I've passed up a few caches because they were SO far up a tree, it wasn't even funny.

I usually have some extra paper on me and will add it if the log is full or too damp to use.

Can someone tell me what a "virtual drop" drop is? I created an account for my niece earlier this year and recently added a trackable tag to her account and sent it out to do some traveling. It got picked up and then a few days later, dropped in a cache via a virtual drop.

I've noticed this with a couple trackable items that I've got floating around Germany, France and the Netherlands. Not that it's a big deal but... I do have to do the whole google translate thing everytime they move. It does seem as though things should "auto" translate to what the language is on the device a person is using.

I found one live 12 gag shell and a handful of live 9 mil rounds in a cache that had been archived around a year ago. I was out near my parents cabin and was curious if it had been removed even though it had been archived. I took a look at the logbook and it looks as though people are still signing it with several dates marked as found within the last month.

I use both. My phone is old and the GPS has become unreliable. It does the job when in an urban environment because of the grid format of cities. Once I get out into the countryside, I'll switch over to the my Garmin etrex touch 25.

As a dude that only does solo caching, I give playgrounds and schools a wide birth.

I did the whole "cache in trash out" thing and threw away a pathtag I found by mistake. I found it at the start of a cache run and started filling just one of my pants pockets with trash as I went along. When I got back to the parking lot, I headed for the trash can and emptied that 1 pocket. A few hours later, I realized that the pocket I had emptied, was the pocket I put the pathtag in.... Argggg!

I recently circled back and found a DNF from a month or two ago. When I opened it, there was no log sheet to be found. There had been a number of people that had found it since I marked it as a DNF. I'm curious as to how many people (past and present) have actually didn't find it but marked it as found. I did message the cache owner that there was no log sheet, but still waiting to hear back.

It's a question to strike up a conversation.

Checking the cities website or emailing the city to find out what their rules are for geocaches usually works.

Currently trying to get my 5th posted. I've found it's a bit tricking trying to hide when there's a Wherigo in the area.

Look into the Rite In The Rain brand. That should help out.

My phone randomly decided to not load caches. I had restarted my phone, and nothing. So I figured I'd come on that forum to pock around a bit. Your suggestion on logging out and signing back in again worked. Thank you.

That's cool. Could a wrench be considered some sort of vice?

That looks like some kinda vice?

Too funny...

Try signing out, then sign back in again. I've had a couple of glitches that seemed to have been fixed when I did that.

I got the magnet for my car and marked it as not a collectable. If someone takes it off at some point, I'm fine with that.

I'm really liking the idea of a trackable tattoo.

What's the word count that you're looking for from the cacher? In my case, I'm not a big talker or wordsmith. So trying to write multiple paragraphs on the spot about how I'm feeling about a nice (or cool) hike... My brain goes blank.

I'm still thinking of doing it. I may have something that will work well.

Partially? Just sayin that water can sometimes find a way.

I've found a few brand new ammo placed upside down where water was still able to make it past the gasket into the can.

I haven't, just being a bit of a smart-a**
