    Stealth Technique

    in General geocaching topics

    Posted

    Sorry - I dont know what happened to my original post, so here it is again.. If I dont get a lot of replys I'll try and start the thread again. Please keep the thread alive...

     

    Whats the farthest extreme you've gone to get a cache with muggles everywhere? Pretend to tie your shoe? Dropped your keys? Wear a meter reader uniform? Postal outfit? A white shirt and a clipboard? Tell me your most exciting cache involving stealth/ninja skills. Sorry if there have been similar threads, but I'm a noob.

    At the beach last week I had to sit on the hot sand and pretend to dump out my shoes to put a log back.

    I carry a notebook with all my print outs in it so I hope I look official, in the woods I probably look silly

    Who Can Translate English to German?

    in All Nations

    Posted · Edited by Five Frazers

    I have a travel bug stuck with a cacher in Germany. The problem is he has been with the cacher for over two weeks. I sent the owner a message two times and he never replied back. I think he only knows how to speak German so I need a cacher to translate English to German for me. If you can do it please email me and I will send you the message. Thanks for the help!

    This works, not great but well enough.

    Cache Puzzles

    in How do I...?

    Posted

    Where do I start on learning to solve geocache puzzles? For example, this cache requires solving a puzzle but there is no instructions on how to solve it. Is there a standard puzzle used for geocaching?

     

    Thank you for any info!

    Stand about 20 feet from a brick wall and bend over. Run as fast as you can. When you wake up you will see the answer printed on the inside of your eye lids :laughing: No really this is how I solve them.............

    WHoo hoo our 1st family hunt!

    All day geocaching bike trip (Sandy Hook - Red Bank, NJ)

    in General geocaching topics

    Posted

    Hi,

     

    I am going on all-day geocaching trip this Saturday. I am going to start east of Twin Lighthouse in Highlands, NJ sometime between 8:00 and 8:30 am and travel on my bicycle thru Sandy Hook, then Monmouth Beach and Red Bank, NJ. Total about 30 miles. There are close to 15 geocaches hidded along the route so I figured that with lunch, geocaching, frequent stops, the whole trip will take about whole day. If you are interested, you are welcome to join me. This is not going to be a race but leisure trip (I am taking my mountain bike so the road bike stays at home this time). Of course you need some training to get you thru 30+ miles of biking/geocaching in over 80F weather.

     

    Here is link to the picture of the map with planned route: link

    I no longer live in NJ but if I did I would be there. Sounds like an awesome day. I hope you plan something next time I am home

    eee pc as gps?

    Until we could get our hand held we used our laptop with Microsoft streets and maps. It actually got us closer then my Garmin now does, but yes we were the silly ones you may have seen walking up hill in the woods with a laptop and the GPS reciever on my hat.(No kidding)

    Should I log visits when I don't find the cache?

    in How do I...?

    I went out looking for a nearby cache this morning while walking my dog. We found the location, but not the cache, so I'd like to go back another day and look a bit harder.

     

    Should I log my "not found" visit if I plan on going back again? I'm not sure how the site works, and I fear that if I mark it as "not found" that I won't be able to mark it as "found" later on. I also don't want the cache owner to fear that his cache has gone missing (because it's likely just in a good hiding spot).

     

    What's the normal procedure for this? Should I even bother logging it on the site if I haven't found the actual cache?

    Its up tp you to log a DNF or not. If you do you can always change it once you find it. <_< Welcome!

    The Legend I was mentioning is a more expensive model so I assume better. I may exchange since is looks like the cost of the cable for the H would cost more then just switching for the better model.

    Thanks for all the help. We just love caching and we havce done all in our area that is pratical with a pc gps. We are in a hurry to get back out there.

    Thanks for the help guys. I will try again this pm. I thought this was going to be so simple. After spending 4 or 5 minutes changing each number I made some sort of mistake the GPS said the cache was 704 miles away. Grrrrr

    Is the legend more user friendly?

    OK There has never been an electronic object I met I could not figure out until now. So just call me an idiot because I keep heaing how simple the Etrex H is to work but I cant get it to do a darn thing.

    I want to put cords in and find a cache. Where do you put the cords you want to go to and how? Yes I read the book and it never says how to take N 28 49.622 W097 00.960 and get it into the gps.....
