Re: [gpsstash] Just for the CyberStash Curious... Spoiler!!
I think what the majority are saying, is "cyberstashing" might have a place, perhaps, but it's not the game we're all playing so far... it's not Geocaching/GPS stash hunting, it's something completely different... The existing game is finding a physical container via coordinates... It's the idea that has attracted many people..
Geocache/GPS Stash Hunt _IS_ the hiding and finding of a physical container hidden somewhere in the real-world. Whether you like it or not, that's what it is.
If you want another different game (cyberstashing), then it needs to be independent of this one... The original "GPS stash" idea has stuck... It's permanent now.. It's finished.. The rules are done, the terminology is done.. Everyone interested already knows the basic idea.. It's been let loose, and it's expanding surprisingly well... Let it work. Dave, It's only been a month or so, and you've placed more stashes than anyone.. Within a year, I suspect we'll have stashes in every state, AS LONG AS THE GAME REMAINS THE SAME. The simplicity of the original game is what makes it accessable to everyone, and is what's driving the interest so far..... the original "GPS Stash Hunt" idea that you came up with is the good one.... Just let it work...
BTW, I will be probably placing a new (real physical) stash tomorrow in a lowland area, here in SW Washington.. (it will requre actual GPS navigation over flat public land, hopefuly)
