  1. Looks like it was been found!! Daisey's Treats
  2. Another micro? Where is the love for micros? None. Only ignore.
  3. Why would you pat the owner on the back with a "nice hide" comment on a lame cache that clearly wasn't?? That's just encouragment...
  4. As long as the caches are maintained and meet the listing requirements, then he is allowed to place as many crappy micros he likes...welcome to micro spew. Use the ignore function. My ignore bookmark has grown larger and larger as local caches have gotten micro-hiding fever. Ed
  5. Thanks!!! Did you read the pinned thread at the top called Read First...Geocaching FAQ?
  6. Exactly...by logging a SBA, you are notifying the owner and the reviewer, so it's not going behind anyone's back. Ed
  7. Unless the geocoin was your own and for the next finder to keep or an unactivated coin, it wasn't an equal trade. Geocoins are like travel bugs...they are not trade items. Ed
  8. Just because you cannot find the cache (or refuse too), is not a legitimate reason to log an SBA on it.
  9. I believe this is possible using pocket queries, but I have never used it. The downside is you can't do it on the fly...and waiting for a PQ could take hours (if it runs at all). Ed
  10. Gsak for the desktop computer, Cachemate for your Palm...you will love it!! Ed
  11. Yes, it's called Letterboxing, which has been around for over 150 years. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letterboxing Geocaching without a GPS is similar to letterboxing, but much more challenging. With letterboxing, you have written directions to the stash (walk 200 feet to the tree shaped like a cross, continue west to the boulder that looks like a monkey's face, etc). With geocaching, all you have are the coordinates.
  12. The log, both online and the physical logbook, are places for the finder to write their thoughts about the cache, location, and the hunt. If the finder had a negative expierence, and writes about it...that's their right. Ed
  13. Insurance is the responcibility of the SELLER. As an active ebay seller, I have learned that it is the full responcibility of the seller to get merchandise to the buyer. If the buyer recieved damaged or missing items, it is the buyers responcinility to return the damaged goods and all packaging to the buyer, and sellers responcibility to file a claim to the USPS. Delivery confirmation is not the be-all/end-all that resolves sellors of responcibility. Insurance, purchased by the buyer, is the key to claims. Ed
  14. Go to www.geocaching.com Click on "My Account" (left side of the page) Click on "Update Home Coordinates" (right side of page). Enter new coordinates Click on "Mark as my home coordinates". Ed
  15. I stopped buying coins a while ago, but ordered this one tonight...well done! (for those who haven't seen it):
  16. Ps: Make sure you are downloading your pocket queries as .gpx files (they contain ALL the cache info). .loc files contain very minimal information Ed
  17. Palm pda + Gsak + Cachemate = perfect paperless caching
  18. Closest un-ignored cache is 16.4 miles (with 2 dnf logs from me btw). Closest ignored cache (a boat-required-which-I-don't-have) 9.5 miles Ed
  19. I do a combo of A and C. I do a new log but delete my older log. Why would you delete your old log?? Finding it today does not change the fact that you didn't find it yesterday. I log (and do not delete) every attempt...be it a DNF if I don't find it, or a smilie of I do. Ed
  20. One of my (newer) local reviewers had a "ringbone" moment on a local geocaching forum. Oops Not sure if anyonre esle caught it, but I did Ed
  21. Same cache as all the above, The cache is several hundred miles from the cache owner (placed on vacation, before the guidlines...it's easier to award a find than check the cache):
  22. Another find "awarded" by the cache owner (who also requires a question answered about the cache site):
  23. Cache missing? Heck, go ahead and log it as a virtual (with the owner's permission, of course...Wow! Look at those numbers!!):
