First come first serve??? This is one of the few traveling caches
in existence. Groundspeak stopped allowing the creation of these
type of caches, the ones that are out there have been
"grandfathered in". This is designed for the competitive cacher, so
grab it while you can! ***AND PLEASE KEEP IT OUT OF MUGGLE
ZONES!****
The cache contains a camera, logbook w/pen and extra rolls of
film. Once found, I'm asking that the finder take a photo of
him/her, scenery, whatever. Then, take the cache with them.
When I see that a find has been logged, I will
disable the cache. The next step for the finder will be to find a
new hiding place. When a new spot is found, email the new
coordinates to me, ALONG WITH the name of the park, town or city
the cache is in and any clues or a difficulty rating.
PLEASE DO NOT POST THE COORDINATES WHEN MAKING A
LOG ENTRY. As far as hiding spots, if you see someplace near
an existing cache, or while you're out sightseeing or on vacation,
then go for it! Please try and keep it out of "muggley" places and
make sure you adhere to the rules, in regards to hiding a cache.
And FEEL FREE to drop off Travel Bugs. Might be a kinda' cool way
for a bug to build up some miles. Just remember to "Grab" the bug
from this cache (on the Travel Bug page), then "Drop" it off again
(after the coords have been changed), if you plan on letting it
ride-along.
If the roll of film needs to be developed, or any kind of cache
maintenance is needed, contact me via email and I will make
arrangements to get film processed and replace spare rolls, or
whatever. As the prints come in, I will post them on this page with
an "SB" number. If you'd like your name posted with the picture,
zap me an email identifying which shot is of you. *** AND PLEASE
*** don't bother telling me, "I took picture number 12", with your
change of coordinate email. It is very difficult for me to identify
cachers this way, since it often takes a month or two to finish off
a roll of film. It's easier on me to post them and add the names
later.
As of 01-09-04, this cache has a new camera, as well as a new
container to accommodate it, since the new camera is bigger than
the original. The camera is automatic and runs off of two AA
batteries. The photo counter starts at number 1. After the last
shot it rewinds the film, then all you need to do is load a new
one. I included a set of spare batteries, just in case.
This caches mission is to rack up the miles! I'd like to see it
bounce from coast to coast as many times as possible. I'm hoping
for the chance to visit this traveler a few times in it's home
city, San Diego, to read the log entries.
The cache returned home to San Diego on 02-07-06. I have
replaced the tupperware container with a tricked-out 5.56mm ammo
can.
The Phase Two mission of this cache will be pretty much the
same. Bounce around the country, or world for that matter, and
someday return home to start Phase-Three!
I have also added a travel bug tag to the cache. When you find
the cache, "pick-up" the tag and AFTER I change the coords, "drop
it off."
Just one more note: Some cachers (or
caching groups) have elected to leave the cache in place from time
to time in order to allow more folks to find it. I don't mind if
this happens every once in a while, but please let me know in your
post if you took the cache or left it in place. I don't want to
disable it if it is still in place. THANKS!
