+Pyewacket Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 Yep...just me again, letting you know that October's issue of Today's Cacher is ready for your perusal. This is our first holiday theme, Groundhog Day. Wait, that's not right...oh yeah, Halloween. Our biggest issue ever, there are articles addressing the spooky factor of some caches, such as one in the area frequented by briansnat . Those of you cachers who are Criminal's groupies will be happy to know that he has not one, but two articles this month; be prepared that one is not for the faint-of-heart or younger audiences. Take part in our first official poll; vote for "The Cacher Most Likely to...", find out why Zartimus caches in costume, and admire the poetic prowess of Planet. Heck, I don't want to give it all away, so check it out! Quote Link to comment

Oh, be still, my beating heart! We really need someone with good editing skills and a fairly decent knowledge of html to assist in putting up pages. It's not difficult, but it's a time-consuming, laborious task. If we could spread out the work load, I'd be a lot less cranky. Please email me through the magazine, through my profile, or leave me a pm here in the forums and we'll talk. Quote Link to comment
+Renegade Knight Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 It was nice to read up how an idea turned into something more with Zartimus. Quote Link to comment
+GreyingJay Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 Nice. I met Zart at the event cache a few weeks ago but didn't get a chance to hear the full story from him... Quote Link to comment

+Strapped-4-Cache Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 Woo-woo! I made it again! Thanks for the opportunity! Neat. I made it in this issue as well. Now when does the fame and fortune follow? Just kidding - I'm only interested in the fortune. Quote Link to comment
Tahosa and Sons Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 (edited) That article scared the **** out of me. Actually is a real good issues, But I made one typo on my recipe for Tahosa Juice. I forgot The lite salt which is a key ingredient in this concoction. Try it and you will really like Lite Beer. Actually this stuff works when its hot and you're pushing yourself. 1 qt. Water 3 Tbsp Sugar 1/2 Tsp Baking Soda 1/2 Tsp Salt 1/4 Tsp Lite Salt Edited October 1, 2004 by Tahosa and Sons Quote Link to comment

+Pyewacket Posted October 1, 2004 Author Share Posted October 1, 2004 That article scared the **** out of me. I agree; S4C's article is the scare the begeebers outta ya type article that fits perfectly into this month's issue. Thanks so much for taking the time to write a wonderful piece. My thanks to everyone who contributed this month...you're the ones who made this issue what it is. Quote Link to comment
+tirediron Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 Well done, as usual! Quote Link to comment
+RuffRidr Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 Very good issue. I especially liked the first section with the scary stories from cache hunts. The Wildman cache story is really spooky! I wish someone would post a little more info on this cache. What's the story behind it? Whoever placed the cache has to know more! --RuffRidr Quote Link to comment
+Team Perks Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 Another good (and SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKY) issue! Thanks to everyone for their efforts--keep 'em coming! Quote Link to comment
+Pyewacket Posted October 1, 2004 Author Share Posted October 1, 2004 The Wildman cache story is really spooky! I wish someone would post a little more info on this cache. What's the story behind it? Whoever placed the cache has to know more! Runninwthsissors is the one who hid this (now archived) cache. Perhaps he or she can give you more information. Check out this pic that's posted on the cache page; truly spooky, indeed! Quote Link to comment
+Planet Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 I've been published! I feel just like Steve Martin when the new phone books came in!!! Thanks Pyewacket! Quote Link to comment
+wimseyguy Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 Ditto what Planet said. I am someone! Quote Link to comment

+joefrog Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 there are articles addressing the spooky factor of some caches, such as one in the area frequented by briansnat . You DO realize that some of those places are spooky BECAUSE briansnat freqents them? Quote Link to comment
+cachew nut Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 (edited) nice issue Edited October 2, 2004 by cachew nut Quote Link to comment
+team walkingsticks Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 Perhaps this has already been discussed, but is there any thought to making this ezine an actual magazine? It would replace the ole' Readers Digest real quick at my house I'll tell ya! I think that would be sweet! I'll buy it... Quote Link to comment
+sept1c_tank Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 Actually, we are investigating the possibilities. The cost of such a venture will require substantial advertising, of course, and probably a subscription fee as well. How much would you be willing to pay for a 12 month subscription to a monthly magazine about geocaching? Quote Link to comment
+team walkingsticks Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 I guess it would depend a bit upon how large the magazine was and how it was printed and stuff. I'll begin the bidding at $24 per year...$2 bucks an issue. I might even go higher if it looked like a "Backpacker Magazine" type of thing. If it was smaller and on that softer kind of paper stuff, maybe $15-$16.99 per year...?! Anyone else have an opinion on this one? Good question... Quote Link to comment

Captain Chaoss Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 As always, great job ! I liked the Zartimus article, but was almost disappointed to have him "de-mystified". I was also hoping to see mention of his sometime companion who wears the giant horned helmet and carries the axe. Talk about muggle proofed ! Anyone get a little teary-eyed over "Wilson McGroff" by Criminal ? I'm not saying I did, mind you, but I could see how somebody might get a little choked up over that. Really nice article Crim. We need more McGroffs in this world...... And his daughter. Quote Link to comment
