PLEASE START VOTING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. JUST SEND YOUR PICKS to Snarfmon23 at Pulsarpup@live.com . YOU DO NOT HAVE TO VOTE ON EVERY CATEGORY..(e.g., some people don't do puzzles and therefore wouldn't have an opinion). Each geocacher gets a vote! That means that if you are a team account each person in the team gets their own vote.
Congratulations to last years' winners:
