Nearly There
With a few days to go before the official launch I will be tying up a few loose ends with a trip to Upper Wharfedale tomorrow and Thursday.
The caches are all sorted out and made quite an impression all stacked up.
The physical caches don't contain a lot but there is a lot of research behind their placement and in the artist's book that goes with the project.
The artists books won't be ready straight away so any very eager and/or successful geocachers will have to wait a little while to receive their 'prizes'. The reason for this is that I hope to use some of the experiences of the geocachers visiting my series to add another thread of content to the artist's books. As geocachers uncover the WSI series one of the few things I ask in return is to report their experiences in words and images. These experiences will start to appear here as soon as the successful start to report them.
Backing up the caches themselves and the artsist books will be a commentary about each site which I will add to this blog on a separate page. I will announce when these are added. In the meantime keep an eye on geocaching.com and the geoartcache site for the launch of the project this coming Saturday.

Project Development II
Wow! Nearly a month since my last post. With all the holidays around Easter time has flown by but my locations for caches have mostly been passed. Now it is on to the detailing of the caches and the admin involved with getting them live on geocaching.com in time for the project launch on the 28th May.
I've still got to buy the containers for the caches and add their contents before I visit Upper Wharfedale at the end of the month to hide them. Lakeland looks like a good bet with their lockable food storage containers.
Now I know the locations of the caches I can get on with designing and producing the artist's book 'prizes' for successful discovery of the series. The edition for the artist's book will be relatively modest at about 50 to 75 as a survey of the National Park geocache series in Upper Wharfedale shows a maximum visitor number of 43 to a single cache in any one year.
The geocache that I hid at the Parkinson Building in Leeds seems to have disappeared into a void and needs replacing. Hopefully it will be back in the next few days.
