Make it a real geocache >> something where you have to use your GPSr and not just follow a row of reflectors.

I'm investing in a set of night vision equipment soon. I'll let you guys know how it works for night caching.
Seriously! No joke!
Unless you want to spend 500 bucks or more for night vision goggles it's quite useless - I got a normal NVD and it's ok but as long as the cache hasn't any active lights it not very useful.

hey teamguz -
aren't you worried about melting the snow - or starting the grass on fire?
indeed

"Number puncher" is an attitude, not a find count!
yep - and in southern Germany we call them "Terrorcachers"

I used to cross-post my caches on navicache but I deleted them all since I only got double notificactions of a found it note and I have a local back-up of my caches anyway (in case gc.com has one day a major problem with data recovery).
Before I think about posting them again on NC.com (or Opencaching.com or whatever) the site needs to have a very good feature which I can't find on Geocaching.com but until then I couldn't care less about them.
-
German nightcaches can be found here nightcaching.org - unfortunately the site is only in German but if someone want's to help me with the english version and a list of all nightcaches in th UK I'd be thankfull for every help.

to whom it may concern:
I did submit my Eartcache 4 days ago and I still got nothing - no response, no confirmation, nothing ...
-
My impression is that to be an earthcache the cache has to approved by the local geological body.
Nope - until now he's the guy in charge.
That's why all the earthcaches can be found via his profile.
... and still waiting for mine to be approved.

I wouldn't mind if one of my TBs travels by UPS

Earthcaches are educational virtual caches which are being developed around the world. They aim to provide geocachers with a small lesson about the geology of the wonderful planet on which we live. Earthcaches are a project of the Geological Society of America and its partners (including Groundspeak).

Short Answer: Yes.
Long Answer: You can change everything except the cache-type (traditional, multi, ...). You can move your cache up to 160 meters ... at once ... but it's possible to do this several times so that you move the cache as far as you want without involving an approver.
Anyway:
That's a good advice.My rule of thumb would be to only archive it if you feel it is a significantly different hunt. If it's still basically the same hunt as the original page, just edit it. -
Look there will always be newcomers that haven't seen all the topics that have been discussed. So please try making the next newcomer feel a bit more welcome!
I think I made it quite clear that this has been discussed before with a more or less acceptable solution. If you insist on this topic than we tell that it's not worth to talk about it anymore.

Well a lot of people had this idea. To make it short: All the geocachers out there have so different opinions on what is a good cache that this idea is useless.
Jeremy states something like that one day you can make a list of your top10 caches and on the cachepage it is shown how many cachers have this cache on their top10.
-
Nice. Very nice. No credit or permission granted there either.
As statet above on the webpage: It's a non-official testversion. Anyway if you want to complain there is a mail-address given.
(No it's not my page)

Errrr - it's not my Travelbug? I think you did get something wrong. I did send one to the owner of the TB and got one back. That's it.

Although social practices and political beliefs may pertain, the main question here is about why geocaching bomb scares seem to be more prevalant in the US than other parts of the world.
Have you seen "Bowling for Columbine"? I know it's a very polemic movie but one thing in it was interesting: The people killed in the US by firearms per 1000 citizens is much higher (sometimes factor 100!) compared to other countries with a comparable liberal weapons-law. The movie never explained why this is but obviously there must be something different in the US.
My guess: People in the states are paranoid about everything and everybody which/who might hurt them with the slightest possibility ... and then blow it up/shoot him. It's an atmosphere of suspicion, paranoia and fear which causes this.
Btw. I think beside all the rebels the same aggressive behaviour is causing a serious problem for all the US troops in Iraq. Why is the part of this country where the british forces are so calm compared to the rest?!? But that's another discussion ...

I like the idea very much. In fact I use a German version of The Selector.
Anyhow I miss a few cache attributes

No - you get the honor of finding a cache which took a little bit longer. That's itIf you nail all of the stages of a multi, shouldn't you get credit for multiple finds?Here in Germany some nightcaches take you more than 2 nights and you only get one "find". If you don't like it go out there and do some powercaching (finding as much caches as you can regardless if they are interesting in any way)

If you can help the TB getting closer to it's goal it's ok
-
Is it simply a math thing? There are more caches in the US than anywhere else.
I don't think so - there are more caches in the USA yes but there are a lot more people in Europe who can get suspicious: USA ~ 290 million EU ~ 379 million EU+candidate countries ~ 483 million.
Anyway as mentioned - we live with terrorist for a very long time and thus behave a little bit different. Every country used to have it's own scourge: UK >> IRA, Germany >> RAF, France >> Action Directe and others, Spain >> Eta, ....
