    Archiving Really Old Caches

    in West and Southwest

    Posted

    I always enjoy finding a cache from the original days of caching. As a cacher that has been around since 2003 myself I have been known to archive my own caches after they have been around for a certain amount of time. BUT I always like finding a cache and seeing that it was hidden in 2001 or 2003 wether the cache owner is active or not. If it needs a new log I jsut put one in myself. I do this even if the cache owner IS active. As long as I have what they need I just fix it.

    That is some great advise.

     

    Are you going to make a different log for each cache? HAHA I say you get some text t speech software so you can just talk about it HAHA.

     

    I am sure the Cache owner is used to getting a lot of cut and paste logs from tese caches.

    Welcome aboard! There is a local caching group down there in your area. we call them MAC they are the Merced Area Cachers. Be careful though because their ring leader Photom is a very shady character! :P

     

    In all seriousness they are a good group of people that will most likely help you out in any way possible.

    HEY!! I resemble that remark!

     

    Indeed, Markca - welcome aboard. The forum isn't as active as it once was - seems as though folks have tended to migrate to Facebook, along with 500 million others. :lol:

     

    We also have an outside forum. at http://www.cvgeocachers.com/

     

    Though like Photom said poeple aren't using it nearly as much anymore.

    Poking my head in here for the first time.... I've been caching for about 4 months and have already run into a few other cachers here in Merced....a couple of the names I even see here. Nice to see a couple others using Android for caching as well.

    Hi everyone! I have a quick question...I'm approaching cache #1000 and would like to plan a really neat cache for that milestone...any recommendations? For #500 I did National Treasure...not sure if anything can beat that! Please let me know if you have any ideas. Thanks!

     

    If you can take a trip - go to Folsom at night for "Nocturnal Immersion." Take some friends!! :laughing:

     

    I second that motion. it is a very fun cache to do.

    Hi everyone. We've been gone for a while, but have the bug once again. Amazing when I logged in and saw my profile picture, etc. Eight years ago! I'm not sure who we'd know on here anymore, but I noticed Ron is back at it.

     

    Using the Android app "GeOrg" and it makes it SOOOOOO easy. Long gone are the days of punching in coordinates or even looking at the site much! It's all there!

     

    Hope to get in contact with friends from the past as well as new ones!

     

    One advantage is all the caches around me are new to us!!!!

     

    Holy Schnikes! It is a name from the past. Long time no see Z&L! Welcome back! Now if we could just get that BOGA guy to do some more caching and maybe George&Mary and it will be just like old times again!

    Hi, I just stumbled upon this thread. I'm down in Lemoore if you don't already know me.

     

    One question. Does the central valley want more Wherigo caches?

    I have not looked for long time regarding whereigos are there any in the central valley now?

     

    So I did a search of Wherigo caches from my zip code here in modesto. The search yielded ZERO results.

    Not sure what is in the air here in Modesto BUT poeple are down right grumpy out here.

     

    People getting mad about someone finding an FTF and not logging it within 2 hours. Sending emails to people and posting it in their find log. I mean seriously. This is an internet game. Let me say that again THIS IS AN INTERNET GAME!!!

     

    People getting mad at a newbie that SAID they are a newbie and can't figure out how to change the coordinates. Instead of jumping on them how about helping people. Offer to show them how to do the coordinate change via the website. Then maybe it will happen.

     

    If you aren't part of the solution then you are just part of the problem.

    OK so I might jsut not be finding it and the search feature says that my words aren't long enough when searching for "gpx 1.0.1" SO that all said. Who can tell me the difference between GPX 1.0 and GPX 1.0.1?

     

    I have been trying to find it on the sight for an hour.

    copied right from the log of GC17WY1

    :grin: January 2 by pa-11trent (291 found)

     

    This one is hilarious, loved it!. I can't imagin the work that went into this one. Did not sign log for obvious reasons. TFTC

    Well, Looking back at there logs back to January, I found one double find log on GC1ZJKP for 3/2/10 and 3/4/10 but for all the other American caches it looks like they sign and note it (based on their log entry on the caches only).

     

    The obvious reason that they didn't sign the log on Holy Macro was that they didn't find it and need their find deleted. It is the rules in Geocaching that you sign the log if the cache has one and as my photograph proved, there is a log. Just a bear to find and coming back later to try again is starting the entire search over again! Nasty idea for a cache and I'm only sorry that I didn't think of it first! :wub:

     

    I agree with BOGA they didn't find it as per the instructions on the cache page itself even. I also agree that I wish I had thought of it myself!!
