In 2022 on the day theyGS tried to break the record for the # of caches found there were 3 events separated by approximately 10 miles or more and at 10AM, 2PM, and 6 PM. Almost all the attendees were at all 3. And that day you had to drive through the area of the local NFL stadium while people were heading to the preseason game between events 2 and 3. No problems and all within the rules.

I had a stroke 9 years ago. Found my next one about 8 weeks later using a walker. Found only 5 that year after it. Found 9273 before and 1916since then.

I can see the negative version being used in jest, the way the "No Snowmobiles" attribute (the negative of the "Snowmobiles" attribute) is used in the San Francisco Bay Area in jest. (Although technically it's accurate, because no one can use snowmobiles where it never snows.)
Beat me to it. Like you, I used to live in the SF area. I remember so many caches with the no snowmobiles attribute. I have 498 finds with the no snowmobiles attribute from when I lived there.

Have you refreshed the list?
I had logged then as found, went to Project GC and several other sites. The went back to Geocaching. I make lists of unfound for each town in my and the adjoining county.. When I am done for the day, I go and delete the founds from the lists. I even missed one list nd went to delete the founds this morning after my laptop was off overnight and the ones on that list still had the exclamation point icon.

Yesterday found 5 caches and saved logs as drafts on phone. Show up as found on cache pages and on stat pages but when going to lists to delete them they still have the draft icon (exclamation point).

What other hobby can you enjoy for US $40 year plus the cost of gas?

I use the Brave browser on my MacBook Air when . I have problems on GC with Safari. Much better security.

If you're not bloody and/or dirty, it wasn't a good day of geocaching.

I think it's the recaptcha, not GS. i had a problem with the recaptcha on a utility bill site (electricity). Would click the done box and it would throw me back to the page before the photo appeared.

If t is a non sequential AL you should be able to attempt to answer and get the no signal reply. the app will remember you tried and when you are in cell range, hit should allow you to answer it. There is one in a state park near me and the owner told people to do that because there was no cell service at on of the AL stages. I did one this week in a town where we have a monthly event. It was sequential and on the stage I did just before the event, I couldn't think of the third word I had to enter. aWent to the event that was about a half mile away and thought of the word I needed there. Entered it there and it worked. That was way outside the 100 foot or so geofence that each stage had. As long as you are inside the geofence when you attempt to answer, I think the app remembers.

Found one about 15-20 years ago (long since archived) that was in the middle of the interstate. Thing was that there was a drain pipe (that you could stand up in) that was accessible from a park on one side of the highway. In the highway median was an access way that went up to the surface with a ladder. The cache was on the bottom of the ladder.

Geocaching down with Mac OS 13.3.1 on Safari and Brave browsers. App on iPhone working fine.

Safri sometimes works,sometimes doesn't. I use the Brave browser.

Worked in biotech before I retired(molecular biology). We called them Eppie tubes. Used thousands and thousands of them.

There is a puzzle cemetery cache near me (the final is in the public park outside the cemetery). it involves going to 25 graves and getting info about the gravestones (like how many flowers on he back, count the bars on the window of the crypt, etc.) of famous or semi-famous residents. It is in the largest cemetery in the area and if that feels daunting, there are brochures available with the locations and info on 75 famous people buried there. In he summer they even have a tram tour you can take around the cemetery. The graves are for such people as Rick James (rock star), Millard Filmore (US President~1850), and Willis Carrier (the inventor of air conditioning).

Still a problem. Get it with the most recent MacOS. Tried with Brave browser and I can delete found and archived caches from lists. Maps work and Message Center works too OK in Brave but not in Safari.

There are a seres of adventure labs that go along the 250 mile paved hiking/biking trail that goes along the Erie Canal in NY state from Buffalo to Albany.

I had the same problem with a recaptcha at the electric company's web site when I was paying a bill last week. Had to call the utility and pay it by speaking to person. Using a Ma Book Air with most recent OS.
-
Been getting the same since May. Safari 16.1 on a MacBook Air Ventura 13.0.1.
Reloading helps. Just the other day, can't delete archived caches from my lists.
Works OK on other browsers on same machine.

I had a nano on a footbridge that was rated a D1.T1. It was literally a 1 terrain as it was about a foot off the pavement and could be reached by anyone in wheelchair. People were DNFing it. People were not reading the page as I had people saying they had to go in the gully under the bridge (itself a 1.5T) and some hiding there own replacement under the bridge when they couldn't find the nano even though it was there. Had to put a large font notice on the page that it was a T1and a nano. Finally archived it in February when someone said that the footbridge had been removed.

The iOS did not update the last two nights. This AM it asked me if I wanted to update and it did. The Geocaching App now works fine. I also had problems with podcasts before the OS updated. That is also now working fine.

On Facebook there is a Central Valley Cachers group that covers Ceres,Turlock, Modesto and many other towns.Even though I haven't lived in CA for 8 years I still am a member of that group. It is a private group, so if you are interested, send me a line and i will send you an invite.

Did that . After reinstall, it freezes on turn on location services screen.Location services already on. Also have Cachly installed. That works fine. Like to have both so I can tell if one or the other is not accurate.

from living in CT about 30 years ago, even then it had a higher crime rate than surrounding areas. An example is Compton, CA. Thousand all over the LA area but only 1 cache(a virtual) in front of the city hall.
