  1. There are several other ideas for _real_ night caches, and they've been covered in older threads.

    I'd even go so far and don't call the "follow the light exercise" a geocache. I think "GPS Stash hunt" should have something to do with a GPSr.

     

    Anyway: The basic idea of a _real_ nightcache is that you have to go to certain coords and from there you have to search for a reflector. At the reflector you'll get some new coords and so on.

     

    btw. until now the largest distance between the coords and the belonging reflector I know is 800 m (~ 0.5 miles).

  2. You'll get 5 stars for the terrain if you need special equipment: climbing gear, scuba diving, .... easy one.

     

    5 stars for difficulty is a little bit harder >> hide the cache in a way that it is almost impossible to find, include a riddle or do something else where the cacher has to use his brain ...

  3. Mystery or Puzzle Caches

     

    The “catch-all” of cache types, this form of cache often involves complicated puzzles that you will first need to solve in order to determine the coordinates. The only commonality of this cache type is that the coordinates listed are not of the actual cache location but a general reference point, such as a nearby parking location. Unless a good reason otherwise can be provided, the posted coordinates should be no more than 1-2 miles away from the true cache location.  This allows the cache to show up on the proper vicinity searches and to keep the mileage of Travel Bugs that find their way into the cache reasonably correct

     

    Here are some you'll get the idea ...

  4. I've been looking for snow shoes that work with ski boots. I see snowboarders use them for off trail.

    The only issue I see is that ski boots are larger around then most pack boots.

     

    I've even thought about a hack. Mounting trick ski toe clip bindings on shoes.

     

    Any thoughts?

    Why do you wanna do that? If you want to do a skiing tour a pair of special tour-ski is much better ...

     

    btw.: I use MSR snow shoes too.

  5. Do you have an FRS/PMR channel to find out if other Geocachers are in the area?

     

    Yes. The community has decided on channel 2 as the primary for both FRS and PMR, and 12 as the alternate FRS (Family Radio Service) channel and 8 for the alternate PMR (Europe). FRS and PMR radios are longer distance walkie talkies, like the Motorola Talkabout.

    By the way: The Krauts use PMR2 ... dunno why

  6. "Vielen Dank für das Mitnehmen meines Travelbugs. Ich würde mich freuen, wenn Du ihn nach Irland bringen könntest, oder zumindest ein Stück weit in jene Richtung. Vielen Dank, Dennisfauchez"

    As already stated: That's perfect German - dunno if I'm right but it seems to me like Hogarth isn't a native-speaker.

     

    Anyway ... @tobsas: I said "almost". Yes there're some German geocachers who don't understand any English at all but it's hard to find them.
