For Pete's sake!
C'mon Dave, the cachers that did the series obviously had a great time....period. It doesn't sound like it was all about the numbers, more about a gathering a friends so why is it necessary to "rate" the caches? You're not going to convince those folks that they didn't have a "great time" so why bother trying? I know you mean no ill-will, but sheesh, enough already. With as many folks enthusiastically writing about the fun they have doing these type of series, it's hard to deny that folks are having fun. To me that's what it's about.
Oh, Di celebrated her birthday with me yesterday and because she wanted to do " a bunch on my birthday" we travelled south and bagged 55 of those caches. We had a blast..laughed all day, froze my feet but we might go back and do some more soon.
Once again, to each his/her own.
As far as the cross posts, a mistake for sure but Chadd's a quick study and I'm sure it won't be a common practice...right Chadd?
Sometimes the road less traveled is less traveled for a reason.
