7rxc Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 Okay... tried to be challenging, but not that hard... interesting spot to look at from air photos... one that should be okay for our not yet finders... Have to get some sleep... takes longer to think of a new one than to find them... Doug 7rxc Quote

+Juicepig Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 There are no real identifying features in there.. but if you are clever you might be able to spot something that will totally give it away Quote
+mTn_biKer65 Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 (edited) COG Spring Fling Zero-Zero-7 (GC1MGER) Well done. A little self promotion never hurt anyone. I'd actually planned on taking the plunge this year and coming for the weekend but unfortunately "I'm told" we already have plans for that weekend. Edited February 16, 2011 by mTn_biKer65 Quote
+Juicepig Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 well i suppose if you've been "told" then Quote
7rxc Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 North Camp - http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?wp=GC1GRRF (Nunavut!) Fast one... you must have seen it before while searching? Congrats... Too bad we can't get souvenirs this way! Doug 7rxc Quote
+mTn_biKer65 Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 (edited) Here goes #3.... To simplify things I'm looking only for the identified cache which incidentally is one of two displayed that I've actually completed. Now with a new expanded image. Edited February 17, 2011 by mTn_biKer65 Quote
+Binrat Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 Looks like the following in British Columbia: Kettle Valley Railway (Myra) Rock Oven (GC1GD45) K.V.R. #4 - Out With The Old, In With The New (GC15CED) Donkey Engine (GC2G3RB) Trestle Madness(GC2G3QZ) K.V.R. #2 - Old Camp(GC12GZC) Weta and Tito's Loco Cache (GC2F0Z7) K.V.R. #3 - Trestle Trek (GC13CPA) trestle tunnel (GC849A) Step on up (GC2G3NH) Kettle Valley View of 3 Trestles (GC1V3EX) Dang, thought I had a good one, oh well. Congrats, Binrat Quote
7rxc Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 Dang, thought I had a good one, oh well. Congrats, Binrat It was a good one! I was late seeing it, but did it as well... I spent a lot of time eyeballing the terrain planning hikes on the KVR and area when I was living in Vernon... even more when the area was threatened by the fires way back... seemed very familiar. This last one though is bugging me... mostly I don't have much free time this week... On another thought altogether, over on the Souvenir thread, I thought we could id the image source... well, I did a fast check using street view near Saskatchewan River Crossing, and the view from the south end of the bridge, plus or minus, fits the river and skyline almost exactly... of course we don't have the original image, and street view is random spots... but I say it's right around that point somewhere as far as POV is concerned... definitely not Saskcatchewan province... but it seems they are now committed to changing it for us... Have fun all! Doug 7rxc Quote

+mTn_biKer65 Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 (edited) To keep things moving I'll expand the view. Man looks at all those caches... Edited February 18, 2011 by mTn_biKer65 Quote

Welcome aboard! Any questions? Otherwise, North is up, how hard is up to you. If you have not already done so, it's wise to see what has been used already..

+Capers4 Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 (edited) Here is a spot that I always thought was a pretty cool place, although I haven't been there. Sorry it is kind of small, I haven't done this lately and I forgot how to resize. If someone wants to resize it, I'll give them the GC code. Edited February 21, 2011 by Capers4 Quote
7rxc Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 That should be plenty big enough...! Welcome aboard... we need more players. I don't know why that came so tiny, but that map should have copied bigger. Something you did to resize it? I'll think some. Doug 7rxc Quote
+Geo_Raptor Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 I believe it is this one...awaiting confirmation http://coord.info/GC119VE Quote
+Capers4 Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 I believe it is this one...awaiting confirmation http://coord.info/GC119VE That is correct! Your turn. Quote
+Geo_Raptor Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 My hint on this one is...this cache has been on my must do bookmark list(non-public) since I have started caching over a year ago... Quote
+mTn_biKer65 Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 (edited) Looks like "Treehugger (BC's First Cache)" (GC1DD) p.s. #3 on the favorites list in B.C. Edited February 21, 2011 by mTn_biKer65 Quote
+Geo_Raptor Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 yes it is...I was in Vancouver yesterday and finally got this one...you are up Quote

+Capers4 Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 This one might be a bit harder. It might help to know that it hasn't been found yet. Quote
+stagunner Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 not found by a cacher but found in this game,, see a few posts up Quote
+Capers4 Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 Help me! I'm thinking like Entogeek! Too funny! I just zoomed the map at random and that is where I ended up. Give me a few minutes to find another. Quote
7rxc Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 (edited) How about this one. snip: photo removed... GCNZ4G Man of War ( # 7 Boularderie Series) while I was hunting the Vancouver one... I saw the thunder bay one... then saw the one in the map... already found that one... then the replacement... which took about 5 minutes... busy evening... I have time to find one to hide, so watch for tomorrow... or sooner. Doug 7rxc Edited February 22, 2011 by 7rxc Quote
7rxc Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 not found by a cacher but found in this game,, see a few posts up I see the map version... I'm Ok with the concept, but we started with sat shots... what do you think? and others of course... it was started as a 'map' quiz... but this is the first 'map' to appear. Sometimes I wish Happy Paddlers had left a better set of 'rules'... I guess the players will decide... Doug 7rxc Quote
7rxc Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 Since I don't see any comment, I'll show neutrality (yeah right!) by posting both types of the exact same spot! Same scale and orientation (N=up). Map hunters hunt the map and photo analysts hunt the photo... All said in a bit of humour/sarcasm... whatever. Have fun, I am. Got to go back to working... Doug 7rxc Quote
+mTn_biKer65 Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 (edited) Looks like "Third Time Lucky" (GC14ZAV) in BC. I started hunting using the satellite imagery and was in roughly the right area when I accidentally enabled the map view so I thought I'd search for a similar orientation as was shown where I was looking. A couple drags of the screen and there it was. Don't think I'll consider myself a convert quite yet. Edited February 22, 2011 by mTn_biKer65 Quote

I wanted to use one that had no blue marks... but I was time limited. Like I said it can go either way, but there is more to work with in a photo, isn't there? Waiting to see your next one... despite the time delay... Doug 7rxc Edited February 22, 2011 by 7rxc Quote

+mTn_biKer65 Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 (edited) Added a new unzoomed image showing amongst other things a cache I've found. That should help narrow down the search as I don't have any souveniers West of Ontario. Edited February 24, 2011 by mTn_biKer65 Quote

+mTn_biKer65 Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 (edited) Doh!!! You may want to crop that image to exclude the cache name and GC Code I don't know about others but I use Microsoft Office Picture Manager to crop & resize my images before uploading.

+Juicepig Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 well i'm going to take this one - GC2ND2N BUT i'm going to ask moFryFam to pick the next one for me Quote
