[GeoSTL] Re: locationless, new find category coming soon !

It was getting out of control.
I think it's fine if folks want to hunt those kinds of things, but don't
call it finding a geocache.
It belittles our sport.
I tried to go back and change my find for KAOS and Benchmark but couldn't
get to my log.
That's when the servers were slow.
I have no problem with Jeremy doing it for me, actually glad he is going to
do it.

: I think that's fair. I still enjoy seeing some of the pictures and
locations
: of SOME of the locationless caches.

: Have you seen the new "Benchmark hunting"? It's fun looking for the marker
: using the clues of the distance and directions from a nail & shiner.

: We're introducing a variation of Geocaching called Benchmark Hunting! (US
: Only, unfortunately) Initially we're making it only available to
subscribers
: in order to give you the first look at it and offer any suggestions you
: have. After logging into the geocaching site, go to this URL:
:
: http://www.geocaching.com/mark
: <A HREF="http://www.geocaching.com/mark";>For URL Challenged Browsers</A>
:
: In many cases a GPS unit isn't required, but can be quite helpful to find
: these markers. We've been waiting for a while to launch this, and now that
: we have the capacity to store the 700,000 benchmarks in the US we can
: finally let folks play with it.
:
: We're testing a new image upload feature that allows you to upload images
of
: many different formats which will be automatically converted to JPG on the
: site. We've also upped the image size to around 4 megs, though it will be
: shrunk down after the upload. In addition you can apply coordinates to the
: image.
