Description / Logs say it is a micro but NOT a nano.

If it is real, I would love to know what the hide was.

After reading the logs, my take is that a friend found it eventually, created a new rookie account and logged an hillarious find. Glad to see some people can still have fun with geocaching.

Am I missing something?? There is no post explaining the title.

Last year's Ardagh CITO was my first CITO. Had a great time. Looking forward to this year's version.

I will be there.

Actually I was thinking ham hocks.

I would recognize those legs anywhere.

Should I bring my own food, just in case????

It has been disabled for quite awhile. I am planing my weekends and concerned whether I should keep this one on my agenda.

Try this in downtown Toronto http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...20-7d303bc447a8

Oddly coincidental. Others appear to be looking at the permission issue. This could be the tip of a very very big iceberg http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...=y&decrypt=

Well, I don't know how to do that either. What GPS do you have? If you create the waypoints starting with "A" in the top left, "B" in the top right, "C" in the bottom right and "D" in the bottom left of the "X", then go into Routes and create a new route from A to C to D to B. this will form an "X" and the intersection will be the cache location. Email with your four set of coordinates and I will do it in Mapsource for you.

Use your GPS to create a route between the four points. Where the X intersects is what you are looking for. Pretty simple.

Use your mapping software on the PC to draw a route that goes from the 4 known points to each other to form an X. Where the route lines intersect is where the cache is. If you don't have mapping software, contact me and send me the sets of coordinates and I will use Mapsource to do it for you. Tequila

Three times???? I don't think so Tim. The other cache could be anywhere within a 162 meter circle (radius not diameter) from the requested location. If you can narrow that down in three tries, give up geocaching and go to Vegas.

Only store I know is Angie's Surplus in Barrie.

This is a terrible idea. Many geocachers would use this technique to triangulate the final locations of Multis, L/B Hybrids, and puzzles. Suppose nobody has solved the puzzle yet, an elaborate game of battleship using your original idea would occur. I reviewer once mentioned a group of determined cachers, trying to find a 5 star cache, by hiding new caches every .1 miles. They were in essence playing battleship, hoping to find the puzzle cache. By giving the exact distance, you would ruin many good puzzles. I vote no for this feature. Who said it had to be exact? Just say "There is another cache/stage within 162 meters".

If checking the coordinates is restricted to for example two questions per hour no one could really use it to figure out the coordinates of a cache. If the tool only says "ok" or "not ok" one even does not know if he is to close to a cache or just a multi cache stage. Not true. With 24 hours a day, a determined cacher can spend weeks if he wanted to in order to find a difficult puzzle or multi without going out in the field. Even 1 questiion a day, though limiting as it is, will not deter someone. Triangulation and trilateralization can be done with simple yes/no answers to you are within 528 feet of an existing cache. Good grief. Before doing all that, a quick email to one of the finders would probably yield a hint or solution. If someone was willing to do all that, then I say have at it. Why make everyone else do without to prevent one (doubt there is one much less more) person from abusing it. Also, if they were that determined, they would be more inclined to just go to the area and look around.

If checking the coordinates is restricted to for example two questions per hour no one could really use it to figure out the coordinates of a cache. If the tool only says "ok" or "not ok" one even does not know if he is to close to a cache or just a multi cache stage. There are tools like geochecker used to verify the coordinates of "?"-caches. They work fine and can't be used to determine the final coordinates. Futhermore, the checker wouldn't need to tell you the location of the other cache. A simple "There is cache within 162 meters" would do. And it would be a great help.

Just because I can sit outside a bank and write down the license plate numbers of everyone who goes there, doesn't mean the bank has to tell me how much money is in their accounts. As has been said before, there are no good reasons to reveal this information. There is at least one good reason not to. And no, idle curiosity is not a good reason. That is funny. Because, if you make it a members only cache, you can see everyone who looks at the page and the time they looked. That would certainly debunk the privacy baloney.

Softmaps are ok but only 1:50K. Not sure how much, if any of that detail, can be loaded into a GPS. If you want high detail maps that you can completely download into a Garmin, try the following 1:10K maps. http://www.canadianmaps.ca/GPS_Garmin_Maps..._GARMIN_GPS.htm They are not cheap (about $260 at Radioworld for all of Ontario) but highly detailed. And the best part is the full color version of the topo map can be loaded into a Garmin. The website has a sample. I am part of a volunteer K9 search and rescue team and I find them indispensable.

The reaction that you received by posting to this thread with logical, sound advice is probably a good indication of why TPTB have not done the same. Don't let these guys bring you down. Keep up the good work and keep doing what your doing. And don't forget: The customer comes first in everything we do at Compass!

You can start with the 94 other caches worldwide that have the name WalMart in them that were not singled out. Then move on to Home Depot (about 50 of those). And the list goes on.

I have already stopped putting out new caches. My Premium Membership is up in July.
