Eric,
I don't think you need to worry here=2E I go out with Glenn a lot and I ca=
n
guarantee you that he has the same sheets printed out that you or I would
have=2E There are no handwritten numbers on the sheets either=2E Since thi=
s is a
game that depends on the honor system of logging, any of us could probably=
log caches on GC=2ECOM and never physically visit the cache or write in th=
e
log book=2E I know I don't verify every log entry with the logbook on my
caches=2E
Glenn is keeping track of the WP's and final location of the multi's to
allow him to verify the locations are valid and within the GC=2ECOM guidel=
ines
(not near a RR, in a natural area, etc)=2E He can then keep track when new=
caches are placed to ensure that the =2E1 mile between caches rule is true=
=2E
Having a cache approver in our area has a big advantage since he knows
details that other approvers don't=2E For instance, Katy trail and Grant t=
rail
show up as a RR track on the maps, but they are converted bike trails=2E
Rockwoods Reservation is off limits but the maps show a large park=2E Out =
of
state approvers wouldn't know that information=2E I think the closest
approvers other than Glenn are in TN and KY=2E
Glenn may be able to keep all the intermediate and final WP's in his head
when we go caching, but I guarantee you he does an excellent job of hiding=
it=2E :-)
