  1. I don't think this works. Then the mapping service used would need to have bus stops for your specific country, and not only marked on the map but they'd need to be present as a feature that interacts with you.
  2. 1. how did you get into geocaching? Read about it and thought it sounded interesting. 2. why do you do geocaching? To get out and somewhere. Also, I move internationally a lot and it's nice for discovering my new neighbourhood/area/country and to get to know people. Ok, is a bit more complicated with covid. Also love EarthCaches. While many are a bit s***ty they still bring me to interesting geological phenomena. 3. what made you want to continue on geocaching? See 2, and to work on certain challenges that I chose for myself, like caching in as many countries as possible or do other geographical challenges.
  3. Oh no?!? What? Where? That's way outside my caching zone
  4. Ugh, my Germany geomap still looks very incomplete. I've just booked two nights on this island with the arrow to cycle around (70km) and mop up some EarthCaches there. And if the whole planning kind of works I'll be able to add another 'county' to SE Denmark as well. Babysteps...
  5. I kind of disagree as googling answers goes against EarthCache guidelines. Likewise writing down words from an infosign. However, this is an older cache and the logging requirements likely grandfathered. CO should have worked with the reviewer to fix his cache or archive it. Deleting the log is rubbish, but in the end the cacher didn't really find it either. So... not sure.
  6. I just noticed kind of the same: Logged caches don't show up as found on the list, and hence I can't filter on them. They do show up at the top (here 4/13) but that's all. If I try to filter on 'found' to delete them I get the message there aren't any, and that I could go to the map to add caches to the list. Btw, red tick marks: caches I've logged.
  7. Or you could rename it. There's this folk folklore story that slug slime helps against warts.
  8. Find a new place that is not a slug home? This location in a tree looks like it's generally moist, thus a slug home. Don't do anything about the slugs, but about the cache.
  9. Thanks a lot.I couldn't be bothered to find a checker for this Yes, maybe we need at the Giga. I'll only be there on Saturday though.
  10. Cool! I don't know where I am in that respect. I try to get many types per country, but often it just doesn't work out. I could have gotten a multi and letterbox in Bucharest, but for some reason I forgot to make a little detour for a planned letterbox and went straight into the metro for an EC, and the multies were trolling me. Solve one: final coords far, far away. Start on... oh wait, translation makes no sense. Try another one: nope, also can't make sense of translation. Ok, lets do this one then: ugh, first station answer seems to have changed. etc... So yeah, planned is the Giga in Prague, and I might beat my previous highest types in a day there (or not). And then Serbia, followed by Mongenegro. And in the meantime I'll see what I can do with the German county/federal country map.
  11. Nearly. I visited Boston on business quite a few years ago.
  12. Yep, premium membership Project GC. Mine looks a bit.. different (note, one eastcoast county is so tiny you can't see it)
  13. Oh come on! Sure I could complain that I spent a lot of money traveling to the 54 countries I've cached in. I, you (ok, for the sake of it as I know you don't have many caches around: everyone) could cache in their local area for free. Interacting with a business is against the placement guidelines, and as the cache description didn't mention this it seems pretty clear that the CO was rather aware of it and avoided writing about this little fact.
  14. I had a wee look at what's still missing in Europe for me Andorra Belarus Bosnia and Herzegovina Bulgaria Estonia Gibraltar Greenland Hungary Isle of Man Jersey Macedonia Monaco Montenegro Russia San Marino Sark Serbia Slovenia Switzerland Ukraine With a bit of luck Serbia and Montenegro will still happen this year. I'm a bit annoying in that respect, but I only find a cache in a country if I'm really there for the country. So based on that I need to visit Sweden again as I picked one up years ago while setting foot on land for a few minutes. Bosnia & Herzegovina might happen if I manage to spend a day in Mostar from Montenegro. Three countries are big nopes for conflicts at the moment. Sark, Jersey and Isle of Man are a nightmare to get to for non-UK residents (and UK is still plague island), Greenland super expensive. The rest should be possible one way or another with some creative traveling to keep costs and travel duration down.
  15. Cool! These are all places I'll likely never get to apart from UAE and maybe Hong Kong.
  16. How difficult (or easy) is it from AUS to fly to any of those small or big island nations that are far too far for us Europeans? Indonesia isn't that far from the north. All those places short before the end of the world east of Australia?
  17. I've just returned from an ad-hoc trip to Bucharest. What a fascinating town, especially for people who like to see buildings and town 'design', and who like to eat good food. I totally loved it.
  18. Message center doesn't load further than this below, and I've seen this intermittently since the weekend. Also, the forum looks rather bland as if something's missing. Firefox (up to date), win10 notebook. This message center error appears regardless of choosing to click on the message center button, or on wanting to send a cacher a message via a cache page.
  19. I find this one quite funny: Overall I like country and county stats most interesting.
  20. Third attempt Montenegro after having to cancel such trip in the previous two years. From the end of August, thus a lot can happen until then. So lets see if it does work this time. And I'm looking for a short trip in mid March or early April as I have to use vacation days left over from last year.
  21. I got three new ones, all islands: Maldives, Faroe and Sri Lanka.
  22. No, I know what you mean. I always try to get as many types as possible as well. Republic of Ireland might hold the record for me. On a day. That was one crazy trip. So far I have no plans for this year. Mentenegro is still on my wishlist, but I've tried getting there the past two years already, and always failed due to Covid regulations.
  23. It would certainly require visiting an awful lot of Mormon monuments.
  24. Hmm.. not sure this is a good idea for a souvenir name as it refers to gambling and might not be that family friendly. And I don't see how a two wildcard has anything to do with this *hides behind sofa*
  25. And now it's not working for me.
