Yep. Also said the h311 with it and edited the existing no-go cache as well, with a further mail to NJTPTB. ____________________________ - Team Og Rof A Klaw All who wander are not lost.

No. Not even as archived. The 71955 is from the link in the confirmation email, plus the "Visit the Cache" page I get after reporting the cache. I just tried reporting it again, and got the same result! Is this normal behavior for the site? ____________________________ - Team Og Rof A Klaw All who wander are not lost.

Hmmmmm... now it's working, but it's pointing to the wrong cache! ____________________________ - Team Og Rof A Klaw All who wander are not lost.

Hi, I just tried to report a cache and it's not showing up when I hit the link to the page. The "Show archived caches" link also doesn't show the one archived cache I had previously. Is there a problem? ____________________________ - Team Og Rof A Klaw All who wander are not lost.

Geocaching is like sex because…
Team Og Rof A Klaw replied to Criminal's topic in General geocaching topics
Well, they're not alike, because: In caching, wet is bad. Unless you're quite foolish, there is little chance of getting poison ivy from sex. Spreading things from one cache to another doesn't hurt either cache. ____________________________ - Team Og Rof A Klaw All who wander are not lost. -

Hi all, How can I get a count of the number of "premium members only" caches in my area? Thanx! ____________________________ - Team Og Rof A Klaw All who wander are not lost.

Opinions on this cache idea (long)
Team Og Rof A Klaw replied to Mr. 0's topic in General geocaching topics
Hmmmm... Personally, I'm trying to avoid forcing people to drive from place to place. I'd rather encourage 'em to go for a walk. ____________________________ - Team Og Rof A Klaw All who wander are not lost. -
Immersion tests
Team Og Rof A Klaw replied to Team Og Rof A Klaw's topic in General geocaching topics
quote:If you use a container that has been used for food any time in the past and you place it in the woods, it will get ate by the wildlife.Thanks for the heads-up. I bought a new one to use, on the theory that I didn't want worn seals. But that's good to know about. ____________________________ - Team Og Rof A Klaw All who wander are not lost. -
After finding a soggy container yesterday, I dcided that if I'm going to put my own out, I'm darn well gonna make sure it's waterproof. So I ran a 90-minute immersion test on two candidate containers: a small plastic curry-paste jar and a Rubbermaid container that's been kicking around the kitchen for a few years. Filled 'em with lead fishing weights and sank 'em in a bucket of water. (The curry-paste jar failed after 30 minutes; the Rubbermaid container passed.) Just wondering: Does anyone else here run immersion tests on cache containers? ____________________________ - Team Og Rof A Klaw All who wander are not lost.

Rules that don't make sense. Rules that assume that people are basically dishonest and need to be monitored. E.g., the de facto rule against new virtual caches. Yeah, I've heard about the history. But there are plenty of sports where people are assumed to be honest -- where cheating is so easy that it's not worth it. Birdwatching and mail-in shooting matches, fer instance. I know it's your clubhouse and I ain't gonna change your rules, but I hope that someone will build another clubhouse someday. ____________________________ - Team Og Rof A Klaw All who wander are not lost.

How not to place a cache

Really cool cache container on E-bay!

But why pay more? For only $29.95 plus $3.70 shipping, you can get your own! http://www.pastlives.net/ghostin%20a%20jar.html From a happy customer: quote:I lived alone for most of my life.

Why no "Historical" cache category?
Team Og Rof A Klaw replied to Team Og Rof A Klaw's topic in Website
quote:If you can put a regular cache within .1 mile then you can use the historical place as a start of a multi that ends at the regular cache. This is the prefered way to handle a situation where you want people to see a spot where you can't put a cache, but a good cache area is nearby.Works great if you want to set the cache up as the reward of the hunting. Works exactly backward if you want to set the historical site up as the reward. ____________________________ - Team Og Rof A Klaw All who wander are not lost. -
A newbie question. I've searched for articles with "historical" in the title on this subforum, and finding none, decided to pose it myself. For a variety of reasons, it seems like there's a recurring problem with historical places being designated as virtual caches. Now, it seems to me that that's unfortunate. The sport would be a natural way to enjoy and teach history. Why not create a special category for historical virtual caches? The major problems with designating historic spots seem to be: * Virtual caches block out other kinds for a 0.1 mile radius. * Some less than scrupulous individuals are doing their research for VCs on the Web rather than on foot. (And possibly others; I don't claim that this list is exhaustive.) But these don't appear like impossible barriers. The first can be corrected by whoever is setting up the rules. Just state that historical caches are allowed within the 0.1 mile radius of other kinds. The second, well, is human nature. But there are a variety of sports that assume that the participants are basically honest. Birdwatching is one; some games that are played by mail are another. One solution used in such sports is to make cheating not be worth it. This could be done with historical caches as well, by using a "null approval process." If everything gets approved, then cheating is just not worthwhile. Coexistence of "assumed honest" and "must be verified" variants of the game is possible, by separating the scores for each. In other words, you'd have two total cache scores: one for the "assumed honest" variants and one for the "must verify" variants. I give this idea about a 10% chance of going anywhere, but what the heck, it's only electrons. Cheers, - Steve. ____________________________ - Team Og Rof A Klaw All who wander are not lost.
