I agree with Chelby on not 'boycotting' the DVRAC. I don't think she was
refering to my post (as I only said I wouldnt go simply because it doesnt
interest me enough; I am more into it for the cache 'find').

I was thinking about that last night and thought that perhaps some of us
should talk with the DVRAC's highest up people and see if they even know
anything about this. I would show them all the printouts of the forum
messages and such as well as the cache web page. Perhaps we can get this
idiot volunteer worker (or whoever it was) brought forward.

On the other note: I always sign the guest logs at the virtual cache museums
as 'team ropingthewind' and make mention of geocaching. I have talked with a
few of the attendants at the museums and they have been very happy with the
'virtual' cache at their museums. The attendants usually ask where I am from
and what brought me to the museum and of course I tell them all about
geocaching and the virtual that is at the museum and how it all works. They
usually say "yea, we have had several people come in for that, sounds like
fun!" and "Thanks for choosing our museum". Overall, they seem very pleased
by the response.
