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

#358 found

like most caches, they all make me work hard....this one perhaps the hardest. My journey began at 2:40. i ran into road construction in two spots requiring detours and a hike-a-bike. i did not give up. i found the path but it was "walk only"! so being a good, upstanding citizen, i got off and pushed my bike to said location. i looked around that area for a good 40 minutes, even getting into the river for hopes of a better perspective (river is COLD!). finally i found it in a spot that looked completely undisturbed. totally fooled me! i grab my bike to find i have a flat! eeerrrr. i tried to pump it up but it wasn't taking the air so i pushed it clear to the west end of the walk only path. while i was pumping it up, spoting0 rolled up. then i was very nice and saved Leil from heading out to get it as he tried to zoom by us. finally got air to stay in the tire and made it home nearly 5 hours after i started.

woo hoo!
