At gc.com?
They went the same way as Virtuals.
No more webcam for you :-(
You can (of course) still hide it on gca :-)

Just run with it on GCA - we need more SA GCA caches!

I do :-)
Each week I get a new Vic GPX file sent to me. I load it into GSAK and then I get to find more caches.

It is a dilema. Without more GCA caches more people won't go finding them, so no one hides them and then they don't get found, etc.

If you hide them, they will come (sooner or later).

As you can't use a webcam on GC why not place it at GCA. It's probably your only choice.

hehe yeah, well.. most of the time :P

We launch our boats at Port Albert, usually my dad backs the boat down and unhooks it, and i pull it to the jetty with a rope.. He probably wouldnt trust me driving it ;) Not to mention the fact i dont have a boat licence.

The Cachers that actually really enjoy finding caches.

plus the more listed on GCA then the more people that will start looking at it.

We do. When we go away for a caching trip we have gpx files for both GC and GCA, all put into one neat little database with GSAK. We don't care where they come from, a cache is a cache is a cache.

I think a part of the problem is when you find a cache on gca, it doesn't count on your gc count. Is there any way this could be possible so it doesn't matter where the caches are logged the count is the same. I think that may encourage some.
