+Roman! Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 (edited) Due to a misposted thread, a work trip and some dumb luck I got to visit and critique one of mr.yuk's caches, he got two thumbs up. Due to another work trip to Toronto I have a plan to drive back to Vancouver via Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, South Dakota, Montana, Idaho, and Washington. My question is: who's cache should I judge next? Here is a link for my route: I am willing to go 2 hours or so off route for I am the judge, the jury and the executioner. Whoever posts the cache for me to judge that I select I will send a geocoin, don't know yet which one, as well as whoever's cache I judge I will send one too. The person I judge must be fairly active on the forums. Edited June 29, 2013 by Roman! Quote Link to comment

Mr.Yuck Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Glad you're not coming through RI. Oh, it wasn't so bad. On my very high traffic (614 visits) cache, I had visions of him finding it poorly hidden by n00bs, full of geojunk, and finding garbage washed up along the Niagara River shore (which happens, hey, it all flows from Lake Superior, and points east). But I was good. My only regret wasn't following my "own thread" fast enough, and not driving up there to meet him (10.7 miles from my home coordinates). So if you're giving away Geocoins, does that mean I get to go up there and grab one of the two Roman! Pathtags you put in my cache? Quote Link to comment

+Markwell Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 You realize you'll be driving near one of the oldest and longest surviving caches? GC28 would only add 6km of driving to your trip.

Yes, it is interesting to find the caches of Forum posters. Check me out, I've found a cache placed by Keystone. I even gave it a favorite point. I was going to find a BrianSnat cache (placed in memory of a deceased cacher), but the wife wouldn't let me on the way home from New York City. I've actually spent a lot of time in Central New Jersey, but Snat is a little north, and I've never found one of his caches. I have two earthcaches, and I can remember about 4-5 people over the years when sending the answers to me saying they knew me from my forum posts. Those were people who said they mostly agree with me though. I'm sure many who think I'm an asshat just don't say anything. Quote Link to comment

It was really placed in December 2001, and has an obvious typo in the date placed field. Nothing sinister going on there, just a typo that the cache owner is never going to fix.

+TL&MinBHIL Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I like Roman's idea. Well not necessarily the whole judging thing, I'm indifferent on that. I understand that's just his little gimmick, but the concept is pretty cool. Tell people where you're going and ask them to list their interesting & worthwhile caches along the way. It seems like a good way to find some good ones along a route that you might otherwise drive right by. While I would be pleased if a forum regular would find one of my caches, I don't really need someone to critique them. I'm satisfied with all my hides,(the few I have.) and hope that everyone who finds one likes it. However, the idea of looking for and finding caches hidden by those I see posting here regularly does sound fun. When I travel, I would go out my way to find one. So you're kind of like a Geocaching.com forum poster groupie? Personally I think it's silly to put someone on a Geocaching pedestal simply because they spend a lot of time posting in the forum. But whatever floats your boat. Quote Link to comment

Well, the date says what the date says, and people drive hundreds of miles out of their way to use it for a January, 2001 Jasmer find, so whatever floats their boat. Most people, I doubt are even aware of the controversy. It's just that the cache owner, for whatever reason, refuses to change his typo. Unless of course you want to believe he hiked out in the woods on a Tuesday in January, and left a cache sitting there for 11 months and one day before joining Geocaching.com, and submitting it. In addition to NovaNikki, the REAL oldest active cache in Ohio has a cache page that mentions the fraudulent placed date on Ancient Lake. Which is not only beloved for it's rare January 2001 placed date for Jasmer, but also holds the phony title of oldest active cache in Ohio. Quote Link to comment
+The Jester Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 You might want to read the NovaNikki cache page first, which explains how Ancient Lake is a fraud, and wasn't really placed in Janunary 2001. It was really placed in December 2001, and has an obvious typo in the date placed field. Nothing sinister going on there, just a typo that the cache owner is never going to fix. That doesn't stop people from driving hundreds of miles out of their way to make geo-pilgrimages to it though. Hmmm, that kinda sucks, to me it looks like it was place in 10/01 instead of 01/01 but either way it is not correct, Thanks for that info. Well, the date says what the date says, and people drive hundreds of miles out of their way to use it for a January, 2001 Jasmer find, so whatever floats their boat. Most people, I doubt are even aware of the controversy. It's just that the cache owner, for whatever reason, refuses to change his typo. Unless of course you want to believe he hiked out in the woods on a Tuesday in January, and left a cache sitting there for 11 months and one day before joining Geocaching.com, and submitting it.

We had one like that around here, until one of the Reviewer/Lackey changed the date to the orginal hide date. Quote Link to comment

All the people fawning over their prized January 2001 find, and finding the allegedly "oldest active cache in Ohio". By the way, I'm familiar with this situation since I live about 350 miles away, and own a 2001 mini-Jasmer challenge. The other available January 2001 caches are in Massachusetts about the same distance away in the opposite direction. I'm thinking this guy has to be seeing these two caches with write-ups dissing his placement date and obvious typo, and will eventually do the right thing. Hasn't happened yet though.
