Looks like the park weirdo thread from a few weeks ago, reinvented.

Butch and Sundance................... behind the blackboard in the old schoolhouse.
I thought that was Thunderbolt and Lightfoot with Geoff Bridges and Clint Eastwood? Or was it Beau Bridges? I get them mixed up....anyway, one of Lloyd's sons!
I think you're right. It's been a while. Still a good cache.

I loves cats. Why just the other day I was at this Chinese place and........................................ oh nevermind.
Mmmm...cat. How 'bout a nice cat-serole?
LOL!!!!

The central idea isn't geocaching. It's team building as in a corporate management structure. There are some other businesses out there that offer similar services. Like survival training, race car driving, etc. I can't advocate it or talk it down since I was never involved in any. I talked to some guys who took part in one (not geocaching). Some said it was great, others said it was a waste.

After being introduced to geocaching a while ago, Upinyachit has met quit a few cachers, but I wonder just how many are squeaky clean.
I've had to do a lot of cache maintenance, so that makes me believe that some cachers are DIRTY. If you trade a golf ball for a calculator, THAT'S DIRTY. If you take a pocket knife and leave your pocket change, THAT'S DIRTY. If you don't put the cache back as placed, THAT'S DIRTY. If there is a group of geocachers that make disgruntled posts all day long, THAT'S DIRTY I can also bet that a lot of cachers post on these forums everday, but they know in their heart and soul that they made an unfair trade. Then they have the adasity to say they are an asset to geocaching. I guess that's just the way the world is, DIRTY
D
um.....................just how much pocket change are we talking here????

And just how do you decide who the crazy ones are?

I've been framed!!!!!

Just looked at who's actually in the forums right now.
I don't get out much, and I'm still a newbie,
but I'm amazed at how many of these people I've never heard of.
Methinks there are many, many lurkers out there!

I recognize Col Mustard, but I thought he was in for the murder of Professor Plum.
Yep.............................. Colonel Mustard did it...................... in the woods............................. with an ammo can.

And let me guess, you'd like to be head of the smurfsters union??
Let's just hope you don't become the next Jimmy Hoffa...
I can see the newspaper headlines now,
"Head of Smurfsters Union Missing"
Twenty years later...
"Head of Smurfsters Union Still Missing"
Headline:
(AP) (UPI) SMURFSTERS BLUE over missing leader...............Boys in blue have no clue.

And you should be able to toggle the backlight on and off using the power button - just hold it down briefly so you don't shut off the GPS.
Hmmmm....why didn't I think of that?
I guess you just weren't fast enough. hehehehehehe

$60 Bazillion just to send pictures to Earth confirming Mars has rocks... Now that's spending money wisely Let me weigh this one out. Tax cut or Crappy pictures of rocks that look like they come from Arizona anyway. Yep, I'll take the pics anyday. NOT.
Don't complain about NASA and space admin monies while holding your GPS in your hand. Or while looking at your PC. How do you think we get some of the technology we use everyday? It is a direct offshoot of the space program. And what isn't from space exploration is derived from defense spending. Ya gotta look at the big picture. The photos themselves may cost a lot, but the side benefits and new technologies make up the cost many times over.

I went to decrease your warn meter, which seemed an appropriately contrarian response, but it is already at zero. Apparently you cannot have a warn level of negative ten percent.
Criminal with a zero percent warn meter? How the HECK did that happen? Sorry to ruin your reputation by disclosing that dark secret.
You mean we can run up a credit? Aw sh................ucks

I wouldn't consider either one a sport. I consider it more of a hobby. But I've seen caching called a sport, a hobby and a game. I consider it a hobby, sometimes an obsession, almost always enjoyable. Sport to me conotes competition. The only person I compete with is myself, unless I consider perhaps the act of competing against the cache hider. I imagine it's all in the interpretation.

Seems like you stirred this pot before.............like in November. Maybe you should re-read some of the posts from that thread.............or perhaps go out and try some geocaching. Heck, you might like it more than posting the same questions to the forums.

I ran into a park weirdo the other day...
This fellow was sitting on a bench with his shorts pulled up way too high
and we were on an offset looking for clues...
He mumbled something really loud and looked angry.
Needless to say, we split !
Can you say, PSYCHO !
But did he have a GPSr and a bag of trinkets in his hand?

Well now GC.com didn't alter the natural circulation of bills. They seem to come and go into caches and a lot of trackable items come and go into caches. Geocaching in and of itself is a new hobby and now a part of a lot of peoples natural life style.
What did change the 'natural' circulation of bills was wheresgeorge.com as they tracked them and their very existance caused changes to the 'observed natural behavior of bills' Go figure. The rules of their site and the sites existance cause the problems they are having. Not geocaching.
A cause and effect type of thing. Seems to me, the idea of their site is to track the geography and use of currency. If a wheresgeorge bill is used as a cache trade item, that becomes one of the accepted uses of that same currency. To disallow it seems to negate their purpose. At least that's how I see it.

Is this old news? I don't track where's george bills, but it looks like wheresgeorge.com has a problem with cache traded georges. It just came to my attention, and I didn't see anything on here about it. I see georges traded all the time in caches. According to this, cache traded bills are not circulated "naturally" and won't fit their standards to be tracked.

There are 30 some varieties of standard bar codes. Consumer goods like groceries use the UPC code (universal product code). Scanning it into your grocery store scanner won't get you far. It could be one of a large number of industrial codes. There are even a few proprietary codes out there. I don't know how you'd even find out unless you had some kind of scanner with a universal decoding language built into it.

Careful what kind of glue or sealant you use wiith the Lexan. Any nastey solvents in it will cloud the plastic and you'll no longer have a clear box. At work we cement lexan together with Methylene Chloride. Case-way SC325 is a good choice. Devon Siltite silicone sealant will do the sealing job. The glue won't bond to metal though. I'm guessing the framework idea will be the best bet. Perhaps leave most of the ammo box intact and install a couple of picture windows in it. Gasket them with the Siltite. Sides, bottom and lid?
