Sorry, "Glitter Girl 2"

(warm, happy place. warm, happy place) I don't care what your beef is over any cache but PLEASE be kind to the VOLUNTEERS who act as approvers. Some of them are friends of mine and I happen to know they put a lot more time and thought into this game as any player. My general observation is that many approvers are TOO casual in allowing caches to keep the players happy. Witness: all the urban caches on lampposts.

It may be 6 inches now but what will it be after 3 days of spring rains? Is this cache going to be anywhere that might freeze up? 6 inches of ice is a lot more difficult than 6 inches of water. Other than that, Yes! But PLEASE leave some sort of clue that it is immersed so that folks don't think there are any errors.

No war. I was just asking for a little courtesy.

Are we complaining or bragging?

Any chance of finding a new avatar? While I don't own it I was first with it here.

You might want to check it out about the feathers, it's a FEDERAL offense to have bald eagle feathers in your posession unless you are an American Indian. (For religious ceremonies) In the state of New Mexico, every bird ... are protected by law and carry severe penalties and fines if convicted. So don't convict any!

In my area there is the issue of cachers trampling all sorts of flora in their search for the treasures. That's why I despise "clever hides" in areas that are rarely visited by non-cachers. Why smugly stash a fake rock under some rocks deep in the middle of the woods far away from any trails?

Man, that was a letdown. I was really expecting something a tad more "edgy." Not a bad idea but scarcely anything to lose sleep over. ... ...Now, if you ever have the need to do a cache about pigs wih multiple personality disorders: I'm your man!

Is not one of the central tenets of all hikers to be aware of their surroundings. Unpredicable weather, toxic plants, dangerous fauna, difficult trails and the like are some of the hazards of hiking in any situation. I have cached some suburban parks that I was nervous in due to the prevalence of teen-agers and the middle-aged pervs watching them. Maybe the old guys weren't pervs but I had no compunction about making that harsh judgment call at the time and acted appropriately. Sheesh.

With apologies to all who work so hard to make this site work: Try Buxley's Waypoints.

Grow gills. The problem has to be YOU, not the equipment.

I've got five caches out there. One is a ten minute drive the others range from thirty to a hundred-plus miles away but on a route I drive every week. Go for it. It'll give you a good reason to visit the family.

I have to do most of my caching while on the job and try to minimize the load. Not so much due to weight but because the boss gets suspicious at some of the detritus we cachers pick up.

Is that bacon I smell? Yeah, yeah, yeah. EVERYONE wants a piece of the pig these days.

Us Hoosiers gotta stick together.

Personally, I've been erasing the micros from my little yellow eTrex. They're just not worth the hassle when I have so many real caches to go for.

Please, please, please! Find a few, read the guidelines carefully and think about your cache, cache placement and cache maintenance before getting underway. It really helps us all out if you plan your cache carefully. That aside. Welcome to the sport. I've got one on Indy's EastSide, "Nesser's Roach Motel" . The rest of mine are in northern Indiana.

Can't you put a tad more effort into the project and make a real cache?

It's not the bad signals but the giant, fire-breathing lizards that piss me off.

Poop-eye the Sailor? Poop Tarts? Kellogg's Corn Poops? Poop! Goes he Weasel? Bomb Poops? Tootsie Poops?

Oh, I thought this thread would be helpful.

Well, I guess since the evil voice is wandering over in AS maybe it'll be safer here. So what kind of poop are we discussing? Physical Poop? Metaphysical Poop? Good poop? Evil poop? The poop you find in your shoes when you have new kittens? Neighbor's dog poop? Margarita-ville at Chi-Chi's morning after poop? Mystery poop discovered when poking your hand into a hollow log at night?

I prefer to wander nude into the woods, often you can get other hikers to leave THEIR items behind for your own use. I find the "jump up and down yelling, 'ooga-booga' method to be VERY effective.
