Hmmm... tough
crowd. I didn't realize Bill and I would cause such a ruckus. I
do this for FUN (and because I'm addicted but that's a different story), and
I'm just lucky that because I'm a newbie, I'm able to play catch-up
and have a blast getting a bunch in a short period of time.
In any case, I'm not taking this whole "how many GPSr's?" thing seriously,
however, I don't mind playing devil's avocate and making a few friendly
comments. (Nothing like stirring the pot)
- Even though we
(CacheLess and I) team up, I have been known to secretly grab the cache, try
to sign the log and return it before CacheLess notices. He really
hates it when I try to do that... but not that he hasn't tried the same
thing to me. With that kind of behavoir, I'm sure he's GLAD I'm not on
his team.
- CacheLess has come with me to
get caches that he already has logged. Despite begging, he
refuses to tell me anything.. and even laughs at me on occasion. With
that kind of behavior, I'm glad he's not on MY team.
- So... if I knew
where the Pueblo Grande Museum was, and I didn't use my GPS to get there,
then it doesn't count as a geocache find?
- I've seen users who simply use the
mapquest maps to get close and find the cache just by searching the
area. Should their logs be deleted?
- What about a person who stumbles
across a cache, discovering geocaching for the first time. Does he
need to buy a GPS, then return to the cache later to be able to sign the
log?
Keep in mind, I'm not
being serious here. I'm just trying to say that geocaching is supposed
to be FUN, and that's all we're trying to do: HAVE FUN!

Truth be known, I
did understand Regan's question, but I wanted him to ask it straight
out. To be honest, I'm quite offended by the question. Had he
bothered to become informed before raising an issue, he would have known
that a number of my caches have been done with my family. That fact
is even put forth in word and photo on my profile page. Yes,
TheWebbman and I have done a great many caches together. So to have
Tres Hombres, Lazy K, and Team C.H.U.M.P. There are also a number of
caches that we both have gotten, but at different times, as well as caches
that only one of us have. I wonder if this question has posed to
those teams or any of the others that frequently hunt
together.
For the record, I
wouldn't be caught away from home without my GPS 12 and TheWebbman is
quite fond of his Legend. It's amazing what a little bit of
competition will bring out in a person.

On March 17th at 11:40 a.m. RandMan responded with his
interpretation of Regan's question and thoughts:
Bill,
Didn't you read the fine print in the rules for the
definition of what a "team" is? If both you and "The
Webbman" used the same GPSr to find all of the 250+ caches that you
found together, then you would be considered a "team" and can only
record your finds as a team (together). You cannot both claim
finds separately. Therefore, one of you will need to delete
all of the caches that you found together (which in turn will
move everyone up a point in the AZ stats) [:)] .

Can
you re-phrase that? Sometimes I'm comprehension
challenged. (I mean, I don't get it)
Will both of you be using the same
GPS???

You guys at the top have got to knock off this
rivalry or us newbies will never be able to catch up.
;-) Speaking of which, be watching for another
big day from teams TheWebbman and CacheLess. Now I hope
I didn't just jinx us.
