Event Status Revoked
« on: April 01, 2010, 08:49:54 AM »
Ok, major bad news today on the first day of April. I got an email from Cache Viewer stating, basically, that he is going to archive the Spring Cache Challenge event listing!

Apparently there has been a "proliferation of such Event (in name only) caches across Ontario" and that he "and [his] fellow Ontario volunteer cache reviewers have decided to enforce the spirit of the rules" which say that cache events are not allowed for the "sole purpose of group caching." As a result, he is going to archive the event listing as of noon April 1, 2010 (today, thanks for all the warning) but wanted to give me the courtesy of advance notification.

This is very disheartening and I'm seriously considering just scrapping this year's Spring Cache Challenge and all future ones.

It this a bad April Fool's joke? or not?

Still tuned for the latest news at noon today.

I think sAz is just worried that he won't do so well this year so he's looking for a way out of it.  ;D

Claims of cheating from out of towners,  :o and Wandering Mans profile  purports to be The next Great SCC Champion! Imagine that ?  ::) Well if Kathy and I could attend a full event, we would be champs  ;), and unfortunately we never get in a full event  :-[ , Shroom ? washed up and up to his arse in diapers (No he is not wearing diapers, the kid is). Jlee ? He really should get a job not look for tupperware. PNutbeagle ? Too busy trying to get Jlee to stop and maybe have an intimate moment? NO Jim does not have time for that to busy not working and caching. Q & A ? too busy making multi caches that don't make sense, Poohma's ? Don't they have to be in bed by 10.00 ?  The Pepsis ? They have to babysit DNF and wash the diapers that are up to Shrooms arse. Jungle Bus ? Too busy breaking their gp's so they don't have to try to be king anymore. Ragbag ? too busy finding  deranged persons (hey that sounds like me)  lost in the bush but just can't seem to find them something about the satellites would not cooperate or something like that, Get off the paved and red nuck ? They will still be in their ice shack at the bottom of Whitefish Lake sipping on Beer waiting for a bite. (There are No fish in that lake!!!)  with that being said, the only other REAL contender is ChrisDom  ;D. I say he will be King, then the would be kings can hold their coffee and caches events so that the cache owners can hold their hands while they look for caches  ;). Yep There will be others that may try as well, but Chris can sniff out a cache quicker than the monster beagles and, with one eye tied behind his back. The way I see it any.

You know this is all in good fun, We are all going to have fun. Get out hide some caches, never mind about the rules, shroom is just joking, hide lots, have fun. Make Thunder Bay a place that cachers want to visit. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
If you don't like the way I drive....Stay off the sidewalk.
