+Andromeda321 Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Wow. Having been to Copenhagen and seen the plethora of excellent caches everywhere I'm more just amazed that there was enough space in Denmark for that big a power trail! Quote Link to comment
+L0ne.R Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 yesterday August 31 2013 we released 2159 caches 26 different Cache Owerners worked together for one year, planning and making all this possible. more info here: http://coord.info/GC43AG3 Wow! Did the reviewer(s) cry? Quote Link to comment
+OZ2CPU Posted September 1, 2013 Author Share Posted September 1, 2013 We have been working together closely with the reviewers, about how to make their work as easy as possible, we even created a pc program to make GC link lists, from our GPS files, so they be more happy, and we make less errors from creating them manually. Anyone know how many caches ever released at one time ?? Quote Link to comment
Pup Patrol Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Your reviewer(s) deserves a huge thank-you, maybe a whole lot of chocolate in some form? Astounding what patience, cooperation, teamwork and communication can accomplish. B. Quote Link to comment
+OZ2CPU Posted September 1, 2013 Author Share Posted September 1, 2013 still no one able to tell if this is a world record ? Quote Link to comment
team tisri Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I bet you're glad you didn't submit that lot and then realise each one was only 526 feet from the previous one rather than 530 feet. That would have been a lot of work to correct. What distance does this monster trail cover? 2173 caches x 0.1 mile means at least 217 miles but it looks like it's probably further than that.

+Annawashere Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 The biggest power trail I know of is ET highway - 1500 I believe? So yes, as far as I know this is the biggest. Congrats Quote Link to comment
+OZ2CPU Posted September 1, 2013 Author Share Posted September 1, 2013 (edited) ET highway was not released same day ?!?! right ?? our trail is 909 kilometers = 565 miles at least, I dont really know the real distance, since there are a few places you can swap abit arround also the release party quickly turned into a MEGA event : http://coord.info/GC481VX see the pictures if you cant read the logs.. many other caches was also released, so far all people was entertained plenty the entire day, I was out from 800 to 2200 I still feel really tired Edited September 2, 2013 by OZ2CPU Quote Link to comment

+OZ2CPU Posted September 1, 2013 Author Share Posted September 1, 2013 (edited) >Will they be maintained? YES !! at least that is the plan, they are made by 26 different CO's along the rute, each live close to their part of the rute AND each CO is carefully selected after their stats, low NM and quich maintanence, and also we have defined a stop date.. so this project will not be a newer ending story..

+wimseyguy Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 (edited) Yes, yours appears to be the biggest one day release for the same trail. Enjoy your 15 minutes in the spotlight. It looks like a lot of fun and a great way to see the Danish countryside. I doubt I will have the chance to experience it, but like to think I might. I have enjoyed the three major power trail vacations I have taken with my friends. Since you already have an endgame in mind for this project, I think it would be a very good idea to announce this at least six months in advance both in the forums and on the page for 001. Many cachers will make travel plans around a trail like this one, some with significant non-refundable costs involved. It would be a shame for them to find out a week before departure that the trail is being shut down in a planned action. Edited September 2, 2013 by wimseyguy Quote Link to comment

+OZ2CPU Posted September 1, 2013 Author Share Posted September 1, 2013 Such things is why we made the 0000 info page.. so there is ONE place to find all important info, we can offcourse not update so many cache pages, and we also wanted to use as little as possible bytes on each of them since each byte is 2kb in the total file on your GPS.. and a large file on the GPS = slow and buggy GPS Quote Link to comment
+OZ2CPU Posted September 1, 2013 Author Share Posted September 1, 2013 >2000, the rumor on the street is another 500 is coming you talk about ET.. and I talk about world record of mass release in ONE day.. if you keep add caches, sure the ET will be the biggest PT however not the one with most caches released in ONE day :-) until you release another 2174 or more the same day :-) Quote Link to comment

+Alkhalikoi Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I think this is delightful. I'll never do it all, but my wife and I have been contemplating a trip to Denmark one of these years (she's of Danish ancestry). I mostly want to go see the Lego factory, but this would add to my interest. A couple of days of a biking trip to get a chunk of this seems like great fun. Quote Link to comment

+MisterE250 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I don't like these power trails and don't really count them as real caches in my eyes as they're just about the numbers, not about the sport as a whole. I'm guessing they're probably just the same container or type placed the minimal distance possible between each other, in similar hide styles to make it easier for people to find them - and find them quickly. I may be wrong, and I'm sorry if that's the case. I know it's a large undertaking and congratulations! Quote Link to comment

+OZ2CPU Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 (edited) >I feel sorry for those who have notifications for Denmark caches sent to their phone. YES, we did offcourse warn all people about this, so they could turn off notifications for the time of the day for the release. we also made bookmark lists, so people can get them, or find a nice easy way to put them on their ignore list, it is perfectly fine if some people dont like, or understand, or find fun in caches like this. this thread is NOT a discussion about likes or dislikes, plenty of threads for that, please go there..

I won't do this trail, mainly because it's on Sjælland and we tend to be on Jylland when we're in Denmark, but biking in Denmark is one of the loveliest things in the world - highly recommended (just avoid the wind if it's howling!).

+DeepButi Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Just curious, why are they all mysteries? They are not. I guess they used GSAK with hand entered coordinates (not a download) so the "type" was 'unkonwn to GSAK' and you get a white icon with a question mark, the one in the picture (instead of a blue question mark icon).

+hukilaulau Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 what part of this, did you not understand ? this thread is NOT a discussion about... Two brief comments and then I'll exit gracefully: 1) There really was no "What it's about" in the first post. Just sort of an announcement. Having said that, you didn't seem to mind the POSITIVE off-topic posts... 2) It seems like the newest game within the game has some characteristics of GO: see how many large chunks of territory you can take out of play for the other player(s). OK, maybe I don't really understand GO. Quote Link to comment
