River Deep Mountain High - Game Thread

Derringer · Post by **Derringer** » 06 June 07 3:55 pm

Just been looking at the competition ladder,
This is becoming a very close and exciting competition,
I expect a flurry of competition finds this long weekend in Australia.

Can teams maintain their average - which is of a higher standard to date than last years comp ?(despite the higher values given)
Will the Septic Tanks blitz us all???
Of equal interest is the lowest scoring - alot more teams this year are taking this path.
Will Pickupfamily be able to score a second win in a row???

Some of the low find count cachers ie 5 or less will have to put their skates on to achieve the 20 caches in time.

Which dark horse will appear out of nowhere to blitz us all??

How many 20litre plus caches will appear on GC and GCA listings in the next few weeks?

Just fun to speculate, looking forward to the next 3 weeks

I'm not sure I'll get the 20 finds but taking part has certainly made me visit some caches I may not have otherwise.

Requirement 12. Is Peak okay instead of hill or mountain?

Sure, why not as long as it's up a mountain or hill and not just the name of the shape of a cappuccino themed cache

I wouldn't expect a flurry of finds in the Sydney Basin. It's filling with water a rapid rate. I'm scared to venture outside in case a huge wave drags me out to sea. Seriously, it's a bit dangerous to go out at the moment. Hoping Monday is quieter.

That's almost a pity, since I was planning to mention here that I'd seen more large caches in the last week than I had in the previous year.

While it's still great to see them out there, it's a shame that it's not just a naturally-occurring trend...

Still plenty of big grasstrees around Perth, after all!

That case is acceptable, yes.

I dropped a swaggie into GC116KC (1st Beldon Cubs Cache) but the page doesn't recognise the 7 digit GC number. It comes back as invalid.

Post by **caughtatwork** » 10 June 07 9:42 pm

It works for me.

Go to this page:
http://geocaching.com.au/cache/gc116kc

On the right hand side, you should see Drop a swaggie
http://geocaching.com.au/my/move/drop/gc116kc

You should be able to select your swaggie from the dropdown list, make your log and hit the Drop button.

If you get an error message, please respond here with the exact wording.

I don't know, I got it right this time as it dropped in for me. Thanks
