holograph Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 The May statistics are available on the statistics page. The maps and counts by county have been updated also. There were 2 datasheets updated with new GEOCAC recovery logs. The most recent recovery added to the datasheets was dated April 17. The two "not found" recovery reports were for CQ0073 and CQ3410 in Louisiana by LSUFan. What is interesting is that when I pull up those datasheets online, the recovery reports are no longer there, at least as of the morning of June 4. Perhaps the NGS is having problems with their system. Quote Link to comment
foxtrot_xray Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Supposedly, the main NGS database and sites are supposed to be down over the weekend, as Pepco does power work in the Silver Spring area. (This WAS announced on their site yesterday, however it's not there now. So, either the site's been redirected to the alt.ngs.noaa.gov and that hasn't had the new items on it, or Pepco changed their schedule. I dunno.) --Me. Quote Link to comment

You can see this by the naming scheme of the photos, which I also used on my gc.com log. I will go back and find my notes on when I submitted them, which is all at home (I'm at work). Hopefully I didn't report that one as a dnf to the NGS......now I'm worried http://www.geocaching.com/mark/details.aspx?PID=CQ3410 Edited June 4, 2011 by LSUFan Quote Link to comment

+shorbird Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 I hope that the NGS gets their system straightened out soon. There have been plenty of recoveries since March which we would like to see on the maps and in the totals. Quote Link to comment

[/font] That recovery goes to CQ3409. I can't believe I crossed them up. I will wait till the datasheets show up to see. I checked today and it seems that the NGS has posted a lot of recoveries. CQ3410 is listed as a not found. Evidently I either reported it wrong, or as I have now noticed, my actual recovery report in itself seems to state it is a not found (even though I was just referring to the azimuth mark part of the triangulation station).....which I also should have clarified more. Maybe the big guy, DaveD, will see this and fix my error. I did post a pic of CQ3410 with DSWorld which has been added to the datasheet. I also got a bone to pick with Jim. That white parish in the northeast corner of LA (East Carroll) that shows up on his map keeps annoying me so. I may have to go up there today and color it in........then if I'm that close, I'll just have to drive on up to southeast Arkansas and pick up a hiking stick medallion, while doing the Arkansas State Park Geocache Challenge at Lake Chicot..........I really don't have time for this as that would take up my whole Sunday, that I need to be out mowing and doing yard work. So it's all Holograph's fault. Edited June 12, 2011 by LSUFan Quote Link to comment

We plan to get back over near the MS River and look for several older ones there. I did manage to get East Carroll Parish turned from white to blue yesterday, for Jim's map purposes with CP3384 and CP3386, which just happened to pop out on us as we were pulling off the road to do some reorganizing. Funny stuff like that happens. We also found a newer disk DG4769 (2002) by accident as we were heading into Lake Chicot Park. Our Nuvi dinged and there it was on a concrete culvert. It's apparently an Army Corps Height Modernization Survey Station disk, monumented by (I'm guessing, a surveying company but am not sure) Quote Link to comment
foxtrot_xray Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Huh, they really cleared up the backlog. I just noticed that a my reports from June 4th are in the system already. Quote Link to comment
