    Why do geocachers pass up travel bugs?

    in Trackables

    Posted · Edited by DarthJustice

    Yeah, there's even a TB with a similar issue not far from my home. It has been in the cache since December 20, 2008 though the cache has been found several times since then. Whenever I get around to finding it, I might take it somewhere if I know a good place to drop it. There's one cache that I guess I can drop it off in a lot closer to my home just for the sake of it no longer sitting in the same cache for months.

    How Many Hides Do You Have?

    in General geocaching topics

    Posted · Edited by DarthJustice

    So far, I've only found caches (however few that is right now). I've been wanting to hide at least one for some time now. I think I'd really enjoy it and all that it entails.

     

    I do have one place that I would love to place a cache. I guess the main reason I haven't placed it yet is that I just don't have a clue who to ask permission to do so and obviously we don't want to place without permission.

    Have You Found Your State's Oldest Cache?

    in South and Southeast

    Posted · Edited by DarthJustice

    So after reading someone's log this morning that they saved their double zero finds (200 - 900) for the oldest cache in a given state and their 1000th for the one that started geocaching, I got to thinking. First, this sounds like the kind of goal I would enjoy setting, so I decided to do so. For each of my double zero finds (whenever those happen), I'm going to use the oldest cache in each state (whichever I decide to hit) to be that mark with the one in Oregon being my 1000th.

     

    But then I got to wondering how many other people here have found the oldest caches. Who all has found the oldest cache in your state?

     

    Here's the one in mine, Mississippi, which was placed back in 2000:

     

    Bonita Lake

     

    EDIT: I just realized I likely should have posted this elsewhere on the forums. So yeah, I'm sorry if so. Do these usually get moved on there own or do I have to ask someone?

    Where do people hide caches in drive in restaurants?

    There isn't a Sonic within 300 miles of me, or even one anywhere in my State (NY) that I know of. Yet I see their commercials constantly on TV.

     

    This is a good thing though. No Sonic = no nano's at sonic. :D

     

    I'm in a different state with the same situation!!!! It keeps making me wonder if they are sewing the seeds of conquest for our area or just getting our attention as "that place which advertises here for no reason"? It does sort of make you want to go to one, just to say you have after seeing it for so many years without one in sight! It makes it stick out in your mind more than places with ACTUAL LOCATIONS around, I suppose. Seeing as we both noticed it (and many others) there probably is a method to their madness.

     

    WE just got our first Sonic this year, stopped at a lot while motorcycling in the midwest

     

    I have a similar situtation too except with a different fast food place, Red Robin. I live in Mississippi and every so often I'll start seeing a bunch of RR commercials where I live. The only thing is is that there are no Red Robins anywhere IN Mississippi.

     

    As for the question at hand, unfortunately I don't really have any ideas other than possibly one. Maybe it's underneath one of the tables that are located in front of the building where the employees come from? Likely not, but it's the only suggestion I didn't notice.

    What got you into Geocaching?

    in General geocaching topics

    I found out about geocaching last year. I think I had heard the term 'geocaching' before, but I didn't know what it was or anything. I believe I must have passed over the word somewhere online, but didn't take the time to find out what it was.

     

    Late last year, a friend came by my house one day. While we were hanging out, he happened to mention geocaching and that some of his friends had been doing it. He told me to come to this very site, which I did.

     

    That's how I came to be a part of the caching community. Short and sweet lol.

    Two Questions

    in How do I...?

    Posted

    Okay, this morning I found my fourth cache. When I found it, I also found two items. One was a dollar and the other was a package of condoms.

     

    Are condoms allowed in caches? I'm not sure. I have read on here people taking them since apparently they're not, so followed suit and I took them. I was just thinking though if I was really supposed to or not. If not, I'll go back and put them back. Can someone fill me in or point me to the rules where it says something about this?

     

    On a related note, another question I feel stupid for asking. I did take the dollar as I said. So I want to be sure, am I supposed to leave something in return or is money on the same "level" as TBs and don't apply to that rule? Again, if so, I'll go back and do my thing.

     

    You can probably tell I'm still very new to geocaching. If I'm going to play this "game", I just want to play it right and all.

    Mississippi Delta Geocaching

    in South and Southeast

    Posted

    I've asked this before, but it seems as if my topic was deleted some time ago. So I guess I'll ask again. Is there anyone here in the MS Delta area, especially near Cleveland? I'm looking for at least one person to go with sometimes (as they say, the more the merrier). I know there were two or three people who said something about it, I didn't hear from one when I wrote her afterwards and the other I don't know if the offer still stands though.

     

    But yeah, is there anyone here in MS near Cleveland that would like to team up and go together sometime? And by thw way, I've already tried MSGA as well.

     

    EDIT: Yeah, I just happened to notice my original topic from September several pages back. Guess it didn't get deleted after all. Wish I had noticed beforehand.

     

    It appears the Delta is a little dry on cachers, Hagar responded to you on the MSGA, as did Ronbo, but they never heard back, stop back in, make a few more posts, get to know some folks. I spent three days in the Delta last week and would gladly have hooked up with you while there. I will drop you a line next time I come up to stay, which will probably be the third week in January.

     

    Ronbo was actually the person I was referring to when I said I didn't know if the offer still stood or not. I just sent Ronbo a message on MSGA a few minutes ago, so I'll see if the offer about going sometime still stands. I'll be seeing about everyone else soon.

    A Simple Question about Tracking Bugs

    in How do I...?

    Posted

    Hey everyone, I'm still relatively new to geocaching. I've only found three geocaches so far, none of which have included tracking bugs yet (although I do know some close by that have at least one). Since I'm still new, there's something I need to find out about involving TBs.

     

    I know the rule for the general trinkets and whatnot is if you take one, you should leave something of equal or great value in return.

     

    But when you take just a tracking bug, are you supposed to do the same? I may be wrong in thinking that we are, but I want to know for sure.

    Anyone here live anywhere near Cleveland, MS? I am relatively new to geocaching (found my 1st one back in late June or early July). I'd like to meet some fellow geocachers and maybe we could go caching together sometimes?

     

    So is anyone near me by chance?
