  1. Sorry to hear it is too late to join. Since it looks like all the main people interested are in the first group, looks like this will be a did-not-find. I would have been interested in the challenge but don't see how I can do it alone. I will try to start a second group anyway however I fear all the people who really want to do this are in the first group.
  2. If it is not too late to join I would like to participate in this one.
  3. I just saw that is it just a little south of Fredricksburg now. I would be willing to pick the staff up and move it to the DC or southern MD area..
  4. I'm in Fredricksburg Virginia so if it comes this way I am glad to help
  5. Anything that is planned for a NoVa event will be posted on this board and probably as an event cache as well. It sounds like we have enough interest in setting up an event so anybody interested in helping organize something email me. Once we have details they will be posted. Krandor
  6. I wasn't implying nothing was being done. From the comment one person made it sounded like locationless was dead. As long as they are still being worked on that is cool. I was only confused on if they were gone or if they were coming back.
  7. As long as you leave something somebody else might like, you should be fine. expired lottery tickets, beer caps, used movie tickets, etc. (i.e. things you would throw in the garbage) are out.
  8. and you have the right to demand that gc does something because?
  9. That is wonderful to hear. Glad you are going to be able to get a hold of the bug.
  10. I guess most people are more used to TB having goals then coins having goals. Doesn't make it right, though.
  11. If virtuals get their own section you might be able to make it work there. Outside of that, what you could do in relation to what is accepted now is to make it is a multi-cache. Post coordinates to part 1, have something there that gets you coordinates to part 2, etc. after the last part you can send them to a regular hidden cache. or you could do a micro nearby for each part (go to part 1, then there is a mico you can look for or not nearby) and the same for the others. If done that way, you couold get them approved now and then work toward being able to do them differently in the future.
  12. If the other caches were all over the world the costs of trying to hunt it would be huge so I doubt you would get many people to hunt it. and there is also the responsibility of how do you maintain a cache that has parts all over the world.
  13. Ah, so a Pog ontainer could be one of those tubes used as a micro?
  14. i agree with the earlier poster. Pog is a game played with little cardboard circles. If a cache desription listed it as a pog container, I would assume that it is a theme cache for pogs and you are only supposed to trade pogs. Can you post a link to the cache where you saw pog referenced?
  15. I guess I was under the assumption they would be coming back at some point just in a different form instead of being completely banned forever. I'm sorry to hear they are gone forever because they were a nice change of pace.
  16. If locationless is in a separate section like benchmarks, why is that a problem?
  17. Any idea when locationless caches are coming back? The thread said April/May of last year.
  18. For your first few caches, pick 1/1 and go up from there. And yeah, at around 50 feet or so look more for hiding places then at the GPS.
  19. Once you get around 50 feet or so you are best to start looking for the cache and don't worry about the GPS as much. In addition at that range it will change a lot so if you need to home in on the coordinates that you have let it sit a few seconds, then move, etc. However, remember that the accuracy is 20 feet. So the hider has an accuracy of 20 feet and you have an accuracy of 20 feet so between the two you could be 40 feet off. So around 50 feet look at the surroundings for the cache and not so much on the GPS.
  20. Earthmate requires a laptop which is horrible for Geocaching. If you want to Geocache, lookk at something like a Garmin etrex. You will be much happier.
  21. With benchmarks a lot of them are not there anymore so you have to take that into consideration. and yes, there are caches to hide and even at an hours drive, plan ahead of time and make the drive and find a lot of caches in one day. Can make a good day trip.
  22. Make sure the coordinates you are entering and the mode your GPS is in are the same. There are multiple ways that coordinates can be listed and you have to make sure your GPS is in the right mode for those coordinates.
  23. Got 5 today and I hope to try to grab 5 more tomorrow morning before the football games (of course they are calling for snow here tonight so I'll have to see what I can do tomorrow).
  24. The main reasons you would want to go back would be 1) You see a message that a cache you had visited may be missing and you want to be a kind soul and go check it out so you can let people know 2) If you want to pick up or drop off travel bugs. 3) You want to introduce a friend to Geocaching so you can pick a cache you have been to so you can make sure he can find it. Now as for deleting them, in my case I use Pocket Queries so most everytime I get a new download, I wipe out my current waypoints in my GPS, run my Pocket Query through Watcher to filter the caches I want to visit, and reupload to the GPS. However, that is more advanced work. The bottom line is - go on and delete if you are not going to go back soon. You can always readdd it again later.
