  1. I check where the site is first for parking directions on google maps. From there I use a GPS unless I find it before I acquire a signal
  2. Wondering what your personal opinions are as far as most difficult to find cache was for you. Should just be your opinion and not by how many stars there are. And also the hardest terrain, also without regard to stars?
  3. More distance needed between caches, (but the rule is more loosley based. I.E. it is in distance needed to travel not as the crow flies), and virtuals being brought back.
  4. What do you think about Wherigo as a new cache type and how it will be used? It has already been announced in case you did not check your weekly notification. (Fixed. Wherigo doesn't capitalize the I - Jeremy)
  5. What is Wherigo and how does it work? Also, how does this work with Geocaches?
  6. Good job of finding a way to do it with an ipod though.
  7. ***** Extreme. A serious mental or physical challenge. Requires specialized knowledge, skills, or equipment to find cache. This definition seems to imply that the difficulty rating is the overall rating of a cache and the preparation required to find it; therefore, a cache that has 5/5 should only be taken on only with extensive preparation and sufficient experience. Driving to a cache in a four wheel drive vehicle should be classified at highest a 3.5 terrain because hardly any preparation is required.
  8. My coords for the first one I hid were off by 40 feet even though the GPS showed 6 feet of accuracy. I must of messed up somehow
  9. I concur Lets hide only Wal-mart LPC's up around Jermy until he lets us bring Virts back
  10. If people are crossing into property with no trespassing signs posted, the cops are likely to be called by concerned neighbors. I would look for an alternative instead.
  11. Does anyone know how reviewers are made? Does GC. appoint them when the need is felst, or does the cache community somehow become involved? Also, do they normally have seperate accounts, one for reviewing and one personal account? Do you need to be a Premium Member?
  12. I may plan My eagle Scout project to clean up an area at a local state park. I was wondering if I should have a separate day for a CITO event, and another for the muggles, (My scout troop and the rest of the community), in the same area.
  13. If I had the skills to find Geocaches this way I probably would try and do it and only use my GPSr if I could not find the cache.
  14. After looking through forums have noted many references to, "Powertrails" What are they and why are they not allowed?
  15. What terrain Difficulty are most placed on? i.e. Blue Squares, Blacks, etc.
  16. I have tried several times to follow the link to CITO.org each time I do it brings me to a page that says, "Cache in Trash Out Week is" that is the whole extent of the website I can view. If I click on the Icon it just brings me back to GC.coms home page. Is this all there is to the website?
  17. Just wondering what other peoples inputs are on now being able to search caches by their attributes. This may be the deciding factor for whether I upgrade to a PM.
  18. I was just looking at a Ski Resort I frequent and noticed a cache was placed there with the intent to ski to it. I am just wondering how many people have found ones like these. Please Share your Experiences
  19. This is taken from Beginners QAs. How about this idea. We can make, "Geocaches" that don't have a container and are actually just a place of interest placed on this site. Oh, Yeah. By the way We only want traditional caches
  20. I have read a, its not happening so stop complaining about it several times, but I believe it can happen. We can get this to change. I encourage everyone who would like the resurection of virtuals to e-mail Groundspeak on this issue since it is highly likely they hardly ever browse the forums. Since the web site is here for our enjoyment and not the GC. owners, there is no reason we should not have what we would like to have. Please bring this to their attention.
  21. Why Does GC.com not bring back virtuals? I believe a large amount of people would like them back so once again Why do they not bring back virtuals? I believe they want another website. Why? you may ask, I believe they wish to have another website not for the convince and enjoyment of the users as much as monetary gain. Even though we would not like to believe it, GC is a business. With two separate websites GC can now make sponsors pay to advertise on both of them. The other website, also allows "Caches" which may be perceived as a commercial nature. i.e. Mcdonalds and etc. Why is a McDonald's an interesting place to visit. I do not know. If I wished to know where every McDonald's was I would use Google maps or other business finding specific websites. If you ask me, its all about the money.
  22. Gramin is the only place I can find to buy it for a legend from, anyone know of somewhere that might have better prices for comparable prices? Also, can I transfer the software when I switch computers.
