I am glad it is not just me. I just got back from a 16 day trip, and found 52 caches. Now I have to enter them, plus a lot of travel bug stuff. I want to do it NOW!!

[+timpaula]

this is an unconfirmed report, but apparently the site is down because of prairie dogs. details to follow on the #geocache channel.

I couldn't access the forums either during the downtime. Just now got access.

Maybe the prairie dogs gave it the "monkeypox virus"! Seems to be alot of it in the Chicago area.
