Then when I got older, and the 80's came and went, I was disappointed but still I felt certain that we'd be doing these things by the year 2000. Well, 2000 came and went and now it's 2004 and I don't see any Mylar Jumpsuits or zippy Sky-Cars.
Enough's Enough. It's time to get with the 21st century.
At the posted coordinates, you'll have your picture captured by a futuristic webcam.
You will need the following to log this webcam cache:
- Mobile phone
- A friend with a computer attached to the net - able to save an image file off the web. (WebCam Image Link)
- -or- some other way of capturing the image (802.11/PCS/laptop etc.)
- A robust sense of humor.
Logging your visit:
Images from the webcam are required as proof of your visit. Your log must have an uploaded picture of you doing at least one of the following activities:
- Holding up a sign bearing any one of the following short futuristic messages:
- Holding or balancing"The Rock That Rolls" GCCF79 on top of your head.
- Wearing a Homemade Tinfoil Hat (shiny side out of course).
- Wearing a shiny Mylar or other 60's/70's Sci-Fi Jumpsuit or Uniform
(mylar blanket, shawl, or poncho OK, Star Trek uniform, etc.)
|
- Clarity: It must be very clear from the image that you are performing the chosen activities. Get Close. Write Big. The minimum visible sign is approx 30"x18". Any smaller and it might not show up. Sample Word Doc with the size letters you need
- Aggregation: If you perform multiple activities all at once, these add to your total as bonus smileys. Example: If you can get a shot of yourself balancing the Rock on your head while wearing a Mylar emergency blanket, a Homemade Tinfoil Hat and holding a sign that says "Danger Will Robinson," you get to claim 4 Smileys.
- Max Claim: 4 smileys per cacher.
+ another one when you log the rock!
- One Frame: You must fit your chosen activities into one image. You can't for instance show up on Monday wearing a tinfoil hat, log an image, come back on Tuesday holding a sign, log another image, etc. You can post one image and that's all for you. Your bonus smiley logs can have no images attached, so make the most of that first image.
- Multiple Cachers You may fit multiple cachers into a single image if desired, but in this case each must wear their own mylar and hold their own sign. No sharing of props (incl. the rock) and costumes, or all affected logs may be deleted.
- Time: The camera takes a picture once every hour, on the hour, whether you're standing in front of it or not. When the clock strikes, be ready. Don't be late!
- Permission: This webcam is on private property with full permission and cooperation (and amusement) of the landowner. The owner may or may not help you capture your image. If he doesn't come out and offer, don't ask, or he may release the hounds.
- Daylight: The camera switches itself off automatically after dark, so there'll be no night caching on this one. If you come out at night, the owner may release the hounds.
- Littering: Please be sure to take your mylar, foil, and cardboard with you. You may leave "The Rock That Rolls" if you wish. If you leave any other materials behind, your log may be deleted, and the owner may release the hounds.
