  1. We were caching in Crow Creek Park in Bettendorf today. While searching for the multi there we came across a cache that is not listed on geocaching.com, navicache.com or terracache.com. It had an "official geocache" sticker on the outside and had been found twice before us today. Once last fall and once this spring. The logbook said it's name was Lake Springfield. Is is a regular size and had really good swag in it. No TB though.

    It could be a stage from the multi Crow Creek Hide & Seek - GCEC00. This one starts out on the other side of the park and looks very, very challenging. "This is a unique multi-cache that has a minimum of nine locations. The first four locations are described below and the other locations will be determined as you continue with your adventure." You could ask the owner of this one.

  2. Happy Thanksgiving! :unsure:

     

    We just returned home from grandma's house. It was a small gathering with my grandmother, mother and our family of three. We ate lots of delicious food, went back for seconds and are stuffed to the brim! We are now looking forward to getting out tomorrow and doing some caching.

  3. Be kind, I am a newbie! :signalviolin:

     

    I have a Geomate Jr so I am unable to hide a cache since it will not give me Lat. & Long. I was at a greet and meet on Friday where some people were talking about a vehicle being a cache using a travel bug. I have a travel bug that I bought on geocaching.com (I bought it before I knew what to do with it) and then I saw on ebay where someone will make a decal for my vehicle using my travel bug numbers.

     

    My questions are, is this possible to do with your vehicle? What suggestions would you have if it is possible, as far as logging or ????? Also how do I go about posting the 'vehicle bug on geocaching.com?

     

    I hope you all don't think I am nut. I just started doing this sport and I LOVE it!! This weekend I found a travel bug in a cache (my first one) and I am so excited about finding the perfect cache to put it in now. I was just a little dismayed when I found I couldn't hide my own bugs because the Geomate Jr. does not allow you to do so. Thank you one and all, Happy Hunting!

    Hello :sad:

     

    Also...

    If you want to release your travel bug, you don't need to have your own cache in order to do so.

    You can drop it any cache to start its journey. (with proper logging)

  4. 1. How did you originally hear about geocaching?

     

    2. Why did you want to get involved?

     

    1. We accidently found a cache on an old bridge when we stopped to admire the view while we out driving the back country roads. When we got home we looked up gecaching on the net.

     

    2. We got involved because we love the outdoors, finding & exploring new places, and it's fun for the whole family (of 3).

  5. We had the opportunity to explain geocaching to 2 policeman in a small Iowa town after they pulled up behind our geo-mobile while we were searching some street signs on a corner. They first sat in their car for a few minutes watching and later told us they found it funny because they couldn't figure out what in the world we were doing. We explained it all to them & showed them the cache. They both found it real interesting & asked lots of questions. Now they will know what other cachers are up to when they see them searching around in the area. :D

  6. Mine are in rural areas, so they won't get very much traffic after that first find. The city cachers usually wait until there are several new hides around here before they drive out to grab them all.

    Yep... same here.

    We live out rural in the country so obviously that is where we choose to place our caches.

    Most often it will be a few days or more before the 1st cacher comes along.
