    I guess now that the Rosenberg Trophy is in the hands of searcykid he must have put on his "hillbilly" game face.

    Congrats to searcykid on this great accomplishment. As I have said before this awesome trophy brings tears to my eyes when I look at it. Just to be present at an event where it can be seen is a great honor.

    It was great to see how excited searcykid was at be presented with this most prestigious and awesome award. He has not been that excited since I saw him spend all that money on a tie dyed t-shirt at the event in Paris last year.

    We all now have to wait in anticipation to see who we have the honor next.

    I really appreciate the honor of having been presented with this tremendous award. Maybe.
    Since I don't still understand what goes into choosing the winner I might or might not be honored depending on which criteria was used in determining who was chosen, who else was considered, and what points I received in which category.
    Yes, and I do thank Quiltingranny for all her support and campaigning for my nomination and yes if presented with the trophy I will accept. OH, I already have. Quiltingranny has been my support for 50 years now and she stands behind me all the time, but especially if I am facing a dangerous situation,,,way behind.
    This is a very special award in the Arkansas geocaching world and to realize that I am only the third person to have actually possessed it and only the second to have been honored to have been publicly presented with it makes it even more special.
    AR-HICK is that enough words?

    I just wonder now it you will be graced with an EARL OF WHITE COUNTY CACHE.
    Congrats on this accomplishment I couldn't think of anyone more worthy than the humble searcykid.

    I had the honor and pleasure of passing the Rosenberg Cache Challenge Trophy to Searcykid for his fine work in the field of Geocaching in Arkansas. You may ask why he received it.

    The judges told me too.

    Here is what I was told:

    No bribes were received because Searcykid can barely afford to pay attention.
    Searcykid has participated in many events and with help from Quiltingranny was able to find a few of them. His caching skills are far from legendary but he has cleared more thickets in White county than any other cacher. If you want some land cleared of everything except a cache put it out and he will take care of the rest. His ability to spend thousands of cache bucks on a simple tie-dyed T-shirt that you can by at a hippy shop or from the back of a van for Two dollars. Yes he may not be tall, but he comes up short in many areas when it pertains to caching.

    His recipe for deviled eggs with the following ingredients Eggs from buzzards, hillbilly mustard (Whatever that is), Possum squeezins, Rosenberg dill pickles, bear grease and helicopter oil.

    The Judges were expecting some at the 2nd C.C. Event, but the County sheriff stopped him and called the EPA and they were confiscated and hauled to the nearest biohazard treatment plant to protect the citizens of Conway County.
    At least that was Searcykid's story.

    It was a great honor for me to present him with such a fine distinction of being the 3rd cacher to receive it and I was also glad that he was speechless upon receiving it, if he had started thanking all those who had helped him it would have become the longest event in History.


    The Rosenberg Cache Challenge Judges were also impressed with his ability to make even the beauty challenged look good (see picture below).




    Enjoy it TED, you almost deserve it.

    AR-HICKS glowing post and report of my standing in the geocaching community brings tears to my eyes. It is so painful finding out the truth. Please don't hate me because I am beautiful.

    Someone said I would now be the EARL OF WHITE COUNTY but as AR-HICK has pointed out i am better known as the Bulldozer Of White County. I don't leave geo trails but the other white county cachers say it is more like a "clearCut" after I have hunted a cache. I try to leave no stone unturned while geocaching and as some have found out recently, turning over every stone is the only way to find some of the clever hides here around Searcy.

    This trophy is so valuable that it has to be protected 24 hours a day from jealous cachers who would like to take possession of it in any manner possible.

    After AR-HICK was honored with this trophy he posted on the Travel Bug Website

    Quote:

    "I have placed this valuable trophy in a very safe place to be sure that no harm will or theft from jealous cachers will occur.
    It is in a safe protected by 24 hour guards with machine guns, razor wire, landmines, fire ants, rabid ticks, nuclear powered skunks and 47 layers of protection of other unnamed devices natural and manmade."

    Unquote:

    I was able to penetrate AR-HICK'S fortified dungeon and break through the razor wire, avoid the machine gun bullets, open the safe and get away with this marvelous prize. But I was so stealthy that I was able to do this in front of a whole room full of cachers and not one understood what was happening.
    Now all I have to do is protect it from all the other jealous cachers who would like to get their hands on it until some one can earn enough brownie points to let me let down my defenses long enough for them to steal away with it.
    It was a surprise even to me that I could be so sneaky that I could come away with this beautiful trophy and get to display it in a safe place in my home until such time as I can find some one so despicable that they would deserve to have it presented to them.

    I display it now only when it is protected by armed guards. So if I can bag a Gorilla and have it stuffed and displayed I should be able to guard this prize.

    (I wanted to post a picture here but I don't know how)

    It seems like the trophy has taken up residence in Searcy. Just another achievement to add to WW9's long list of accomplishments. Congrats, Woodwalker on receiving the Rosenberg Challenge Trophy. If you need any assistance in keeping it safe, please contact AR-HICK, not us.

    Congratulations Woodwalker on your selection as the latest recipient of the coveted Rosenberg Challenge trophy. I don't know if it is an honor or what but it is a unique occurrence to be awarded this magnificent travel bug.

    But no matter how you try it is impossible to keep it safe from the multitude of cachers trying to wrestle it from you. It is too valuable to hold on to for long and I'm sure that one day the tears will come when you have to realize that someone else has met the fancy of the Rosenberg Challenge Judges and they will storm your domicile and retrieve the trophy and award it to someone else.

    My tears are still flowing.

    This is the story that the Rosenberg Challenge Judges are telling of the events in Searcy.
    The Rosenburg Cache Challenge Judges

    "Searcykid had taken the trophy hostage and would not release it back into the wild. He was claiming that it was his forever and would not let go of it.” It was almost if he had become insane while in the presence of such greatness and was it was taking away from his everyday life. Has anyone seen him since he received it?
    The judges tried to negotiate with him to no avail the best that they could do was a short email telling that it was his forever. The judges resorted to the worst tactics and hired some White County Moonshiners to take it from him. They carefully worked with Woodwalker on the timing and placement of new caches in the area to lure him out away from the trophy so they could retrieve it. This worked and no one was injured in the recovery of the prize, but the loss of life may have been high if Woodwalker had not assisted them in there task. Reports for Searcykid holding a shotgun and surrounded by a arsenal of firepower while “guarding the trophy” and they had photo of this:



    In recognition for his help with sparing the loss of life the judges decided to award Woodwalker9 the trophy for a reward of a service to them and the entire geocaching community. His many other accomplishments have also added credibility with the judges and to his standing in the geocaching community. They would not tell of what if any bribes or favors that they received for him to receive such a great honor. I hope it was on the merit of his personality and not what financial gains he could provide or jugs of a certain clear liquid served in mason jars.

    I would also like to commend Woodwalker for his help so that no one was harmed. Please keep the location TOP SECRET for everyones sake.

    After thinking that Saturday could not get any better, I was proven wrong when it was announced that I was the latest recipient of the coveted Rosenberg Challenge Trophy. This was a total surprise as I believed that I did not meet the requirements in order to have this honor bestowed upon me. Only after a clarification by the judges was I assured that I did indeed meet all that was necessary in order to receive such an honor.
    Thank you judges and a special thanks to Searcykid for taking such good care of the trophy. I may call upon him to help with security for the protection of this valuable prize. I have already contacted an Armored Car company that has agreed to escort this masterpiece to the Paris event in January and the judges are hard at work even as we speak trying to decide who the next lucky recipient will be. See you in Paris.

    The Rosenberg Trophy is coming to Paris?!?

    Now there really is pressure. It appears now along with soliciting prizes, getting contests ready, and all the other goings of for an event I now need to arrange some security.

    I do have some connections, and might be able to get a few of my law enforcement friends to help out. I also have access to some metal detectors to check the attendees for any weapons.

    I haven't seen a "Will Attend" from searcykid on the event listing yet, but it appears that the security detail will have to monitor his movements between now and then.

    I think it will all be worth it. To once again see the most AWESOME trophy in person will probably cause me to cry like a baby one more time.

    Ok, now I have to call my friends to start the security planning.
