try to keep in mind that if you are in cold afflicted state that your idea may not be winter friendly....
-
-you've been stopped by a cop in a park
- you have fantasies about caching with people you've only met in the forums
- you cache instead of study for law school finals
- you cache after finals are over to relieve that stress
- you get really worked up over such things as 'land maintinence policies'
- you had to choose between either 4x4 or good gas mileage on a more/harder cache schedule
-you've ever searched 'geocaching' on e-bay just out of curiousity
-youre glad to have three hours between classes
-you're friends and family shop at a army surplus store for your presents
-you can, at this very moment, physically touch your gps'r from where you are sitting

Even if it means lugging a bag of cement two miles from parking to the cache site, to glue the chain down or build my own rock
i put a cache inside a birdhouse alongside a trail recently and locked it with a padlock.....someone decided they really wanted it so they destroyed the birdhouse but left the combo lock in place just a thought.....

There is nothing wrong with being a large mammal!

I was thinking the near same thing last night about listing restaurants last night but I see exactly where Divine is coming from. Next thing you know we'll all be b#@$hing about some guy who marked the walmart food court as a recommended restarurant.
p.s. Red Lobster is a seafood joint and its only edible food is its biscuits (IMHO)

(note to mufasa1023: Crime rate is acalculated as a percentage of the population. As far as that stat goes it doesnt matter if the population size of 2 states is different. The rate is usually calculated as the number per 100,000 people)
note to Mopar, lighten up it was a joke about Alaska's population not crime statistics, of which I am quite aware of how they are calculated
otherwise try taking up This

this whole situation kinda reminds me of something that I witnessed back after I graduated high school(in 1999)
I graduated and decided to do a back packing tour with a company that runs out of SF.
Anyhow, the tours are mostly european and asian students who use the tour as a cheap way to see small town America, the particular tour I went on was the national parks loop that went to all the major parks out west in 19 days.
At one of the parks (i dont remember which one now) It was sweltering hot and after a couple hours in the bus everyone wanted to get out and cool down. Where the bus had parked we were just a short walk to a natural beach that was overlooked by one of the busy park roads (very public) Without a second thought the europeans and asians went to the beach, stripped naked and began to frolic in the cool water, all of which was easily viewed from the road overlooking this beach. Us prudish american few stood at the waters edge and had to yell at everyone in the water that public nudity was illegal in America AND that they were causing a traffic jam on the road opposite.
The morals of the story: America is prude about nudity (and sex) and that naked women can cause a traffic jam.
I love America but I do wish we were more european in some ways

Edit to add: Alaska and VT have some of the lowest crime-rates in the country, much lower then many places like DC, NYC, Chicago, Canada, UK, and Japan where legal carry of firearms is virtually banned.
ya.....alaska has a low crime rate....and so does space....about the same population as well

ideally two candidates, one based within the Republic of Ireland and another within Northern Ireland (still under British jurisdiction) - but with both interacting, and treating the island of Ireland as a geographical entity.No, this is not a question of politics. Absolutely not.
sorry, I read the original post quickly and didnt catch the part about treating Ireland as a whole.....i thought it quite dubious to seperate the reviewers into north ireland and south as they are kinda disproportionate.....
-
maybe there is something deeper going on here.....maybe its an israeli/palestinian kinda thing that we americans are unable to fully comprehend?!?
if not than if they are doing a good job where is the reason for change?

If it's a sock puppet, they really were planning in advance:
Member Since: Sunday, December 02, 2001.
This is obviously a knee-jerk reaction, a very n(d)umb one.
Likewise, I'm confused.
didnt everybody start up an extra account at the beginning to use for such a purpose?

Girls are allowed in guy bars, but guys aren't allowed in girl bars. (So sexual discrimination is alive and well in the gay underworld, go figure.)
for the record thats a load of malarky as I (as a straight not narrow male) frequently attend lesbian bar's with my girlfriends and never have any problems
-
soooo.....ummmm....if someone was interested in finding one of these parks....for ummmmm RESEARCH purposes where would one look?
-
sounded like a sock puppet to me.....a very poor use of one at that
-
maybe $10000.00 for the screwdriver used on the plane.....

So does mine, except I bet it doesn't cost you £50 - $94 to fill her up!
True, but then you have mass transport and a country that'll fit into a corner of near about any state!

My local reviewer "Rusty" has always been fair, helpful, and friendly. Now the rest of those nutso reviewers I cannot speak for......

I dont mind paying 2.35 a gallon in mich because i dont drive an suv and those people need to be punished for their consumptionist ways!

but seriously its a fun low cost alternative to going out to the bar or coffee place, its healthy too!
-
geocaching is a great date idea!
'hey baby, wanna go out in the middle of the woods (where noone can hear you) with me while we look for a mysterious treasure.....'
the pepper spray doesnt really hurt all that much either

how do i find a local approver?

1. A virtual cache must be a unique physical object that can be referenced through latitude and longitude coordinates. That object should be semi-permanent to permanent. If I post the cache today, someone else should be able to find it tomorrow and the next day.
The buildings entrance can be an exact cord is that sufficient? The building is quite permanent.
A cache has to be a specific distinct GPS target - not something large like a mountain top or a park, however special those locations are.ok so its a large building but what if the object was to get your picture taken in a specific place in the building?
2. A virtual cache must be novel, of interest to other players, and have a special historic, community or geocaching quality that sets it apart from everyday subjects. Since the reward for a virtual cache is the location, the location should “WOW” the prospective finder. Signs, memorials, tombstones, statues or historical markers are among the items that are generally too common to qualify as virtual caches. Unusual landmarks or items that would be in a coffee table book are good examples. If you don't know if it is appropriate, contact your local reviewer first, or post a question to the forums about your idea.There are only 51 of these in the country, and it sure does have a wow factor.
3. There should be one or more questions about an item at a location, something seen at that location, etc., that only the visitor to that physical location will be able to answer. The questions should be difficult enough that it cannot be answered through library or web research. The use of a "certificate of achievement" or similar item is not a substitute for the find verification requirement.The childrens museum has many many questions that can be asked of it and so does the rest of the building.
An original photo posted to the cache log can be an acceptable way to verify a find, or an email to the owner with valid answers for the question or questions. In NO cases should answers be posted in the logs, even if encrypted.There are two amazing places to take a picture in this building, or as a substitute answers from the museum.
“why couldn’t a microcache or multi-cache be placed there?” Physical caches have priority, so please consider adding a micro or making the location a step in an offset or multi-stage cache with the physical cache placed in an area that is appropriate.It's a government building with security concerns. And the point of making it a virtual is to highlight it's signifigance, to make it a mere 'step' on the way to a keyholder seems to be an insult to the magnificence of the location.
Parking is free in the buildings own parking lot but it is in a downtown area that has parking meters

I personally think that GC should be free from religious interaction, as the U.S. government is SUPPOSED to be. I mean, does anyone remember what it was called when the church interacted with everything?
the dark ages.....
regardless of which religion, no matter of how virtuous or noble the cause the seperation of church and the ruling body is paramount
