    Are we Geocaching snobs ?

    in General geocaching topics

    Posted

    I wouldn't say you are a snob, but choosy, as others had said. I have often had high expectations of a cache, only to get there and do more CITO than caching - sometimes recording a DNF for the cache. hikers say "hike yourenjoy own hike", and I think caching is the same way. Look for what you want to look for, and enjoy the game. I tend to remember the drive to the cache, the scenery, etc. For every boring cache I've found, I can think of 5 that have given me some good memories, stories, and sometimes scars.

    Vehicle TB questions

    I have a TB on my vehicle; I wanted to show it as being "taken" to a chace so I could get some mileage, but I dont have the option. I have tried to move it to inventory,and to keep it in my collection> How do I "take" it and get the mileage?

    New earthcache possibility?

    I want to place an EC, as they are my favorite type of cache to find. I am also very much a student of weather, particularly severe weather. I want to buildn an EC around the Tri-State tornado of 1925, and the damage it caused. would be a great educational opportunity. Meteorology is an earth science, so would this type of cache work as an EC?

    Clever cache hiding techniques (NOT containers) ?

    I have found a few that used lines in trees...one in the same woods I deer hunt in, and still took me three trips and a PAF to find. Another looked like a squirrel sitting on a branch - took forever to locate the 550 cord to lower the cache, but was very cool.

     

    The best was a two litre bottle sewn into a stuffed animal (skunk). Have scars from running from the cache in fear of getting sprayed.

    I hope I'm not lost

    If you're taking the kids, take some water or other drinks for them. Don't forget the camera as well! :anicute: When I first started taking my daughter, I found several good photo ops to have pics with her. Most of all, have fun.

    :P OH MY GOSH! This coin is soooo cool. I have been pokeing around looking for a first coin to buy. I love these. They are amazing! Too bad they can only be found on ebay now :) .. I would love to give credit (money wise) to the creator. But I really want it! <_<

     

    Blue and Red are back for a little while in the store. Here are the direct links:

    Nickel Blue

     

    Just purchased one of each, blue and red. Great looking coins for my first purchase. In fact, these coins made me want to start collecting GC (the proper way!). :)

    so when do YOU post a "DNF"?

    in How do I...?

    I'll post a DNF if I looked, and wasn't successful. I always ask tose looking for my caches to post one so I can at lest check on it. At the very least, I can help newbies find one using a PAF, and possibly get the favor returned later on!

    I think DNFs are part of geocaching, so I'll post one if I can't find the cache I'm looking for. It's good for laughs at the next event at any rate (trust me, I've been laughed at a few times. Well, chuckled at anyway).

    Finding Cachers in your area

    in General geocaching topics

    Short of posting a message on the Midwest Area board, how could I find cachers in my area? We have a lot of new cachers (12+, probably college kids) here recently, and thoughts of a club or group are forming. Am I making this more complicated than I need to? :laughing:

     

    Many of these new cachers are getting DNFs on alot of our caches due to the uniqueness of the caches, and I hate to see them get frustrated this early. We could help with that as well in a group.

     

    Thanks!
