like Kentucky, Texas has a website that not only lists all the historical markers but all the info displayed on them as well. It would still be fun to see how many one could actually find. Maybe someone can make a website explicitly for Historical Marker Hunting.

I guess I am having a hard time understanding why this is a big deal. Fogheads are nice people, and they just wanted to put a cache in an interesting place. It's not like this spot is owned by anyone (well besides the park service I suppose). the issue here is that Bobkat was going to place a cache with a california geocaching coin official cache theme and now its violates the .1 mile rule of another cache... and its kind of hard to change the coords on every california geocoin that has already been minted. I'm sure they'll understand and for a couple california geocoins I'd move my cache no doubt... Hey bobkat, you have any spots in Texas you need me to move my caches from???

man and to think I could have been posting "cute bug" notes on all these random TBs and have them count as finds . As far as my TB numbers they stayed exactly where they were. 34 finds before the switch and 34 after. Its good to know I was doing it correctly all along.

lol woah timeout here; where is the explanation for this. How does one who shamelessly touts brakeing numerous "TB number barriers" suddenly lose nearly 400 TB finds? I could see some quiet person keeping this all to his/herself while illegally logging TBs (ok so I couldn't think of another word beside "illegally" lol) but the fact is she was durn proud of all those TB finds. Who knows what happened???

I read it all and smile while reading. If something aggravates someone because its not on topic then maybe they need to close the browser, turn off the PC, and go take a jog around the block or something.

I'd log it it gets it off your unfound list and technically you did find it. If anyone accuses you of "padding your stats" they've obviously got worse problems feeling the need to play Mr. or Mrs Voluntary Cache Ethics Administrator.

go easy on the new cachers give a "heads up" to more experienced cachers you don't know verbally beat the crap out of your good geocaching buds and then add a "lol" and a " " at the end of your e-mail to confuse them to all get out.

Personally I think 9key has come out with a great little program for those interested. For those of you who says it gives away the surprise of the hunt I really don't understand. I dress accordingly for all caches I go for and to know there is poison ivy (I'm highly allergic apparently) or ravaging thorns I'd rather know about it before hand. I use it on caches I need to give specific warnings or parking coords for and then don't use it when its not necessary. Its a great geocaching app to have on hand though no doubt! I know more than a few of us don't read the entire cache description when browsing potential caches to hit next and having the park fee right there in easy sight is very helpful as well.

Oh the day the presidential seat is won over the issue of alien UFO cover ups. kind of like the last election....

I wouldn't claim it as a find. In the stats competition with myself if I found out that I was cheating I would be furious with myself and probably disqualify myself from the race to "win geocaching!" (first to a million duh... ) If you pick up all the shredded remains of a cache container after it has come in contact with a brush hog I guess you can count that as a find too... Its really up to you though. There are too many "what ifs" to make a general call. What if you found the log book on your way into the cache but the container was missing? The cache is technically gone and you never found the hiding spot but you could still sign the log. ...too many situations to make a general call.

lol guess that means a little too much partying was done and the bugs didn't get logged off. I really don't understand how one could lose a TB at an event but that link plus countless other past events prove that it happens quite often.

I was in the closet hanging up some laundry but I'm out now and back at my desk... it was getting hot in thurr!

hey Breaktrack, I think we were the only 2 Texan's to order California geocoins. Can't say I've ever been to California before....

man sparky sorry to hear about your bugs... remind me never to take any of your TB's home with me...

log the TB into the event cache page with a note and bring it with you to the event. hand it off to someone at the event and its just like a regular cache. They'll log it back off the event page with their found log.

Awesome job Centris! I moved a couple of hers down in Houston... and its always cool to see the "ba humbugs" of this board get criticized for once. ...you still up for that bet JB?

I'll say this. I've put out 3 TBs at different times and very different places and all 3 have been lost within 2 months. I wonder sometimes of the intelligence levels of some cachers... this is quite rediculous. Should I start putting directions on how to walk and breathe with the directions I attach as how to log my TBs? I say why not everyone do what they want as far as what directions they put on their TBs. In my case... I'm not wasting any more money on these god forsaken things...

I think its all relative. Kind of like how I'd rather see trash in a cache then outside it.

do you plan on using color? (I assume so) is it trackable? (expect all of them to be kept and never heard from again)

Personally I wouldn't be as excited looking for a well hidden micro; had that been an ammo can no one could find I'd be quite impressed. As a finder if it was a micro I probably wouldn't have gone back a 2nd trip unless it was conveniently located.

any coin I release eaither a TB, trackable, or not I expect to never hear from again. Its just like putting out a WG dollar. They have a little more value among cachers and don't want to be traded. Then a cacher's memory of where it went gets really fuzzy.

man all that and you still got a tractor ride? That was a good day! I was hopelessly looking for a cache on a nature trail one time when a man walked by and told me the trail was blocked by a huge lake of water from the previous rain. So I didn't look suspicious I told him I was trying to find different species of leaves out on the trail... thats when... he started helping me! eek! The sad part was that he seemed to know more about leaves then I did so I thought he'd never "leaf". (har har)

If I was a cache I'd probably come out of hiding and spill all my contents out on the trail so the next geocacher to come along would feel sorry for me and think I was "muggled". It would take some pretty good acting but I think I could fool'em

don't have a wife yet so I'll pick on my mom: she hates it despises it says its dangerous and it takes up all my free time she also suggests that I find some when we go on vacation whats up with that?

You know you're caching in Texas when you can drive 800 miles in a straight line to a cache... and you're still in the state
