+ceranes Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 (edited) Does anybody know what happened to the Geocaching University website? They had some great downloadable resources, especially log sheets and brochures to give to inquisitive muggles.. Chris Edited August 8, 2016 by ceranes Quote Link to comment
+threenow24 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 The website folded. I agree, it was a great resource that I used many times. IIRC the site has been gone about a year, maybe two. Quote Link to comment
+lumbricus Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 You can study Geocaching at a university? What an amazing news! I have to think about a second degree. 1 Quote Link to comment
+frinklabs Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 brochures to give to inquisitive muggles I carry a bunch of these: That's a crappy image; the PDF looks much nicer. Here's a link to a version set up for double-sided printing: What Is Geocaching Folding Card Quote Link to comment
+NYPaddleCacher Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 You can study Geocaching at a university? What an amazing news! I have to think about a second degree. Yes, there is actually a for-credit class on geocaching one can take at the Ivy league university where I work. I occasionally get logs on my hides which mention finding it as part of the class. Since most of the students here come from other places I have no idea if they continue to play the game once they leave the university. Quote Link to comment
+MKFmly Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 As for the website "geocacher-u.com" according to the wayback machine it was still alive (but likely dormant, last entrys seem to be 2011) in January 2016. You may be able to find what your looking for through that service. https://web.archive.org/web/20160113131800/http://geocacher-u.com/ Its not pretty but with patience and determination some of the downloads and articles are still available. https://web.archive.org/web/20081203003020/http://www.geocacher-u.com/resources/stashnote-35mm.pdf Quote Link to comment
+sduck Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Geocaching University was run by CYBret, who may or may not still be an active geocacher. He's a friend on facebook and instagram, and I've met him live in person at several geowoodstocks. Quote Link to comment
+speakers-corner Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 He is still active and will run an Event in September. Quote Link to comment
+wimseyguy Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 I chatted with Cybret a few days ago. One of our locals was looking for his tri-fold brochure from the downloads section. The site got hacked and the host became more trouble to deal with than they were worth. He's not sure if it will come back or not. I hope it does. Quote Link to comment
+BluePanther51 Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 There are still some caches out there that refer to it. Working on one now (GC5C6YQ) that use a cipher wheel from that page. Quote Link to comment
