+DyverDown Posted April 21, 2003 Share Posted April 21, 2003 I am looking for someone near Latitude 39 degrees 41.736 to complete http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=12627 anyone wanna help??? You can email me too if you'd like Quote Link to comment
+Wadcutter Posted April 21, 2003 Share Posted April 21, 2003 I'm close to it. That coord is along the south side of Springfield, IL. There's a cache near those coords at http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=38570 What can I do for you? Quote Link to comment
+DyverDown Posted April 22, 2003 Author Share Posted April 22, 2003 As per the cache page: Now that you have an idea of an area where a possible second coord. is, attempt to make contact with a Geocacher in any area along the coord. that you created above. You can use whatever means necessary for contact. Geocaching forums, phone, email, personal contacts, etc. Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to persuade another Geocacher to get out there and take a photo of his GPS (with the coords clearly visible) at ANY coord. (choice is his/hers) that intersects with the coord. you created from your username above. A photo of the surrounding area would be nice as well! A point located IN a foreign city would make a better photo then somewhere in the woods! Let's see who has the most imagination & comes up with an interesting place. I must be able to translate your username & clearly see that that coord. is accurately represented in the photo. Once that photo is taken, you need to get it into your grubby little hands. Your buddy can upload it for you to the site. He can mail it for you to post, etc. Then you need to post the log for the find with the picture & tell us where the point is located. In order for both of you to get credit for the cache, your buddy must email me stating that he took the picture & reference your Username (or put this info into his log if he posts the picture directly for you). This way you can both log a cache. If he doesn't log, or if you have someone other than a Geocacher do this for you, you will get solo credit providing you have the photo with your log.

+Wadcutter Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 OK. I'll see if I can find something "interesting" along this coord. Quote Link to comment
+DyverDown Posted April 22, 2003 Author Share Posted April 22, 2003 Thanks.....what is the "capbadge" pictured with your name? A military unit insignia? Quote Link to comment
+rayt333 Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 If Wadcutter can't do this then let me know and I think I can help. That Latitude is only about 20 miles south of me and if you still need help I will help. Quote Link to comment

Retired 2.5 yrs ago after 26.5 yrs. Got the photos. Email me at desloman@juno.com include your email address and I'll email the photos back. I haven't figured out how to send photos on Groundspeak.

+Wadcutter Posted April 24, 2003 Share Posted April 24, 2003 Yo DyverDown! Got the pix. The one of my GPS is readable. The location is Lincoln Memorial Gardens near Lake Springfield, IL. Real pretty this time of year with the lilac trees. I've got a few pix of those with the sign. Let me know where you want them emailed to. I haven't figured out how to attach emails to Groundspeak. Send your email address to me at desloman@juno.com Quote Link to comment

Real pretty this time of year with the lilac trees. You're making me feel like a cheesehead. I'm 5 miles from the cheese curtain (Welcome to Wisconsin, Smell Our Dairy Air). The leaves on the bushes here are turning green, but I have yet to see any blooms on the lilac 'bushes'. Quote Link to comment
