I was reading a blog last night and I figured I should go back and mark a cache with 'needs maintenance'. Could not do it from phone or tablet. So I went to my computer and looked at the cache, still can't indicate it needs maintenance! How do we do that now?

While I can't answer your question, I just wanted to ask, is it so bad to be going back and checking on caches you've been to? I love to check back at caches I loved when I'm going by!

Thanks! Well, after doing some more poking about, I have decided that I want to try and find a Cache every day in April! So I'm going to try to do that here in march and see how easy it will be to build a daily pattern! =D So Excited! I'll order Bella her dog tag after this next payday! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

Thanks for all the answers so far! My dog is a Min Pin - she can go 3-4 miles without being tired. She's also my service dog. I have seizures, so she warns me 4-12 minutes before a seizure that it will happen which makes me feel more confident about doing this type of activity. So when I take 'forever' to find one, she seems to get truly bored. I don't drive so we walk everywhere This Saturday, there's a 4 mile trail I want to attempt. Where I live we have lots of hiking trails and lot's of caches along them! I would love to make Bella a Geocache - I knew that was possible, but wasn't sure how. So basically, I just get her a travel bug tag and place it on her collar with her other tags? She has also been known to find the caches before me, ha ha ha!

Hi! My name is Jamandy52! My very next find will be my 50th! Wooo! I like Geocaching, and honestly, I have no idea why. I'm not very good at it, I hate getting dirty, and I don't like heat/exercise. This seems to connect all those things I hate into one thing, and somehow I love it! HA HA HA! So, I'm coming up on 50 and I wonder... What is a good amount of Caches that no longer make you a noob? Also, I feel super shy at events because everyone else is so good, and they also seem to have formed their own little clique and the events are overwhelming. I went hoping to make friends or maybe find someone to Geocache with, but left very disappointed. What do you do to celebrate your milestones? Finally, uhm, Travelbugs + geocoins. I am SO tired of opening a cache log, seeing it should have a trackable, and reading through comments saying there's no TB/geocoin etc and the owner needs to remove. I haven't even figured out how to place a cache, though I would love to, but between seeing how poorly maintained caches often are, I worry about the amount of work it may actually be? Finally, caching with a dog? My dog seems to get bored since it takes me 20-20 minutes to find the 'easy' ones. Is there ever a point I'll get good enough my dog can actually feel like she's being exercised? Can I make my own trackable from wood or something or a small toy? Do I have to buy ones online? I want to see a TravelBug or Geocoin travel the world! Do you have goals when you cache? I heard of people doing '24 in 24 hours' or '1 a day for a year' - are these promotions with souveniers or...? How do people find out about the Travelbug promotions in time to get one? I see them and then realize it's over, or all the bugs were given out. Am I weird for having so many questions? Answer what you can, skip what you can't! Sorry for being a pain!
