+Skully & Mulder et al. Posted January 1, 2003 Share Posted January 1, 2003 This has probably been discussed before, but with 2003 here, I thought it would be a good time to reflect on 2002. Sometimes lists are not fair so we are just going to name one hider that has had a major influence on our caching this year - BrianSnat. He has kept north Jersey cache-rich with everything from some easy virtuals to some challenging hunts. His “Bottom of Lake Passiac III” was our 100th find – and a very rewarding one at that. My favorite BrianSnat caches are “Turkey on Rye”, “Mountainside”, “Federal Hill” & “Osio Rock” Quote Link to comment
+Harrald Posted January 1, 2003 Share Posted January 1, 2003 I gota agree. This guy is one of the kings of cache hiding!!!!!!! Thanks Brian! ==================================== As always, the above statements are just MHO. ==================================== Quote Link to comment
+Mopar Posted January 1, 2003 Share Posted January 1, 2003 For hiding 119 (and counting) caches in the southern part of NJ! Way to go, Tom! Tae-Kwon-Leap is not a path to a door, but a road leading forever towards the horizon. Quote Link to comment
+Logscaler and Red Posted January 1, 2003 Share Posted January 1, 2003 The Mooondog3 team working here in Oregon must lay awake at night thinking about the next torture test for a cache. But your brain is alive when your done. Your butt might be dragging but that ain't to bad. TTFN, logscaler and Red Quote Link to comment

mortonfox Posted January 1, 2003 Share Posted January 1, 2003 for placing caches in many of the best parks on Long Island. Keep up the good work! Okay, so it's not quite my area but I go there a lot. Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted January 1, 2003 Share Posted January 1, 2003 tneigel has to be the king, just from a numbers standpoint. I haven't found any of his yet, but I'm looking forward to doing so. As far as placing numerous and interesting caches, Team GWHO certainly deserves mention, as does The Artful Dodger (who gets extra credit for his cache pages). And the Skully & Mulder team are obviously Cum Laude graduates of the "quality over quantity" school of cache placers. Actually anybody who places a cache deserves applause. Without the cache placers, there wouldn't be any for us to find! Thanks for mentioning me. I'm glad that people have enjoyed my cache placements. I still have a dozen or so ammo boxes, so there are more to come. The question is where? Got to hit the topo maps again. I'm running out of green areas! I jut received a shipment of "earth magnets", so look for guardrail caches next! "It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues" - Abraham Lincoln Quote Link to comment
+crashmore Posted January 1, 2003 Share Posted January 1, 2003 I think this is a great topic. If it weren't for the folks out there hiding the caches we wouldn't have anything to hunt It's about time we thanked them. In the maryland area one of if not the most prominent hider has to be klause von kuhn. He's one of the rare bread of cachers that enjoys the hiding more than the finding! He's had me frustrated with some great hides but I continue to enjoy hunting his. Thanks for all the great hides! ------------------------------------- Hope is the destination that we seek.

+Skully & Mulder et al. Posted January 1, 2003 Author Share Posted January 1, 2003 I'll agree with a couple of earlier posters. He has put a ton of caches out there in south Jersey. We tried for one this summer while vacationing at Seaside. Unfourtunatly someone stole it before we got there but it was still a great walk in a nice park. We are planning on spending about a week at Seaside this summer and I'm thinking we will find about 10 or more of tneigel's caches then. We are looking forward to the hunts!!!

+Dekaner Posted January 1, 2003 Share Posted January 1, 2003 No no... I am far too retentive about getting permission ahead of time, which really slows things down. - Dekaner of Team KKF2A Quote Link to comment
+Harrald Posted January 2, 2003 Share Posted January 2, 2003 I've been thinking about this subject and I think I should add these people too. Not in any particular order Team Gwho BigBill And don't forget Cache_Ninja (who seems to be back in town) These people also are more interested in placing quality caches rather than finding. Between the three mentioned above and include Brians hides (Who I mentioned earlier) they have placed over 150 caches in the northern NJ/NY area. That's pretty freakin' impressive!! To all of you my thanks. Quote Link to comment
etoast66 Posted January 5, 2003 Share Posted January 5, 2003 I have to give a thumbs up to Marty for his quick response to Mxyzptlk and I after we discovered the first stage of Melvin's was gone. The cache page has already been updated so no one else will spend the time for naught. I think it important to recognize that placing a cache is just the start - maintenance counts. Thanks Marty! A nod also to the originator of this thread for an equally quick response to my experience at his Creative Cache. Thanks Helmut. Quote Link to comment
The Artful Dodger Posted January 5, 2003 Share Posted January 5, 2003 Not only does he proliferate the Northeast NJ with caches - they are good quality ones too! I got to hand it to Brian for his excellent GeoSwag in his Ammo Cans. ...and he provides parking coordinates to most of his caches too. Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted January 5, 2003 Share Posted January 5, 2003 Thanks to everybody who said nice things about me. Your checks are in the mail. "It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues" - Abraham Lincoln Quote Link to comment
+lostinjersey Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 ...to brian & harrold for their kind words. I've actually been more concerned with quality over quantity lately so I've been archiving some of the lesser, easier ones, especially those not involved with Weird NJ. There's enough of those around without mine so I doubt they'll be missed. I haven't searched for a lot of brian's caches mainly because a) tough caches generally require more time then I've got available, and most of them are a farther drive then I'm willing to drive (usually). 2002 was my first summer geocaching and I think next summer will be much more productive. I can better allot time to do this as well as my weird nj adventuring (which will hopefully lead to more hides as well) With winter, caching after work is out (for most of no doubt) & weekends are pretty tight so unfortunately it'll be a while before I hit a lot but I'm looking forward to them! www.gpswnj.com Quote Link to comment
