+Maxine&Me Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 Hello. I would appreciate some assistance from a cacher in Northern Canada. I would like to log the Where's In A Name? cache. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?wp=gc3153 I need someone to take a photo at N62.47.xxx Quote Link to comment
+Orangezest Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 You'd have better luck if you used W62.47.xxx, at least you would be on the east coast with more geocachers. Not to many cachers up in NWT and Nunavut! Hope that helps Cheers Orangezest Quote Link to comment
+Maxine&Me Posted August 1, 2003 Author Share Posted August 1, 2003 Good Suggestion, I wasn't sure which way would be the best way to go. I'll give it a shot. Thanks ! Quote Link to comment
+Argus2 Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 This co-ordinate cuts right through the city I live in. See if Moncton, New Brunswick, CANADA will work for you Quote Link to comment
+Maxine&Me Posted August 4, 2003 Author Share Posted August 4, 2003 I don't know a real good way to get the Lat and Long of that area, but it appears the W62.47.xxx would be east of Moncton toward New Glasgow, Nova Scotia. I'll have to defer to you on that one. If you can take a picture anywhere along that line and send it per the instructions, we'll both have a unique cache to log. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
+Argus2 Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 Oops...sorry. I was looking at 64W not 62W as you had mentioned. You're right, it is a little more east of here. Quote Link to comment
+Maxine&Me Posted August 4, 2003 Author Share Posted August 4, 2003 Sounds like a good excuse for a road trip to me, since your so close Quote Link to comment

+Olar Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 If all else fails you could try sending an email to the owner of "Greenhill Slide", GC544E which is right on your requested coordinate in Nova Scotia. Someone could actually find that cache, take a pic for you and get to log 2 finds. Cheers, Olar "You are only young once but you can stay immature forever" Quote Link to comment

I'm sure most cachers would be delighted to have a note posted on their cache page. I would still contact the owner and ask for their permission though.

+The Cache Chasers Posted August 16, 2003 Share Posted August 16, 2003 Wow, this is pretty amazing, we are the owners of Greenhill Slide and it is indeed very close to your co-ords. I was just on here browsing through the forums and came across your request. What's even more amazing is that we have been contacted twice on the "Where's in a Name" cache and were able to do both of them near our home. If you like, we'd be more than happy to help you out on this one too. Let us know. Quote Link to comment
+Maxine&Me Posted August 17, 2003 Author Share Posted August 17, 2003 Thats Awesome! If you can snap an interesting pic along the latitude of N62.47.6xx you pick the longitude. Then submit the Pic to the cache log and mention my name in your log, we've got it! Quote Link to comment

+The Cache Chasers Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 Hi again, Sorry this took so long, but it is now logged on the site as well as the pictures. You might want to log an entry as well to make sure you get credit for it. Amazing how this worked out so close to our cache! GAURQ Quote Link to comment
+Maxine&Me Posted September 6, 2003 Author Share Posted September 6, 2003 WOW ! Mission accomplished, thanks to Gaurq for getting out and taking the pics. Thanks to all of the others for the great ideas on how best to approach this one. Quote Link to comment
