LOOK AT THIS GEOCACHING ISQ DOG!!!

Mrs. Car54

[Rupert2]

Hey Car54, I see that you are the 8th team to complete the Coin Quest. Congratulations.

[+Car54]

Hey Car54, I see that you are the 8th team to complete the Coin Quest. Congratulations.

Thank you! We had some help from Shydog and LosXile, who pointed out a transposition error in one of my postings - that could have cost us a day.

 

We're keeping an eye on the other Hoosiers participating - good luck to everyone!

 

Mrs. Car54

[+Team Shydog]

Way to go Car54!!! You two did a great job staying in the top 10 the whole time.

 

Shydog says "Thanks, can she have a snack now?"

[+Car54]

A big round of applause for 501_Gang, Prairie Partners and 3_9er_Bears, who have successfully completed the Coin Quest game - way to go guys! Looks like sparhawk031 is the next Hoosier up - good luck!

 

Mrs. Car54

Hey lead dog, you forgot me! I have found 66 ISQ's so far. Thanks to all that have placed them!

 

And CONGRADULATIONS to all the Indiana Coin Quest Winners!!

We didn't forget you. At the time the list was published, you had less finds.

[Earthdog Patrick]

WE have a winner! Here is the smilie log for the

 

10,000th ISQ FIND!!

 

November 29 by -{LoS}-Xile (725 found)

Almost gave up and then Poof! there it was... TFTC!

[view this log on a separate page]

 

This milestone came on ISQ #112 "Poor HOuse" by Team Shydog.

 

Since Xile doesn't have 200 finds, he is not eligible for the Tom Kelly 2006 Hummer II grand prize, but he does get the second prize: A cammoed 35mm film can, complete with ballast and logsheet, ready to be hidden!!

 

And Team Shydog get's the hiders prize, a 2005 SIXDOGTEAM GEOCOIN.

 

[+-{LoS}-Xile]

I have 185 though... It's a shame three finds before the poor house wasn't the 10,000th find... Then it could have been 10,000 finds and my 50th FTF

[+Team Shydog]

Way to go Xile! Sorry you missed the Hummer.

[+S Keillan]

Way to go Xile! Sorry you missed the Hummer.

Actually, with the price of petrol these days, not getting the Hummer might be a blessing in disguise.

[+-{LoS}-Xile]

yeah but just think of all the fat cats in carmel and fishers that would buy it from my if i marked it down a few grand?

 

I think at worst I should get a geocoin also lol

[+SixDogTeam]

There's only one.

[+GerbilMafia]

I know we have have had a few words in the past but shouldn't I be on your list? By my count I have 40 ISQ finds. I can honestly say I have enjoyed most of them. As an act of truce, I was thinking about asking you if I could hide an ISQ cache. I would like to learn how to set up the awesome cache listings that come along with ISQ caches. Anyway, I'm never one to keep my mouth shut and after all it's all about the cache and getting people outside.

I'm There!!!

[+dougsmiley]

The DNR has a great webpage for indiana state parks here:

 

http://www.in.gov/dnr/maps/propertymaps.html

 

It has maps of all of them in PDF format. If you save these maps, you can open them in adobe acrobat and add a "comment" to where the cache is (Easy by comparing map to google satillite imagery). Then, if you print the pdf with the "print with comments summary" option in the file menu, it will mark the caches and show a name/description on a different page or on the same page shrunk. It's really cool, check it out.

 

Helps you take the right trail, and stay on the trail longer. Works great at summit lake, where i'm plotting them. Just use the lake lines and google sat. images and I have a pretty acurate location on the park map.

"8. CANINE CACHERS -- You need to have a DOG to help you in all your geocaching hiding and finding activities. If you do not have one, one will be provided to you at no charge, either as a loaner or permanently."

 

I'm wondering about this part.

 

Neither Patrick nor ~Mystery Dog~ have helper dogs.

If you live north of Indy, you must attend an Indigo event in order to "join" INDIGO, according to their website, but people who live south of Indy don't have to... I wonder if there are any similar geographic requirements for joining CINCO-GEO or NEI-GEO or SCARLETGEO or BAGO, the only other Indiana groups I know of. Could the leaders of these groups weigh in on this?

[+-{LoS}-Xile]

I thouhgt the people living south had to attend also to join. At least that what i was told...

[+SixDogTeam]

FROM THE WEBSITE:

 

Welcome to IndiGo! Anyone can join IndiGo, no matter where you live. Indiana cachers from the areas which we support (Indianapolis and south) can join by sending us your email address.

 

Cachers north of Indianapolis and from out-of-state are welcome. All you have to do is attend an IndiGo event!

 

Welcome to Indiana caching!

Edited December 5, 2005 by SixDogTeam

BAGO accepts membership applications from ANYONE ANYWHERE ANYTIME who has the $500.00 Initiation Fee, in Cash ( unmarked tens and twenties preferably!! and they will accept Beer in lieu of cash...)

Speaking for CINCO, anybody who wants to be a member may simply be a member just by saying so. Furthermore, anyone who would like an official CINCO office may have one by simply requesting one, and this is only to add the office to our official list. Attendence is voluntary, but the benefits of membership are best realised through showing up.

[Earthdog Patrick]

Speaking for CINCO, anybody who wants to be a member may simply be a member just by saying so.

OK, here goes:

 

I AM A MEMBER OF CINCO!

 

Yea, me!

 

Does this mean I can come in the steakhouse and eat BBQ PORK?

 

[+bluegillfisherman]

Indiana cachers from the areas which we support (Indianapolis and south)

 

Welcome to Indiana caching!

Does this mean the issue of secession has been revived, and the "south has risen again"?

 

[+Car54]

Does this mean the issue of secession has been revived, and the "south has risen again"?

 

Well, I admit to a bit of confusion. Regional groups are a great way to meet local cachers and it's certainly easier to attend/host events when they're closer to home. But I've noticed a few things where the lines seem a bit blurry, such as the thread about an IndiGo geocoin which seems to imply it will be THE Indiana coin for next year or referring to the spring picnic (to be held up nawth ) as the IndiGo spring picnic.

 

Just my $.02 worth,

Mrs. Car54
