+Snoogans Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Regardless of some of the fine print stuff about what is and isn't a log and what is and isn't a legal cache, you have to admit that - - Visiting the service module trainer and taking a photo of yourself in front of Locker 218, - and then getting someone who is GOING INTO OUTER FLIPPING SPACE GOOD GOD to bring it INTO OUTER FLIPPING SPACE I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE THAT PART and "sign in" to the logbook-less cache by putting that picture in the parallel Locker 218, - and taking a photo of the whole thing to boot ...is incredibly resourceful. It may be resourceful, but the find was not OHL Hockey Guy, it was the "someone who is GOING INTO OUTER FLIPPING SPACE" who made the find. Why doesn't he log the find? The OHL Hockey guy stunt makes a realy great "Note" on the cache page, but not a find. In my first post, I didn't really think he was serious, but now I'm thinking maybe he is? I'm still more offended though that an adult recreational beer hockey league in Texas (of all places), is using the name of the greatest Junior Hockey League in the world. I'm soooo tellin' on youuuuuu. Them's fightin' words..... Wait, pretty much anything is fightin' words in hockey...... nevermind. Quote Link to comment

What happened to not turning a cache age into a discussion forum? Quote Link to comment
Andronicus Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 I chose to celebrate a fellow cacher who was inventive and had some fun we can all share in. Well I'm not sure that I would "celebrate" it. I do think it is really cool!, but not a find. That would make a great note, worthy of a Groundspeak blog post. But it is still not a find. What happens when someone finally finds it for real. This stunt will really cheapen the actual FTF. In my first post, I didn't really think he was serious, but now I'm thinking maybe he is?

E-mailed, or maybe HAM radio data transfer (does that exist). That would be cooler, but still not a find. For the 3rd or 4th time; Why Oh Why didn't the space person log the find instead of OHL Hockey guy? Then there would be no debate. OHL Hockey guy could still have a note on the page, and the actual finder would have a find log. Quote Link to comment

It's no more cheeseball than the original placement of the cache, IMHO. I'm not sure what that "thing" on the ISS is, but it's certainly not a geocache. Moving caches aren't allowed. There's no logbook. You can't find it with a GPS, and no GPS was used to hide it. Quote Link to comment

I think the person who suggested that the guy in the pic and teh guy taking the pic are a 'team' might have it right. Imagine a man and wife who always log under the same account. The wife goes far away on a business trip and finds a few caches while there. She logs them to their account and moves on. They were valid finds, so no one cares about it. She and her husband don't have a problem with it because he's never going to go after those caches anyhow. While she's gone, he finds some micros near home. He logs them to thier account. She has no problem with it because she doesn't like micros. How does the ISS find differ from my man-and-wife example? Quote Link to comment

Am I wrong in thinking that this cache should be listed as a multicache or a mystery cache? After all the cache isn't at the listed location. You have to go to the listed location to find the coordinates (and arrange travel) for the final cache. Quote Link to comment
