Why is the last picture from GC2XCWW in Iowa? I've found that cache, but not the Minnesota one. I thought it seemed awfully familiar.

Re: Help Name the January 2016 Geocacher of the Month

My vote is unequivocally for OrigamiFolder. I have found 48 of his geocaches and have been amazed at his creativity. He burst on to the caching scene with gifts of origami cranes in each found cache. Then, as he began to place caches, he taught us simple (and sometimes not-so-simple) origami of our own. Of particular note is his vampire series, which takes cachers to blood banks, manufacturers of holy water, haunted houses and many other similar places on their way to a cave filled with real bats. I have had the privilege of caching alongside him a few times and admire his great attitude and commitment to his family. Even though I now live thousands of miles away, I still hold him in high regard.

Re: Vote for the August Geocacher of the Month

I vote for Trekkie79. I've appreciated his efforts with putting together Geocaching classes. And he's always so attentive to maintaining caches. I remember phoning him about a missing cache container. He said, "Stay there. I'll be right there." Within 15 minutes, he was on the scene with a new container, letting me sign the log before he replaced ti.

Definitely a vote for barondriver. Long before I met him at an event, I was finding marks of his efforts all across central and southwestern Kansas.

Ah yes, your privately-owned (but open to anyone who is willing to pay you) area is clearly fair game for placing geocaches, not a commercial enterprise at all.

You are correct that I am a non-skier, although that doesn't seem to be relevant at all. The point is that geocaching guidelines say, "Cache listings perceived as commercial will not be published. A commercial cache listing has one or more of the following characteristics: 2. It suggests or requires that the finder go inside a business, interact with employees and/or purchase a product or service." I think a day fee for a private club falls well within the bounds of purchasing a service.

This does not seem like a catch 22. This seems very clearly like placing a commercial cache. I think your reviewers are doing exactly what they ought to be doing.

Interestingly, hardly anyone in UB has air conditioning. We go play in the river to cool down. I guess that’s over.
