I am the judge, the jury and the executioner.

[+Roman!]

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.

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?

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. I don't know if it stands out as a miraculous cache, but it sure is neat to see how they were done back in 2000.

If you spend the night in the Seattle area, I have three night caches (none 'follow the glint trail' style) fairly close together (two are a 1/4 mile apart): GCHKBB GC10J5C GCRTBN.

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.

I am having a challenge figuring out how to get a car to drive from Toronto to Vancouver, rental companies seem to want $2-3000 as a returning fee on top of the rental, I am willing to pay up to $1000.

There are companies that give you a car to transport but I can't get a commitment until 2 weeks before or a fixed date.

Oops, you're right. I wondered why he was listing Washington as the last state on his list...as for Sparta, I wouldn't know. I think I've driven through there going to La Crosse.

 

I think it's neat when you find a cache hidden by a forum regular. The only ones that I can recall were caches hidden by Gitchee-Gummee up near the Pictured Rocks area in the U.P.

 

I also found a cache or two in Iowa that had BlueDeuce's name in the log.

Ft. McCoy sits smack in the middle of Sparta and Tomah, so I've been to both. One of those cities has a strip club in the basement of a bowling alley, although I can't remember which one. Not that I personally have ever been to this establishment.

 

EDIT: I'm leaning towards Sparta. And by the way, the ticks at Ft. McCoy are like something out of a horror movie. You can't spend more than 10 minutes in the woods without getting a tick on you.

+1 on finding a King Boreas cache. He held the record for most hides for a long time, though with the rampant proliferation of power trails, he may not hold that title any longer. When I was in Minneapolis I found one of his caches, and dropped in a KB tribute coin that I picked up in NY that had never even been to MN.

IMHO my two best threads are this one and I'm a better geocacher than you! both are making geocaching so much more fun. Who knows, instead of collecting souvenirs or racking up caches I might start collecting forum regular cache visits, someone just has to create a stat site for that.

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.

" 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."

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.

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.

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

 

Oh boy, that would be brutal if that happened. 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.
