I think it is interesting that the Waymarking site has awards... I don't mind your idea. There is so much competition already though. Few want to stop and smell the flowers.

Thank you for thinking outside of the box. We love caches like this. I hope you can make it work!

<----------- newbie. What's v3 and what does it do? Today I went to look for mark KY1740. KY1740 STATION RECOVERY (2006) KY1740 KY1740'RECOVERY NOTE BY US POWER SQUADRON 2006 KY1740'M179 HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH A SUMMIT COUNTY ENGINEER MARKER IN THE KY1740'SAME LOCATION WHEN THE BRIDGE WAS REBUILT. It was indeed replaced as reported. As it is scaled and the bridge abutment is new how would you know if this is in the same location? Do I mark this disk destroyed on the geocaching site, mark with a note that it has been replaced, or mark as a find noting the change? Or... It doesn't really matter!? This is addicting. I went out today and was so wishing I could find my metal detector!

I love putting out micros. Our micros are different though. Usually custom made and we try to be tricky. We shoot for DNF's although we have yet to come up with a D4 per clayjar. I like to try to challenge you. Or make you laugh. Or curse. Or both.

We would love a large container! We would put it out if we had a place. I'm not a fan of just putting one anywhere. We've got a lot of containers and no where to put them... My intended cache is nothing more than a traditional at the listed coordinates with a logging requirement. If you're in it for the cache, have at it. If you want to earn the smiley then you must meet the requirements. I'm not too much of a fan because I don't like the idea of having to delete logs but I do like the idea of a challenge. The one I am contemplating is a benchmark challenge. I have started to search for them and waymark some of them and I find the search strangely very enjoyable. Looking for something hidden with clues, a tape measure and a shovel interests me. Especially if it hasn't been reported found in a long time. (20+ years or more.) It's not anything new and has been done before. I thought of adding a twist and making it a point system. Get X amount of points to log and have point values for each activity. Re: GeoGeeBee I do like the idea of a full size log book. I think the days of the intended log book requirements have passed. Now it has reverted to simply signing your name instead of telling of your search/fun.

Maybe just a radio button that says you would recommend this cache. If not that then [optional] multiple ratings that would fit multiple styles. Few use GC Vote.

Have to stay home and watch granny. On the bright side on Monday I get to go the the Cleveland Indians home opener and I have a 1 in 20 shot at winning a new car. I just hope I get the right key...

You're not the only one. This micro would not be a film can tossed somewhere. It would be in a decent location. Maybe a small tobacco tin, magnetic match container, or small lock & lock. Don't worry about the container type. We keep all of our caches dry! (At least the ones that need to be!) By the way- I am sick of finding micros that are listed as small caches! (Just because it can take trade items does not mean it is a small!)

Knight2000 background... Of our caches placed we usually have the largest size possible for a location. A minimum of 10 smalls and 10 regulars. All of our micros are atypical. None are what seems the standard micro key holder or film can. As we have kids we tend to place caches that we would like. Onward to the discussion. I have some challenge caches rolling around in my head. (Logging requirement caches.) I would like to put out decent sizes but we have yet to bring ourselves to tossing a small into a bush at the local drug store or whatever. I can't really seem to think of any places to put a regular or small at this time. I assume that those who will meet the requirements will be, as I say, "In it for the cache". Is a micro acceptable for this? Not a film can or key holder but a still a micro. Would the size of the cache affect whether you may or may not try to attain the requirements to log this cache? Thanks for your input.

I'm wondering about the new Magellan. I like their units but I hated their CS. If ownership has changed it makes me wonder. I have an Oregon 400t and I just don't really care for it. It's adequate. I thought it would be awesome but I am a tad disappointed. I find myself often using my old Magellan Meridians instead. For $200 that new Maggie looks tasty.

Good for you. I like your style. If a hide is good enough to be on a playground and not be muggled than it should be there. That's cool. I have no aversion to playground hides. Better to have one than no hide at all.

That unit is adequate. You just need to learn how to use it. Save the .loc file on your computer somewhere. Then you need to convert it to the form your unit can read. Convert it via EasyGPS or many other pieces of software. (GSAK works great.) Then you need to transfer the new file to your unit via USB or SD card.

You cannot load geocaches from the geocaching site directly onto your unit. You can download the .loc file from the geocache pages and put them into your unit via EasyGPS. This will only give you the geocache coordinates. There are ways to put many more in your unit too.

We enjoyed this atypical cache and the place that it brought us to.

I would. You wouldn't soon forget my cache would you?

Last week someone was struck and killed in this area while trying to cross from one rest stop to the other. What do you think is the first thing I thought of?

I also got an Oregon for Wherigo. Wherigo is overrated.

What's wrong with you? Caches are so much fun at night! Not always. A few weeks ago I went out at 4am when it was windy and 35°F. It sucked.

Permanently encrypt them. Once I mentioned about a cache I found that was buried. The owner didn't like it so they encrypted my log. It kind of burnt my britches at the time. Maybe they'll get the point. Maybe not. Maybe you'll feel better.

It seems like you would get more mistakes by having the "Yes, this cache is currently active" checked by default. Maybe you could just have a GC Code request button.

2007- Magellan Meridian Gold. We wanted to try caching and it was on clearance at Walmart. (Also because it hooked up to computer to upload waypoints.)

Stupid hamsters.

When we first discovered geocaching we bought a GPSr and printed papers and ran out to find some treasure! Our first treasure? A film can. We didn't know either. You're not the only one!
