Mach old hand Registered: 15/07/2002 Posts: 828 Loc: Texas, USA	I spoke briefly at the Amersfoort meet about changes that I've made to Jolene. I'm posting some slides here for those that missed it. The links for the plastic suppliers that I've used or found are: Fiber Rod: http://www.fiberopticproducts.com/Flourescent.htm Acrylic: http://www.delviesplastics.com/colored%20cast%20rod.htm http://www.plastruct.com/ http://www.acplasticsinc.com Attachments 226528-Slide2.JPG (124 downloads) Edited by Mach (17/07/2004 20:02)

Mach old hand Registered: 15/07/2002 Posts: 828 Loc: Texas, USA	I finally got a chance to go through the gallery (Now that I'm back home where I have enough bandwidth to enjoy them). Nice work! The Amersfoort town photos turned out great. I'm sorry that I missed the buried travel bug hotel cache. Some thought went into that one. What was your final cache count?

mlord carpal tunnel Registered: 29/08/2000 Posts: 14496 Loc: Canada	We visited four geocaches around Amersfoort, and another five in Amsterdam. But for the whole trip including London, the tally was around 99 or so! Speaking of which.. was it St.John's Wood cache that Erin was trying to describe to me -- an overgrown churchyard with tombstones among the bushes..? The cache there was a micro, with plastic foliage glued to it that matched exactly the leaves of the shrub it was hanging in. Very very tricky! Cheers

Mach old hand Registered: 15/07/2002 Posts: 828 Loc: Texas, USA	Wow! That should top off the find count nicely. The cache Erin was describing was a DNF for us but looks like it was archived about the same time that we were in the area. The kali cache

I went over there to buy my acrylic for a PC case I designed and built from scratch. Off topic: They do laser cutting, if you want me to take your design to them for buttons just let me know. _________________________ -Michael #040103696 on a shelf Mk2a - 90 GB - Red - Illuminated buttons

Yeah, it bumped me to the top find count for locals here, at least until the former title holder (since day one) gets off of the golf course for a few hours . Here's a pic of one of the Amsterdam cache sites (attached). Attachments 226549-z0067193.jpg (222 downloads) Edited by mlord (17/07/2004 23:42)
