+EraSeek Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 The little blue pool Once there were two little fishes Swimming in a very large pond. One was slow and much older And had been around oh so long. The other was sleek and quicker And a newcomer don’t you see? That newbie is Little Blue, The other one just could be me. Now her numbers just rose and rose At a stellar rate it is true While to stogy old EraSeek It seemed as though he was through. “Oh, that Little Blue is quite a fish! But not all is what it seems! The only way she’s catching me Is in her little fishy dreams!” Now jump on in the water’s fine. Place your bets if you do-dah dare. Pick a date you think she’ll pass on by EraSeek (…as if he’d care!) To enter the little blue pool just post the date you think she’ll pass EraSeek by here on this thread. Only one cacher per date, and one date per cacher. The closest to the date will win my one and only Washington State (2004) Geocoin, and the respect of the local caching community. Here are the current statistics: Little Blue start date October 2004. Current total 723 finds. EraSeek start date Feb 2001. Current finds 866. There is a difference of 143 at this time. I will keep track of claimed dates, and Little Blue and I will keep you posted on the current number of finds and the difference. Quote Link to comment

+GO West Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 "...the date she’ll pass EraSeek" ??? She won't pass EraSeek in my book until she can place one like "Path of the Watchers." In that regard you stand alone, above the Moun10s and the evergreens... My entry: 5/5/05 Quote Link to comment
+EraSeek Posted March 30, 2005 Author Share Posted March 30, 2005 Got those. And thank you GO WEST, I very much do appreiciate that! Quote Link to comment

In that regard you stand alone, above the Moun10s and the evergreens... Ooh- I'll have to check that one out! All of Eraseek's caches that I've done have been both beautiful and fun. Even if I did slide down that lookout tower on my butt! Ouch! And wow, cool poem! I'm honored! I will always be in Eraseek's debt- he once cut short a group hike to accompany me down a mountain when I ran out of time and had to go pick up my girls. Oh, and don't let him kid you with that 'slow' stuff! On that hike up Teneriffe I only saw him when he stopped to sign the logbooks! Now, let's see, when will I finally pass him...

Thanks for the It was less than a year ago Eraseek broke his ankle right? You could have fooled me the way he dropped us going up Tenneriffe. Oh yeah, my guess is 05/09/05.

+Wander Lost Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 What the heck I'll take April 15th, because I'd rather be caching than doing my taxes. Quote Link to comment
+Bull Moose Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 I thought it wasn't about the numbers. And now back to reality. I'll take 10 June 05. Quote Link to comment
+Puppers Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 We'll take 4/27 (aka "Adminstrative Professional's Day", is that what they used to call "Secretary's Day"?) Quote Link to comment
lucyandrickie Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 OK, I'll take a stab at this!!!! As of today grandpa fish Eraseek has found 866 caches in 1495 days so he finds 0.579 caches per day. LIttle fish LittleBlue has found 731 caches in 170 days for a rate of 4.300 caches per day. That means that LB finds 3.721 more caches per day than ES and will eat up the 135 cache diference in 36.28 days or May 7th. Paul2tele has already taken this date. Now wait, did Paul figure in the Wenatchee cache machine? If you factor in the fact that LB will probably find 50+ caches in one day and thus increase her cache per day rate, I am coming up with a second date of April 23rd. Oh no, PDXman has taken that date. Now wait, again did PDXman factor in the post cache machine doldrums? It takes us a couple of days to log all those caches, so my analysis leads me to......... ....April 25th, 2005!!!! Quote Link to comment
+AndrewRJ Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 I did much the same math as LucyandRickie but we are talking about a person who really hasn't slowed down since day one. I gave her a much reduced recovery time and guessed about 5 days earlier. Quote Link to comment

+Pasha Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Have either of you been implicated in the Balco scandal, perhaps through your use of performance-enhancing substances? This is information that we need to make an informed guess. Either way, I'll split two existing guesses and say April 27. Quote Link to comment
+LittleBlue Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Fishy, fishy, fish! So many guesses... but I'm closing my eyes to all of them so I don't artificially influence the time-space continuum, or whatever they used to call that on Star Trek. But to enrich the pot a small bit I'm throwing in an unactivated 2005 geocoin and TB tag for the winning date. Assuming I *do* pass Eraseek, that is... Quote Link to comment
+LittleBlue Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Have either of you been implicated in the Balco scandal, perhaps through your use of performance-enhancing substances? Well, I do cache with a 60cs... Quote Link to comment
+EraSeek Posted March 31, 2005 Author Share Posted March 31, 2005 WOW! Ok, got all those. I got out today after work and got a cache, but looks like LB got about 4. Current: ES=867 LB=731 Diff=136 I'll try and post taken dates soon as I get a chance. (I do work and have a life you know...well a half-life anyway) (this is just wrong? No, it's just how not to get too serious about numbers) Quote Link to comment

+Pasha Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 How strange; I text-searched the thread for my date before I posted it. (Ahh, I see, Puppers posted 4/27 instead of April 27.) Oops. So the question now before me is whether a 60CS is more of an advantage than 20oz of caffeinated goodness... hmmm. OK, put me down for the 28th of April instead. Quote Link to comment
