    Unofficial statement about STATS

    The stats are already there for anyone who wants to go to the trouble of finding them.

    It might be nice if it were easier to access them.

     

    BTW, I may have created a monster... my wife got two FTF's in the last two days. The first one was my fault for calling her and telling her that a new cache had just been placed in a location we intended to use.

    I enhanced the cache insert for accidental finders...

    I thought it could use a splash of color - for those who have access to a color laser printer... inkjet prints smear when they get moist (color or B&W), but color laser prints are made by a thermal process and are quite stable. BTW, if you have only inkjet, a xerox copy of it will survive dampness far better than the inkjet printout.

     

    I sent a copy to the Geocache Site Admin, but in the meantime I figured I'd see what y'all think of it.

     

    If you have a Yahoo! account, you should be able to access the file.

     

    If This doesn't work, go here.

     

    If anyone wants to host it where it'd be easier to access, go ahead and either get it from the link above, or email me and I'll send it to you.

    GEOCACHING CONTAINER

    in How do I...?

    Posted

    It's funny how people think a terrorist would use something obvious like an ammo box rather than an old "Tickle Me Elmo" doll or something.

     

    I did just come up with a great idea for a cache container though...

     

    Any kind of junk, like a gutted lawnmower engine. Maybe an old VW head, machined out...

    the valve covers clip on nicely.

    Narrator: "Joining Larry are Pa Grape and Mr. Lunt,

    who together make up the infamous gang of scalliwags,

    the Pirates Who Don't Do Anything!"

     

    Larry, Pa, Mr. Lunt: "We are the Pirates Who Don't Do

    Anything! We just stay home and lie around. And if you

    ask us to do anything, we'll just tell you ..."

     

    Larry: "We don't do anything!"

     

    Pa: "Well, I've never been Greenland and I've never

    been to Denver, and I've never buried treasure in

    St. Louis or St. Paul, and I've never been to Moscow

    and I've never been to Tampa, and I've never been to

    Boston in the fall."

     

    All: "'Cuz we're the Pirates Who Don't Do Anything!

    We just stay home and lie around. And if you ask us

    to do anything, we'll just tell you..."

     

    Mr. Lunt: "We don't do anything... And I never hoist

    the mainstay and I never swab the poop deck, and I

    never veer to starboard 'cuz I never sail at all, and

    I've never walked the gang plank and I've never owned

    a parrot, and I've never been to Boston in the fall."

     

    All: "'Cuz we're the Pirates Who Don't Do Anything!

    We just stay at home and lie around. And if you ask us

    to do anything, we'll just tell you... We don't do anything!"

     

    Larry: "Well, I've never plucked a rooster and I'm not

    too good at ping-pong, and I've never thrown my mashed

    potatoes up against the wall, and I've never kissed a

    chipmunk and I've never gotten head lice, and I've never

    been to Boston in the fall!"

     

    Pa: "Huh? What are you talking about? What's a rooster and

    mashed potatoes have to do with being a pirate??"

     

    Mr. Lunt: "Hey, that's right! We're supposed to sing about

    pirate-y things!"

     

    Larry: "Oh ..."

     

    Pa: "And who ever kissed a chipmunk? That's just nonsense!

    Why even bring it up? Am I right? What do you think?"

     

    Mr. Lunt: "I think you look like Cap'n Crunch!"

     

    Pa: "Huh? No I don't!"

     

    Mr. Lunt: "Do too."

     

    Pa: "Do not!"

     

    Mr. Lunt: "You're making me hungry."

     

    Pa: "That's it, you're walkin' the plank!"

     

    Mr. Lunt: "Says who?"

     

    Pa: "Says the captain, that's who!"

     

    Mr. Lunt: "Oh, yeah? Aye aye, Cap'n Crunch!"

     

    Larry: "And I've never licked a spark plug and I've never

    sniffed a stink bug, and I've never painted daisies on a

    big red rubber ball, and I've never bathed in yogurt and I

    don't look good in leggings ..."

     

    Pa: "You just don't get it!"

    Is this guy legit?

    Ever think about telling your kids not to touch the cache until you get there?

     

    Not only is it safer for them, it lets you see how the cache was hidden so that you will be able to leave it in the same condition you found it.

     

    You can also teach your kids that they shouldn't touch knives, guns, lighters or used condoms (which can be a problem in some places when the parking area get visited at night).

    Geocachers vs Cavers....continued?

    in General geocaching topics

    Posted

    To summarize my viewpoint:

     

    Place & Post the cache.

    Find out if the cave is very dangerous,

    or just a walk in the park.

    Warn people as to the actual risk level of the cave.

    Ask that people respect the cave by not defacing

    it or taking anything out of it.

    Let people decide for themselves what they are going to do with the information.
