There was a multi-cache in Elmira, New York - that contained $500. Obviously, the first person to find the last part of the multi-cache got $500. How about that for a FTF cache prize? If only the hider of this cache hid more caches like that in Syracuse New York....what'd I like to do with $500 Environmental Explorer

I know!!! A few weeks ago I placed a geocache called "Wait, that's not a Walnut." I filled out the online form at around 1:00pm., and by 5:00pm. the same day it had been approved. I was flabergasted, and elated at the same time. Cheers to all those fast geocache approvers!!! Environmental Explorer Make a difference, save the environment

Yeah - Sl33py and I went geocaching for 4 hours and found 9 geocaches once in Zero [0] degree weather. Lets just say that i spent about an hour in a hot shower after this geocaching adventure. Believe me - it gets really cold in Syracuse, New York Environmental Explorer

Hey, does anyone know when this new l"ocationless cache part"of the website will appear. I'd like to know so I can start getting ready to make some locationless caches. Thanks for all the interesting input on this topic - Environmental Explorer Make a difference - recycle paper - save a life

I have a few extreme cache stories. My favorite one is when I was a beginner with my friend Zach. As a beginner - Zach and I would never stay on the paths and would always chose the most direct route. Later I would learn that this was a stupid idea. Anyway, Zach and I were going to go find Richard's Park Cache in Syracuse New York. And.....we took the most direct route from 481 [road.] SOO, firstly, Zach and I had to trudge through literally a swamp of mud and other yucky stuff. Luckily for me, only my shoes got encased in green, icky mud. But Zach's slip on shoe got stuck in the mud and he got his whole foot and sock encased in the grotesque substance. Anyway..we kept on going. AND what do you know we ran into stream [and through all this, Zach has no shoes on, and we are bushwaking through thorns, poison ivy, etc.] So, we have to pull up are pants, and wade through the murky water!!!! Then after this we came to ANOTEHR STEAM. This time the stream was to deep to wade across. Flustered and angry, Zach and I are screaming at each other and insulting each other for what the other should have done. Walking downstream a little, we found a skinny, slippery wooden log. Not knowing anything else to do - Zach and I lightly and slowly went across it. As Zach said, it was like the movies. After this we bushwaked for about 20 more minutes and finally came to the cache. HORRAY!!! I had y cuts all over my legs!! Yeah!! Wait a second....now we gotta go back. To make a long story short, Zach and I went back - and ended up making my mom REALLY REALLY MAD for making her wait so long for us to do this "geo thingy" as she called it. Moral of the story - if you want an extreme adventure - go off the path - and take the direct root to the cache - It's fun Environmental Explorer Make a difference - save the environment

That's a really cool idea. I wonder what my favorite cache would be...HMMMMMMMM probably one of my one Environmental Explorer Make a difference - save the environment

Anyone here likes locationless geocaches? I do. Some people think there not "real geocaching." I could argue both ways. Well, as most of you all know - there is no way to create a locationless geocache. I can see why. If geocachers had the option to make a locationless geocache today---I'd bet there be thousands of new ones by the end of the week! So i can see why, the geocaching website has banned the creation of new locationless caches. But I still like to find them. For someone like me who doesn't travel to much...there preety cool. SOOOOO, if you could make a locationless geocache, what would it be? If I had the option to make a locationless geocache-I'd make two locationless caches called - "Playgrounds across America" - and "Large, beautiful, Stain Glass Windows." What about you? Pictures would be nice. Have fun "making" your locationless geocahes and letting us know your ideas. Environmental Explorer - Save the Environment -

I'm sort of a "beginner" at geocache I guess, so I've never heard of something like this done before. It sounds really cool though---keeping track of your "geocaching mileage." Maybe I'll try something like that with one of my travel bugs. Thanks for the cool idea!! Environmental Explorer Make a difference - save the environment

I personally love Virtual caches. Maybe that's because I love solving puzzles and learning. Anyway, what do you think is the coolest virtual cache. Don't give away any answers or anything - but why do you like this virtual cache? Was is it a hard puzzle Environmental Explorer

Luckily, this was my first locationless cache a while ago. But, no so lucky for my friend Sl33py------he really wanted to do this cache and just saw a bunck of yellow jeeps!!!!! What can you do. That's life. I know that the grandma toy was stretching the limit, but did they have to archive the cache? Environmental Explorer Make a difference - save the environment - recycle

Yeah I love putting C-Ds in caches. My good friend is in a band - and his band just made a C-D. They are going to go to a publishing company soon - and ask for a record deal. But before then - they want people to know who they are so that if they get a record deal, people will buy their CDs. SOOOOOOO, they gave me one of their home recorded CDs and told me to burn it as many times as possible. And they said to give it to as many people as possible. THE BAND IS CALLED-------------------------------Left handed Theives--------[they are a rock band that do not swear.] So, if you find a burned CD in a geocache labeled with LEFT HANDED THEIVES - it is ok to listen to it and burn it and give it to your friends. Overall, I like the idea of CDs in caching - its always a nice surprise to find a cd in a cache. Environmental Explorer Make a difference - save the environment

One time, my friend Sl33py and I were walking in the woods - looking for a cool spot to hide our new geocache. As we were strolling through the woods, we came upon this massive stump. It was about 5 feet high and was completely hollow. It looked like a preety cool spot to hide a geocache, right? Well, Sl33py and I ripped half the stump off to reach the bottom of the stump, and we found a white bin - marked with a messy black marker that said NAVAJO. Curious, Sl33py and I attempted to open the white bin. While doing this, we smelled something weird. Assuming it was the rotting stump, Sl33py and I kept trying to pry open the NAVAJO cache. And, when we finally got it open we found a dead, bloody, and mutilated critter. Whether it was a squirrel, mouse, or skunk - - it did not matter - - because the smell was HORRIBLE. It was the worse thing that I had ever smelled in my entire life. Disgusted, Sl33py and I ran away from the rancid stench, never to return again. That's my "finding something you didn't want to find" cache story,. Environmental Explorer Make a difference - save the environment

I'm just curious about who got you into geocaching. How did you get into geocaching? Where was your first cache find? My language arts teacher introduced me to the sport of geocaching and I have loved it ever since. My first cache find was Be the Tree in Syracuse New York. It is right near my school - so it was a cool find because I had never know it exsisted. What about you? [Originally a new topic; merged into this existing topic by moderator.]

Sweet...what are the names of the travel bugs.

What is the coolest travel bug that you have come across. Why is it cool? What makes it unique? Where did you find it? Just curious. Environmental Explorer - Jdrummerlax

Sweet. I'm in 8th grade and am friends with mewzic and enspyer. My parents and family don't like geocaching - so its good to get noticed as being a kid geocacher. Cool Environmental Explorer Make a difference - save the environment

Unlike Dieseldoc, I am not a good geocacher. I get frustrated and mad when a geocache's coordinate's are 50 ft. off. I prefer coordinateds that are around 20 ft. off. But I guess I'm a hippocrit, because I own a few caches that are usually 50 ft. off. However, that's the whole fun thing about geocaching. The joy and happiness I experience when I find a cache that is around 50 ft. off. So i sort of have to agree with Dieseldoc.

I like the idea of geocaching as a competition a ton. My dad actually mentioned something just like that when I first started geocaching. Maybe you could do something like have one of those geocaching competitions in a state park - if you could get permission. Well, I think it is a cool idea anyway. My idea - What you could do is [as you said] set between 10-50 geocaches in a park. Then, in each geocache place a unique [unique color] ticket. The number of tickets in each geocache would equal the number of geocachers participating in the geocaching event. Then hand a sheet with every geocache's coordinates to each participating player. Have each player collect a ticket from each geocache - and once a player collects all the tickets they head towards the starting point. You could have prizes for 1st 2nd and 3rd etc. That's my idea.
