Hey kids! Can you believe it's time to decide on our Outstanding Geocaches in Georgia for 2005 already!

Here's the list of the 14 categories up for consideration this year;



Georgia's Must Hit Geocache

Georgia's Outstanding Geocache Title

Georgia's Outstanding Geocache Theme

Georgia's Outstanding Geocache Hike

Georgia's Outstanding Remarkable / Scenic Geocache Location

Georgia's Outstanding Hard to Find Geocache - Physically

Georgia's Outstanding Hard to Find Geocache - Mentally

Georgia's Outstanding Multi-Stage Geocache

Georgia's Outstanding Micro Geocache

Georgia's Outstanding Virtual Geocache

Georgia's Outstanding Unknown / Mystery Geocache

Georgia's Outstanding Event Geocache

Georgia's Outstanding Traditional Geocache

Georgia's Outstanding Creative Geocache Container


Notice a few categorical changes from last year - Creative has become Creative Container - Remarkable and Scenic are now one category - Drive-By deleted - Event and Traditional added.


You can nominate any cache placed at any time as long as it was active in 2005. If it was archived before 2005 it would not be considered. If it was archived during 2005 then it could be voted on even though it may now be gone (or past in the case of an event cache).

Let the process begin by posting your nominations to this thread for twelve days beginning today & until December 23!

Boy, the SC put you right to work, didn't they, JB? Glad you're in charge.

Is there a limit as to how many you can nominate in each category?

Nominate 'till your hearts content! Just remember it'll be that much more work for poor, poor, pitiful me (PPPM).

Just checking... so we cannot nominate events that took place before 2005 right?

You can nominate any cache placed at any time as long as it was active in 2005.

Was that event that took place before 2005 active in 2005?

I think not.

Er, right!

Well since it was a new category, I didn't know.

Here are some so far. Still working on the others. When you have a lot of finds, it takes awhile to remember the ones that really stand out for some reason or another.

Georgia's Must Hit Geocache - Portland Cave (GC263F), Rock Town (GC76)

Georgia's Outstanding Geocache Theme - Georgia Silver Cache Stash (GCR7B8 + 8 others) , The Happiest Birthday Cache Ever (GCQTAZ)

Georgia's Outstanding Multi-Stage Geocache - Event Horizon (GC85CE), Caching Miss Daisy (GCRH2B)

Georgia's Outstanding Micro Geocache - Another :-) Dog Cache (GCQPHM), A Diamond in the Rough (GCMBRZ)

Georgia's Outstanding Virtual Geocache - RR Overlook (GCH8P5), Who Is Hatchett? (GC41F4)

Georgia's Outstanding Unknown / Mystery Geocache - Harry Blackstone: Now You See It, Now You Don't (GCP34D), The Da Vinci edoC (GCJHKP), CrOsSeYeD (GCMZMV)

Georgia's Outstanding Event Geocache - Lunch at the Lake (GCP4BZ), Fourth Annual GGA Challenge Event (GCQ7N0) (there were two kick butt Wanna Go events, but those were in TN and SC respectively, oh well)

Is it tacky to nominate your own caches...

Is it tacky to nominate your own caches...

Probably not as tacky as creating a sock puppet account to do it for you. That one will really get your hand slapped.

Gosh, I don't know. I think it's probably controversial enough that you shouldn't do it.

I was going to, but now that you stirred the hornets nest I'd better not. Just kidding!

Seriously, I think people are free to do what they want, it's the ultimate voting by your peers that decides the winners. There are no awards for being nominated.

~erik~

Okay, here's the rest. I primarily nominated caches I found in this past year with a few exceptions.

Georgia's Outstanding Hard to Find Geocache - Mentally - That's Not Fair (GCH6AH), Like A Tornado Hit It (GCFFFF), A Chip off the Old Block (GCKR8N)

Georgia's Outstanding Traditional Geocache - The Savannah "Pow Castle" (GCP0MZ), Only You (GCHY7F), Ma's Bottom (GCJTER), Roswell Incident (GCME0Y)

Georgia's Outstanding Geocache Hike - Vineyard Mountain (GC6045), Sawnee Mountain (GCPEM7)

Georgia's Outstanding Remarkable / Scenic Geocache Location - Indian Seats Missy and Nord (GCBA9A)

Georgia's Outstanding Hard to Find Geocache - Physically - 4Rs (GCD500)

Georgia's Outstanding Geocache Title - Did You Cache AnyThing??? (GCMJW3)

Georgia's Outstanding Creative Geocache Container - Harry Houdini's Treasure Box (GCNKM3)
