MEMORIAL AT THE ORIGINAL GEOCACHE SITE


Recommended Posts

Convey our thanks to the owners of the land for letting Jeff establish the memorial plaque. It is nice of them.

 

Till a voice, as bad as Conscience, rang interminable changes

On one everlasting Whisper day and night repeated -- so:

"Something hidden. Go and find it. Go and look behind the Ranges --

"Something lost behind the Ranges. Lost and waiting for you. Go!"

 

Rudyard Kipling , The Explorer 1898

Greetings!

 

Hey, I have a 20MB mpeg video file of the creation of the first geocache. The video runs 1.5 minutes and shows the stash contents.

 

Can someone show me a place on the net where I can upload this file and link it to the memorial plaque stash page?

Dave,

Email me through gc.com or through pdxgeocaching.com. There's a chance we can put it up there.

The video that Dave made back in 2000, is up and available for viewing. Read about it here. As I mentioned in the Portland forum, I'm not sure what a file of this size will do to my bandwidth allowances. For now it's up.

 

It is rather cool in a surreal sort of way.

Something's very fishy or someone was confused. In the movie, the stash note clearly shows the date as 04-03-2000. SA being turned off didn't happen until May. So either the stash note or plaque is wrong. I want a full investigation

In my email's with Dave, he was wondering if people would notice his mistake. He says in must have had April on his mind still.

So now that it's placed, who has the cojones to submit it as a virtual?

It's already an approved cache with a logbook. No need to make it a virtual.

http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=15 Seems Dave moved all of his coordinates when he "quit" but I beleive this is the correct cache (ID is 15, I think that's as far back as has a page - not that is matters because I think the order of the caches got all scrambled up during a site transfer at one point)

I agree that this may be a little early, it's not like a 3 year old 'hobby/sport/game' has a need for a shrine like Cooperstown - but I don't see how this can hurt.

 

If you're going to put a plaque there with the owners permission - why not permanantly afix an ammo box to the post holding up the plaque with a logbook? Just an idea, might not be feasable.

Now you have given me a strange desire to go to Wyoming to look for ammo cans with goodies in them. I can't sleep, I make ammo cans out of my mashed potatoes at dinner and then try to track them. I have tried to make travel bugs out of my roaches. WHAT EVER SHALL I DO?
