Here you will find Rules clarifications,
policy updates, and proceedures.
- 5/17/05
hi teams:
well, were just a couple days away from rally weekend.
i just want to make sure that everyone has the waypoints you're
going
to need to get around fallon. these are not rally waypoints.
these
will get you to the various rally locations. to find rally school
on
friday use the route NENTRY. the waypoints are in the offset
style,
so think of your ride out to soda lake as part of rally school.
one
of the waypoints is a slight abstract.
i should be at rally hq (comfort inn) at around noon until 5ish.
teams can check in beginning at this time. you will draw lots
for
starting position when you check in.
rally school will take place beginning whenever there is interest
in
it. make sure you check in at rally hq if you arrive in fallon
before
5. when there are enough teams ready for rally school we will
make
sure an instructor is on location.
the drivers/navigators meeting will be start between 7:00 &
7:30 at
the rally school waypoint.
first vehicle leaves the line at 8:35.
breakfast at the eagles club is from 8 to 10 on saturday morning.
the
drivers/navigators meeting will take place during breakfast at
around
9:15.
first vehicle leaves the line at 10:35
something to think about: for those who are not interested in
competition and don't want to be on the course for over 5 hours,
we
have created a short course. be advised that the short course
has
fewer caches and fewer course challenges, therefore, fewer points
will
be offered. short course teams also start later in order to get
all
of the full course teams back for dinner. you will need to make
the
decision of long or short course by the time you download your
day
waypoints. the short course is just an abbreviated version of
the
long course. it just takes a few shortcuts here and there. this
is
your choice.
the awards banquet at the eagles club begins with cocktails at
6 and
dinner at 7.
teri has timed herself downloading waypoints, routes and track
logs
and we've determined that, with multiple gps units per team,
it will
take too long to do the download from the starting line. therefore,
she will begin downloading night waypoints during rally school
and day
waypoints during breakfast. like last year, we will confiscate
your
gps units until you're in the staging lane, a few vehicles before
your
time to leave.
make sure you bring your download cables. if we cannot download
to
your gps unit you will need to load the waypoints manually.
i suggest you take one last visit to the rally web site's updates
and
information page at
http://tinyurl.com/d7gem
one of the updates relates to items you may
want to bring. you might also want to take some time with the
rules.
btw: i will have rule books for every entry.
btw: taking a bit of history from famous drag racer "big
daddy" don
garlits, who in 1967 was not performing well, decided that he
would
not shave until he won a race. he got to remove the whiskers
after
winning the nhra nationals. well, a couple of weeks ago, i decided
not to shave until i was finished with rally preparations. i'm
shaving tonight!
i'm sure there's more, but that's all i can think of right now.
once again, if you have any questions, just lemme know.
see you friday, friends!

- 5/12/05 - Rally waypoints
hi everyone:
the entries are still coming in. i think we're going to have
a great
group of teams.
you may already have these files. i just want to make sure everyone
gets correct waypoints for getting around fallon. i've also sent
along waypoints with gpx extensions. maybe this will help for
mac
users.
rallywaypoints.gpx
rallywaypoints.loc
the waypoints will get you to all of the important waypoints
the rally
will be using while we're in fallon.
these are not waypoints of the course. you will get them just
prior
to the event.
if you have not yet reserved your meals for the pancake breakfast
and/or the awards banquet make sure you contact team laughing
gravy
before tomorrow. we need to tell the eagles club how many will
be
there by that time. email bea at: van489@earthlink.net
i've also attached the updated version of the rules. i believe
teri
has updated them on the web site if you can't get it open for
some
reason.
if you have not made reservations for a hotel, the comfort inn
is
booked-up solid.
earlier today i made reservations for 5 rooms at the bonanza
inn. i
think they have more rooms. if you call the bonanza, make sure
you
tell them that you're with monty wolf and the geocache group
and want
the discount.
i guess that's it for now.
when you see me next friday, i'll be bald from pulling my out
my hair.
i hear the wildflowers are better today than they were last weekend.
they should be peeking by next weekend.
as always, if you have any questions, just ask me!
see you next friday.
monty
- 5/11/05 - Schedule Change
hi rally teams:
who'd'a thought a little thing like breakfast and dinner would
have caused such a bunch o' trouble.
since the eagles club can't accommodate us late enough for us
all to get some sleep the breakfast is going to begin at 8.
the first car to leave morning starting line will leave at 10:35
instead of 11:05.
and since they all turn into pumpkins early in fallon we need
to get you back into town early enough to have plates on the
table at 7:00 pm. so, we will be operating under a 2 minute interval
for the day rally instead of 3 minutes.
there have been no changes for the night course.
speaking of breakfast and dinner, if you haven't contacted team
laughing gravy confirming if, and how many, meals you'll need
for breakfast and dinner, do so asap. we need to finalize the
figures with the eagles by friday. that's this friday, not next.
contact bea at: van489@earthlink.net
i plan to be at the comfort inn by noon. i, or somebody, will
be there until around 5:30. you will need to check in with me
or somebody in the office at hq before the rally. among other
things, you will be drawing for staring position.
rally school will take place beginning late afternoon at soda
lake. make sure you check with rally hq for times.
i'm shooting for 7:15ish for drivers/navigators meeting.
first car off the line is at 8:05
if you have not received downloads of the locations of the starting
lines, rally hq, eagles club, etc. let me know asap.
see you in 9 day.

- 4/12/05
hi rally participant:
since we're just a couple of days away from our last edition
of rally school i thought i'd remind everyone where and when
it will take place.
the where is in virginia city, nv at mandarin garden chinese
restaurant on the corner of "c" and union streets.
the when would be this saturday, april 16 at 1:30 in the afternoon.
you can find out further details on the cache page at http://tinyurl.com/4raqc
# # # # #
nv wolf and i traveled most of the day course on sunday. i don't
know which course i like best day or night. each has it's own
interesting aspects. but, the day course is certainly the most
scenic of the two.
the wild flowers are beginning to pop out. we saw a couple of
clusters of desert paintbrush. they should still be in bloom
in the higher elevations by the time the rally comes around.
you won't miss its bright magenta.
i can also report that spring has officially arrived in fallon.
we saw a couple of flocks of yellow headed blackbirds. when they
return to fallon IT IS SPRING!!
we also saw a couple of golden eagles and an osprey.
all of these critters of the wing were on the rally course.
we hope you can make it saturday in v.c. if not, we'll see you
in fallon in may.

- 3/30/05 - Rally School
Hi Rally Participants:
GBES Admin has submitted an Event Cache with gc.com. We're still
waiting for it to be approved.
Watch for it at GCN8QA.
It will be in historic Virginia City at Mandarin Garden Chinese
Restaurant on "C" and Union Streets.
We'll be conducting our last episode of Rally School before the
rally rolls around in May.
We hope you'll able to join us!
Cache you later.
Monty Wolf
- 3/29/05 - Night Caches
Hi Rally Participants:
Just a quick note to tell you that the caches for the night rally
(all 21 of them) have been placed in the deserts around Fallon.
These are the "actual" caches that have been submitted
to gc.com this morning. These will be the caches with the waypoint
numbers that we will provide to you after you finish the rally.
They will not be posted online until the day after the rally.
Now, so you don't go bonkers trying to figure out how late you'll
have to be out there logging all of these caches let me tell
you that there is a cache for the starting line that you will
log in the staging line, one for the finish line that you will
log when you get there, one for each checkpoint challenge after
you find those caches and one for each course challenge that
you will log as you finish them.
The remaining caches will be the route, progressive and multi
caches you'll need to find during the rally.
I would also like to address a question I have received from
several entries regarding the general geocaching public logging
these caches who did not participate in the rally.
Well, relax! :-)
We know you're going to work hard to log those caches and those
who don't enter and wish to log the caches are going to have
to work hard to get them too.
All of the caches we placed over the last couple of weeks are,
at a minimum, 4-star micro-caches hidden out in the middle of
nowhere.
In order to log these caches, the non-rally participants will
also have to submit the "secret word" (which has been
placed on each log sheet) that you will have to write on your
rally route sheets. This will insure that they have actually
"found" the caches and not just logging them to boost
their counts.
I hope this has calmed your concerns.
Don't forget: the deadline to get an entry in at the reduced
fee of $100 is in a couple days. After April 1 the fee increases
to $125.
Cache you later.
Monty Wolf
- 3/25/05 - Fee Increase
Hi Rally Participant:
Just wanted to remind you that the entry fee for the GBES Navigational
Rally will increase from $100 to $125 on April 1. This is not
an April Fools Day Joke!
If you haven't entered, or you know somebody who's been thinking
of entering this is the perfect time to do so. I mean, why pay
extra when you don't have to?
It looks like we will have at least one more session of Rally
School before the big day. At this time we're looking at April
16th in Virginia City, NV.
As far as the rally course preparations go, the night course
is finished. The GBES Admin group will be pre-running it tomorrow
to establish the average speeds you'll need to adhere to during
the rally. We'll be out in force in the coming weeks to hide
the caches we'll be posting on gc.com
The snow is melting in the areas we'll be using for the day course.
We've already established the route. All we need to do at this
point is to get waypoints and set the averages. Well, I guess
we're also going to need to hide some caches there too.
Oh, I almost forgot. If you'd like a little preview of what you
can expect during this year's rally surf over to http://tinyurl.com/4r6gz
and take a peek for yourself. You should find a clue to the location
of the night rally starting line amongst the shots.
As always, if you have any questions, please, just ask.

3/5/05 - "Rally Skool" is a comin' to California
Hi Rally Participant:
Thanks to the efforts of Desert Skwerl, Rally School has been
scheduled for Saturday, March 12 in Penryn, California. To make
it even more enticing, Bryan has made it an Event Cache. You
can find all the details at: Rally
Skool
Bryan has also come up with a graphic to better explain the Offset.
We will have it at the event.
A few members of GBES Admin will be attending the River City
Geocaching and Dining Society's Luau in the Garden Event Cache.
We hope you will also be able to attend this one and make it
a two-fer Event Cache day. You can find those details at: Luau
in the Garden
Around 100 people attended the Event Cache and Rally School last
weekend in Reno. If this is any indication of how many will make
the rally I suspect we will reach our limit of 50 entries. After
that, we will no longer accept entries. So, don't let any grass
grow under your feet!
Just a reminder that the entry fee for the GBES Rally goes up
from $100 to $125 on April 1. No, this is not an April Fools
Day Joke. Unless, that is, if you don't get your entry in by
that time. Then the joke will be on you.
Work on the night course will be completed tomorrow and GBES
Admin members will be pre-running it later this month to establish
our speed averages for the various legs and course challenges.
With Spring in the air (I saw a Red-Winged Blackbird last weekend
– a sure sign of Spring in Nevada being just around the
corner – we should soon be able to get down to business
on the day course.
As always, if you have any questions on the Rally just send us
an email and I'll get right on it.
Cache you later.

- 2/24/05 - Sacto School
hi rally participants:
due to the overwhelming responce after mentioning a sacramento
area training session for this year's rally we've decided to
bring as many reno/carson city/fallon cachers with us to make
it a party.
we've yet to decide on a location, but you can count on it to
take place on saturday, march 12, sometime around midday.
as soon as we get a location narrowed down we will let you know.
we hope this works out for as many nor.cal. cachers as possible.
we'll submit an event cache form when we have a venue secured.
cache you later.

- 2/21/05 - Views and Sacto
School
hi rally participants:
we were out working on the night course yesterday. we have about
90% of the waypoints set. the checkpoints are placed and the
course challenges established. all that's left of the night course
is to decide where we're going to place the caches. i can't wait
to run it at night! it should be quite interesting!
we also dropped by a section of the day course to make a routing
decision. while we were there our gbes admin botanist, willybee
(who's caching signature item is a personalized packet of wildflower
seeds native to the great basin), tossed out native wildflower
seeds in select areas for your viewing pleasure.
not that you won't have much to look at. when we begin the day
rally we'll have you out in the desert in minutes and you're
going to love the views we set up for you. we'll also pass through
a section of the lahontan valley where there is a very good chance
that you'll see some of the pacific flyway waterfowl that passes
through on their way north. several variety of ducks frequent
the canals and lakes of the area. you may also see pelicans.
you'll probably see a few great blue heron, a couple species
of egrets, ibis, killdeer and avocets. the last time we traveled
this section we must have seen 50 flickers, which are related
to woodpeckers.
you'll have a lot of subjects picture taking.
# # # # #
due to popular demand, gbes admin is now considering conducting
rally school in the sacramento area. if you competed last year
and want to know what to expect this year, if you have a friend
who is thinking about running or if you know someone who thinks
the rules will keep them from having fun, this event will be
a must.
if you would attend such an event (it would be scheduled for
a saturday, around midday), please, reply to this post so we
can get an idea of how many might attend.
we really starting to get pumped on this year's rally. the courses
are going to be awsome!

- 1/24/05 - Note from the
Rally Director
Hi Rally Participants:
We are firming up arrangements for a Pancake Breakfast on Saturday
morning, May 21. The breakfast will be scheduled to take place
before the start of Saturday's rally so you won't have to eat
and drive or navigate at the same time. We are currently making
arrangements to use the parking lot where the meal will be held
as the Starting Line for Saturday. The menu includes pancakes
(well, it is a pancake breakfast), sausage and orange juice.
The price will be under $6 per person. Tickets will need to be
purchased prior to the rally so we can secure the facility. We
will keep you posted as developments are made clear.

The GBES held it's first Event Cache of the year last Saturday
in Carson City. The poor management at the Waterwheel Chinese
Restaurant didn't know what hit them. That place was packed!
Most of the event revolved around the rally. We conducted early
lessons of Rally School and eased everyone's minds about the
rules. We are going to have another Event Cache in February.
It will give all geocachers a chance to take a few lessons in
Rally School, including the ins and outs of the rally instructions;
what happens at a checkpoint; what happens during a Course Challenge;
how to hunt for a cache without using the GoTo function of your
GPS-r; what's the difference between a Standard Waypoint and
an Abstract Waypoint. We'll also answer all you questions and
ease you mind about the rules.
Watch for the event being announced soon.

- 1/13/05 - Note from the
Rally Director
Hi Rally Participant:
We're already getting great response to this year's GBES Navigational
Rally. To make sure everyone has a fun and challenging rally
experience I thought I'd give you a little something to work
on while we all wait for May to get here.
First, let me point out that a few of the rules have been changed.
Most of them are rule changes that you asked for. One change
that has not yet been made in the rules posted online is in regards
to points for the Checkpoint and Course Challenges. Instead of
being a flat score that is earned pass or fail, the points will
be issued on a sliding scale. Watch for notice of rule changes
up to the day of the rally. Since we created this thing from
nothing we are still massaging it to make sure the event is fair,
fun and fascinating. We have also attempted to make some of the
rules easier to understand. Get to know the rules. You'll have
much more fun is you know what you can and cannot do.
Get to know your GPS-receiver and what it does. If you don't
have or can't find your manual go to the manufacturer's web site
where you should be able to download one. Get to know how the
Trip Computer works. Make sure that you have it set to display
"Overall Average." During the rally, as long as you
stay on route, this will keep you on average with the Official
Rally Time. Some units will let you place the overall display
on your Map and/or Navigation Pages. During the rally you will
want to zero the Trip Computer as you begin each leg.
With the addition of Course Challenges this year's rally will
require participants to use the Route function of your receiver.
To get some practical experience with this function have the
driver of your team take a ride and set waypoints at intersections
where you need to make any turn. Make sure you get at least a
dozen waypoints. Create a Route using those waypoints and take
a ride. During the Course Challenge sections the waypoints will
be too close to each other to set another GoTo every time you
pass a waypoint.
You will notice that your GPS-r operates differently while navigating
a route, because the waypoint changes to the next one once you
get in the area it is not a good method of searching caches.
Therefore, we recommend you bring at least two GPS-receivers;
one for navigating the course and one for cache hunting. Having
a back-up is not a bad idea anyway.
If you participated in last year's rally you will remember that
the Checkpoint Challenges required the team's navigator to find
a cache, in a limited time period, without setting a GoTo on
their GPS-r. We suggest you work with your GPS-r so you are comfortable
finding waypoints in this fashion. Ask somebody to walk around
a park or other large area, drop pennies on the ground and waypoints
at those locations. Make sure they set you up with at least a
nickel's worth of waypoints. Write the waypoints down on a piece
of paper and walk until the readout on your Gps-r matches the
waypoint on the paper. Depending on the quality of satellite
reception you should be standing on one of the pennies.
This will give you a little something to practice while we all
get ready to have another great Rally Weekend in May.
As always, if you have any questions regarding the rally, the
rules or anything else, just send me an email.
Cache you later.

I think that's it for now. We'll keep you posted as updates occur,
but I suggest you check-in at the GBES Rally web site from time
to time to stay up-to-speed.
With all the storms we have received this winter, we are expecting
a very green and floral desert for this year's rally.
I'm looking forward to seeing all of you in May.
Sincerely,
Monty Wolf
