+canadazuuk Posted December 13, 2002 Share Posted December 13, 2002 I posted awhile back in this forum regarding a rather large and difficult cache in British Columbia, to which a few replies were added, mostly despairing at the idea of caching for cash. Take it or leave it, interesting or not, you now have a turn at it: OPERATION HIGH DESERT ADVENTURE Not likely to be the last either from what I know. OPERATION HIGH DESERT ADVENTURE is definately something I'd want to tackle if I was nearer. I've taken part in two of the three biggest caches thus far (as many have SADLY noted), but none-the-less, each new cache has a twist, and I am eagerly awaiting the next local installment A WATCHER'S POINT OF VIEW GEOCACHE. OPERATION HIGH DESERT ADVENTURE will surely be watched from many coordinates all over North America, maybe even the world, so get planning!! All the best, and may it be a rewarding experience whatever the result. canadazuuk Quote Link to comment

+Tradboy Posted February 18, 2003 Share Posted February 18, 2003 It's sort of annoying when people who have random signature phrases attached to their posts, and one is not sure whether or not it's part of the post.... Quote Link to comment

+Marky Posted February 18, 2003 Share Posted February 18, 2003 Not a radio promotion, as far as I know. But then, what do I know. When I conversed with them via e-mail, they just seemed like a group of cache hiders who were having fun. --Marky "All of us get lost in the darkness, dreamers learn to steer with a backlit GPSr" Quote Link to comment

Joani says we need to get one of the new Hummers as our next cache mobile. Do they rent those for the day? --Marky "All of us get lost in the darkness, dreamers learn to steer with a backlit GPSr" Quote Link to comment
+canadazuuk Posted February 21, 2003 Author Share Posted February 21, 2003 Well, the cache mission was completed by one of your very own! Congratulations to Kevin and Susan. canadazuuk Quote Link to comment
+Basilisk Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 Glad to see this cache completed and I think its a great idea. I hope to see some future similar caches in the southwest area again. I live in Las Vegas and should have known about this cache, but I was not paying good enough attention! These types of long cache adventures are exactly what I am looking for. Break out the truck, camping and survival gear and head out for a long weekend! Quote Link to comment
+canadazuuk Posted February 21, 2003 Author Share Posted February 21, 2003 The cache was archived at the request of admin. ?????? You can link to it from here still. canadazuuk Quote Link to comment
+canadazuuk Posted February 21, 2003 Author Share Posted February 21, 2003 The cache has been unarchived, and is still there for those that like challenges. My understanding of both virtual and locationless caches leads me to believe that some major revamping is required. Obviously, geocaching.com is going to grow bigger, and the moratorium on new locationless caches will likely be temporary. I know that the 'rules' for virtual caches say that if a regular container could be left, it should be, rather than the cache being a virtual. But would that do a cache like this justice? A whole new range of categories are close at hand is my guess. Adventure caches, extreme caches, puzzle caches etc... Hat's off to those who are helping to push the sport further along!!! canadazuuk Quote Link to comment
