Congratulations tadpole379! What a great story. I'm hoping that if the fairy flies anywhere near here it will be closer but I doubt it.
But then again you never know
This is way too much fun! -
We came across a mystery cache exactly like that in Oklahoma so I would chance a guess and say they would. I like the idea and may even do one around here.
-
We try to move any TB's we have within a couple weeks if we can. Sometimes there is a terrible lack of caches suitable to place them in or the ones large enough aren't in a very secure location.
We haven't released any ourselves yet but I wouldn't hesitate to send a polite email.
-
We cache with our four kids (one pre-teen) and they enjoy the usual kids items. Our oldest will trade for a carabiner. We seldom trade for anything unless its a signature item from another cacher.
We try to carry interesting items for trade. Small sunscreen, sewing kits, salt and pepper shakers, maps. Stuff like that. We stock our hides pretty well but with the knowledge they won't stay that way. But around here if a rural cache gets visited once a month it's on fire. I've got a cache that's a month old and still no FTF yet!
-
We're all crossing our fingers and hoping for terrible weather over the weekend to keep all the other cachers indoors! Good luck Deafhunt!

Congratulations to all!!!
Thanks Geocoin Fairy!

I'm getting the same error message.
-
She's ever so close!!(fingers and toes crossed)
Congratulations to all the finders!
The pictures are great. That's what makes geocaching so much fun for us. The looks on the faces of our kids when they find a cache or see something on our little adventures. Thanks GCF for keeping the magic alive! -
What is the type of sticker that is really tiny? I'm not saying I want to use them in Micros, but I like seeing some of the little stickers, but I haven't been able to find them. They appear to be real labels, not ones which have been cut down... What is the "Avery code" for these tiny little labels? Or any other manufacturer?
I use Avery 8167 which are return address labels. They measure 1/2" x 1 3/4" and take up less room then my handwriting will.
Those are the same ones we use and they don't take up much room. About the same as a signature anyway. Avery's online templates are really easy to use also. They allow you to be pretty creative.
-
We sometimes use labels on micros depending on the log size and space left. Mostly because they can be predated in the car for faster log signing in high traffic areas.
Sometimes adding labels will make the rolled up log too large to fit back in the container properly.
Personally, I don't care for the practice of using labels in everyday caching. It's not as if it's a custom piece of art like a stamp--which can sometimes present its own issues. I always try to use the space provided--maybe two maximum--when logging a micro.
If handwritting is such an issue, maybe a custom stamp? Ask for an "inspection stamp." These are fairly small. The impression will not add to the thickness of the log and will take up less room. Plus, there's the higher "coolness factor."
I REALLY like that idea. Where do you get them?
-
That's what I do except I delete the old log and make a new log so the owner and people on the watchlist get an email notification. I include my complete history including my failed attempt(s) in my find log. One log makes it much easier and more fun to read in the future if I go back and read my old logs.You can log the DNF and if you find the cache later, just edit the DNF log and change it to found it. That is what I do. by logging DNF's you will also have a list of the caches you didn't find so that you can go after them later.
I had no idea you could even do that. It's a really good idea. I think we'll start doing that ourselves.

Congratulations to everyone!!!!

Congratulations and another welcome to the addiction!
I still remember the look on my six year olds face when he found his first cache.
Your going to have a blast! -
There are so many caches that have been great adventures it's hard to choose. We've even had some great DNF's. I guess if we had to choose one it would be GCG4QK
We had a great time on that one. A lot of memories were created on that day.

Wow! Those are some great photos! Here's ours:
Here's the link to vote if you like it. This whole contest is very exciting!

Awesome! Congratulations to all who found the GCF coins. Sooner or later the Geocoin Fairy will have to fly to our area! We'll all be watching.

Hmm... Having evil thoughts. I almost stepped in bear poop three times yesterday. Now, bear poop is a lot larger than dog poop. Could fit something larger than a micro in fake bear poop! Maybe even a small Lock and Lock! But, I'd probably have to make an impression of a pile of poop, and match that strange purple/brown color. But this might be a fun project! Hee hee hee!
Now that I want to see! I can imagine the logs already. -
I placed one on the 4th.And it was published on the 6th.
My close friend posted a cache for review and it was done 1 hour later! So beat that! lol
I know of one cache that was posted in under 15 minutes! Now that's fast.

All Right!
Here's a link to some public domain geocaching logos:

I spoke to a former member of the KGA and she said that it dissolved.
-
well, that should be a cache I've heard of then, Jones isn't too far from home for me.
Ha! I just went through some old GSAK files where I had saved the trip to Jones, and found it. I just now logged my DNF. Not to worry, seems the hider will not be bothering you SW MI cachers any more.

Oh my. Go down to the "Maintenance Log" by the cache owner and check out the link for their "Service"....
(NSFW)
Wow!...

Ya know, I asked a simple question if others found it offensive and what should be done.
I didn't ask to be grilled, mocked, or for anyone to judge me or my beliefs.
A simple yes, I find it offensive, or no, I don't find it offensive would have sufficed.
To make me have to go on the defensive over it is just wrong.
I'm sorry I came here and asked.
I find it offensive. At the very least even if someone had no issue with it whatsoever, it should be considered in poor taste considering the issue some cachers would obviously have with the name.
I think you did the right thing.

How incredibly COOL! I wonder who it is? Whoever they are they deserve some thanks for adding more magic to an already incredible game.
Now I have to find the answer to another question. How do you go about baiting a fairy??
-
Congratulations!!!!!!
We love it when people find our caches. There aren't many cachers in our area so they don't get found often. Every log entry that comes into our inbox makes me fell like a kid at Christamas!
Your hides look great. I like the themes and the area seems perfect. Now that you know they fun of ownership, wait until you find your first cache!!
This is way too much fun!
The pictures are great. That's what makes geocaching so much fun for us. The looks on the faces of our kids when they find a cache or see something on our little adventures. Thanks GCF for keeping the magic alive!
