+HitsMan and Chris Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 We're soliciting nominations for the 1st annual "Best of Los Angeles" geocaches (2003). The purpose of the BoLA program is to recognize the geocachers who brought us some really great caches over the past year. Think of it like the Oscars for Los Angeles area geocaching. Nominations are open to any geocaches that meet the guidelines below. Here are the guidelines: Caches must have been placed within the calendar year (Jan. 1, 2003 to Dec. 31, 2003). Caches must be located within 60 miles of downtown Los Angeles (N 34.05222, W 118.24278). Caches must be active at the time of the nomination. You must have logged a visit to a cache in order to nominate it. Nominate as many caches as you like, including ones that have already been nominated. Caches must be nominated by at least two geocachers to be eligible for the final "Best of" ballot. No self-nominations (cachers may not nominate caches they placed). If a cache is nominated in more than 2 categories, the cache will be eligible only in the 2 categories for which it receives the most nominations. Nominations are open until the end of the year. Final voting will happen in January. All cachers who submit at least one nomination will be eligible to vote among the final nominees. All participation is optional. Any competition must be kept friendly and positive. To nominate your own favorites, simply review your logs (http://www.geocaching.com/my/default.asp?alllogs=y) and provide with the following information for each cache you'd like to nominate: Cache name and/or waypoint Category or categories for which you'd like to nominate the cache Please check the date placed to make sure it meets the guidelines above. You can submit nominations via email at hitsman@yahoo.com or through this form: http://www.doghike.org/bola/ Here are the categories and nominees so far: Most Scenic Cache 360 Degree View/Jozai /GCH1Y8 Rocket View Cache/TSchaal /GCGECC Brand Library Library Cache/Jason Torrey-Payne and Tom Waldrip /GCE187 Hollywood Views/W6LAX/GCGR4G Most Challenging Cache Edendale in the Golden Age of Silent Film/DeadReckoner /GCGX16 Ali’s Cannon Park Cache/Ali, Thom (Parrot Head) & Bud Ugly/GCCCE4 Cigam at the Far End of the Spectrum/cigam_mai/GCE8CD Cigam Has A Better Idea /cigam_mai /GCG84A Made you LOOK /ScurvyDog /GCGPP3 RATZZZ......... /Team Dakiba /GCGRQ1 Up we go... /sr.hikers /GCG461 Career Opportunity Field Agent /OtisPug /GCGH18 Best Themed Cache Newport Coasters /The Duckies/ GCEB60 PIN EXCHANGE /sr.hikers /GCGJFQ Pressed Penny Cache /Sarah! /GCH4K9 Poetry Cache /Jill and Jeff/GCC70F Freeway Fastlane Penny Trader /DeadReckoner/GCG95Y Best Hard Terrain Cache (Terrain Rating>=2.5) Orchard Camp Cache 2 - The Meadow /Bud Ugly & Parrot Head /GCEB20 Brand Library Library Cache /Jason Torrey-Payne and Tom Waldrip /GCE187 Strange Fruit /ucspots/GCCB9F The Chamber of Secrets /The Edenites /GCGF2R Best Cache that Got to You a Great Place You'd Never Been Up we go... /sr.hikers /GCG461 Valley Flyers /W6LAX /GCGT0D Orchard Camp Cache 2 - The Meadow /Bud Ugly & Parrot Head /GCEB20 Strawberry Peak /moosecow /GCCBA3 Strange Fruit /ucspots/GCCB9F The Enchanted Wedding Chair /CAKoala/GCH53P Hollywood Views /W6LAX/GCGR4G Rick's Rocks /Drew, Rick, James, Steve, and Jay/GCG7N2 SJC Eagle Loop Trail /^Martin^/GCBC78 Best Educational Cache Edendale in the Golden Age of Silent Film/DeadReckoner /GCGX16 California 9-11 /Brainerd /GCGNCF Helms Bakery/EMC of Northridge, CA /GCGKVV Geo-Stationery Cache /DeadReckoner/GCGCNZ Only on Sunday/stantastic and Merry Merry/GCGCPQ Best Camouflaged Cache Cigam at the Far End of the Spectrum /cigam_mai/GCE8CD Rabbit on Drugs /Morty's Twisted World /GCF6E9 RATZZZ......…/Team Dakiba /GCGRQ1 ScurvyDog's Got Rabies/ScurvyDog /GCGBGQ Shop and Cache 2/Team Dakiba /GCD1AF Sixth Wave/EMC of Northridge, CA /GCGXM4 Sticky Monkey /Morty's Twisted World /GCEC6D We Are Family /Cache Collectors /GCG8QB The Lawn Chair Cache /SpeleoCat/GCG10Q Those Screwy Surfers by Team NOB/Team NOB/GCG0Q6 I Meant to Stump You/MobilDave/GCGN0F Most Innovative Cache Edendale in the Golden Age of Silent Film/DeadReckoner /GCGX16 Great Stories of Science Fiction /Brainerd /GCGD01 The Old Sunkist Plant/Side Show Bob /GCG2BR ScurvyDog's Got Rabies/ScurvyDog /GCGBGQ Geo-Stationery Cache /DeadReckoner/GCGCNZ Funniest Cache Boring, But Funny/MobilDave, LuckyEm and the Reece Man /GCGJHQ Holey Hippo/Hopscotch /GCGKBH Our Country's Colors/Scurvydog /GCEEB9 Sticky Monkey /Morty's Twisted World /GCEC6D Best Los Angeles Showcase (Cache for Tourists) Walk of Fame/Dru Morgan /GCDD22 Hollywood Views /W6LAX/GCGR4G Huntington's Ark /Mannings/GCG2T3 Most Visited Cache Best Home for Travel Bugs ONT Travel Bug Ground Control/Crims0ngh0st & AcjLady /GCG201 Travel Bug Terminal/John & Donna /GCC341 Dancing with a Barefoot Geek /Team Dakiba/GCH67Z Best Traditional Cache (Regular size) Orchard Camp Cache 2 - The Meadow /Bud Ugly & Parrot Head /GCEB20 Hollywood Views /W6LAX/GCGR4G The Chamber of Secrets /The Edenites /GCGF2R Dancing with a Barefoot Geek /Team Dakiba/GCH67Z Trail Builders Tribute /CAKoala/GCH6WK The Enchanted Wedding Chair /CAKoala/GCH53P Best Traditional Cache (Micro size) Rabbit on Drugs/Morty's Twisted World /GCF6E9 A Walk on the Wayside /LarsThorwald/GCCF0E Freeway Fastlane Penny Trader /DeadReckoner/GCG95Y San Gabriel Peak Micro /mph6563/GCEF4A Pepper Cone /Team Dakiba /GCGGF1 Best Virtual Cache Pushing Tin LAX/IFISHAZ /GCGDTF Mt.

+Big_Stooge Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 It's too late for nominations, but I would vote a new category of the "DaVinci Award" for most ingenius cache for anything by Otis Pug. His caches are now all archived, but his contribution to the sport is unmatched, as are his brilliant and inspired caches. Let's start a drive to draft him back into the hiding business!
