So now the questions is: What does that mean for the 50, 100 1000, etc pins and coins. Should the finds refer to GS only or the combined? Since we can now log the same cache twice on both GS and OC, (as has been done already), I think some rules s/b put in place as to what constitutes 50, 100, or whatever milestone to qualify for the pins and coins.

I went to signup and it said my email address already existed, so I signed in and PRESTO!, there I was. It will be awhile before it is a real viable option. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Michael Rogers <mrogers07@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: geocaching@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wed, December 8, 2010 10:42:09 AM Subject: [GeoStL] Re: Garmin is now competing with Groundspeak - new geocaching site I am not too sure what I think about this new site, either. I don't think I'll be running off to it any time soon, though. At any rate, I signed up to preserve my caching name. -Michael -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Jim Bensman <junkmailno@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: geocaching@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wed, December 8, 2010 10:38:40 AM Subject: [GeoStL] Garmin is now competing with Groundspeak - new geocaching site http://garmin.blogs.com/my_weblog/2010/12/geocaching-free-for-all-garmin-launches-opencachingcom.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Garmin+%28Garmin+Blog%29 http://www.opencaching.com/ Not sure what I think of this. But I like the ability for rating the caches. I also think I like there being competition with Groundspeak. I signed up for an account. Jim Bensman "Nature Bats Last"
