  1. I have had the experience of holding a bug a little too long. I did know they would be held about three weeks and either posted a note or emailed the owner. I felt the owner would be happy to know the bug was not lost or forgotten. I did let them know they would be in for a long trip, but not how long or where. It left just a little intrigue left to ponder. I did push them to their goals, though. Lately, I have just been picking them up in a cache and moving them a couple miles and dropping them the same day. I also keep in mind traffic to a cache so they will be picked up quickly. I would rather see a TB moved 6-10 times in a month a short distance than have them sit. That way several cachers have the option to enjoy the bug.
  2. I have made the jump up to premium membership (Should have done it a while ago) and was wondering how long it took others to get the membership upgrade when sending a check???
  3. Ok I can't resist. TNLNLL Took nothing left nothing left log!
  4. I put in an order Friday, they are in transit today, deliver wednesday! Not bad service!!!! Thanks Jeremy and team!
  5. Any way to record their IP address? Maybe we can send out a vigilante mob....
  6. The Sacramento Indo Cache is great I left a TB there the other day. VERY safe! The Roseville TB inn is also secure. Quite a number in the area also.
  7. I agree with this absolutely! I also have held TB's a little longer than I should. We all have good intentions. Now I usually just pick up a bug, write down the #, and put it in another cache the same day. Does not always move far, but gets it moving!
  8. You will have a great time at the event. I went from California to Texas recently and went to an event. I had a GREAT time, MET THE MOST FANTASTIC PEOPLE, learned some tricks, and traded Travelbugs! Good luck and happy caching!!!
  9. What a wonderful idea! How about being able to run a search for wheelchair accessable caches? My mom has recently been placed in a wheelchair and has truly enjoyed the art of caching until now. This enforces my concept of "caching for all!!!!'
  10. Tell me where your next cache attack will be and I will have my wife there to trade.
  11. Sorry but it actually made me chuckle. There are poor sports in every aspect of life. He sounds like a real fun guy. Really getting into the enjoyment and flavor of the sport. Hope a couple finds puts him in a better mood!
  12. Just got #50 today!! I want 100 more in 2004! Secondly, I will attend at least 4 events. Other than that the usual.
  13. I have to agree with Sparky here. Leave something you would be happy to find. Too many caches get trashy with useless junk. It doesn't matter what I find, but it makes it more enjoyable for kids. Good luck!
  14. I bought a pair of "Vendramini" Italian backpacking boots in 1975. I have backpacked with them every year except 2 since. Great for caching and seem to be indestructable!
  15. If you got the Map76 you will like it! I have been using mine to navigate on the water for a couple years and it pulled me out of some nasty predicaments. Works great for caching! You might not use the tides/fishing features, but the sunrise/sunset will come into use a lot. Lots of good features. Welcome to the club!!! Happy caching!
  16. Once you enter a log for a cache find, It automatically gets entered as a find on your account.
  17. I went caching in Tahoe in October and looked at lots of cache placement in the area. There are a lot of 5's for terrain that would be great for skiing or snowshoeing to. You have a rare and unique oportunity where you can choose the difficulty of the cache. Check out the ones in the Mount Rose area! I wonder if a cache is a five in good weather, can it be a 6 in the snow????? We city slickers have to come to you to get the really great ones.
  18. I agree. They should have talked to you first and: #1 Asked if you wanted to find it together #2 Asked if they could go ahead and find it first(maybe they were on a high number run) #3 Let you find it and come back later. I agree, it would have spoiled the fun!! Just bad manners.
  19. I agree a grade school cache would probably get an interview with a policeman, but like I say the college campuses here are quite huge with a lot of remote areas. Tahoe was the same way.
  20. What are the rules applying to placing a cache on school property??? I could not see any reference. Some schools have lots of property that is not really close to classrooms and is quite remote. ie:colleges
