First of all I've met jtd18801 while caching and I assure you that calling him "illiterate" is not even remotely correct. Anyway...
The cheapest new GPS I've seen is $49.Would you mind sharing what and where this GPS is? Even if it's not that great it could make a good one to throw in the glove box.

My new most treasured caching related item is a Moun10Bike pin.
I have a sig pin as well, and a bunch of my friends like to collect them too. -
If I was the owner of the bug I would hope that you'd log it in/out of the micro you did. I wouldn't care so much about the miles as much as I would the chance to add another state to the list that it's been to.

I've only ever gotten 2 FTF prizes. One was a really cool small bead that looked like a globe. I'm sure it was not expensive, but I like it. The other was a trail book & topo maps of the Finger Lakes trail/region in NY. I've got a soft spot for the Finger Lakes, so some friends and I kind of went out of the way to be first on that cache. I'm sure that was more around $10-15.
As for ones I left, I've only left a FTF prize once. It was a CD with pictures I had taken while caching on it. The guy who took it never looked at them...
but subsequent ones that I've left in caches have been well received. I'm actually going to start leaving 2nd and 3rd to find prizes (instead of 1st) in my caches this summer, but I haven't decided on just what they will be. -
The responsible thing to do, then, would be for the local geocaching community to remove the caches and submit SBA logs that clearly state that the caches were removed.
Should her caches that are in fine shape be archived, too? For someone with nothing but a travel bug logged you seem to have formed a very steadfast opinion on what should be done with abandoned caches. From what other people have said it seems the majority of cachers would prefer that the caches remain. It may not be the original container, in the same spot, etc. like you said, but it's still a cache that can be found.
I do agree with you that nothing, if possible, should be changed on an adopted cache. On mine I just added "(Adopted)" to the end of the name and didn't change anything, including the hiding spot. As for the history being save, yeah it is, but on a totally different page that no one will see unless you link to it (and people actually click on it).

I see little point in preserving the former listing for what is essentially a new cache.
The history of past finds on the cache page.

If anything I think the rules on adoption are too strict. There was a group of cachers in my area that quit due to reasons that wont be mentioned, but suffice it to say they had a lot of caches hidden. I adopted 3 of them and got the required permit for one that was in a state park. The other two are along a really cool gorge trail, and in between them is another cache that's been abandoned since July 24, 2004. It was getting to be in bad shape, and eventually it went missing.
I contacted someone about adopting it but they told me I needed permission from the owner. After over a month of trying to contact her I came up empty handed. Even her personal friends hadn't heard from her in months. After this I tried to get a "non-consensual" adoption. I wanted to replace it, but I was told to hold off on doing so, because if TPTB see it's there and being logged they wont think there's something wrong and would deny my request for the adoption. One month and a day later I was told I couldn't adopt it, and the cache could be archived if I wanted to place my own there. Needless to say I replaced it after getting that email. If I wanted to see a 2002 cache get archived I could have posted the needs to be archived note myself.
Finally, about 3 months later I've gotten word from a friend that she's been in contact with the owner. She's not really even on the internet anymore, and I'm hoping she'll decided to put all of her caches up for adoption. She has caches hidden all over the state and many are in need of maintenance. If she doesn't I'm afraid they'll all just sit there as geo-trash sometime in the future.

I enjoy reading logs by Feathers, who uses a lot of smilies.

Are virtuals located in a national wildlife refuge reviewed in any different way, since physical caches are barred from being placed there?

As this thread has gotten more and more posts it seems that people are missing the one short sentence part of it.

I wish someone would make "I found Yellow Jeep Fever" shirts.

Because my uncle lives in Rhode Island and is a boater.

The difficult is overrated by at least 2 1/2 stars.
I agree, this one isn't very tough, although it is a good idea... Nevermind, I was wrong. The puzzles win again. Anyway...
In a Finntroll's Dark Moor is the only puzzle cache I've hidden that's "hard". I actually wanted to lower the rating, but everyone in the area told me to leave it alone.
I suck at puzzles, so it's not suprising that this one has me utterly stumped. I don't know where to start... so I never have.
By the way, don't give away the solutions to either of these in a post. I'm sure no owner of a puzzle cache would appreciate it.

Welch, the original poster for the original Woodstock music festival in 1969 had a guitar neck with that bird perched on it. That's why the bird is on the top of Florida.
I was kind of wondering what the bird was for, too. Thanks for explaining that. Here's a picture I found of the poster.

Doc-Dean, that's probably the best looking coin I've seen. I can't wait to get mine! Thanks for posting the picture.
-
I've had a cache approved in about 5 minutes before, in the days before the storm. NY seems to get caches listed quickly.

I agree that not every coin should have its own icon, even if it is trackable on the gc.com site. Somehow I got the impression that the GW3 coins were going to have one, and it seemed believable.
By the way, I do really like the design of the GW3 coins. Are there any scans of an actual coin yet, or do I have to wait until the event.
-
That doesn't answer any of the questions I asked. I mean the icon on the website.
-
I noticed that Jeremy said in another thread that the Geowoodstock 3 coins are being added as a "new type". Does this mean they're going to have a unique icon? If so, is there a mock up of it anywhere?

Since people deserve rights and not the fetish (or behavior if you prefer) they choose to identify themselves with (I don't march in Hetro Pride demontrations for example)
fetish?!? wow. that's so appallingly distasteful and insulting i don't even know WHERE to begin.
I felt the same way but wasn't going to say anything, but since Flask did I'll second her comment. That was easily the most ignorant thing I've seen anyone say on these forums.
Anyway, back on the geocaching topic... About the guy who had a problem with Junglehair being the president of NYGO and also trashing out religious material, what's the problem? She said that she trades for it, so what does it matter if she wants to refer to it "trashing out"? Would it have been better if she'd typed "remove"? I cringe every time I hear the word muggle, but I'm not going to hold it against people who say it.
-
Just got my coins today in NY. Very nice design! All 3 are not sequential, though. Somehow I managed to get #104, despite being one of the last to order. Thanks, Ibycus.

So advertising on the site, that everyone sees, is different?
I have a sig pin as well, and a bunch of my friends like to collect them too.
but subsequent ones that I've left in caches have been well received. I'm actually going to start leaving 2nd and 3rd to find prizes (instead of 1st) in my caches this summer, but I haven't decided on just what they will be.

You just don't like caches named after Norse mythology.
I'm not sure what you're asking, but I just like to have a spare with me. Hey, it can't hurt.
