Me and a group of friends go to Maine every year to do some exploring and white water rafting. We found a great place for a cache and this year we placed it. Unfortunately, we hadn't read the guidlines until we went to post the cache on the GC website. Since the closest of us lives in Boston, according to the guidelines, we are too far to maintain it. So I'm asking if anyone would like to help maintain it. Let me know if you are interested and I'll send you the coordinates and some info on it.
I can maintain it - I have 2 caches in the area already. Email me and we can discuss. :D :DQuote:

Yeah - we've made contact and looks like I'll be maintaining it. Sounds like an interesting cache, too. I hope to get up there this week to check it out.Quote:

Good job Bruce, this is another example of geocachers working together towards one common goal and that is making geocaching in Maine the best.
Oops! I was helping a Massachusetts cacher! :eek: :eek:Quote:

Besides, I figure we were all part of Massachusetts once anyways -- just one big happy family until we broke off . . . and now the way things are going (taxes, social programs, etc.) it seems as though we're determined to rejoin Massachusetts anyways.
Please note: The above statements are made by someone with dubious Maine connections . . . my father's parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, etc. have lived all their life in Maine with connections running from Fort Fairfield, ME. However, my mother's parents moved here from the Bronx when she was a teen . . . therefore under the terms of the Maine Ancestry Accord of 1987 I may not be entitled to be called a full-blooded Mainer.;) :D
Ft. Fairfield and the Bronz???That explains a lot!! LOL
Excellent point - and when we retired from the military, we had the option of retiring literally anywhere. And we CHOSE Maine! LOL!Quote:

It has an interesting twist to it, and I'm looking forward to see what the cache owner has done. Stay tuned! LOL! :D :DQuote:

I guess I should've marked it as swimming even though you aren't necessarily swimming to get it.
Before I forget . . . welcome to geocachingmaine.org wyrdvans . . . hopefully you'll stick around for a bit and meet the rest of the "gang."
Thanks for the welcome. I should be around for a while...I'm really anxious to see what people say about the geocache me and my friends placed. We were surprised that no one had placed one in the area before.
Well, I just hadn't gotten to that area yet! LOL! ;) ;)Quote:
