If one of them has something to do with your trip and being able<BR>to fulfill the mission, by all means go for it.

it travel<BR>around Eastern Montana a bit before heading to all points east on a race<BR>against Daddy's Moun10bike Geobash coin where the goal is Ohio before a<BR>return trip to WA, home of the Moun10* family.

Unfortunately many people were picking up and dropping these items<BR>into the same geocache so they could increase their find count or receive a<BR>new trackable icon in their profile. As a result we have created a new log<BR>type which also goes towards your profile count without causing unnecessary<BR>extra movements for the trackable item.<BR><BR>The new log type is
called "Discovered it" and can be used if you have the<BR>tracking number for the icon. Please use this if you have no plans to move<BR>the Travel Bug or geocoin to a new location.<BR><BR>------------ Regarding the changing of Names ---------------<BR><BR>We're working on customizing an application for use with Geocaching.com<BR><HTTP: Geocaching.com>that will require us to lock down the ability to<BR>change your username. As a result on May 15th we will be locking down the<BR>username change feature on the web site.<BR><BR>The technical issue relates to a fundimental part of their application that<BR>stores usernames in the database outside of the account data. This means<BR>that if we did make username changes in our account database it would<BR>require a tremendous effort to automatically update the other system with<BR>the username change.<BR><BR>Generally sites don't allow name changes like we've been allowing over the<BR>last 5 years, so we're moving towards the
generally accepted standard for<BR>most web sites. It's an unfortunate change but necessary considering the<BR>importance of the new features.<BR><BR>For those who just can't live without changing their usernames we'll do our<BR>best to come up with some tools to move your information over to a new<BR>username. You can already do adoptions <HTTP: adopt www.geocaching.com>to<BR>your new account but there is no current way to move other information like<BR>bookmark lists, premium memberships, or log entries.<BR><BR>(UPDATED WITH)<BR><BR>The lockdown has been changed to May 20, so you have a few more days to get<BR>your name changes in.<BR><BR><BR>--------------------------- <BR><BR>That is all I have. :)<BR><BR>ShadowAce<BR><BR><BR><BR>DISCLAIMER:<BR>This message is confidential, intended only for the named recipient(s) and<BR>may contain information that is privileged or exempt from disclosure under<BR>applicable law.
