I think you may be right, to me it looked like IDD, but now that you have said it 100 makes sense.

Well done to all those that have one of these =D> =D> =D>

It may be awhile before I can get one

May I suggest a pop up when you hover over it like you get when hovering over the stars?

Congrats to Peter for getting the 100th GCA find, onwards and upwards.

Didn't notice, I've got one as well. But passed 100 GCA finds late last month (now 103). I like the text!

We need more GCA caches in SA!

Though I guess that Trig points would count, so that would be the way that a lot of South Aussies would have to do it.

Need more cachers to hide GCA caches!

The plan is that my next hide will be a GCA cache.

Locationless caches count as well. I particularly like these as in many country areas there are no or very few physical containers.

All GCA caches count. We don't discriminate and as has been said, for the more rural and remote cachers, locationless, trigpoints and virtuals are a big opportunity to get out there and play the game, even though there may not be a physical container at the end.
