+SD Rowdies Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 (edited) The Second-Life piece makes me wonder about Geocachers that opt for cryogenic storage in lieu of plain-vanilla demise. As I understand the procedure only a person's head is stored cryogenically knowing that medical science will one day in the future be able to reunite a frozen head with a donated body. Here's my concern, how will Geocaching find-counts be handled under such circumstances? Will find-counts of the head or of the body apply, or will both find-counts be combined? ... and what about owned-caches, user-names and avatars?

I contacted the ranger and he said that the canyon is still open a few miles in. Some yahoos went in and put grafitti on the walls and there were tire marks going up the canyon walls. Some exploration might be in store to see how it looks out there. Of course it would be nice to get some caches while there too. But that's a whole different story. Quote Link to comment

I still can't believe that people are finding that many caches. When I started Parsa had ~400 finds and I thought that was mazing! You could use an Animated GIF editor to make a dual dancing man (DM) image. That combined with the single DM should be good for up to 20,000 caches -- which at the current find rates should be good at least until January... If I had an animated gif editor, I could just make a dancing Godzilla to signify 10,000 finds! Okee, dokee... Quote Link to comment

Just keep a few simple conversion factors in mind ... after the flip-flop takes place up is down, down is up, north is south, south is north, east is west, west is east, right is left, left is right, latitude is longitude, longitude is latitude, and both longitude and latitude go the other way around. However, as you rightly point out, standing on your head eliminates the need for messy conversion factors. There are other important implications by the way. For example, North and South Dakota and well as North and South Carolina flip-flop. Edited November 3, 2008 by SD Rowdies Quote Link to comment

+SKILLET Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Got this from desertriver. What should I tell Her to do ??? Hi Mark ! Went and got some FTFs this morning then off to the Lagunas where we were not the FTF, however, here is my rant : as we were going in on the trail, two bicyclists almost ran us over - we got right off the trail for them to go by - no thank you, no wave, etc. (which is funny cause at the time I thought to myself that they are acting like they don't want to be seen) and it is clearly CLEARLY marked that no bicycles or horses on trails and the trail entrance is set up in such a way it would be hard to get your bike on the trail and impossible to get a horse on. Anyway, they were two cachers (I know who) as they logged all the logs right before me. And the proof is there that they were cachers cause we followed the bike tracks all the way to the caches which were off the beaten path - no bike rider would just ride off the path where "coincidentally" there were caches. One of the bike riders had a GPS installed on his handlebars, too. Isn't this what causes caching to be kicked out of certain areas, like Borrego Springs, because people don't pay attention to the law.... and if the Rangers at the Laguna park saw that there were cachers bike riding illegally, wouldn't they kick all the caches out of that park? So here's my dilemna, without naming names, and saying such in my logs...... that this is what damage a few can do to a lot ? And I know what their plan is, to get as many as possible, as fast as possible to get to Rolly first. Tomorrow we are going to Lake Morena, which is 9 miles - HIKING ONLY - and I bet their tire tracks will be there. Riding bikes cuts their time two-thirds by getting the caches faster. This isn't sour grapes, it's just - you know - crooked.So, here's my question: should I make mention of this in my log - or not ? I ask because I want to say something but don't know if it is appropriate. What do you think? Pat. Quote Link to comment

Idon't know why the silly Groundspeak login wouldn't take my username, but it seems that I haveto log in as BnB. Yes, this is HTG, and I've finally found time to get back on here and say hello once again to everyone here. It's been a long 90 days since I last came on here, and I know I've missed out on a lot. I'll try to get back into the swing of things here soon, and am working on coming back around Christmas, if I can. I appreciate all the corresponence from Kwvers!, TheHikingMonk, DcTalk007, BadSquirrel, and Jahoadi and John. I've left Ft. Jackson, SC and am now at Goodfellow AFB in San Angelo, TX (Not San Antonio!). I'm going to get back into caching (I don't know how well-seeded this area is, I assume it's pretty light) and start working on some puzzle caches for y'all when I get back. Quote Link to comment

I am certain they know they were not supposed to be on bikes in the area. In yacht racing, when a foul is committed you are generally required to do a 720 penalty turn... (two circles)... Maybe we should make them do the loop twice without bikes... Seriously, though, I've been out on these trails three times and there are bikes allowed on the trail that goes more directly to Phil's Memorial. I don't know if I would have even noticed the sign prohibiting bikes on the other trail. I think a mere mea culpa would be sufficient here... Quote Link to comment
+Snake & Rooster Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 (edited) Unfortunately, this is an expected byproduct of this type of challenge. Our caches were listed as being available only from dawn to dusk because the land manager has marked the trails as such, yet they were found on the first night. I'm sure there are a number of people "breaking the rules" in the quest to become the first cachers to finish this. The best thing about these challenges is the competitive spirit shown by the cachers. The worst thing about these challenges is the competitive spirit shown by the cachers.
