For the best protection:
-Treat all clothing with a permethrin based repellent (Duranon, Permanone, Sawyer Permethrin and others)
-Treat your skin with a DEET based repellent
-Wear light colored clothing so you can see them if they hop on
-Tuck your pant legs into your socks.
I agree with briansnat 100%. Permethrin beats the heck out of Deet on your clothes. Deet is great for your skin. I use Permethrin I get from my local farm store. It is actually the stuff they use on livestock and this is the cheapest way to buy it. It is concentrated and you have to delute it with water and apply it with a spray bottle.

Another Really stupid question.
Why is it when i put my wife on the ignore list I still can't ignore her?

Garage Sales: I pay more attention to stuff at Garage Sales now, looking for that perfect cache container.
-
When I take a kid with me I always let them carry the GPSr on a few caches. Make sure they find some of the caches even when you find some of them don't let them know you have found it. Maybe guide them to find some them without letting them know you are pushing them in the right direction.

There will allways be micros. Some people like 'em some don't. Me I like all caches. You hide 'em I'll go after 'em.

I've only been enjoying my new sport/hobby a few weeks now but I think I'm ready to place my first cache.
According to the guidelines I need to get permission from the property owner or the appropriate public entity in order to place a cache.
I'd like to place a few caches in my hometown where there aren't any caches (there's only one in the entire county). There is a nice, newer hike/bike trail along the lake (operated by the Corps of Engineers).
Who do I need to speak with to get permission?
The Mayor? The City Council? The Corps of Engineers?
And for my current city of residence......
there are several nice, large city parks and a long hike/bike trail. There are already some caches placed (1 per park). Do I also need to get permission? Or since there are already caches placed around town by several different cachers, does that mean there is a blanket approval/permission? If I do need to get individual approval, how do I determine who to contact?
Thanks in advance!
If you want to place a cache in a city park there should be a "Parks Department" that you can contact. Call City Hall and ask them.

The only one I can coment on is the one I have, Garmin Venture CSX. I like it, it does everything I need it to do. Garmin Customer Support is awesome.

Caching is great in Central Missouri

Some of the magnetic containers sre smaller than a jelly bean. Don't forget to look on electrical boxes, some are painted grey and stuck to electrical boxes.
-
Excellent, that's what I figured.
That leaves another question... how do you find out who a reviewer is for a certain area?
Thanks again!
OTR
Do a search for caches in your area by zip code or whatever and see who published one near you.
-
I usually put a $5 bill or scratch off lottery tickets. Some of my micros I have not put anything in.
-
I say keep them small. I've saw small containers with a big TB, so big it would pop the top off the cantainer.
You can get some neat little key chains at a department or auto parts store. Maybe a little frog or heart or butterfly, they come with all kinds of things and they are only a buck or two.
-
I have the coords now. Thanks to all that replied.
-
On a related note, could someone please post the cache container type, camo method and hiding spot for CCC Cache? It is fairly evil and some folks are having difficulty finding it quickly. Thanks.
Sure I can. Dang I figured any geocacher with any expierence at all could figured this one out. I guess some of them are just not "Smarter than a fifth grader" It's a match container (you can get them from WalMart sports department) I glued a knot that I cut from another tree to the lid of the container this fits down in a knot on another tree that has just the right size hole in the middle of it. Looks like the knot on the container grew on the tree. If you need pictures I can sent you some.

I need the coords in this Morse Code. There is no way I can figure it out. If I can't get help I will just have to pass on this one. Could someone email me the coords in this code here http://www.garybraman.com/geocaching/sounds/morse.mid
If you think this is not fair, or is too tacky then I'll just not do it....Thanks

I don't care much either way. They don't exite me much but they don't bother me either.
Like briansnat said though, if I found a lot of them they would get old pretty fast.
-
I had the same problem trying to glue an earth magnet to the top of a preform container. Then I tried using Gorilla Glue. It works just fine and I havn't had a problem with it.

It does not have to be open season for people to want to go shooting.
Many a kid spends the weekend plinking.
If there is any doubt in YOUR mind as to the safety in an area...
By all means wear some orange!
Or any bright color that in not natural.
Brite blue is good, Hot Pink...
Bright blue is not a good color during Turkey Season. A Wild Turkey Gobbler head is bright blue and the head is where the hunter will aim when they shoot a wild turkey.
-
I just have a little over 200 finds but I always (yes always) read the hints before I set out to find a cache.
I just got used to it when I first started and havn't changed.
-
Should 66-year-olds give up geocaching?
I hope not, if that was the case I would only have one more year of caching because I'm 65 now.
We've been caching a year now with no serious injuries. Looking forward to several more years of caching.

Age?
in How do I...?
Bunch of young whipper-snappers ain't you.
I'm 65

Naw it wouldn't be an April Fools Joke, would it?
-

Yes you need to read the guidlines.

Evening,
How can I add pictures in my gallery?
ShelbyClimber...
You can't just add pictures to your "My Gallery"
You can add pictures to any of your logs and they will automaticly show up in your "My Gallery"
Profile?
