+hikemeister Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 The first place in the avatar contest, with 7 votes, was....carleenp (of course!). The second and third place winners, both with 3 votes, were septic_tank and Snoogans. Congratulations. I will find some perfect rocks this weekend and start drawing / painting. Once they are done, I'll contact these winners by email to get details about how to deliver them. This was fun -- thanks to all who participated. I'm really looking forward to making these items. Oh yes, I said there would be four (4), not three winners ! As it turns out, three persons were tied for fourth place, with 2 votes each (Team Radius, El Diablo, and Lone Duck). This calls for a runoff vote. Please cast your vote sometime in the next 48 hrs for Team Radius, El Diablo, or Lone Duck. Just one vote per person please. The winner also will get an avatar rock, but as promised, it will become a travel bug and make its way to that winner by the geocaching mail route. Quote Link to comment
GrandpaCannon Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 I vote for El Diablo in the runoff. Quote Link to comment
+hikemeister Posted September 12, 2003 Author Share Posted September 12, 2003 PS -- I guess the way this really goes is that septic_tank and Snoogans are tied for second, and we now are doing a runoff vote to find the third place winner (or is is still 4th)? Quote Link to comment

+Snoogans Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 Dang, they both voted for me. El Diablo gave the last contest. He gets my vote this time. Sorry TR. THANKS soooooo much for this Hikemeister!!!! Sngans Sacred cows make the best hamburger....Mark Twain. Quote Link to comment
+Team GPSaxophone Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 I didn't even know there was a contest to begin with Took sun from sky, left world in eternal darkness Quote Link to comment
+Breaktrack Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 I vote for Snoogans.... no, wait, er, El Diablo, that's it. "Afghanistan was a battle. Iraq was a battle. The war goes on." Quote Link to comment
Team Radius Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 Again....I'm shamelessly voting for myself! I need to clean up the artwork, but I'm not too good with Photoshop. When I do, I'll be planting buttons in every cache I find! And probably be scattering some custom made log books--I've got some cool stuff on order to embellish them with! People would think I was nuts if I told them I was getting excited about a rock! Oh well....I am! Michelle (and Garrett) Quote Link to comment
Team Radius Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 Oh....and to explain my avatar again--we are called Team Radius because my son was born missing the radius in both arms. In the center there is an r squared signifying that there are two of us (I'm a single mom) and both of his arms. Quote Link to comment
+Corp Of Discovery Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 Hmmmmm...decisions decisions...well we vote for El Diablo, sorry TR. Remember, wherever you go- there you are! Quote Link to comment

+Strapped-4-Cache Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 My vote goes to TR. Guess I like to vote contrary to the crowd. Best of luck to all. S-4-C I KNOW I'll find it if I just keep LOOKING! Quote Link to comment

+hikemeister Posted September 13, 2003 Author Share Posted September 13, 2003 Divine's vote definately does count. Yes, probably way too many rules -- but then, it is my first time doing it. Anyway, it has been fun. Quote Link to comment

+opey one Posted September 14, 2003 Share Posted September 14, 2003 The little devil gets another vote here. Yup. That's MY goat! Quote Link to comment
+joefrog Posted September 15, 2003 Share Posted September 15, 2003 Well, if it ain't too late... as much as I like El Diablo & his avatar, I still gotta go with the Lone Duck in this case!

+hikemeister Posted September 15, 2003 Author Share Posted September 15, 2003 The 4th place winner, with 78% of the total votes that were cast is ---- El Diablo ! CONGRATULATIONS. PS -- I think I'll just mail this directly. The travel bug concept might work, but recently, I have experienced several lost bugs and many cases of persons not logging their travel bug finds. No sense taking a chance with this item. Quote Link to comment

Thanks for the votes everyone. Also thanks to hikemeister for doing it. I think sending it by the way as a Travel Bug is cool. I'm willing to risk losing it if you are. I would love to track its progress to me. El Diablo Everything you do in life...will impact someone,for better or for worse. http://www.geo-hikingstick.com Quote Link to comment
