I have had three people email me since I solved the puzzle, email: "Can you give me some help solving M15?" reply: "No." Stop emailing me!!!

Mopar that was really mean of you to put a should be archived note on my cache. I can't believe how spiteful you are. I didn't mean to stir up all this controversy. My cache is no longer by proxy because the reviewer threatened to archive it after Mopar's entry. My find on M15 was changed to a note. You people are way too serious, it is only a game. BTW, I love locationless caches and am dismayed at TPTB dragging their feet on them. Locationless give cachers worldwide a chance to play, and every log is unique and from a different perspective than your regional friends. I am locking this thread.

Why is the cache size disappearing from the upper right corner of cache pages? A puzzle cache of mine is a virtual, and I keep selecting virtual, but the listing won't show up, and when I go back to edit it again, it shows "not listed" as the selection. I know it used to be listed as a virtual on the right, and puzzle on the left. This has been happening on other cache pages too. I print out the cache page, and unless it says so in the description, I don't know whether I'm hunting for a regular or micro. IT REALLY HELPS TO KNOW!!!!!!! Can this problem be fixed?

I can't believe you guys. Geocaching is all about the fun. Puzzle caches by proxy are like a type of locationless cache. You certianly do need to visit Australia to find Radio K.A.O.S. I'm just offering this as an alternative for those of us unusual people that love puzzle caches. I certainly like finding out about different puzzle challenges and trying to solve them. This is a computer game we all play. Couldn't be done without access to a computer- period. When you find a puzzle cache, you are determining the coordinates, so it is GPS related. Doesn't anyone else like the idea?

After reading about the great puzzle cacheM15 in the forums (and being thoroughly obsessed with it until I solved it), Lowracer brought up the option of solving the cache by proxy if we lived more than 300 miles away. I think this is a great idea, and I've opened up one of my puzzle caches that is worthy of solving by proxy: The Bear is a Bear So let's hear about some other tough puzzle caches we can solve by proxy. Aren't there other puzzle cache fans that have lots of good puzzle caches on their watchlists that they have solved?

Hand made always beats mass production. Don't change your unique sticks.

If your approver is the same as mine (Hemlock), you have a great approver. I think that approver may be away this weekend (I sent an inquiry about one of my caches) but you can pretty much bet it will be done within a week. Be thankful and have patience I know you are eager to get it approved and get your first find . Its a fun game, isn't it?

I have left tracts from my church in local caches, but it is not a trade item, same as business cards or other pamphlets. I leave it because it tells people what the bible says about how to go to heaven (its a free gift) and people might want to know of a good church to visit in the area. Psalms 119:165 "Great peace have they which love thy law, and nothing shall offend them."

I think I could solve M15, if I could just figure out what that type of writing is called. I did google M15, it is a globular cluster, but I'm not sure what that has to do with the name of the cache, if anything. Edit: I don't think I gave anything away. And yes, I think it is very fair, especially since we can log it by proxy! I've got to do that on my puzzle caches, but they are way too easy compared to this one. I have seen one cache that is similar, Green Archer's Code Cache.

Millennia? The KJV was compiled in 1611 and not one word has changed. But this is getting off topic. On topic: Even though it is an old topic, there are new voices adding comments every time it gets regurgitated. However, most of the good ol boys are not ruminants.

You'll find lots of cachers do their first dozen or so without the GPSr until they get one. They stumble onto the game and want to play but don't own the device. My first ten were without GPS help. Adds to both the difficulty and the thrill of discovery, but now that I have the handheld tracker, I wouldn't go caching without it. GPS receiver, don't leave home (for caching) without it... unless you are Walden Run or Web-ling.

After printing them out, I could make out the picture one, but I could never make out more than N and W102. on the colored version of the other one. Very frustrating, I don't like them at all.

I second Riddler's comment. My son Alaric is now 21, and it seems like yesterday, or at least last year he was born. Tell your wife to use the birthing chair if your hospital has one. Makes that delivery of a 9lb 8 oz baby much easier. (Had my daughter in a different hospital without the birthing chair and it was much harder even though she was only 7 lb 6 oz.) And while we're on the subject, Alaric is a good name for a boy. (Pronounced Al ah rick) My son has always loved his name, which was after an ancestor.

Oh grow up, Woodster! You let a snake scare you off a cache hunt? You should have used the opportunity to educate your daughter and wife from a safe distance, not scared them half to death. Snakes are an integral part of the outdoors. Education, not fear.

I like Geocaching. It is a very fun sport, and I can't hunt big game year round, but I can go Geocaching every day if I choose to. I like the people I have met in the forums, online, out geocaching and at the events. The only two people I don't like I have never met, but that's because I've hunted their caches and they all suck. I like placing caches. Some people call my micros devious, but that is because I copied most of them from Team 360. My best caches are in really wild areas I have hunted. And I've found a couple of other nice places to hunt while finding caches too. (What can I say, I've got a one-track mind.) Last off, I really like the GC.com web site. When I navigate around it, I appreciate a little of what goes into it, because I know a little about creating web sites too. This site is extraordinary. GC.com is my home page on my browser. Oh, I forgot, I like our area's approver, Hemlock, too. What's not to like about this sport? Let the forum whiners run off like water on a duck's back, theres lots of good stuff in the forums to read.

Team 360 is a Geocaching FORCE within our membership. His hides are all ingenous and creative beyond compare. And what he did in creating the original cache plaque, well that is great dedication. It does bring up a problem that he doesn't log his finds. I wanted to write him a while ago, and when I went to look up geocacher by finds, he didn't have any, so I couldn't. Had to go look up the forum logs in order to get his profile. However, if Team 360 placed it and says he can maintain it, I say approve it.

Don't any of you watch VenomER? They have had two fatalities on the show that were bitten by mojave greens.

What a great cache. I'm glad I managed to cache it and meet the ambitious young man.

Okay, I'll bite- what is Norming a thread? I don't read the AS thread, it just seems so silly.

The easiest way is to go to a map of your state, start at your house, then pan along the route you plan to take, identifying the caches along the way. Read my reply here.

Doh! bonks herself on forhead! Clayjar has posted his phone# on the outside of the cache, in the pic. Nevermind.

I have had problems finding contacts for this cache. I live in Napa, but am going fishing up north at Hat Creek the end of this week. I am hoping to catch the event cache at the Berry Patch on I-5 Saturday evening in Orland Calif. I have emailed both Clayjar and The Badge and the Butterfly, asking for a contact number I can call about Clayjar's progress, but haven't received any replies. I will be at the public library in Redding on Saturday. Hopefully they have internet access. Would someone please email me an update? I don't want to miss this cache.

An attempt for HuntnLady... Thank you so much, dinohunters. I love it, just made my dress a different color- I would never hunt in blue, the deer can see it a mile away!

I still need help! I'm just no good with graphics.
