  1. Hi, I was wondering how car decal travel bugs work? I was browsing the World Caching store and came across this product: http://worldcaching.com/catalog/product_in...products_id=303 The description doesn't help me out too much. How can someone track it? It comes with 2 decals and a set of metal TB tags. Can someone please explain this to me? I like the idea of the decal because it doesn't say geocaching.com on it and I like the whole mystery of it. Only geocachers would know what it means. Thanks to anyone who can clarify this for me!
  2. This is a GREAT topic. Being new geocaching (and therefore the logging process), I am not as familiar with the experience or expectations of logging. Luckily, I am actually a writer (not as a profession, but it is just something that comes naturally to me) - so just like in real life, I tend to be verbose. I think it is fun to share with the cache owner and others who may read the logs a little of what my experience was like hunting for their cache. I of course, like to add humor, because I enjoy witty remarks others make too. However, now that I am a cache owner (as of just this week), I ESPECIALLY appreciate the "lost art of logging". I agree, as a placer of a cache, you go through some heavy homework and effort to get one placed and approved and you wanna hear something more than TNLN or some acronym variation of the sort. In all fairness to cachers though... if a cache is not in an interesting location or it is really easy or obvious, there is probably not much to say. But the ideas provided in this original post are great considerations to pull some sort of comment out and add a little description to the log. Now, in a related subject, you know what bothered me with my first placed cache? I left some "swag" for the FTF cacher (I believe swag refers to goodies you leave behind that a cacher can take and keep - correct me if I am wrong please)... and the FTF cacher never acknowledged it in their log. I mean it wasn't super valuable but it did have some symbolism and meaning and the least they could have done was say THANKS... too much to ask?! Oh well, I don't want to end this on a negative note, so I hope lots of people read this thread and realize the value in writing a good log. And by the way, good doesn't have to mean long (kinda like this reply, ).
  3. My story: A friend of mine in Miami, FL discovered geocaching and was adventurous enough to get started. He brought along a friend and they partnered up hunting caches with his new gps. When I arrived for a visit they took me along and I INSTANTLY knew this would be addiciting. I returned to Ohio and a couple months later got my own gps and started hunting on my own, and later have dragged along a few friends too. I now have more finds than both of them and my friend says he is going to report me to the GAA (Geocaching Addicts of America) - lol!
  4. I am still very new at this so I had a hard time figuring this out myself. I ended up picking up some cool little items from the craft store, or even the craft section at Walmart. I do of course like the idea of customized signature items, I just haven't been creative enough to think of anything worth branding yet... Good luck!
  5. Lol... I had no idea what a "luker" meant until I opened this post, which by the way - the only reason I opened it was because "Introduce yourself" was in the subject. Seeing as I am new to geocaching, the website, and as of yesterday, this forum - I figured a solid introduction was a great way to kick off the geocaching experience! I did however discover what lurking meant and I guess that is what I have been doing tonight. I do plan on being more active as I have questions or just want to learn more about geocaching. I am noticing that I have ALOT to learn, but I also have been a very fast learner, doing the majority of my cache finds just this month and placed 2 already (a third is pending approval). Now for the introduction... I will spare any boring details and what you can read for yourself on my profile. Hahaha, actually there is nothing I can add here that isn't already on my profile. Is it bad I just send you there if you are really interested? Well, I am looking forward to meeting some NICE and FRIENDLY geocachers through these forums... I did come across some of those hostile threads some people have referenced... I had to leave those because I didn't want to read all that negativity and rudeness! Until later! Let's go geocaching.
  6. Ok... I consider the question closed. Thanks!
  7. I think once it has been sent you will have to wait the seven days. But then again there may be someone in the forums that knows something I don't. Thanks... I was hoping a site Administrator might be able to help with this one... otherwise, I wait.
  8. Hello... I am new to geocaching, so this website and its features are all very new to me still. I was hoping someone could let me know if I can access an already emailed Pocket Query with info on all my finds. I ran the pocket query yesterday (which apparently can only be run every 7 days) and it was sent to my address linked with my account. The problem is that email address is for my cell phone and it removed the file, thereby making it inaccessible. Next time I will temporarily change my email address and have it go to a non-phone email address (which translates emails into MMS messages) and then I should get the file no problem. However, in the meantime, and as opposed to waiting 7 days, I am wondering if anyone could help me out as far as getting that file emailed to me again or if I can access it online anywhere. Thanks for your review and comments!
