woof n lulu

Being a mother of an almost 34 yr old.... I have my cache sheets all picked out, the drinks cooling in the frig, and all the gear ready to go! Today was honey do day, tomorrow we will be caching for Mothers Day.

Yeah....and like I tell my husband when he does something to tic me off.... Just remember you have to close your eyes to sleep tonight......

I think I would tie one of these to the bike

Along the same lines, I carry a small pill bottle with baking soda in it. My husband is allergic to bee stings, and I have learned to carry Benedryl and Baking soda. Mix the soda with alittle water to make a paste and slap it on any kind of sting. Within a minute it neutrilized the acid based poison and relieves the pain. I did this also when I got bit twice on the instep by a scorpion (small) that came into the house during a storm. No swelling, and the pain was gone if a minute or two. On topic, at our age pain is there, its just a matter of intensity and duration, but the feeling of well being, and the elation of a good day geocaching, make the pain easier to deal with....so does the Guinness.

If you think we're all adults here, then you obviously haven't read this thread.

Its just a word....lighten up a little... out of all the problems you could have...this one is phhhhhhhhtttttttttt.

Its covered in the placing of a cache, but not the finding of.... Hiding Your First Geocache Step 1 - Research a cache location Geocaching is just like real estate - location, location, location! When thinking about where to place a cache, keep these things in mind: Will it be easy to get to? - If it is only a couple hundred feet from the highway, there's a strong chance someone may plunder it. Try to find a place that will take a bit of time to get to, preferably on foot. Will it be easy to find? - If it is too visible, or too close to busy roads, trails, etc. there's a good chance someone may stumble upon it. Several of the original caches were discovered this way, but the people who found it were nice enough to leave them there (or participate). But don't make it too difficult! If you hide it well, give hints on geocaching.com as to the location. Will it be on private or public land? - If you place it on private land, please ask permission before putting it there! If you place the cache on public lands you need to contact the managing agency to find out about their rules. You will be in violation of federal regulation by placing a cache in any area administered by the National Park Service (US). The National Park regulations are intended to protect the fragile environment, and historical and cultural areas found in the parks. Does it meet requirements to be listed on the site? - Make sure to review the guidelines for listing a geocache on this web site during your research.

You aren't off base...it's a good theory, but I can't see it happening.. I have never had a first to find, like you said there are a few that seem to hunt only these, and generally they don't give back to community enjoyment. Just a part of life to deal with

yeah...and I read somewheres that these were like the hot wings of the doggie world...but too many can make them sick because of the outer shell they are about to shed...

Let's play Hide and Seek!

Check out the getting started thread.......

Nice..... Jeopardize some fragile nagotiations just to have your way is not the solution.

Blaylock What you described would hardly be a 5/5 Here is a site you can use to help rate a cache. As you will see a 5/5 is in-depth planning, special equipment, serious mental or physical challenges. Clayjars rating system

If you cannot find the answer to your problem in the frequently asked question section. Try contact@Groundspeak.com and explain the problem....

Please do!....it will give a heads up to others that are looking to find that cache, and if...just if...the cache owner happens to tune in they might take either fix the problem or archive the cache

Half the fun is hiding the cache...some do it very creatively. There is no fun in being able to walk right up to a cache and Whap...there it is. It's the joy of the hunt... and you will undoubtedly find a lot more caches that are just as well hidden....it's part of the game

Seeing as today is Viking Day.... It coulda been this: HAGAR

So...say we have a new geocacher who find a nice little area, studies it, and finds there are no caches hidden there. He gathers what he needs, and places 4- 5 regular caches, all within the rules and guidelines of Geocaching.com His caches are well hidden, well maintained, and by the number of logs, and positive comments, well liked. A year goes by, and along comes another new geocacher...finds the same area, and thinks it would be a neat place for some caches, only to find out someone has already done it. They cry foul....someone has hogged all the good spots in this area, and they should not be allowed. Cache density is cache density for gosh sakes! Why demand a proven cachers' GOOD caches be pulled so someone else can place one. Solution: Find the caches, log them, and move on......This is a big country ! If at some point you see that some of the caches are archived, for whatever reason, jump at it...

Did you find the nearby marker ? Yes we did.......and this one was out in the freakin middle of nowhere...14 miles to the nearest blacktop ! It seems only a few benchmarks might have been found here, so we should have fun !

The only way you are allowed in here Smurf is your blue rack.......

YEAH !.........what she said.........
