Hey all, it seems that we (I) made a clerical error and the SF and Phoenix drops were swapped at some point. If you have been struggling to find a board that should have been there, I am terribly sorry for the mistake. The list in the OP has been updated to reflect this.
This does mean that drops which were thought to be taken and crossed off are actually available to be claimed - please check the list above for current status.

Phoenix 1 sure seemed to not be there. Briefly stopped at the trailhead where the coordinates are and looked around but didn't find anything. There are no parking signs and a construction project further up the trail, so just left after walking around the area for a few minutes. The public trails are accessible to foot traffic, but the road to the trailhead is gated off. The parking lot where the coordinates lead also has no parking signs everywhere. It's a tough spot because if you deviate too far from the trailhead you're likely to end up in someone's backyard, too.

There was a mistake made at some point during our tracking and updating of the caches. I think this was my fault, and I'm really sorry for all the trouble and hassle it caused you and any others. :( The silver lining is that I think the other Phoenix and SF drops are is still there, if you're feeling daring enough to give them a shot.

HoffmanMysterUnfortunately the other drop is just too far. I was surprised to see the drop in the east valley still unclaimed when I finished work for the day, so ran over there. That one is only about 15 minutes from my part of the valley. The one over on the west side is about a 30 minute drive with traffic now that I'm home. Someone else will get it.

We're at the SF#1 coords, but don't see anything. Claimed or am I not looking hard enough? Not sure how precise the coords are!

Gineton2It looks like they screwed up and marked the wrong coordinates as claimed for SF and Phoenix. I refreshed after pointing out that 1 seemed gone in Phoenix and the claimed geocaches for both cities were swapped.

Huge shout out to @storyboardtech for managing to leave the two Chicago caches at the actual desk Tolkien used to write his classic books.

Will the LotR designs ever make it onto Cherry profile keycaps? I can't help but imagine Drop would sell so much more of them if they were.

Drop rainy75 Shipping to Australia
I have filled out the payment and contact form for the WOBKEY Rainy75 Mechanical Keyboard and typed in my correct address but when click "continue to shipping", it comes up with "Your order cannot be shipped to the selected address. Review your address to ensure it's correct and try again, or select a different address." If anyone knows whether it can be shipped to Australia or how to solve this issue, it would be greatly appreciated.

Work around for firmware/configuration update error "command not recognized"
I spent more than an hour attempting to update my Drop Shift keyboard. I'm not sure what has changed, but I was not able to do it entirely from the Drop website as I had previously done. I have most of the keys configured how I would like, but the default LED function was a very bright, distracting, rainbow wave going across the keyboard. Every time I turned the computer on I had to manually adjust the lights how I liked. Using the online version or the locally installed app, you first have to install the QMK XAP interface. You then have to flash your already configured firmware file, which can be done on the Drop website. If you are logged in your last configuration is saved under your account and you can alter what you like, so you don't have to start from scratch. So, following the instructions I selected the appropriate board, entered bootloader mode, but when attempting to flash the file, I would get an error that the C:/Users/Mike C..... command is not recognized...

Drop Keyboard Club Questions
Hello everyone! I'm looking to join DKC, but I have a few questions. The first day of November has already passed. Will I still get the coupon for November immediately after signing up today (Nov. 10)? What is the definition of Mechanical Keyboard products? Will the coupon apply to desk mats? I believe it should apply to everything listed under this category? For orders under $79, the coupon will be converted to a percentage discount. Will the percentage discount apply to all mechanical keyboard items in an entire order, or it can only be applied to a single mechanical keyboard item in the order? Thanks in advance!
