I think the reason that traditionals are approved over virtuals is that a "virtual cache" is not really a cache. Cache is defined as:
1) A hiding place used especially for storing
provisions.
2)A place for concealment and safekeeping, as of valuables.
3)A store of goods or valuables concealed in a hiding place.
Nothing is "hidden, stored, or concealed for safekeeping" when it comes to a virtual. Am I calling for the end to virtuals? No. I just think they should be placed when a traditional cache cannot be placed, as stated numerous times before. If you have a place of interest that you want people to see or visit, can they not appreciate it if there is a traditional cache nearby? Why not lead them to the spot with the traditional cache, and make sure to note on the cache page the things you want them to appreciate/notice/stand in awe of? There can't be that many places that require a virtual to be placed over a traditional, and with a traditional, you can have the experience of a virtual, and swap McToys

Calling a cache "Lame" is too subjective. This being said, drop me a note and tell me if my caches are lame. At that point, I'll archive all mine and quit the game.

Umm, I don't like them, but Depeche Mode did a song called Pleasure, Little Treasure, and the Kottonmouth Kings have an album called Hidden Stash, and last, but not least, is THE song, by The Who, entitled
Cache Cache
Did you ever sleep in a bear pit
With apple cores and mice along
Did you ever lay on ice and grit
Or search for a place where the wind was gone
Did you ever tramp up endless hills
Past cosy homes with secret beds
Did you ever dream of a suicide pill
And wake up cold to the smell of bread
Well I have slept there badly twice
And shared my straw with scratchin mice
Although you'll find some deep brown hair
I'll tell you something for nothing
There ain't no bears in there (cache cache)
Not a single bear in there (cache cache)
Did you ever have to make a draw
For a hard wooden bench or a bed of stone
Did you ever jemmy a stable door
Or scare the horse to escape the snow
Did you ever invade a neat little yard
Wake up the children who hope for ghosts
Did you ever cause their dogs to bark
Their guests to curse their noisy hosts
Don't jump in expectin fun
Don't swagger in there with your elephant gun
Don't enter the cage with wavin chairs
Cos I'll tell you something for nothing
There ain't no bears in there (cache cache)
Not a single bear in there (cache cache)
Did you ever pass the police at work
And hope that they might take you in
Did you ever wonder why music hurts
When someone plays it aloof to sin
Did you ever believe that a smile could cure
A happy face keep you warm at night?
Were you ever fooled by laughters lure
Only to find that they laughed in spite?
Chorus: (as above)
Did you ever finally find a place
A soft warm bed in a room of flowers
And when you finally laid down your face
You found you slept for a hundred hours
A hundred hours.
There ain't no bears in there (cache cache)

My last cache was approved by UtahAdmin in 16 minutes! Talk about efficiency!

on a related note, a bear's penis bone is also known as a "Mountain Man Toothpick". I know a guy who has one, but denies using it for that purpose.

I just wanted to thank UtahAdmin for approving my latest cache in a whopping 16 minutes! Thanks!

The Government probably got the technology from the aliens. They have been tracking individuals for decades....

If it was mine, you can bet it would be off-roading.

Mine too, but how many other people would take theirs out? They are "too pretty" for most people to get all dirty ,scratched and dented, I guess.

The ones I have seen at National Parks come with little nails. I always think they are cool, and then never buy them for whatever reason.

Originally posted by longball:I use my Garmin gps12map when I play golf. I have marked the center of each green and use the goto feature to give me distance from my ball to the green. I get the distance in feet up to 0.10miles. Is there any way I can get my gps to display the distance in yards? Does anyone make a gps that will display distance in yards?
You can switch it to display yards, at least on a Magellan. I have a SporTrack Map, and you switch it under Setup, Then go to Nav Units, and then switch to Miles/Yd/MPH, and you get yards instead of feet.

I think my wife has gone to about a quarter of the caches I've found, and I don't think she'd ever go to one on her own. I think she enjoys it to a point (meaning she would rather go find a cache than watch a sporting event). She likes to hold the GPSr and try to navigate to the cache location. I *REALLY* need to get her a unit of her own!

A better asinine comment would be if the originator of a thread, let's say this one, posts another topic with full knowledge of who the piratecaching.com folks were.
I'm confused, was that the sound of the gloves coming off, or the gauntlet being thrown down?

I was not pointing out what is stored in a cache, I was giving the dictionary definition of the word cache. It is clearly defined as "a hiding place", "A place of concealment", and a Store of goods.... concealed in a hiding place". Please don't derail my statement and try to make it something it isn't. I don't mean any offense to you, Woodsters, as I'm sure you didn't mean me any.
