    I have almost completed editing my ISQ's. I am taking a few days off to now address additional editing requirements and a deadline to boot.
  3. Expand my caching range and see what others have done. Go to Mega events and talk to other cachers. Keep a variety of types and sizes of geocache containers in your vehicle. When you're out and about, and you happen upon a "oh--WOW"location, you'll be ready to go, if you also have your handheld with you. Good to take those containers with you when caching also, if you have to help an owner with maintenance---like a critter chewed container...

    I see a bunch more ISQ's have been archived today by the owner after having been disabled by the reviewers...Too bad.Anyway, we had a good run!
  6. We are the Mudflaps, Sixpack, Bare Crack, Hard Hat, Gun Rack, Achin' Back, Over-taxed, Flag Wavin' Fun Lovin Geocachers from Bippus! Two Things you'll NEVER hear us say: 1. You can't feed that to a dog. 2. Duct tape won't fix that. WHOOOOO-HOOOOOOO!

    You are right...but: GC owns this site and listing service, and has every right to control the speech here. They are a business and are just trying to make money, which is a good thing. I don't agree with their agenda, and they don't agree with mine. But it's their house, so it's their rules. Come to our Geocaching Event picnic Saturday and You can say anything you want about anything you want as long as you don't cuss in front of children. You can say what Rev. Wright said about America if you want! We won't censure anyone! But that's just us.

    I think you can contact the owners of the lists on the cache pages and ask them if they update them or not. I think if a cache is disabled or archived that would be automatically noted on the list ? but I'm not sure. Just so you know, I am hoping that our disabled Indiana Spirit Quest geocaches will be up and running in a few days. I am redacting all the agenda "Pray For Our Troops" and "God Bless America" text and other inappropriate language from the pages, as we speak, to keep them from being archived by the Indiana Reviewers. I think you can still claim a smiley on a disabled cache... but It seems I don't know much about the rules or anything anymore, so don't go by what I say. I am honestly trying to comply with these new provisions, and if I miss something, I hope they don't archive the cache without a second chance.So it goes. Happy caching!

    Glad to note that some of the archived ISQ's have been adopted and "sanitized" and will live on! Yea! The person or person that wants these caches to go away is probably clenching her teeth! Their ultimate goal is to see us go away, but maybe we can live to fight another day...Elvis has left the building.So it goes.

    I saddens me to learn that two ISQ hiders are pre-emtively archiving their Indiana Spirit Quest geocaches rather than remove the yellow ribbon Support Our Troops logos or whatever other offensive agenda text they may have from their cache pages. I know individuals have to stand up for what they believe is right, even when it hurts and I support them 100% in their decision. I have chosen another path, in hope that this will be the last assault on honoring veterans and pioneers on cache pages. I think that ISQ hiders as a group have made a unique and wonderful contribution to the sport with our little niche. But all things must come to an end I suppose. I will never forget all the wonderful, bloody, sweaty times I had bushwacking with my little dog up and down the ravines of the Reservoirs hiding and seeking caches. That too, came to an end.So many little waterfalls!!! Soon all we'll have is nanos under lamp skirts with no cache page descriptions other than "Park and Grab". So it goes.

    HERE'S ANOTHER ISQ IN NEED OF HELP: MIAMI COUNTY

    ISQ Finds

    To All Geocachers: About 97 (so far) of my ISQ's are disabled as of this morning. I will try to remove all the objectionable text as soon as possible starting this morning, but it will take a while. I apologize to all cachers who were offended by my remarks on the cache pages. I now see more clearly that GC is an international deal and why "Support our Troops" and "God Bless America"would be an anathma to some players. I do hope that the history write ups and biographical data on the cache pages that deal with war heroes buried in the cemeteries are not banned in the future as well. For the record, I have always complied to the best of my ability with the textual issues and links that they have required me to delete in the past. Anyway, no matter what happens, I think ISQ has had a good run for almost ten years and thanks to all who have supported us in this effort. I think, on balance it was a good thing, and we did spread to many states, and I think a lot of people had some fun, got out of the house, and maybe learned something of their local heritage. It was never our intent to promote any "agenda". --Rick
