Current Goal


This flag is part of a geo-game started in April 2011 of CAPTURE THE FLAG. If you do not intend to play this game, please leave this trackable in the cache you found it in. If you are not from Southeastern Wisconsin you can still play -- but please follow the instructions below. The COORDINATES for the puzzle cache http://coord.info/GC2RVAF are: 

____written on the trackable_____________________________________________

Ue the coordinates to find any of the base puzzle caches, ie GC2RVAF "CAPTURE THE FLAG chevyole BASE" in order to log a find there.  If you do not intend to play the game, please leave this trackable in the cache you found it in.  

  Do NOT place this trackable in any base, rather log it as "visited". Then promptly place this trackable in a cache that you own or is one of your favorites in Southeastern Wisconsin.  Place in muggle proof caches and stay away from event caches where previous travel bugs have gone missing. Please do not go outside of a 20 mile radius of any base and please avoid EVENT CACHES with this trackable.  Many flags have gone missing at event caches. When found follow the following steps:
1) Retrieve from cache it was in OR grab it from the previous finder
a) if grabbed, "dip" or "visit" the trackable in the cache you found it in (if applicable).
2) Find and visit the CAPTURE THE FLAG base(s) with the trackable (if applicable) and "visit" this base.
3) Place the trackable in your another cache (see above for more detail)

If you like this game feel free to add coordinates to another BASE cache that you create:

About This Item

 

Capture the Flag was one of my favorite games as a kid. Capture the Flag is a game played where two teams each have a flag and the objective is to capture the other team's flag, located at the team's base and bring it safely back to their own base. Please email me (chevyole) with questions. Happy Hunting!

The original flag ref: TB47M8Z was found by nine die-hard SE Wisconsin geocachers before it was muggled.
The second flag ref: TB47MDW travelled over 1600 miles in a year and 3 months before it was muggled.
The third flag ref: TB4RG66 was never taken out of an event cache after a short life. 

Please remember to move this trackable quickly.  It is vital to keep the game and these caches going.

To keep it fun for everyone, I would prefer the flag be dropped off in a cache for the excitement of going after the flag instead of being passed from cacher to cacher. I also will be asking cachers that hold onto the flag for more than 10 days to release it. Cachers can hold the flag for 2 wks. Many thanks!

    Following up, are we able to get another flag in the wild? Or start logging finds on these caches without the flag?

    Where is this trackable and who has it? I think others would like to start using this again.

    Hi all,

    Update on the flag: I gave it to jnsmith1082 a couple of days ago, but for some reason the site isn't letting him grab it from me. We'll work that out. I apologize for the confusion and also for the direct handoff - this was my first time with the flag and I misunderstood "grab it from the previous finder". It will duly be deposited in a cache when he's done with it. Thanks for your patience!
