+jmobr Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 For this date, I am taking off from work to go to a state road 11, by northeast of Atlanta to see how many caches closest to the road I can do or hide so I can spend 11/11/11 on 11. Anyone else thought about it? Quote Link to comment
+moose61 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I am planning to attend the "11.11.11 1:11 1. 1/1 ..°11.111 ...°11.111" event... (GC35RTK) Regards, Moose61 Quote Link to comment
+jmobr Posted November 1, 2011 Author Share Posted November 1, 2011 HAD to defin check out where that is located! Mannnn I am envious. Got that on my list of places to go one day. Quote Link to comment
+jobrerry Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 We will try to do 111 caches that day including attending 5 11-11-11 events in Ohio and Kentucky. Quote Link to comment
+W4G_SOTAGoat Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 (edited) LOL....this date is no more significant than others! It's really 11-11-2011. Spoils the fun when you add those pesky two digits, doesn't it? Now if it was 11-11-1111 that would be interesting. But, the closest we can ever come is 2-22-2222 @ 22:22. That is, unless we restart at year 1 like in the movie 2012. Edited November 1, 2011 by Clayshooter Quote Link to comment
+JeepFreak81 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I have to work that day but hoping to squeeze in AT LEAST one cache just to log something for the day Quote Link to comment
+wimseyguy Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 There are 11 events across the state. I plan to attend at least 1 of them. Quote Link to comment
+Team Dennis Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I'm hoping to take the day off of work and do some caching. Someone is having a flash mob event at 11:11AM in a park...on 11th Street! Quote Link to comment
+Coldgears Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 (edited) Yeah, i'm going to an event in Cherry Hill NJ. 11-11-11 @ 11-11-11 PLUS, it has GEOCOINS! Edited November 2, 2011 by Coldgears Quote Link to comment
+Andromeda321 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 On 11/11/11 after work I actually will be getting on the train to Paris to visit a friend, and we're going to the France v USA game that night (yes there really is one, talk about a way to celebrate the anniversary of the Treaty of Versailles! ). Hoping to get a cache in then... day after we're going to Luxembourg for a day so if nothing else I'll get a new country that weekend. Quote Link to comment

+Danbike_Lizbike Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 (edited) Why not take a break from caching hunting and pay a visit to a Veteran's Cemetery near where you live. 11-11 is Armistice day. Edited November 2, 2011 by Danbike_Lizbike Quote Link to comment

It's fairly easy to hit a couple different countries on a weekend by taking the train or even driving. Paris is only about 5.5 hours by car from Amsterdam (where Yvette lives) and you'll have to go through Belgium to get there. It's a "little bit" out of the way to go through Luxumburg on the way back but certainly doable via train. Still, I'm amazed at how much travel she does at such a young age. Quote Link to comment

Neath Worthies Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Maybe stop any thoughts of Geocaching at 11 minutes past 11 and take two minutes to quietly remember those who gave their lives so that we could live in a world where we can play our silly game in peace. Quote Link to comment

knowschad Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 10/10/10 was kind of cool because 101010 is binary for 42, and we all know what 42 means. But 111111 is only binary for 63, and 63 is not particularly significant for anything. Quote Link to comment

You know, that's not a bad idea. Now that I'm single again I've been wondering what to do with myself. Yeah, PaddleCacher more or less nailed it- here in Amsterdam for me to head to Bruges for a weekend was 2.5 hours by train, and compared to when I was living in Cleveland the furthest I got in 2.5 hours of driving was Pittsburgh. Paris is just over three hours on the high-speed train line from here, so a completely doable weekend, and the friend I'm meeting up with likes to collect new countries so we're doing a daytrip over on Saturday (I think that'll be 2 hours each way or so). In some ways mind this isn't too impressive, in case you missed the post a Dutch team just set a geocaching record of 15 countries in 24 hours. Quote Link to comment
+hzoi Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 (edited) A local cacher just had a "welcome home the troops" event cache archived due to a personal agenda. I don't get that. I do. I didn't get welcomed home by anyone except my wife, when she picked me up from the Frankfurt airport after my year in the sandbox. Neither did she really get any support during the year I was gone. So, believe me, I have no problem with this particular cache agenda. But if one agenda gets an event, then all of them can, good or bad. Klan meetings, Westboro "Baptist Church" hate festivals, NAMBLA conferences, what have you. Do you want geocaching associated with this kind of agenda? 'Cause I don't. The idea is that geocaching is about geocaching, and that's it. And if we have to keep some good agendas out to keep the bad agendas out, so be it.

Surprisingly, I was able to find quite a few caches further south, despite the rash of downed trees, limbs and branches. The CT Cachers (See Discussion) are raring to go!!

I greatly appreciate it. You make valid points but welcoming troops leading to NAMBLA or Klan meeting events is a bit of a stretch. That would be like saying if we allow little girls to become girl scouts and join exclusive female organizations like that what's next? They become strippers? I've attended over 20 events, several had an agenda, but they were approved, such as celebrating November, supporting a children's home, supporting an animal shelter and one at a event open to the public, which I was told be a reviewer that events created at third party events open to the public are not approvable. Just asking for consistentcy. Edited November 5, 2011 by TerraViators Quote Link to comment
+RhinoInAToga Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Crssedup & I are hosting an 11-11-11 event here in Charleston. There are two major 11-11-11 events nearby. One in Savannah and one in Myrtle Beach. So there won't be a huge turnout, but we get to meet other cachers in the area that aren't traveling to the big events. We have it listed on the event page to let us know if any of the cachers coming are veterans, and crssedup is a veteran, so we're going to do a little something special for them. Not huge, it's just a small meet & greet, we can't do anything huge.. but just a little something to show appreciation for their service. Maybe not the biggest plans.. but we've never hosted a meet & greet before, so we're really looking forward to it. Quote Link to comment

+Ambrosia Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 My 17 year old daughter actually requested that we go to the Veteran's Day Parade. There's a flashmob in town at 11am, but I'm not going for two reasons: I don't want to attend a flashmob, and if I'm at the flashmob, how can I be at the parade? Quote Link to comment
Clan Riffster Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 If I remember, I'll dash out and grab a 1/1. If memory serves, there is a challenge cache that requires you to log a 1/1 on 11-11, (of any year), to log a find on. Whether or not I'll ever locate that challenge is debatable, but at least I'll have the option. Quote Link to comment
