I think charter member merchandise should be a thing. I was surprised that the big anniversary event in Seattle last year didn't have anything going on for charter members. No meet & greet or swag to give to charter members to entice them to show up and stand out. Maybe for the 25th Anniversary? Quote
+Smitherington Posted May 30, 2023 Posted May 30, 2023 Looks like there were 17 Charter Members at GeoWoodstock XIX. I happened to meet one. Quote

I met eight of the seventeen, including @Moun10Bike who is active in this discussion. I wish you'd been #9, @Smitherington! Perhaps we might meet at Midwest GeoBash. Quote

In the spirit of trying to make it easier, I created a series of bookmarks which contain all the Charter Member active caches. It only goes through caches that were published through mid-October. This was somewhat of a daunting task and I'm sure it's not perfect. I will say that I do not intend to update it frequently, or at all as caches become archived, transferred to new owners, or new one published. Hopefully it will help with finding Charter Member caches since I believe these should be able to be turned into pocket queries? I only made them shareable for the time being, so if there are comments and/or feedback, let me know before they are published as Public. I figured this forum topic was a good place to start. https://coord.info/BMBP0GM https://coord.info/BMBP0J4 https://coord.info/BMBP0MT https://coord.info/BMBP0ND https://coord.info/BMBP2BN https://coord.info/BMBP0K3 https://coord.info/BMBP0M6 https://coord.info/BMBP2JX https://coord.info/BMBP2MB https://coord.info/BMBP2HT https://coord.info/BMBP2MG https://coord.info/BMBP2NF https://coord.info/BMBP2NN https://coord.info/BMBP2QD I know it's a lot to wade through. I tried to make it as regional as possible, but there was overflow beyond the 1000 cache limit in some cases so I either split it up by year or stuck them in the catch all is "Everything Else" which includes most of the rest of the world as well. Are there plans to update these lists? As a charter member who didn't previously have any active caches, I kept getting asked at events if I had any active, so last week I placed one out and would like to get it on this list so people can find it. https://coord.info/GCAC4FJ 1 Quote

+Smitherington Posted November 18, 2023 Posted November 18, 2023 Yes. And I enjoyed meeting you and trading stories. Quote
+GOT GPS? Posted December 12, 2023 Posted December 12, 2023 Still a Charter Member to this day, but have not been active caching. Needing to jump back into caching. 2 Quote
+bigcall Posted January 4, 2024 Posted January 4, 2024 I just got the latest updated CM file from Moun10Bike and have started parsing it again. Apparently we are down 9 more to 349 in total. We're also down another 7 to 279 of those who have an active cache. I'm pulling out the script I used before and will attempt to update the 14 bookmarks that I created and referenced on the 4 Nov 22 post. We'll see how it goes 1 Quote
+DrJill Posted September 3, 2024 Posted September 3, 2024 (edited) After all these years I finally made it to HQ last week. It was an amazing experience and I am very proud to be a CM. Reading over this thread I certainly recognize a few folks such as Moun10bike, The Leprechauns, and Logscaler and Red. I was living in Roseburg Oregon in 2002 when I first heard of Geocaching. I have since move back to my hometown Dallas Tx area. I don’t geocache much unless I am on vacation. I guess I was so used to cool and amazing cache sites coming back to the big city and caches were lackluster. Anyway, nice to see some familiar names. Edited September 3, 2024 by DrJill 2 1 1 Quote
