Basically it is a virtual cache that will be approved by the geology
guys. GC.com reviewers will not have anything to do with them.
If you just set up a virtual cache now to go look at some rocks, I am
pretty sure that the evil reviewers will mention something like "Not enough
wow" or "what is so special about a fossil in a rock?" or something like
that. They are a nasty lot.
Since the real deal geology guys are looking at these, I am thinking that
the likelyhood of getting to see something that is actually pretty neat
would be pretty high. Or so they are hoping.
