  1. I personally don't do much trading any more but I do carry some stuff that I'll stock up a kid friendly cache occasionally. No matter where the cache is it will most likely get "traded down". I just made a trip to one of my semi-remote caches to retrieve a stranded travel bug and while going through the logs saw that someone had traded out the pencils for the log and the sharpener.
  2. Good job Bro. Now change your avitar. Color or something. (Sorry, OT )
  3. I received a call from the wiild. Your TB has been rescued (log to come soon). My brother (wvhunter) is going to place it in a well visited cache to help it move along.
  4. My brother lives near this cache. I'll ask him if he can retrieve the TB this weekend.
  5. 1 dog and 1 cat The dog caches with as much as possible. The cat couldn't care less. Sit BooBoo sit, good dog.
  6. They were discussed a little bit here. "A waste is a terrible thing to mind" or something like that.
  7. Yes,and I have a TB over there now. Thanks for what you do teambeener and come home safe.
  8. I was at work yesterday with my account page open watching to see if my newest cache subission had been published. Hit refresh and said "what the heck" when it came up in the new format. Looks good and I like the additions. Thanks.
  9. This is from Magellans FAQ for the 310. Verify that the time and date information is correct. Make sure that the coordinates being displayed on the position screen approximately match your current position. If any of this information is incorrect, you will need to reinitialize your GPS receiver using the EZ Start function. Information regarding this process can be found in your user manual. Hope it helps some. Maybe there is a way to do a "hard reset".
  10. I'm with you on cheating. FTF's are only fun, when the bloodhounds aren't out cloddhopping around and ruining the location, just to get a FTF. We usually wait till they clear out. Run your PQ's on "My Account" if you're a Premium Member, it'll email them to you. September 17 by Team AlphaOmega (111 found) I had White Jeep "Stok" on my watchlist and saw it was placed in this cache. So before the cache was listed, me and D@nim@l embarked on the trip to get this cache. Took Stok. Left TB. Wait for it!
  11. I don't know if this is what you're looking for , but on top of the "Stats" page there is a link for "All cache finds". This will display a user's recent to oldest in order with the type of cache listed also.
  12. As the owner you can mark them as missing using the drop down menu on the right side of the page. I'm sorry the two I handled are missing. Kind of feel like I jinxed them somehow . Or it could be the cache I placed them in giving them bad karma as it seems that a lot of the TB's that pass through it come up MIA.
  13. Nah, can't be that. I'm on GC just fine here. not for me... Spoke too soon and jinxed myself. All gone here now.
  14. If it's still there at 5:30 it might be retrieved and moved on.
  15. Ummm, that's 528 feet, bucko. Don't push it. Wow... that was really picky. Maybe I should be a reviewer. Just stay out of our trailer parks.
  16. That's a good question about protecting the history of caching. I think the logs, both on line and in the original logbook records the history of a cache. You don't have to leave a seldom visited cache in place. El Diablo I don't want to get flamed for this metaphor, so if you feel the urge, resist. Getting rid of some old caches that would be very worthwhile would be senseless. Archiving it because it is old, is like pushing elderly people out of society because they do not have as much production as younger people do. In Europe, they think that when an elder in the community dies, it is like a library burning down. Alot of knowledge and history fades. Don't archive a cache because it's old, archive it because it no longer, or possibly never has, been suffice to call itself a geocache. If it's an old Gatorade container from 2001 placed in a stump, where the cache has sustained substantial water damage, the log hasn't been replaced, "swag" value has depleted, then archiving it and waiting for a new cache to come along may be a good idea. We can't be selfish with our 528 foot circles and lay claim on them forever, but sometimes a cache is so good, the locals wouldn't want that cache archived for the world. I'm not talking about archiving a cache because it's old. There are a lot of caches out there that are old and still viable. My thought is that if the cache has been found by the majority of the locals, then it has lived it's life. The very first cache I ever found is still in place, I even help maintain it. There are great seniments attached to that cache. It is owned by a very good friend. Now the question is, should it be archived to open up the area? Yes! As much as I would miss seeing the very first cache that I found archived, I think it should be. It gets less than a log every month or two. El Diablo Well, the Gatorade container with the waterlogged and...the whole "anti climatic" description was my first find. After getting so hyped into geocaching, finding that one really made me think I over anticipated it. And every cache since I liked, but my first find, I want that cache archived, to save others from the pain of seeing the cache. Your log doesn't make it seem so painful " July 4 by Team AlphaOmega (42 found) Very nice hike yesterday in later day around 7PM. The primitive camping area was very pretty. A tip for any of you reading this, the GPS will point you downhill towards the lake to get there, instead stay uphill for the walk is much easier. Alot of bushwacking and the mosquitoes were swarming, but the hike was pretty and the coordinates were dead on. Everything is perfect inside, no water damage or anything. Thanks for the nice short hike."
  17. Markwell has a very good explanation.
