WE HAVE ARRIVED

Well, it has happened. velocache.net is now a fully operational battle station. Prepare yourselves.

Before I digress, which I am known to do, let me start off by giving some credit and handing out some thanks. This would not have happened without you all. You know who you are. Thank you. The new site would not be in existance without Buttars, if you run into him, give him a hug and buy him a beer. HUGE thank yous to the veterans out there who have kept this afloat in times of trouble and triumph...I have personal things to say to you that will have to wait until we have a face to face.

At the pokercache party on September 19 I would really like to take a bit of all of your time and preach a little about "the game". We'll see, I will probably just get drunk and cry a lot.

SO. Go to the site. Familiarize yourself. It is different than the one we play on now but can do all of the things we do now AND MUCH MUCH MORE. You will need to create an account. It is free and always will be for players. I realize some of you have already been in and have looked around but it is time for everyone to come on board. Texting from a phone to the site works. E-mailing too. There is a great forum feature that we can all cache ourselves in as well. This site is still in beta. It is not finished so now is the time to see if we can break it.

For now, play around. Posting "real" caches is not off limits but I think it might serve us better to get really comfortable with the new toy before we go "live". Post pictures of your cats and dogs. Go to the forum and talk about bikes. Have fun.

LOVE to you all. -A. Mortician

#232 found

i set off to get 248a. hammered up both bench hills. legs were a little weak with the overkill of an hour on the elliptical this morning but i hammered never the less. arrived at said location just as my bike basket breaks. get it rigged back together then look for cache. no where to be found. bummed and no one posted they found it. bastards....so i hop on old cruiser to grab 232. just get down hill on orchard and my frickin front wheel falls off! seriously! nice man on bike helps get it put back on and tightened up. i ride the next mile and grab 232! the pisser to 232 is that damn tower is actually in the photo i took for 246. damn it all!

the positives of this story....no one was injured while snagging cache, people on bikes are nice, good thing gypsy P didn't get a flat from the goat heads since he left his bike pump in the cache, i have definitely already burned all the beer calories i will now consume after that crazy, convoluted route!
