Insted of a specific holiday or season, you could make it a general holiday theme. Or you could keep it a Holloween theme year round. I've seen a few christmas theme caches year round and have enjoyed them. (BTW, great job on "mem")

I've seen them in a few of the caches I've found. I've also seen chauk used. Most people don't know about using either one, don't have enough room in their cache for it or, like in my case, just don't think about it.

Unless a GPS is equipped with an altimeter, the accuracy is going to be very poor. It could easily vary by 100ft or more. To clarify my last post: The GPSr will have an altimeter, although some may not display the elevation or the user may not know where to look for the display.

Trade Your Signature Items!
cache_us_if_you_can replied to Pipanella's topic in General geocaching topics
Well, maybe the owner of a sig item might be willing to sell one? $1 million How about some expired poultry points? I'll sell you mine for $999,999 -
The (B)rats patches are quite nice. When ever they set up a new cache around here there's always a rush to be FTF and get a patch. Not every cache they hide has one, so that's also part of the fun. I have 2 of their FTF patches, 1 rare "Brown G" patch and, lucky me, their rarest patch of all: the "Lite G" patch. One cache I went after (and never made it to) had a "certificate" with Lincoln on it.... Read about it HERE (note the first two logs )

Bold is beautiful... right? I kinda like the arrows, but the new colors hurt my eyes.

I know that our 2 GPSrs can read the elevation, but I'm not aware of either of them being able to convert units.

And I'm sure that I'd just smile and nod. -

I believe you got your answer HERE. Just a side note: I don't mind if I have to wait until a weekday to log my finds. It's not that big of a deal. TPTB are doing a great job with what they have to work with. -
Evil Is Born In Northern California

Looks like I'll have to make a trip north -
I've been known to go back to a cache a few times. I like it better when it's my own caches that has others coming back a few times... check out the log for March 23

Maybe

I followed recent threads on the "topics" forum that addressed this issue that might shed some light on the subject for you. This thread

How Do You Hide Your Buckets?
cache_us_if_you_can replied to TroutGuy78's topic in General geocaching topics
We found this Large Size Cache about a week ago. It's a very large ammo box that was painted and then hidden out of sight behind a stick. Hope this helps -
It may be better to ask this question here. Are you not getting notices of logs at all or just not being informed when there's an edit made? A new log should send a notice, an edit will not.
-
I like this idea. I've spent a lot more time researching and looking for some of these than I have looking for some regular caches.

Where Did It Come From?
cache_us_if_you_can replied to CompuCash's topic in General geocaching topics
Wow, even the mods are not trying to keep things on topic any more. The OP did not ask what people thought about the use of the term. Name calling is also a direct violation of the forum rules and regulations section on RESPECT. -
Where Did It Come From?
cache_us_if_you_can replied to CompuCash's topic in General geocaching topics
I initially was going to post that OK, to each his or her own, and I suppose perhaps that will lead me to feel "smug" when I use the term with the knowledge that it bothers a person enough to make them pointedly seek to degrade a person that chooses to use the term "muggle." Then I looked up "smug." My dictionary (Websters Third New International Unabridged) defines "smug" in the sense I interpret you as using it as: "Marked by or suggestive of belief in one's own superiority, virtue, and respectability usu. accompanied by contented resistence to change, provincial lack of vision, or deprecation of others." I decided that I would hate to use the term of feeling "smug" about a person. That is not my style. I don't mind that anyone hates the term "muggle" so I would not seek to pointedly degrade them for that. So I intend to continue to fully use the word "muggle", with the knowledge that some don't like it and that they might even be "smug" about it, but I will not feel "smug" when I use the term "muggle." I will simply use it as I always have. If others feel "smug" in their dislike, that is their choice and OK with me since I find such a reaction to be uneffective because it does not change my choice to use the word. Basically, I don't care if others feel "smug." The only effect it has on me is in my choices of how I enter into dialog with people, if I enter into dialog at all. Please keep in mind that I am staying out of the debate on the correctness of the word "muggle" etc. I have opinions on that, some that would even agree that it is not a correct use, but I basically don't care to debate that stuff since I have decided that I will happily continue use of the term. If debating the issue or feeling or acting "smug" changes other's perceptions, well that is OK too. It just doesn't affect my use of the term. Well said -
You don't. You can list multiple hidders, but only one gets "credit" for hidding it.

Where do I find it? I like being able to see how many more days of caching that I have each month and how many days I've go out or made logs.

What Do You Think On This
cache_us_if_you_can replied to 1904PirateCrew's topic in General geocaching topics
We had fun finding this cache (yes, even the wife). She enjoyed the theme and was talking about there needing to be a "woman" themed cache in our area. And I have now idea who'd leave a pen like that in a themed cache like this... *cough*Kokopeli*cough* -
Clark Kent style? And if so, 1st location style (bottom) or 2nd location style (side)?
