I am planning on attend this year's World Science Fiction Convention in Yokohama. Are there any interesting caches that I should try to find? Are any other cachers planning on attending Worldcon?

hmmm, my queries just started arriving as well. It must have been stuck somewhere as well better late than never

I think that this is an example of one of the problem queries: http://www.geocaching.com/pocket/gcquery.a...dd-699a332590fe (URL for the problem query)

Every so often, I goof in trying to create a pocket query, but usually I spot my error and eventally succeed in running the query. Today, however, I tried running several queries and I got nothing back, even though my query list shows that the queries had run successfully ; I am wondering if others have experienced similar problems and figured out what the causes of such problems were.

I thank everyone for their offers, but I decided to drop Shelagh's Frog TB in a travel bug hotel in New Jersey. I will be closing this tread (though I plan to watch the progress (I hope) of this little frog).

In the past I have seen travel bugs wander around the New England area for quite a while. Since I live in southeastern Massachusetts (I picked up the travel bug on a day visit to the Berkshires) I would likely dropped off this TB in a cache significantly further away from its goal. Given the information sheet included with the TB itself, I (somewhat whimsically) wish to try to help the frog to reach its goal (as opposed to contiinuing its tour of New England).

I made several geo-goofs this past weekend and I am trying to undo some of them. In one case, I unthinkingly picked up a travel bug destined for the Great Lakes. The item in question is Shelagh's Frog TB (TBG632). Since I am not planning a trip to any Great Lake in the near future, I am willing to send the travel bug (USPS or other mutually agreeable delivery service) to someone who is willing to find a suitable Great Lake cache for the Frog. If interested, please send a message through my account on geocaching.com.

I have seen a number of references to a geocaching "Tube" map of London area caches, but this link is having problems. I should be in London for about two days in roughly a week. I would appreciate pointers to caches that might be of interest to the geocaching tourist. In particular, I want to know caches suitable for dropping off travel bugs. Thanks.

I am driving to the Pacific (from Massachusetts). I have some TBs headed for the sandy beach. Do people have recommendations for Calif. shore-side caches suitable for travel bugs?

Despite some recent claims to the contrary, I do not consider myself a newbie cacher. However, I am about to drive from Massachusetts to the Pacific and back; I am finding the selection of potential caches quite daunting (I certainly feel like a newbie in this task). I would like caches in interesting places, but not too difficult to reach (well, every cache is interesting to its owner ). I am a somewhat aleatoric in traveling, so I am not sure of my precise (or even general ) route (otherwise, this task would be simpler ) so I desire option for the various main east-west routes. Has anyone tried to compile such a list?

I, too, wish to make request for someone to take a picture as part of the locationless cache"Where's In A Name" GC3153 If I interpret the rules correctly, "capybaron" (227922766) should become 23 19.227 (using the Gavia correction) The geocaching maps do show Finnish caches near E 23 19.2xx (note 5 letter minimum rule). Is someone willing to take a picture at the above coordinate (showing the coordinate), post it and log on the "Where's In A Name" GC3153 page?

I am not sure if this thread is the correct one, but I did claim a find for the virtual cache Boston Light even though I am uncomfortable with the way I did so. I did take a park service tour of the island and I did email three of the five items to Ethan (Upper?). As mentioned in the log, I did not wait for a reply and, as far as I can tell, I did not have to wait for a reply (does someone read this webpage differently?). The problem is that all of my emails to Ethan have bounced; I got variations of the following error: In spite of the problems, I do think that this virtual cache is a worthy one. As fas as I can tell from Ethan's page, he is still active, but how does one contact him? Any advice on how to treat virtual caches in situations like this one?

I went to my local post office and sent the Gwaihir travel bug to Magooza. I hope that Gwaihir has an interesting kiwi sojourn.

I received two replies relatively quickly. I shall contact the two geocachers to see what would be best to do.

I have found, again, a travel bug destined for New Zealand. The TB is Gwaihir the Windlord (TBBC2B). I am very new to this forum stuff, but I am trying this post to see if someone might be willing to receive the travel bug and place Gwaihir in a kiwi cache; I will cover shipping, though if you know a geocacher traveling from Massachusetts to New Zealand, I will hand the travel bug off to them. Gwaihir has been bumping around the New England area for a while. Thanks. the Capybaron

I am just testing to see if this account works in the forums
