+nikcap Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 (edited) Now excepting nominees. Just cause this is a fun topic. Now imagine a Bare-foot dhenning25 sloshing through the mud and muck of one of NJ largest flood plains! I hope you have all of your appropriate shots!

+Skully & Mulder et al. Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 Hey ... we were nominated for the original so I'm nominating us for the 2004 edition. All kidding aside - Averoair deserves the honor - it would pretty hard to find a cacher that is more dedicated then they are! Quote Link to comment
shanni-bugbait-wren Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 I don't think we're ready to be nominees this year. BUT WATCH OUT WORLD, HERE WE COME!!! Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 Although he's gone back to the old country, I'll have to nominate Haggaeus. To grab all those finds in the NY metro area, without the use of a car is pretty incredible. His hikes from the bus station to the trailhead alone were sometimes 3+ miles, then he'd walk 10-15 miles, over often difficult terrain, to bag a handful of caches and after that walk a few miles back to the bus, or train station. If that isn't gung-ho, I don't know what is! Quote Link to comment

To grab all those finds in the NY metro area, without the use of a car is pretty incredible. Although the Gung Ho award is somewhat a tongue in check award. (reserved for those that DNF regardless of their efforts, or those that take the snowshoes and waders route, but regardless of their ineptitude come out victorious. Indeed, Haggaeus is truly a uber-cache, I really enjoyed his log on The Lair of Bob the Bear Quote Link to comment
avroair Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 I would have to nominate the snake handler Helmet of Skully & Mulder. I would be walking alongside him chatting when suddenly he would dive into the scrub, gone! There would be a lough scuffle, a couple of whacks with his walking stick, and his head would pop up above the scrub brush... he would dive back in and emerge with a 18 foot black anaconda!!! Kreiky! Not sure if he was handling it or it was handling him... anyhoo, I was sitting near by when he rolled over a log and grabbed a 1 foot baby... When asked if he saw the snake retreat under the log, Helmet replied, "Nope, just looked like a good place to find a snake!" I then very slowly inched off the log I had been sitting on... Here's to the Snake Charmer! Quote Link to comment
+unimoggers Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Isn't CCCooperAgency an obvious choice? What do those people do for a living anyway? Are they getting paid to cache?? Quote Link to comment
+JMBella Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Isn't CCCooperAgency an obvious choice? What do those people do for a living anyway? Are they getting paid to cache?? Not so obvious to me. reserved for those that DNF regardless of their efforts, Nothing against CCC but I'm pretty sure that doesn't qualify them. Quote Link to comment
+jonboy Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 I would second the nomination of Avroair. He and his better half have really had an impact this year. Quote Link to comment
nikcap Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 (edited) This recent log caught my eye. No GPS, first cache hunt, let's try for a puzzle multi. How's that for ambition? Edited August 13, 2004 by nikcap Quote Link to comment
+windlight Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Nothing personal to those further East but QuestMaster is one of the most interesting cachers I've seen. He ALWAYS has great caches in using you head as well as you legs.. Quote Link to comment
+Alan2 Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 CCCooperAgency for not only their over 300+ caches they placed but for the events and just plain personal help and niceness they've shown to other cachers. Quote Link to comment
+Czarniecki314 Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 I'll nominate Squealy... can't remember the last time I saw him wearing something other than his "rotting" shirt. Quote Link to comment

avroair Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 CCCooperAgency for not only their over 300+ caches they placed but for the events and just plain personal help and niceness they've shown to other cachers. Does mailing a cache to another cacher count as a place? Hmm... maybe I should form a group and we can all log eachothers caches! Yeah! Drive accross the country... wait a minute, wife would be pi$$ed, nevermind. Quote Link to comment
+Quest Master Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 (edited) In the perverse use of technology category.. I'm typing in a cache log when some stuff starts coming in through Yahoo! Messenger. It's a geocacher that is stumped on one of my caches. She has called her friend in Ohio to sign on with her messenger account so that he can contact me so that she can get an extra hint. This convoluted high-technology message relay system continues for some minutes until it is eventually bypassed when I am provided with a telephone number to call her direct. She eventually finds the cache with a little help from me and an awful lot of help from telecommunications industry. Edited August 16, 2004 by Quest Master Quote Link to comment
+IV_Warrior Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 Does mailing a cache to another cacher count as a place? As much as finds on caches you didn't find, it's all just a matter of how you log things.......... Quote Link to comment

avroair Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 I nominate Mister BrianSnat. Not only does he place more excellent caches than anyone else I know, he also posts the most forum notes for anyone that I know! His knowledge is so deep in all areas, polices and guidlines and he is a true inspiration to all cachers. He is also the last to leave on two event occasions... Baby Back Ribs Night Beer and Wings Night Now that's dedication! I raise my glass to you. Quote Link to comment

Baby Back Ribs Night Beer and Wings Night Now that's dedication! I raise my glass to you. I was not last to leave either of those nights. Team Shibby and Lunaruby were ordering another round as I left each time. As far as being a gung ho geocacher, I was nominated in 2003 for my log at marty621's Bridge at Remegen cache. I've done nothing in 2004 to deserve the honor and besides, you can't be nominated 2 years in a row according to the International Association of Gung Ho Geocachers guidelines. Quote Link to comment
avroair Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 I stand corrected. Brian knows the guidelines best. Well, I now nominate you for the Mr Northern New Jersey, aka Morris County Cache placer award. And the guidelines clearly state: In lieu of and as of the opinion that BrianSnat, aka Briansnat and all of his constituants, aliases, guises, divisions, holding companies, subsidaries et al. Should be awarded annually the award of Mr Northern New Jersey, aka Morris County Cache placer, Best in Show. Continually until otherwise noted by the Chairman of Commitee for NNJGCPC (Northern New Jersey's Good Cache Placement Commitee). In which Avroair is the sole, lonely member of hereafter. By lays to commence. All kidding aside, thanks for the great caches and guildline clarifications in the forums. You are a gentleman and a scholar! Quote Link to comment

+briansnat Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 Sheesh...nobody likes a brown nose. He has to. How else will he get the secret access sites to all my caches. The ones that can turn a 6 mile hike into a 50 yard jaunt from your car. Quote Link to comment
+JMBella Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 I think Fat Cassidy was the last to leave the Ribs event. Quote Link to comment
+Tiffany's Slaves Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 (edited) >I was not last to leave either of those nights. Team Shibby and Lunaruby were ordering another round as I left each time. Ahhh Brian we seem to be forgetting the "my favorite hole: Beer and Munchies" I seem to recall The Chief Assistant and I leaving you as the last cacher standing! You have the Tiffany's Slaves votes locked up! Edited August 18, 2004 by Tiffany's Slaves Quote Link to comment

I believe Team Rampant Lion was still enjoying a cold one and the Chief Assistant had arrived as I was leaving. So there! No Team Shibby or Lunaruby tho.

OK Brian... if that is your story then perhaps the Head Slave had a couple too many to realize the order of departure. Tiffany however still votes for you Edited August 18, 2004 by Tiffany's Slaves Quote Link to comment
avroair Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 Lunaruby's log states that you (Brian) were there to the end at the ribs night. At the beer and wings I left you in the very capable hands of others to get you home. AND the Sparta event, (how far is that from your house!?!), I once again left you with the host and Tiffany Slaves. Quote Link to comment
mortonfox Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 He has to. How else will he get the secret access sites to all my caches. The ones that can turn a 6 mile hike into a 50 yard jaunt from your car. He could... take a wild guess. Quote Link to comment
