Yeah, I got that too. I don't even know what the National Map Corps is, is it something like the open source map? It seems that they already have a ton of volunteers where I live.

Could you post the picture as hosted somewhere else, cause the Microsoft Skydrive link is asking me to log in...

Then it was not where it was supposed to be.

It's not 40 feet off. The GPS has accuracy of about 40 feet here, like I said, I think it's lying though. When I visit this one about once a year, somehow I still manage to zero in on it. I feel the container doesn't need camo, because it's sufficiently dark at this place, but also it's not meant to be a hard hide in the first place.

Even though MY gps says 40 foot accuracy, I suspect it's lying because I always get to about the right place. I've had way worse coverage in the Redwood Forests. Accuracy is only as good as the person placing the cache.

I slept on it, and I've decided that I'm not going to do anything. I'm just going to let it stand and hope that will reflect on the person, but I am going to point it out to everyone I can think of...

The cache is in an area of the forest that has about 40' accuracy. The lack of accuracy is the only thing that makes the cache even remotely difficult. The place is also dark. Sometimes you need a flashlight even during the day. But not always.

No, it hasn't been removed. It's still there.

In the past, this person has deleted one of my logs without even talking to me first.

It's not a new hide, it's been around since 2009, though this is a replacement container, I had replaced it a while ago and forgotten that it wasn't cammoed.

In one of my caches another user has logged a find, and used to log to completely talk trash about my cache, as well as give away the hide. My first instinct is to just delete the log, but I am afraid of that action being judged against me, so I have done nothing yet. My second instinct is to send a message to the user, asking them to change their log completely or else I will delete the log and that they have 24 hours to comply (but again, I have not taken any action) The cache in question is: [/url]GC20J9B What should I do here? This has me very upset.

Personally, I don't do anything with them. I usually only even find them by pure luck and observation, maybe I'll take a picture and capture the HH2 coordinates, but that's it. Personally I have no interest in Waymarking, so there's nothing else to do but ignore them and move on. I sometimes like to imagine their importance to somebody else, but that's it.

Well, let us know the outcome when it happens...

I think most Geocachers aren't aware of and are ignorant of, the stamping header in Datasheets. Or even the very existence of Datasheets. For most Geocachers, if it's a benchmark, and it's at or close to where they're looking, it must be the one they are expecting to find. Most people really don't know or care how it all REALLY works.

It is a benchmark in the most generic form of the word, in that a benchmark is a word that means 'survey marker' - however it is not loggable, as only benchmarks from the agency National Geodetic Survey are on this site.

And now... a related bit of comedy (not to be taken seriously, though it's actually kinda true) that I saw the other day... (warning, offsite link, hold onto your children tight) http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/08/05/why-cant-you-use-phones-on-planes_n_3708978.html

I want so badly to make a crude joke about that subject... :-)

There is a really good article about geodetic surveying Southern California, in the latest issue of American Surveyor magazine. The PDF can be found HERE

So, this thread is 6 months old now. The App is great, however are there going to be any updates to it? (I still like to use my Garmin for places with no cell signal)

Not as obvious as a mountainside, but shortly after this thread was new, I saw this...

It seems that about 50% of Wherigo's I try on my iPhone don't work right, I'll get to a page and expect the compass to appear at the bottom to guide me to the next part, and it never shows up. Anyone else experienced this? Is this a known problem? Is there a fix?

Which one is his again?

Oh bonus. Now I qualify for a bunch of challenges. 2 of them are actually somewhat near me also. thanks

Yup, that's what I'm looking for. Thanks
