You are quite welcome, Claire. Happy you like everything. You know why I chose that card and everything else was chosen just for you!!! The Blue Turtle was done by Avroair for the Group Project for Geocoinfest 2023 in Daytona Beach, FL. When I saw that plate number, I had to get it for you. The three numbers in a row is supposed to be good luck. I love that you put the Cheerios in the photo!!!

I sure hope so. The Halloween Ghosts need time to change into their Ghosts of Christmas Past costumes!!!

Only 2 left, this Mission might be over before the Christmas one starts

I received a nice package from GeoCharmer81. I really like the cute card and the two gorgeous coins. I like the colors on the turtle, you have good taste. The Rainbow Bridge one fits very well with the German Shepherd ornament I am a big fan of Olaf so, the keyring makes me very happy. For those who might wonder why there is a licence plate included, it's because I try to get as many plates as possible for my grand-daughter who just started a collection. I'll wrap it for Christmas and give it to her then Why the Cheerios? If someone asks, I'll tell you the story behind it Thanks Kelly for the gifts and for hosting this Event!!!

There doesn't appear to be anything special about the caches in the list. Guess to work around this, I need to create a new list every time, and only download information as the last thing I do before heading out. Hopefully I don't forget.

There's a good chance that it is this cache, which was just archived 5 days ago. The owner of that cache is AniIng.

Having a high Gb data SIM is handy because I have been tethering my phone to my MS Surface. Much cheaper than ship internet.

So far, this trip, I have added Greece, Montenegro, Croatia and Slovenia. Albania is the next one to grab then that will be all for this trip.

I like Everyting you wrote. good post

Moved to the Wherigo forum

Hallo! Ich gestalte mit Urwigos meine WIGs und bisher konnte ich auch immer am PC einen Test durchlaufen lassen. Leider bekomme ich jetzt diese Fehlermeldung. Hat einer einen Tipp, was ich tun muss, damit es wieder funktioniert? 1000 Dank im Voraus!

I have a one page google site that I link to on my Wherigo caches that helps newer cachers set up their smart phone for Wherigo caches. Wherigo Set Up The whereyougo app works well for me on my Samsung S24, which I set up in 2023. Previously it worked equally well on my LG. If you follow the steps outlined, you should be able to download cartridges direct from the cache page into the app, without having to move files around, etc. I also helped someone in the field with setting up their andriod this past month, so I know it was working very recently. In case you don't like clicking on links, I've pasted the Android section below: Android: Depending on the age of the phone they set up may vary slightly from the outline below. Login (or authenticate) using your regular geocaching account details in your browser on the Wherigo.com website. In the Whereyougo app settings, update the login credentials to your geocaching account name and password. Lastly, navigate to your phone settings > app management (apps) > Whereyougo > Set as default > a) Open supported links: Set to 'in this app', or toggle to activate. b) Supported web addresses: toggle to activate

Please have in mind that you're not the world's center. Other people might prefer another kind of enjoyment.

A package was waiting for me in my mailbox when we came back home from a short trip to New-Hampshire GeoCharmer81, you really spoiled me. All kind of cool stuff Will post a picture tomorrow

Thanks for your interest. I don't know of any trackable that are older because I haven't put any more effort into the search. There are probably some, but not many. I have the opinion that trackables released in the present day have little chance of surviving as many as 20 years because the nature of the geocaching public has changed over the years, something I attribute to the release of the free geocacaching app. While the number of cachers may have increased, the percentage conscientious cachers has declined, many just disregard conventional behavior because there are no consequences.

It's funny that there are older ones than the "SuperSpy" and the "LongRanger", which are still old. Let me know if you know of any who are even older. Or maybe TB didn't exist at that time? I'm still a beginner in all these areas. Thank you

The API allows searching by publish date range. I suspect there is in fact a field. https://api.Groundspeak.com/documentation#query-filters, publishedDate.

The title of a cache does make a difference for me. I won't even look at a cache page that has a title that goes something like "Power Trail #38" or "Disney Character- Mickey". Some titles are somewhat vague and that's fine since they usually perk my interest enough to see what they might actually entail. A cache with a good description, maybe a brief summary of the area's history, not too long or detailed, is usually a cache that has more thought put into it and a cache I think I will enjoy finding. Caches with descriptions giving the impression of a potential challenge, maybe the container is hidden well or there's a more difficult terrain, always grab my attention as well. Of course the title is the starting point, I still want to dig in for some of the other important stuff like container size and difficulty ratings.

If someone dnfs my cache and requests a hint, I will generally provide one and on occasion ask if they want some help even if they do not ask for it, especially if they are a newbie, or the find is particularly difficult. If I find a cache is particularly interesting but results in a dnf for me, I will ask for a location hint and return. If not, I just dnf and move on. If I'm one of a series of multiple dnfs I'm likely to request the CO check the cache by posting an NM or attention required log and explaining why I think so ("Multiple consecutive dnfs, no indication of any CO maintenance, last find two years ago...") My perspective on hints varies based on the distance traveled and effort required to find the cache as well as the size and nature of the hide. For my own caches, if I don't believe a hint is required I will post [none needed]. By posting in brackets you can seen the hint (well, the non-hint) at a glance. Alternatively I might post [see the galley] or [review entire cache page] when that contains information relevant to the solution. I see the sole purpose of the hint is to help you narrow the search area once you are at GZ so it should be a "location hint". A hint such as "rock" or "tree" in a rock pile or forest is not a hint. Hints which give general information ('classic hide" = on the ground; "eye high" , etc can be helpful). Since I place a lot of multis which require consecutive finds to reach the final I often use stage names which describe the location (stump, hollow, fallen, evergreen for trees for instance) and the idea is to hint at the location. For hunting caches, I expect the difficulty rating of the cache to be accurate, and the higher the d rating, the less useful the hint will be and I accept that. On the other hand, for the typical roadside 1.5/1.5 rated nano unless there is a hint, I won't typically bother as I don't have the patience to search a 30 foot radius for a button sized object. For a six stage multi requiring a two mile walk I make the hint fairly explicit and expect the same. None of this applies to caches which are designed and described as "evil" however as d4 and d5 caches are not designed to be found, so... edexter

I find not just the title but the entire cache page can often be an indication of the overall quality of the cache. If the CO has obviously spent time on the appearance and content of the cache page, it can be an indication of similar effort in placing and maintaining the cache. The opposite is even more likely to be the case. edexter

The question is not which ones have them or not but rather why some on the country list get them and others don't. Is there another list like the UN list that defines souvenirs?
