+Algonquin Bound Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 Hi Everyone, I'm looking for someone to help me log the Where's In A Name? cache. If someone could take a nice photograph of the area at the co-ordinates, with the GPS showing the co-ordnates in the pic, and e-mail it to me, I would be most grateful. The bonus is that you also get to log a find for the cache. Cheers! Ian. Quote Link to comment

+Algonquin Bound Posted October 21, 2003 Author Share Posted October 21, 2003 Hey Objets, Well, have a look at the cache site, but basically it says this: "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! 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." So, you would be the "other Geocacher" referred to. You take a picture somewhere, with the GPS showing the co-ordinate I have supplied. The other co-ordinate can be whatever suits you or whatever would make a good picture. Once you e-mail me the photo, we both log a find for the cache. International Geo-collaboration. Kinda cool. Obviously it is easier if you have a digital camera, so that you could just upload it directly, but a scanned print would work, too. Let me know if you're into it and you're off to the races. Cheers!

+Algonquin Bound Posted October 21, 2003 Author Share Posted October 21, 2003 Incidentally, the topic has the co-ordinate, but it doesn't show when IN the topic, so hear it is. N25 46.67 Cheers! Ian. Quote Link to comment
+OB Jets Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 Consider it done. Im down there 4 days a week(thurs will be the next day) so if i find something worth looking at ill have the pic for you by say fri or sat. Objets Quote Link to comment
+OB Jets Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 Ian, Consider it done. I am down that way 4 days a week(thurs will be the next day) and ill look for something photo worthy and send it to you. Objets Quote Link to comment
+Algonquin Bound Posted October 21, 2003 Author Share Posted October 21, 2003 Wow! That's fantastic! I would never have dreamt I would get such a positive response, so quickly. Thank you very much. Cheers! Ian. Quote Link to comment
+OB Jets Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Honestly this one spooks me. It like WAY too close to where i work. Go figure...Objets PS no chance you are anwhere near 62 53 27 ? Quote Link to comment
+Algonquin Bound Posted October 22, 2003 Author Share Posted October 22, 2003 That's cool. I'm nowhere near the co-ordinates you asked about, but if you look at the site (see first post), there is a link that takes you to a list of cities and their latitude and longitude. That is how I found that Miami worked for me. You might have luck in Nova Scotia or the Northwest Territories, or even Alaska. You could also try Russia, Africa, South Amercia nd probably many more, but the list is a good place to start. Once you narrow it down a bit, you could feed those co-ordinates into Mapquest, then finesse your search from there (I think!). Then find a forum serving that area and post a query. Since you get to log a find, if you take my picture, I've written to the cache owner, Crusso, to find out if you can log another find, based on your own name. Cheers! Ian. Quote Link to comment
+Algonquin Bound Posted October 23, 2003 Author Share Posted October 23, 2003 Just received this from the cache owner: "Each cacher can log this one a total of twice.Once each as a photog and as a user ID." Nice! So, when you get someone to take a pic for you, you'll have two finds. Cheers! Ian. Quote Link to comment
+OB Jets Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 Ian, Got your numbers. Im afraid that its not anywhere too exciting...a Walgreens parking lot about a mile south of my office. How do you want me to get you the pics ? objets Quote Link to comment
+Algonquin Bound Posted October 25, 2003 Author Share Posted October 25, 2003 Hey Objets, Thank you so much for the pics. I've posted them on the site and logged my find. You can log on and log a find there, too. Thanks again. Good luck with your name, since you can definitely log another find when you get that done. All the best! Cheers! Ian. Quote Link to comment
+OB Jets Posted October 25, 2003 Share Posted October 25, 2003 Ian, Ive already logged a find for that cache. I will need to get someone to get a pic of my numbers in order to log it again. Objets Quote Link to comment
