for work). I went back out after work and ended up searching for another 1 1/2 - 2 hours. You know what? As always, it was in the last place that I looked at. Link to comment
