+Perfect Tommy Posted April 9, 2002 Posted April 9, 2002 The Sisters cache (http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.asp?ID=16934) is a log-anywhere cache but requires cachers in "sister" cities to post pictures of their respective cities' welcome signs or, failing that, "significant/identifiable" city object. I work in New York City and one of its sister cities is London. Is there a 'cacher who lives/works in London up for logging this virtual with me? Cheers. Quote
Moss Trooper Posted April 10, 2002 Posted April 10, 2002 I can go one better for you if you wish, I live about 2 miles as the crow flies from New York, UK if thats any good for you And will do the piccy thing Moss de Boss... Sorta Quote

+Perfect Tommy Posted April 10, 2002 Author Posted April 10, 2002 Thanks but, although it would seem to be the natural thing, New York, UK is not a sister city of NY, NY. Thanks for the offer nonetheless. That said, you still have an opportunity to bag another virtual cache entitled "The (Not-So) Famous Cities of the World" (http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.asp?ID=16259) so it's not a total loss...

+Chris n Maria Posted April 10, 2002 Posted April 10, 2002 I don't know of any welcome to London signs but I could pop out in my lunchbreak and do a picture of towerbridge or another london landmark if you like.

"You can use any method to determine a "Sister City" but if you use a method other than www.sister-cities.org, you must explain yourself." Seems to cover your reservation there does it not ? Quote
+Perfect Tommy Posted April 10, 2002 Author Posted April 10, 2002 Let me email the cache owner just to be on the safe side. Hopefully, I can take a snap here in NYC and exchange pics with both Chris N Maria and Moss Trooper and all three of us can log finds. I'll post here with the result of my chat with the cache owner. Thanks for the help! Quote
+Perfect Tommy Posted April 14, 2002 Author Posted April 14, 2002 The cache owner has responded and I paraphrase: NY/London: If there are no Welcome signs, we can photograph objects (buildings, monuments, bridges, etc.) that are distinctly NY or London as per the cache description but also need to supply lat/long (which can be tricky with skyscrapers blocking sats). NY/New York, UK: Though a stretch, it's OK. As before, objects must be distinctly New York (NY, USA or UK) with lat/long The Bad News: I can only team up with one UK 'cacher on this cache. I will try to contact some other 'cachers here in NYC and ask them to post here if they are interested in bagging this virtual. Since more than one person in the UK has responded to my request for help, I'll team up with whoever first sends me snaps and coords of their city (be it London or New York, UK). Quote

JasonW Posted April 22, 2002 Posted April 22, 2002 I'm pretty certain that there's a New York sign as you go along the Old Coast Road (A191) towards Whitley Bay from the A19 - failing that there's always New York Post Office..... a land mark of some renown locally Quote
