When I leap frog with my buddy, I never leave GZ until he has eyes on the cache and vice versa. What's the difference with you doing that and me seeing my buddy signing the log on a cache as I whizzed by him on my bike en route to the next cache? We (you and I) were both 10' away from our respective caches, but we never touched them or signed our name on the log. If I may play Devil's Advocate for a moment.what if (for whatever reason or for no reason at all) you never got within 10' of your cache? Let's say your friend found it, but you just stayed where you were for whatever reason but you could easily have walked over to it (as opposed to it being up a tree or across a river or something) to touch the cache or sign the log. And I don't log finds for caches I didn't search for, even if my friend signed my name to it. Sometimes my friend signs both our names.īut I don't sign my friends name for a cache I found while my friend was 528ft down the road searching for some other cache. Sometimes I sign my own name and my friend's name.
(Seriously.I'm not being facetious about that. How about looking at it this way: If you are out caching with a friend while hiking thru the woods, and as you search GZ your friend finds the cache first, do you sign the log yourself or just have your friend sign the log for you since they already have the log in hand? If you have personally signed the log for every find that you've logged, then good for you for having purist levels of morality that would make Knowschad proud. It's a HUGE difference between leap frogging and divide and conquer. Also, if John can't find cache 1 on the bike trail, Jane stops to help look until they either find it or DNF it.which would not happen if the two of them were nowhere near each other. If caches 1-1000 are in one area (let's say in Florida) and caches 1001-2000 are in another area (let's say Texas) and John and Jane are never in each other's area, then it's much different than the two of them riding down a bike trail together. At times the game is flawed and rough, rife with scandal, liars, cheaters and other black marks, and at other times the game is beautiful, picturesque and innocent.Yeah, I don't see much difference between John finding caches 1-1000 while Jane finds caches 1001-2000, vs John finding caches 1, 3, 5, etc., while Jane finds caches 2, 4, 6, etc. I'm choosing a photo of Joe Jackson because I think he can summarize everything there is about baseball. It did not appear until the Spalding guide came out the following spring and has since been published in more than a thousand papers." -Charles Conlon
The picture was not printed the next day. In my excitement, I had snapped it, by instinct. I said, 'Now, there was a great picture and you missed it.' I took out my plates and developed them. "The catcher's peg went right by Jimmy, as he was thrown on his face. I say Ty's clenched teeth, his determined look. "My first thought was that my friend, Austin, had been injured. Jimmy turned, backed into the base, and was greeted by a storm of dirt, spikes, shoes, uniforms - and Ty Cobb.
Cobb was on second, with one out, and the hitter was trying to bunt him to third. I was off third, chatting with Jimmy Austin, third baseman for the New York club. Late in the summer, Cobb, who stole 76 bases that season, was going like a tornado. That season the Tigers won the pennant again. "THE STRANGE thing about that picture of Ty Cobb stealing third at the Hilltop grounds of the Yankees - a picture which has been reproduced hundreds of times, and still is being bought from me - was that I did not know I had snapped it.
