So long Brother.....RIP.....Arrow of Elliot!!

[Gerard]

Some of us had the good fortune to get to know Glen better. He was human and it would be nice to share his story, but to me there is one word that sums him up "HUMILITY", despite of, or maybe because of, his life experiences.  :thumleft:

Glen seems to be a legend, and gained all your respect. I would like to know what his "story"was that everybody mentions, and where the "I am not kak" comes from.

Please do not answer this post if it is off base or not appropriate to discuss or post on a forum. I just feel that his life could be a lesson/inspiration for a lot of people

i would also like to know his story.... agree on lesson/inspiration

I know some of it, he slept over at my place last year and we talked about his past and mine, man he had some K@K luck in the past. I trust Carrots will not mind sharing what he and I know. :thumleft:

Maybe sometimes it's best not to know.
His character was shaped by lifes events and happenings and his persona reflected all that was positive....and that's good enough for me

 

[The Wanderer]

Glen also did geocaching like a number of us do.

Does anybody know what name he used on the geocaching website?

As far as I know Heimer it was Glen.Ink

I bought him that little yellow badge when I attended the Buffalo Rally in 2009. And if you guys watched The Most Amazing Show on SABC 2 years ago you may know where the saying comes from....

Thanks, I found him: Glenink. 26 Caches...

He had 2 travel bug dog tags and one USA Geocoin in his posession which he was moving from cache to cache to log distance for the owners of the items.

These items belong to other geocachers that place them to travel accross the world. They rack their items and look at pictures. One day, even retrieve them after they have crossed the world on their mission.

It would be very accomodating if a nearby geocacher could 'grab' these and place them in caches somewhere to continue their travels.

I am quite willing, but not able (due to my location). I they are sent to me, I will make sure they are each placed in a cache.

Wanderer: Here are pictures of the trackable items if you happen to find them amongst Glen's belongings.

If you don't find them, please PM me and I will inform the owners that their trackable items are unfortunately lost.

At the bottom is a picture of the three items together when he logged them at the 'Clanville' cache

As jy dink dit behoort in sy besit te wees, bedoel jy "logged them OUT at the clanville cache" ? en hy moes dit in die toekoms weer in 'n ander cache sit.

Nie sekjer hoe die goed werk nie  :biggrin:

 

[The Wanderer]

will ask Smuggy to inform Glen mom

Jup: A trackable item is a uniquely numbered item registered to a fellow geocacher from anywhere in the world. He / she would give the item a mission and place this item in any cache in the world. You get many types, but these are often a dog-tag (numbered) which is attached to a toy ( a travelbug). Others are a numbered coin (called a geocoin) as in the picture.

Fellow cachers pick the items up and move it along - clocking up miles and helping the items towards its mission. This is what Glen was doing for the owners when he booked them into (and out) of the caches he was visiting.

Some trackable items clock up hundreds  of thousand of kilometers, moving between continents. Sometimes in a matter of only weeks. Others get stuck in caches for longer times. I read a story of fellow cachers that have travelled thousands of kilometers to a remote cache in South America to retrieve an item for its owner and move it along.

I (as example) have a dutch geocoin that I placed in the Swartberg Pass years ago and its mission is to visit mountain tops and high places all over the world.
It is presently somewhere in the UK, having clocked up over 16000 km's since I placed it in 2008

to me it is always the mark of a MAN to be able to put adversity and ill luck behind you and to not blame parents/circumstances/life for your k@k lfe but to be able to look forward and move on and improve

Reading XT Joe's post makes me think back to when I first met him. He was riding a 1980's IT 200!
