+tozainamboku Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 GW went looking for a cache (of WMD) in Iraq. The French cacher and the Russian cacher said, "Don't waste your time on this, George. At least do some more research before you go looking." The British cacher said "I'll go on cache hunts with George anytime." GW hasn't found the cache. He should: -- I found it in the last place I looked. Quote Link to comment

Goldguru Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 VOTE...NONE OF THE ABOVE... George should admit he didnt find anthing and slit his own throat... Quote Link to comment
+DustyJacket Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 That was rude. Please don't supply the incentive for some Canada-bashing. DustyJacket Not all those that wander are lost. But in my case... Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 Since the French cacher, the British cacher, the Russian cacher, the "united nations of cachers" and cacher Bill, (the guy who got George into caching) all agreed at one point that the cache was there, then George should keep looking. The issue was not whether the cache was there, but when they should start looking for it. BTW, the cache owner had a veeeery long time to hide it and a lot of money to do it (and apparently some help from the French cacher). So this is a 5 star hunt and also way the F off topic.

+Jacksons Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 I wonder if Goldguru is French-Canadian? I'm a man and I can change if I have to,I guess. Quote Link to comment
+Brian - Team A.I. Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 Is it possible he violated the rules by burying the cache, strictly against geocaching rules? After all, that has been asserted by George in his quest for the WMD (large) cache. Shouldn't the admins then archive it for potential breach of rules? Or should we just contact a rogue land steward (we have one in AZ you can borrow), to seek out the cache, claiming it to be on state trust land and confiscating the cache container(s)?

+cachew nut Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 Perhaps it was plundered. Quote Link to comment

Moun10Bike Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 It sounds to me like this is a traveling cache, which are now against the guidelines. This one is probably grandfathered, though. I guess we just have to wait for the last finder to post updated coordinates. I'm guessing it'll probably turn up somewhere around N 35° 00.000', E 38° 30.000'. Quote Link to comment
+Navdog Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 Hmmm, Definitely one of those five star hunts but, it must be a virtual cache. The adventures of Navdog, Justdog, and Otterpup Quote Link to comment
+Renegade Knight Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 This cache has a difficulty of 5. My experience with caches this hard to find is that you tear up everthing in your path so that there is no place left to hide. When you are done the cache needs to be archived. Now if only the French and Russions gave out the hint when it was needed all the trouble could of been saved. ===================== Wherever you go there you are. Quote Link to comment

+TMAN264 Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 It sounds to me that the hider of the cache is a deranged lunatic and murderer. Whether or not the cache was actually hid, or even exsisted, isn't the point, it's the hunt that counts. Make a sanity check. Quote Link to comment

I've found that about the Seattle area. It sounds like a left wing area, but that's because of all the shouting being done while the rest of us are at work. Quote Link to comment
+sept1c_tank Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 Voted #1. GW should face up to the the embarrasing truth and then resign from geocaching permanently. (Not convinced he was ever really invited in the first place.) Quote Link to comment
+TMAN264 Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 GW, may not have been invited, but considering the other cacher that might have been in his spot, we are lucky. The other cacher couldn't have found a 1/1 virtual of George Washington on a dollar bill. Make a sanity check. Quote Link to comment

+nctreker Posted June 6, 2003 Share Posted June 6, 2003 I vote 4. Keep looking. I think the hider did a respectable job of camouflaging a non-standard cache container. I'd also make sure to decrypt the hints before logging this a DNF. Also might want to check the find logs of other rogue nations. Quote Link to comment

+sbell111 Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 Was the cache posted on GC.com? Did anyone ask GW if his sources regarding the cache were to be believed? Did GW exaggerate the quality of the cache to get other cachers to go with him? Quote Link to comment
