+kd7rvh Posted September 15, 2004 Posted September 15, 2004 I've decided that after a year of successful operation, it is time to retire the Skagit CacheCam webcam cache at the end of October. I feel that it has been a pretty popular and unique cache, and I'm happy that people have enjoyed it. If you want to grab a really easy (1/1) webcam cache for your stats, now is the time. Thanks for all the support over the past year!
+CrimsonWrath Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 So sorry to see it go. I head up to Skagit valley once a year for the tulips and this year was my first time I headed up without a "muggle" tag on me. Thanks for a unique cache experience!
+KC0GRN Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 OOo what a coincidence. I'll be out in the area the first weekend in October, I'll have to put this on my todo list (here in Minnesota, we only have 2 webcam caches setup)

+bumblingbs Posted September 27, 2004 Posted September 27, 2004 Thank you for the cache cam. We enjoyed going there! KB
+LthrWrk Posted September 27, 2004 Posted September 27, 2004 I can walk to this one now. Though I am still waiting to get my GPSr and associated toys in the mail.. impatiently waiting. Charles Mount Vernon WA
+kd7rvh Posted September 28, 2004 Author Posted September 28, 2004 Are you going to do another one? Yes, I hope to do one in a more scenic location. I have to get the permission of one of the local Dike districts here and work out a few technical issues first, but if that works out, it should be a pretty cool webcam cache.
+LthrWrk Posted October 2, 2004 Posted October 2, 2004 YEP... Made it there this afternoon... My first cache logged... Charles Mt Vernon, WA
+KC0GRN Posted October 7, 2004 Posted October 7, 2004 Woohoo! I got this one when I was out there, thanks for the early warning and coincidentally letting me know it was there. Maybe next time I'm in the area a new one will be up.
+kd7rvh Posted November 5, 2004 Author Posted November 5, 2004 False alarm! I received so many emails from cachers and non-cachers alike about the camera that I've decided to keep it operational until I can create a new webcam cache. I never knew so many people wanted to look at a webcam pointed at a parking lot. Apparently it is even featured on a local television news weather segment.
nolenator Posted November 6, 2004 Posted November 6, 2004 Dang, you are famous then. I got to go do this one then. There is a great berwery in town as well! Peace, Nolenator
+pdxmarathonman Posted November 6, 2004 Posted November 6, 2004 just checking the past pics in the last 24 hours it seems the queue is MUCH shorter than advertised
+kd7rvh Posted November 6, 2004 Author Posted November 6, 2004 just checking the past pics in the last 24 hours it seems the queue is MUCH shorter than advertised The building had a fiber cut a few days ago that caused the camera to lose contact with the server, so I had to dump the database and start with a fresh set of pictures. It'll fill back up soon. On average, the pictures remain in there for about 5 days, more or less.
