  1. Today
  2. Thanks for the patch, it fixed my problem straight away. I did have to get it through my anti-virus and Windows Defender however to run it.
  3. Tradicional no Ceará http://coord.info/GCAN6JH Pare! Não siga nessa direção! BCs!
  4. That's mostly my policy. Tracking a bunch of partially qualified challenges is a bit of a nuisance. That said there are some Challenges I will sign for geographical reasons (finding all the other nearby caches) or because I'm close to qualifying. If it's a challenge I'm unlikely to ever qualify for, such as streaks or countries, then I will skip it. Challenge requirements changed many years ago. It used to be a CO could disallow pre-signing or limit qualifying finds to those published before the Challenge. Neither restriction is allowed anymore.
  5. We are looking for some decent areas in the southern part of NH with some unique caches. Seems to be a lot of micros and nanos around and we would love to see some of the more creative caches that I know exist out there. I can't really go above a 3 for terrain and that might be pushing it. Any suggestions?
  6. I am not able to take the leadership of this category so i can not edit the description, but i will validate this waymark if you publish it
  7. I initially did this but got frustrated with the amount of effort required only to find by the time I qualified it was archived. Glad that the rules allow this, I enjoy the smiley reward. Many of these challenges are quite difficult to accomplish with lots of travel which I enjoy and part of my caching motivation. So I actively seek out any and all challenge caches that fit my caching style or obtainability. No more streaks and needs to be reasonable for me. Saw one requiring 1000 R&R, also 5 continents not achievable for me.
  8. yep long time indeed archival no problem. 14/86 of my signed challenges have been archive. Some I may never qualify for, but never say never. Though my oldest is only 7 years since signing.
  9. If that's a comment, you cannot add a photo. It's a little hard for me to tell from the image.
  10. Played. Failed on several locations but finally got ten completed - saw two codes - but no idea on how to get the souvenir based on the code. Tried both as possible trackables and both were rejected as invalid.
  11. I could not find a way to add required photos to the waymarks I just found. I guess my comment doesn't count as a visit either. I just read that. So how do I visit the waymark and post photos. The "owner of the waymarks requires one or two pictures for each waymark. I have those but can find no way to upload them on my Android phone. Seeking help. I've done it before but it has been awhile.
  12. Yesterday
  13. In that case the rules of this category really need some improvement to avoid doubts: "We are not interesting in all "coat of arms" - for example state/country coat of arms you can find on countless governmental and official building - so this kind of symbol is excluded from this category."
  14. Early in my geocaching "career" I attended at CITO event along a biking path with a "power trail" of challenge caches. Being relatively new to geocaching, and walking the bikeway picking up trash with 2 more expereinced cachers who had already signed and qualified for many of the challenges, they encouraged me to find and sign all the logs. I was hesitant, as I thought I'd NEVER qualify for most of them, so why sign them? Still, I followed their advice, and enjoyed finding all the caches and signing the logsheets as we walked along. Fast forward to today, nearly 6 years later, and I've been able to claim finds on 13 of the 31 signed logs (when I remember to go back and check with Project-GC I usually find 1 or 2 that I can now claim, or I am very close to being able to claim) . I logged a "Write Note" on the date I signed them all. I log a find on the date I figure out I qualified, but note that I signed the log on 4/21/18; the trail is well maintained but occasionally one will go missing, so I make it clear that I actually found it and signed it a few years ago. That was my introduction to challenge caches - so if there are challenges in an area we are visiting, whether we qualify or not, we sign them if we can find them. If we qualify, great, it's logged as a Find that day. If we don't qualify, we'll do a Write Note to that effect, and then log it at some later time when you do qualify. Whether the cache gets archived in the meantime doesn't factor in, unless it gets locked and you are not able to create a new log, or change your WN to a Find. (But that's another topic that's been discussed already - whether to write a new log on the date of qualification, or change your old WN to a Find log.)
  15. Wish I'd been with you guys. That said, how is it that it didn't get archived due to Stage 5 issues? Just realized I haven't seen a CEGT cache since 2017.
  16. It is unnecessary to set up an account to solve puzzles there - unless you wish to log out and resume later for some reason - but leaving a browser tab open works fine, too. Even after an account is set up, you can opt out of use of your data apart from what's necessary to fully use the site (as mentioned above, saving puzzle states, 'posting' puzzles for others to solve, etc.). I don't see anything there that would run afoul of privacy requirements.
  17. Maybe you have found yourself in such a situation. I have never found myself in such a situation because I don't search for challenge caches that I don't already qualify for. A few years back, I was with a group of cachers doing a bunch of caches around the Colo River north-west of Sydney, including a trail of challenge caches. There were some I qualified for, some I was close to qualifying and some I was well short of, but they were all in the PQ of the area I'd loaded onto my Garmin the night before and couldn't easily tell which was which while we were walking along the trail, so I just signed the log of each cache we found and left it until I got home to decide which ones got Found logs and which got WNs. Since then, I've qualified for one or two I was close to and added a Found log. There's another challenge cache GC5KEY1 that I'm slowly working towards. It requires 40 finds that are terrain 4 or higher and with the Cliifs/Falling Rocks, Scenic View and Difficult Climb attributes and so far I have 27, so it'll probably be at least some years before I qualify. The cache itself, in fairly remote mountainous country, is terrain 4.5 and has all those attributes so it's not one I'd want to attempt alone, and given I turn 70 later this year, it may well be beyond my physical abilities by the time I do qualify. So if my group of caching friends were to organise a trip out there I'd jump at the chance to join them and at least get my name in the logbook while I'm able to, and if that were to happen I'd probably then make more of an effort to find the remaining 13 caches I need.
  18. On Friday, March 29 at approximately 11:00 am (Pacific Daylight Time), we will conduct maintenance on the Geocaching Forums. Convert to your local time here. The forums will be offline for up to 2 hours. Normal service will resume after the window.
  19. Sometimes you find yourself in a situation where presigning is there to be done because you may never get back to that location Maybe you have found yourself in such a situation. I have never found myself in such a situation because I don't search for challenge caches that I don't already qualify for.
  20. I have that on my dashboard too but I haven't even gone near the geoguesser game. I expect it's just a direct link that they've provided for the duration of the promotion and will go away after it's ended.
  21. This GSAK Macro Index is the way to go.
  22. It might not help but maybe try re-discovering from the app.
  23. If you have any macros for gsak and wish to post them on GC Forum, I have made a place for you to do that.
  24. I believe if you use an incognito window you can do it all over again, and get the codes.
  25. I could have added Montenegro and Bosnia in January, was in the adjacent areas of Croatia, but finding (FTF) my girlfriend there and taking her home to Austria was more important 😂 This is a VERY late reply, but if you find yourself in the Dubrovnik area again, be aware that the border crossings for Bosnia and Montenegro can be unpredictable. I did some digging a while back, because I wanted to see if it was worth renting a car and trying it. Sometimes one can cross the border with a short delay; sometimes it takes hours. All apparently at the whim of the guards. We were on a trip with a muggle couple, so I decide to pass. Relevant tripadvisor forum thread And, congrats on the FTF!
  26. I had fun playing and got most fairly quickly. However I failed to get the code during the screens and must have written down the final code incorrectly because it fails to find a TB. When I go back via the link it shows completed but not the code. Does anybody know how to redisplay the final code?
  27. Sorry your trip fell through, though your alternate plans for Gibraltar and Morocco sound fun. If it helps, the weather in Cyprus is quite seasonable into the fall. We visited at the end of November 2019, and although it was no longer officially tourist season, it was still nice enough to be out at the beach. (Also, cats! So many cats. Apparently there are 1.1 million cats and only 1 million Cypriots, so they have plenty to spare.)
