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

198 scored!
So I had a hunch, but the pictures didn't seem to match, so I did a lap around the building before texting regotti to see if I was on the right track, and with a little encouragement I found it right where I looked in the first place. I will complete the mad lib when I get home. -- Leil Cardoza. Awesome.
1. feast your eyes on the VELOCACHE you wish to find.
2. go find it. BRING A CAMERA
3. take pictures that match the perspective of the original VELOCACHE post, a picture of you and your bike and the cache as well. NO ZOOMING. ZOOM KILLS PERSPECTIVE.
4. score what is stashed at VELOCACHE.
5. go back to your computer and post a comment under the VELOCACHE # you have found and send the images/find to:
velocacheboise@gmail(dot)com or
a(dot)mortician@gmail(dot)com or
(pardon the crypticness, spam-bots suck)
6. revel in your victory and go set one up for someone else!
7. If you want to deploy your own velocache, study this blog for hours and read this, and this, and this.

i merely confirmed that the pictured would indeed match up with the deployment location and that he should keep looking.
