+Desert_Warrior Posted November 4, 2002 Author Share Posted November 4, 2002 Wonder which country dropped out? Maybe there wasa coup overnight, and one country took over another just to get the Geocaches. I hate it when that happens, but Jeremy is right on top of the latest happennings. Good job guys. Mike.

+Team Kona Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 I just hang around in the background mostly reading posts but I figured that I would give this one a shot... By the way, I am in NO WAY saying that this list is perfect, I was just bored and had some time on my hands so I compiled a list... These are the countries that we are missing (to the best of my knowledge)... Afghanistan Albania Algeria Angola Anguilla Antigua & Barbuda Armenia Bahrain Bangladesh Belarus Benin Brazil Brunei Burkina Faso Burma Burundi Cameroon Cape Verde Central Africa Republic Chad Comoros Congo, Democratic Republic of Congo, Republic of Côte d'Ivoire Djibouti El Salvador Equatorial Guinea Eritrea Ethiopia Gabon Gambia, The Georgia Ghana Grenada Guadeloupe Guinea Guinea-Bissau Iran Korea, North Kuwait Kyrgyzstan Laos Madagascar Malawi Maldives Mauritania Micronesia, Federated States of Moldova Mozambique Nauru Nepal New Caledonia Nicaragua Niger Nigeria Pakistan Palau Papua New Guinea Paraguay Qatar Rwanda Saint Kitts and Nevis Saint Lucia Saint Vincent & the Grenadines Samoa San Marino São Tomé & Príncipe Sierra Leone Solomon Islands Somalia Sri Lanka Sudan Suriname Tajikistan Togo Trinidad & Tobago Turkmenistan Tuvalu Uzbekistan Vanuatu Vatican City (Holy See) Western Sahara Yemen Zaire Zambia Zimbabwe I think that is it... -Erin (afternote... doing a bit more research I thought maybe adding 'East Timor' but I'm not sure if it is or isn't a country.)

There's like close to 50 in Brazil. quote:Saint Lucia 2 caches, according to the front page. quote:Saint Vincent & the Grenadines 1 cache, but it hasn't been found in a year and a half.

There's a cache listed for "Western Samoa", which is what Samoa called itself until a few years ago. quote:(afternote... doing a bit more research I thought maybe adding 'East Timor' but I'm not sure if it _is_ or _isn't_ a country.) Well, they've applied to become part of the UN, so that means, um... I'm going to be off backpacking next year, and I've still got plans to be a Johnny Cache-seed and plant caches in some of the unclaimed Asian countries like Laos, Burma, and Nepal - even if they're just virtuals.

+Team Kona Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 ok... so I knew my list was going to get picked apart but I think even with my couple of mistakes I think I did alright... In regards to Brazil I thought that I had taken that one out because I KNEW there were caches there but I must have missed it. As far as Bangldash goes I'm not aware of one there. And as far as those other ones go I am not sure.... I will have to look into it more. Sorry the list wasnt perfect... I tried. -Erin Quote Link to comment
+ooga booga Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 Hey, it was a pretty good effort...I know I've sat and looked at the list of countries and wondered which ones were missing. For that matter, I haven't even been able to figure out what country 152 is. I looked again for the mystery Bangladesh cache, but it looks like it must've been archived...someone once posted a list of four or five countries that have had caches at one time, but no longer do.

+TAT Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 I was also bored this weekend and counted 136 countries in the pull down list. 136+86=222, Two corrections make the total 220, there may be one non-country. But, here's a riddle: What is the eastern most and western most country in the world? Quote Link to comment

+Planet Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 Desert Warrior, (somewhat off topic but) Spirit has a beef basted rawhide bone to play with in that photo. That basting must have been loaded with food coloring because the snow turned red, his paws turned red and his "Dad" thought he'd been hurt. Next time I buy the non-colored ones. Baron, with the tongue, just happened to be licking his chops when I snapped the photo, I hadn't noticed until I looked at the photo, it cracked me up. Thanks for asking, they're two of my best buds.

The 2 Dogs Posted February 26, 2003 Share Posted February 26, 2003 There may not be a cache in Papua New Guinea but there is one pretty dadgum close on the northern tip of Cape York. Caching in PNG would be a real adventure, as they have jungle that is reputed as being totally impenetrable. Beyond these barriers of foreboding vegetation live tribes who have never seen a white man and may even still practice cannibalism. Hounddog Quote Link to comment
