+Pear Head Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 Take a look at the marker type for SK0911. It's an airport beacon according to the page. The Marker type says it's a travel bug though.. Anyone noticed this before? This isn't the only beacon I ran across today that is listed this way. Odd... Link to comment
CallawayMT Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 (edited) You did find an odd, I would assume geocaching coding error. The marker numbers for the monument setting are picking something up in the Geocaching data base. I looked at just a few and here is what I saw: # = NGS Setting = Geocaching Cache Type 14 = Navigation light = Travel Bug 21 = Airport Beacon = Travel Bug Dog Tag 22 = Airway Beacon = Moun10bike Coin Nice find!

2oldfarts (the rockhounders) Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 I Just found this Light house benchmark page that shows the ''marker type'' as ''Cache In Trash Out Event'' Now I am getting worried! What is happening?? Shirley~ Link to comment
+Colorado Papa Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 Tennessee, Sounds like you had better get hold of Jeremy and let him know the benchmark pages are having problems. How else can we get hold of him? You're our best bet. Ted Link to comment
2oldfarts (the rockhounders) Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 I posted in the Geocaching.com forum & Jeremy responded. He said "Thanks & I will look into it". So, he knows now. Shirley~ Link to comment
+GEO*Trailblazer 1 Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 I was going to bring it up as well as one of the posters in the forums stated something about QUALITY CONTROL.
