Glenn,
The forums are fine for those who go there but I have
so little time anymore that I check my email and
sometimes go into the chat room. I don't ever remember
to check them unless someone sends a link by email.

I hate to say it but, i'm in the middle of the road on
this one. I hope Idon't get run over!
LOL
I can see Mike & the others point & I 90% agree.
However,like Dan said, we don't all live in
a cache rich environment like St. Louis. Although
there is getting to bea good number of
caches in the Quincy/Hannibal/Keokuk areas, about 1/2
are mine & theother 1/2 i've already
done. So, I have to drive 1-2 hours just to do a
cache. I know it'ssilly but, I was a little
bummed when I got little or no recognition for #200.
E-mails will be finefor # 300 though!
