+Markwell Posted April 7, 2002 Posted April 7, 2002 BTW - everyone else: We're talking about getting Wonder Woman into Tecmage's hands in Iowa before they go to Hawaii in early May. Found this after you posted in the Challenge of the Superfriends thread, MissJenn Did I read that right? You picked up Wonder Woman from Up Marsh Creek? I haven't received notification that you logged it yet. Never mind. Just checked her page - I just haven't received notification yet. Must be a bottleneck at the Geocaching HQ. Very cool log. Now I'm bummed - I didn't realize how far east South Bend was. I don't know if I can go THAT far between April 19 and May 1. I wonder if we can find some intermediary person reading this post that could get a Travel Bug from South Bend area over closer to Chicago (West Lafayette or Portage?) in the quickest possible time. BTW - I hear New & Improved Irish Potatoes is a pretty good cache. It's been around forever and is only about 10 miles from South Bend. Markwell My Geocaching Page Quote

+MissJenn Posted April 16, 2002 Posted April 16, 2002 I don't yet know exactly which cache I will place WW into - it depends on which cache I find, first of all. But that's less important than this question: Will WonderWoman be able to catch a ride with Tecmage in Chicago and reach her first goal of Paradise Island? Anyone? Quote

+Markwell Posted April 16, 2002 Posted April 16, 2002 I was just going to ask the same question... If no one can help, I just might be able to do it on April 28, but that cuts it very close. I'd rather have someone else move it closer to Chicago. Tecmage, would you be able to get to the Chicago area between April 28 and when you leave? I KNOW which cache I'd put it in.

Markwell http://members.aol.com/_ht_a/marklent60544/myhomepage/Geocaching/markwellcachemain.htm I just had this weekend shot from under me- work. Tracy and I might not make it to Chicago, but I'm trying to talk a friend into finding her first Geocache. A friend of mine is coming to the wedding and staying at a hotel .5 miles from a cache! We'll be near the cache a few times before we head West on the 5th. Cross your fingers. Richard Quote
+Markwell Posted April 17, 2002 Posted April 17, 2002 The cache I'd be placing it in is a very easy find, especially for first timers. Burlington Creek Markwell My Geocaching Page Quote
BrandonSi Posted April 19, 2002 Posted April 19, 2002 I'm going tomorrow evening to Purdue and will end up in South Bend Sunday. I will do my best to find the cache (please email me any hints) and bring the travel bug back to chicago. Quote
+Team Tecmage Posted April 19, 2002 Author Posted April 19, 2002 Hey All, When BrandonSi drops the Amazon, I think I have a ride for her to Iowa. A friend is willing to drive to Chicago and bring WW back with him. My students are presenting robotic projects next week, and the materials I need to build their maze just arrived today! That means I'm in the lab tuning up robots and building a maze all weekend. We really appreciate the help in getting WW moved to Hawaii. Richard Quote
BrandonSi Posted April 19, 2002 Posted April 19, 2002 Have you placed WW yet? If not please post where you place her so I can grab her on Sunday. Thanks! Quote
+MissJenn Posted April 19, 2002 Posted April 19, 2002 quote:Originally posted by BrandonSi:Have you placed WW yet? Not yet - I will probably do it tomorrow morning (Saturday). I will put a note on WW saying something along the lines of "She is waiting specifically for someone to pick her up and bring her to Chicago, so if this ain't you, leave her here." Sort of. But more polite than that. [This message was edited by MissJenn on April 19, 2002 at 02:32 PM.] Quote

+MissJenn Posted April 20, 2002 Posted April 20, 2002 She doesn't much like it there, since the cache container (Gladware) has deteriorated, so she and I both hope someone takes her out soon. quote:Originally posted by BrandonSi: (please email me any hints) You won't need any. It's a "drive and find." Quote

Here is the cache page and you can see my log there. I visited it after Tower Of Evil, i.e. after I already dropped WW off pictures to come Quote
+Team Tecmage Posted April 21, 2002 Author Posted April 21, 2002 I'm not sure if I will be the one heading to get WW or whether a friend of mine is going to get her. I wanted to say thanks for getting her within striking (Geocaching) distance of us. There are several caches on Ohau and Maui that we're either going to be near (sightseeing), or visiting. If we get her there, I think she will easily recover her powers quickly. Richard Quote
BrandonSi Posted April 21, 2002 Posted April 21, 2002 I was out there in the cold without a jacket looking for close to an hour and no luck! Sorry to let you down guys but it was either hypothermia or a warm car! If I do go back soon I'll give it another go. Brandon Quote
+MissJenn Posted April 22, 2002 Posted April 22, 2002 Thanks for giving it a shot, anyway, Brandon. I'm sure you made a valiant effort. I was thinking about you yesterday as I was in various airports flying home. The South Bend forecast was truly yucky. I feel hugely guilty that I did not give you hints! I did not count on the weather making it extra difficult for you. (Don't forget to log your non-find at that cache's website.) To All Involved: What now?

+Team Tecmage Posted April 22, 2002 Author Posted April 22, 2002 MissJenn, I'm working on an alternative that means driving to South Bend. Tecmage Quote
+Markwell Posted April 22, 2002 Posted April 22, 2002 I am looking at getting to South Bend on Saturday. My wife has college classes that she needs computer time for, so I may just take the boys and go. If all works out with weather and driving, I could have Wonder Woman in the Chicago area hidden by Saturday afternoon... I'll keep you posted. Markwell My Geocaching Page Quote
+Markwell Posted April 24, 2002 Posted April 24, 2002 I'm not going to be able to do any distance caching this weekend unless it is late Sunday. Anyone else able to help the Wonder Woman Travel Bug from Tower of Evil in South Bend to the Chicago area pronto? Markwell My Geocaching Page Quote
+Team Tecmage Posted April 25, 2002 Author Posted April 25, 2002 I'm still working on a solution to get WW to Iowa. Richard Quote
+Markwell Posted April 26, 2002 Posted April 26, 2002 I would not personally be able to get out to South Bend until May 4 or 5, and doubtful even then... Looks like we need help from someone going from South Bend as far west as possible to Iowa. Any takers? Markwell My Geocaching Page Quote
+MissJenn Posted April 26, 2002 Posted April 26, 2002 I'm really sorry that I could only move her as far as there and not any farther west. ----- You must be present to win. Quote
+Markwell Posted April 27, 2002 Posted April 27, 2002 I'm leaving in 10 minutes. Markwell My Geocaching Page Quote
+Markwell Posted April 27, 2002 Posted April 27, 2002 Didn't even make it over the state line. Bad weather and a very late start (youngest was being a proverbial two-year-old). I won't make it over there this weekend. Anyone else able to help? Wonder Woman needs to make it from South Bend a good deal west - at least past Chicago - in the next week. She is currently at Tower of Evil. Markwell My Geocaching Page Quote
+Team Tecmage Posted April 29, 2002 Author Posted April 29, 2002 My friend got into an accident, which totaled his vehicle. If we cannot get to WW before we leave, I know of someone else who is planning to trip to Hawaii in June. Tecmage Quote
