They are only $17 and you would be surprized to find out how many uses you can find for one once you have it. I hope the kids don't laminate the dog. Life is like being on a dog sled team. If you are not the lead dog the view is always the same. Complacancy is feeding a tiger steaks while waiting for him to become a vegitarian. I am so glad to hear that there is someone else out there who has concerns for their pets life when technology meetsthe hands of children...HA HA HA HA HA HA HA When I read that I about fell out of my chair laughing and then looked right at my son ...he is sitting next to me ...he was like WHAT????? I was like HELLOOOOO dont get any ideas!!!!!!!!! Then I just got that smile you know the one....when cold shivers travel up and down your spine because you know your child just had a thought...........HEH!!!!!!!!!!! To cache or not to cache...is there a question?

Oh Lord ok I have to get it off my chest what does a boy smurf and a girl smurf do when papa smurf isnt around? smuck ~snorts~ Oh its beeeeeeen waaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyy too long........................ Help me, Now I have the smurf theme song in my head and I cant get it out. ~la la laa la la laaa laaaaaa la~~~~my kids are going to think I lost it. But I bet if we get the GPS out we might just be able to find it!!!!!!! HA HA ok I will behave. More then likely I am the only one finding myself amusing at this point. Imma smucking outta here...... ~giggles~ couldnt resist........ ~adjusts halo~ To cache or not to cache...is there a question?

I came across this cache just a couple of weeks ago Old Stone Cabin We read all the posts and we were aware that the potential for it not being there was high. My question is, Would it be wrong if we went and replaced another cache there at the same area location? This was an AWESOME place for a cache. Regardless of the outcome, we had a great time getting to this place. While we sat there talking on the phone to Caspian all we could say was if the cache isnt here one should be. Since our visit the cache was archieved. What is your opinion on this? I tried to email the owner to ask if they had removed it, replaced it ect, but as of yet I have had to reply. I dont think at this point that the owner watches the cache from reading the logs because there was never any notations made to any of the previous postings regarding the missing cache. Anyways, a thought that came across, figured I would ask in here to see what people thought about this. Thanks Heart To cache or not to cache...is there a question?

is he in a cache? or just picked up, never logged and lord knows where? If he is in a cache I might be able to help you getting him back on he road again as DuBois is only about a hour drive from me. Heart To cache or not to cache...is there a question?

~look what he did to me ~ I need a shower I feel dirty ....WAIT.......!is my GPS waterproof????????????????????????? how the heck to I get to my shower anyways there are no coords!!!!!!!!!!!!! HELP ME HELP.................................... To cache or not to cache...is there a question?

Hi I am Heart~point to caspian ~ Its all his fault he will have to pay for the 12 step program........ i have even addicted the kids.....am I going to burn in hell? Well maybe only id there ia a away-point marked MAWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA To cache or not to cache...is there a question?

Ok I am sure that this will step on many toes but this is from a Mother's heart and perspective. Men ...grown men ...lurking around a place desigened for children without a child.....not a good thing. Yes I stereotype them, not as a good thing either. Its that serious, no nonsense I will protect my child at all cost, super macho kick I get as a single parent. Its like I have learned to visually scope an area when turning loose the kids. I started this behavior because I thought that their father was stalking me, which he was, but regardless, It became a habit to protect my kids. I will hustle my child out of a community play area if I feel that the potential is there for someone out of the oridnary is around. ( am I making sense?) Keep them out of the playgrounds........ Keep then where they belong.......... make them child friendly....but dont place them in the kids domain! ok whew my 5 cents worth I need sleep! To cache or not to cache...is there a question?

No One Move...........I see the travel bug ! To cache or not to cache...is there a question?

~throws hands in the air~ I swear I am innocent!!!!!!!!!! I have plenty of people who can vouch for my where abouts for the last month or so. I have only 2 bugs legit ones just waiting to go to their destinations. I am waiting for the weather to clear up to head one east bound and Caspian to visit to take the other out towards Alaska. Honest I am innocent ~adjusts halo~ see ~points~ And yes I agree with you although we are discussion creating a bug prison or resort or whatever you want to call it (and for me I like detox center ha ha ha) ( or maybe a bug bar?!!! ok I will behave) I would never encourage people taking a bug without knowing that you can help it achieve its mission in life. Nor would I encourage bugs just sitting there and being stuck going no where. ( I hope that I am making sense my head is fuzzy...ha ha ha I am too busy planning on my caches for the day with the kids after getting work done IS IT NOT FINISHED YET???? I NEED TO GO CACHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) To cache or not to cache...is there a question?

My only suggestion to these sort of emails is the following......... Do Not Panic. If and when you ever get a email like that go to the original company that it came from. For example, If its from Ebay go to the "official" EBay site and email them, forwarding the email that they sent you and ask them if indeed they sent it. Most companies will NEVER email you asking you for personal information. They will put alerts on your account page in their actual site. The only reason a company will email you for the most part is if there is a question regarding an order. If they are "Upgrading their data base" They will have you do it the next time that you make an online order. The big companies do not have the time to deal with emailing every user and asking for them to upgrade this is just not possible nor feasible. If it doesnt fit well, then its a hoax. ~places soapbox away~ To cache or not to cache...is there a question?

Yes ~points to Caspain~ What he said! To cache or not to cache...is there a question?

Here you go....... I am sitting here reading the posts and listening in the background to my daughter talk to Caspian on the phone making arrangements on his upcomming visit. Geocaching now has been the topic for the last 15 minutes and her excitement is growing as she talks about the travel bugs we currently have. As far as I hear, his entire trip will be planned around the caches we can hit while he is here, not what we can do, but the caches we can do. Now this is what its all about in my book! While he is out here we will plan our retreat center for travel bugs! I cant wait to see the excitement when the kids can finally feel ownership towards their own cache! To cache or not to cache...is there a question?

please please work To cache or not to cache...is there a question?

Thank You JungleHair......... You hit the tone of which we have been talking about. Thank you so much for the better term to be used. We just couldnt think of anything but the word prison. I think that you have summed up the essence of what we were talking about in the first place. "Travelbug Vacation Destination - rest your weary travelbugs here..." I think that is a perfect way to explain this. We even thought that we could "decorate the cache depending on the season" We could even call the cache "Calling all travel bugs" It would be nice to have our cache as a destination for travel bugs to go and visit. All the while being maintained by children, followed by children and teaching them responsible geocaching habits. Thank you for such a positive post!

Hey I just read your last post, had to look at your profile...your rather cute there warm fuzzies! single? and yes my kids LOVE travel bugs, and the problem in this area is that there have been times when we go through all the steps to find a cache and when we open it there is a golf ball and a beer token...not excitement to be sure. I have learned to trade up! just so that on my part I can make sure that the next kid that comes along will be happy with their find. ....ok so now that I have gotten off the track....................

I think that your missing the point here. The point to what we are thinking about doing is making this FUN for the little geocachers. This would not be a difficult cache. It would be a 1 difficulity perhaps 2 ( on a childs thinking scale) and a terrain of 1. The purpose would be to promote little geocachers in this area and give them a cache that they would want to go to, have fun with and in the end be the rescue hero. If you read, we added and I will quote "Kidnapping travel bugs seems like a harmless enough event, as long as you log them as soon as the crime has been committed. This, we feel, would give the younger geocachers a chance to really get involved and liberate the captured bugs. Again, all things would be done in a responsible manner. And who knows what adventures would happen to the bugs by their captivity. Now we know that some people are more then likely saying WHAT !!!???? kidnap MY BUG!! I think not! Let us assure you that if we do this, we would also be responsible and not allow a bug to sit in prison for an extended period of time. We realize that they need to travel, and after a short term sentence we ourselves would free them if we find they have been milking our hospitality for too long……." meaning that the owners of this cache would rescue out bugs that remained there for too long lets say a two week period max. While I understand 'napping bugs is not a good thing....I do feel that we as the adults need to realize that kids are also involved in this sport. It is a good, activity that will not drain us parents financially and it also encourages logical thinking and the abilty to use common sense. while looking at things from this perspective, with responsible cache owners I then ask, how much harm would come to a travel bug if brought to a cache prison under these terms?

Great IDEA Caspian....... gee why did I think of that?????????????? Heart
