The Ramsey County Rover

Amazing job everyone! A sincere "Thank you" goes to Moe the Sleaze for bringing the bug to within a quarter mile of my home for a dropping point, Centris for her TLC of the bug (which bug doesn't she coddle?) and whoever added the second camera to the bug (I forgot). Of course, everyone who moved the bug and took a photo can also take a bow.

I'm going to make a Yahoo photo album for the pics, and I'll link it here. When you see the photo you took, email me so I can label it.

This bug's exclusive mission is to explore the parks of Ramsey county, who, in their infinite wisdom, elected to address the hobby of geocaching for what it is, a safe, family oriented game that celebrates public spaces, not destroys them. The bug is a Fuji Quicksnap camera with 25 exposures and a flash. The bugs goal is for the finding cacher to take a photo of a favorite feature of the park where the bug was found and a photo of a favorite feature that the bug is placed. when completed, I will retrieve the bug and have the film developed and post photo's of the cachers opinions on the bugs home page as well as sending a set of the photo's to John Moriarty, Natural Resources Specialist for Ramsey County Parks and Recreation (thank him here--> John.moriarty@co.ramsey.mn.us ) and anyone who needs thanks for their willingness to think before acting, or those who need proof that WE are the faces of those who use public property responsibly. Remember, "cache in/trash out", move those caches before the volunteer trails get established, keep out of sensitive areas, don't bury caches, and in my opinion, if you find a buried cache, adopt it, move it and report your actions to the original placers. Each cacher must take responsibility and represents our hobby. DO IT WELL!!!!
