He's definitely talking about The Selector cache. The owner, TinSparrow, is a friend of mine. I know how to solve this one but I wouldn't want to give anything away. He's a really nice guy, however, and I'll bet if you emailed him for a hint he'd give you one.

That's a fabulous idea... in fact, someone should do that.. As a matter of fact, I already have Check out my cache, GPS Art.. It requires walking a route to draw a picture to get to the final stage. It's pretty neat. (If I do say so myself.) It would have been easy to fake the route after one had been posted, that's why I didn't require the track log to be part of the find. I posted parts of the coords to the final cache location along the route.

A VERY easy way. Uncheck the box that indicates it's ready for an approver to review. Then go ahead and submit it. Without that box checked they'll never even see it in the que. I've had one sitting unchecked for a month while I tweaked the page and set up the cache location.

I'm lucky enough to have Mtn-man caching in my area, and leading the Georgia Geocachers Association, so I get to meet him regularly. He's a very nice guy that ALWAYS seems to be smiling. Unfortunately he's always busy as hell at these GGA meetings so I can't really spend time to talk to him as much as I'd like. There are lots of non forum regulars at the GGA meetins too that are great people and a pleasure to meet. The only other famous cacher I met was Clayjar. I'd like to meet Jeremy and shake his hand.

You wouldn't like what I'd spell out in your front yard with Roundup.

Here's a direct question. Did you really think you could start a For Profit web site, do it really well, and expect to get away with it? Seriously, good job Jeremy! I just hope someday I'm gutsy enough and talented enough to be as successful as you doing something I love. (notice how I didn't say lucky, I don't think successful people are lucky, they take risks and work hard)

You want it to be close to the actual location so it shows up properly on searches for all caches closest to a point, another cache, etc. If you pick 00.000 00.000 your cache will be found by very few people. You should also keep in mind that the bogus coords will define an area where no other cache can be placed, so try and pick coords that a cache couldn't be placed in anyway. For instance, if your cache is in a park, don't use bogus coords that are also in the park. Instead, pick coords of a nearby mall, in a lake, an airport, etc.

Your problem must have also removed the period key on your keyboard. I hope that doesn't happen to my computer, I like people to be able to read what I'm typing.

I think you answered your own question with your first sentance. It's the rules of this site. When you're hunting for caches listed on this site you have to follow their rules. Or maybe you're a sockpuppet troll, in which case none of that matters and we should just all start fussing over what you said.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the "pointer" in the GPS pants. Or the "click stick".

Happy Birthday! I've had some of those before and sort of remember what it's like. To people curious about the above linked cache... beware of digging through the logs too deeply, you'll come across a picture of Jeremy with his shirt off. Heh heh heh

Mushtang. My point was exactly the opposite. "Lame" caches serve a purpose. The ability to enjoy them has as much to do with the person seeking them as anything else. Lame is as lame does, means that if your panties get in a twist over it and someone elses doesn't, the problem probably isn't with the cache. I tried to show that via a series of logs based on what people are really thinking or would or could say. Sometimes an angle works and sometimes an angle doesn't. Oops. I definitely missed your point on that one. After re-reading it I can see that you were trying to point out that a cache will be judged differently by different people. I guess no cache is really "lame". After reading so many threads that are anti-micro I sort of had that in my head as I read this one. I'd hate for GC.com to pick up on all the micro bashing and send them the way of the Virtual and the Locationless. Anyway RK, point taken and I'm sorry if my reply sounded a bit rough. I was in a bad mood when I wrote it and that probably came through more than I meant for it to.

I'm sorry you read that as an attack, it was mearly an attempt to point out to RK that his thread came down way too hard on Wal-Mart type micros. JoGPS said it better than I did, but I think it was basically the same point. This isn't the first thread and I'm sure it won't be the last where people complain about micro caches being "lame". And what does it matter that many posters in the forums and in this thread agreed with RK? Does that mean I'm not allowed to point out why I think he's wrong?

I think I see what you're trying to say RK. I get the point, and I'm going to go hide a lunch time quickie in the mall parking lot tomorrow instead of at Wal-Mart. It'll be a micro, with just a log book. I like those and appreciate a variety of caches. If they were all 4 star caches I'll bet you'd be here posting about why aren't there more quick and easy caches, we don't always have time to go for the caches that take two hours to complete, and someone should go to school to learn how to be more like you. Someone give that boy some cheese.

Put me down for one entry into Book-fest 2004 please.

Um... okay. I'll go for it. I also didn't have a virtual approved that I didn't submit. It didn't make me mad and it didn't make me want to quit. The approvers that didn't seem like they're showing favorites are not doing a bad job. Why must it be this way???

So... what's the answer? Please share your knowledge with others.

Let me axe you a question, does it bother anyone when the word "ask" isn't pronounced correctly?

Ooh, another one that gets to me is when people mean to type "a lot" but instead make it one word. Alot of times this just makes me wonder if people ever paid alot of attention in school, or if they just slept through most of it. Made up words just slay me.

The one that bugs me more than anything is "your" when they mean to say "you're". That's everywhere! As in, "Your going to like this cache". If you want to say that, "you are (something)", then use, "you're".

Oh, so very frustrating. My fiancee Gift and I (both avid cachers) drove to Virginia Beach from Atlanta for the 4th of July weekend and did some caching while we were there. We were grabbing some locationless caches as well, one of which was the Eternal Flame locationless. We got out of the car, took pictures, read a little about the site, and headed on our way. It turns out that this particular flame had already been logged so we couldn't log it anyway. However, just a few minutes ago I found out that there was a micro cache hidden at that spot and we could have had a find anyway. We had the laptop with all the local caches in it, and I even had them loaded into my GPSr. I think I had the waypoints turned off so I could see the streets since I was unfamiliar with the area otherwise I would definitely have seen it. Has anyone else found that you were AT a cache location but failed to realize it until later?

Wow, that's very generous of you. I own an eTrex Vista and would love a chance at the free carrying case. Thanks for the offer, and please put my name into the hat. Happy 4th of July!

I'd also do a little research and get one that is water proof (several are). Some even claim to float, but I've recently seen an example of one that was supposed to float but didn't. Tie your water proof GPS to a float and enjoy the fun you'll have with it. By the way, when you're not out rowing you might want to look into a little online game called Geocaching. Try finding a few, you can always stop caching whenever you want.
