Found it06/05/2013
Found it BUT it is underneath equipment clearly marked DANGER High Voltage Area!
Could the problem be in the way the found it log was written? It states the cache is UNDER the equipment.since the picture shows there is no way to put something under the green box my guess is just wording.
-
wires and a cache container - Don't do it.
-
I've seen a few that are those air freshener trees and the cardboard tree is the log. I never thought twice about it untitl I read this thread.

Just ask "Did you find it?"
Another cacher will know what you're talking about. At the same time, if they are muggles, you won't give anything away that might put the cache at risk.

We used to be able to tell simply by GPSrs, but now with many using phones and everybody seems to have a phone to their ear or texting, I guess it is tough to spot another cacher today.
Maybe moreso in urban caching.
...sigh...I guess you're right.
It used to be if you thought you were being watched, you could pretend the GPSr was your phone.
-
Most notice the GPSr in someone's hand.
-
Craft stores like Hobby Lobby have them. Often they are in the jewelry making area.

I think he's talking in general, not caching. "I know some folks would bitch if you handed them a crispy $20, and they had to find someplace to break it to buy a coke"
There are some people that will suck the joy our of everything, or at least try, and he's not going to let them!
I feel the same but sometimes they just sneak in and get you.
-
Good Clean fun! Glad you didn't let a little snag hold you back.

Very sorry to hear all that. I hate GR caches because of all the icky stuff you can grab on to under there. I rarely go for them unless they are at a dead end, access road or other out of the way place. When you think about it, the guard rails are there to try stoping a car going around a curve.

The better looking half of hzoi was 28 when we started, but that was in 2007. She's 35 tomorrow.
Good news is the average age of team hzoi will drop from 36.5 to 24.3 in about five months or so.
Happy Birthday! and looking forward to meeting the 3rd cacher in the family. Will you be in OK by then?
Oh, that's the best part -- due date and move date = same date. Hooray!
Yikes! I hope they will be packing you up because mrs. hzoi might not be doing much of it this time

Don't do it!
I put a lot of thought and time into most of my caches. I do not want the surprise given away.
A few times a newbie has posted pictures, I've removed the pics and explained why with positive reactions.
There is at least one thread with pictures of cool containers. That's the place to put them with no reference to the GC#

Just remember to write the 'story' about your finds in the logs. Please do not get in the habit of SL TNLN TFTC. Tell about your search, what was going on in the area or anything to let the cache owner know about how much fun you had, even if you didn't find the cache you were searching for.
Remember this: Your story is the only "payment" the cache owner gets for placing the cache.

Just be aware that no matter what you spend you need to be prepared for it to disappear.
-
On the right hand side of each cache page are "Attributes". Not all COs use them but hopefully you can find what you are looking for there.
Cameras are fine, be sure not only to put them in the scrapbook but show them in the cache gallery for all to see! BUT be prepared, the camera may disappear.
Good luck & have fun!!

Do not use photocopier paper or notebook paper, unless it is in an ammo box or other very hardy container.
Keep in mind your cache may be found by hundreds of people. Look what happens to a dollar bill by the time you get it. (now that would be some great logging paper, tough and water resistant!)
I have many boxes of Crane note paper. Now I have a use for it besides the occasional note. not quite the same as dollar bill paper but still cotton based. Thanks for the idea. now to see if it holds up well.

Have fun!

I hope all is well. That is a long time to worry.

Many years ago our car was broken into at the Bronx Zoo. They took a bag from Lord & Taylor - it contained my mother's curlers and the pot part of a potty seat (used when one of us kids got car sick)
-
I'm glad to hear he's OK but that's twice in the last two hours that I've heard of geocachers getting lost. How does one get lost while holding a GPSr in their hands? It seems that folks should spend a little more time getting to know how to navigate with their GPSr.

That was my thought as well. If I'm going to be much out of sight of my car I always mark it so if I had to I could follow the arrow.

I have claimed a find while out hiding caches with a friend, but Never as FTF.
-
Not sure what I'll do, but since it's my birthday I'll do something!

I'm not really interested in SWAG swapping. So I generally take nothing and leave nothing.
(I do like moving trackables however).
Geocoins and travel bugs are NOT to be kept in a collection at home.
I disagree. I keep mine at home in a ammo can. They used to be a fun part of this game to me, but too many went MIA. Now I just collect them.
Your own or ones you find?

I am not a fan of cut and paste unless something is added about each individual cache.
What really bothers me is when 3 cachers go out together, each will copy the other with just a change of names. "Went on a cache run from X to Z with 1&2 and found 10 caches." Then you get to read "went on a cache run from X to Z with 1&3 and found 10 caches" etc.
when they find a few of yours you get emails on all finds and get excited ready to read adventures and you get that nonsense.
A short "liked the container, tftc" is so much better, more personal if you can't write more.
