I am a 30 year VOLUNTEER fire fighter/EMT, 5th generation. My son is the 6th generation. I use my GPS a good bit when responding to calls in neighboring communities and counties. I also cache with TeamEmtFireKids, we are families of EMT's and Firefighters, I believe we now have 16 active and retired members of the services.

I don't like the idea that it's buried. Geocacher should not be digging after geocaches.Here is one of my caches. It has not been placed yet, I am still looking for a place to put it.-Here it is in CO's (me)point of view:
And here it is in a cachers point of view:
Any feedback/ideas appreciated!In a pile of mulch, it would not be buried. He states he is looking for a location. Great idea.

I downloaded and paid for the droid app and every time I try and use it it crashes. VERY disappointed. Anyone have any suggestions?

Did you send the 75 Euro to the reviewer to speed things up?

There are thousands and thousands of cemetery caches, I see no problem with them.
Listen if I seen someone spooking around my Mom and Dads grave site they would have some explaining to do, I am sure others feel the same way, I said my peace on this subject (I will not beat a dead horse) over this subject, just beware
WOW, you need to take a pill. I enjoy spending time in cemeteries. I have been known to spend hours walking among the headstones, meditating, reading. I would really hate to see you end up in a bad place for a poor attitude.

Wonderful story. Thanks for your service, keep your head down.

From what you are saying, you plan to take a LARGE object and embed it into the hillside and have basically just the face exposed like a spring house? I hope I am getting the jist of what you are saying. It is your property, and if I am following you, it sounds great. Look forward to seeing it.

No, platinum is so yesterday, Groundspeak has gone high tech, Aerogel is the highest level membership, I just paid.....well I am not at liberty to say, but didn't anyone else get the memo?

Has anyone ever seen a light bulb cache?
One of our first finds when we started 2 years ago. Our second day caching, we are with a group of 12 people, we pull up to the cache site, a country store, about 80' long, everyone else has been here before looking on MANY occasions. My then 14 y/o son gets out of the car walk over to the building, looks at the lights on either side of the door, 1 is on the other is not, reaches up, unscrews the bulb and replaced it before anyone else saw. He proudly declared the cache found, then waited about 20 mins for everyone else to give up before grabbing it again and showing his signature. He looked at the obvious, the light was out, the bulbs didn't match.

Can I log a virtual "FOUND IT!!".....Just kidding, everyone unwad their panties!

But then I also think it's lazy to just hide temporary event caches. Make 'em permanent and get 'em published so everyone can go look for them. If you want to have the event next year, then archive last year's event caches and publish a new series for the next event.
Had you come to the event, you may have learned something. The temps were historic markers and plaques and buildings around the area, you had to read to find information to fill in a 75 question crossword puzzle. There was NOTHING lazy about the work that went into this event in any way. The MAD COW grew a small local event into a MEGA event in just a few years. 565 people came to Wheeling, learned a good bit about it's history, set a record and enjoyed the company of other cachers. To say it is lazy is rude ignorant and shows a total lack of respect for your fellow cachers. Do you have any concept of what goes into making a MEGA event happen? I thought it was quite an ingenious way to have a great time, learn some history of a wonderful city and cache the day away, nothing LAZY about it at all. As to the logging of the temps, you can't log temps for a mega event, so the host said that if anyone wanted to log the temps, do so on the night before event cache page. If it is not about the numbers to people why do you care if people log them or not, Jeremy said his opinion, and it is up to the event host.

We go heavy every time. I carry for work, and due to the type of people I deal with at work, I carry all the time. Too many fools have no respect for people who have a job to do and can't separate work personal.

Patience happy cacher. Your reviewer is a VOLUNTEER. He may be working, or even on vacation. I have had caches published within minuets of submitting and have waited over a week. Be patient, and smell the flowers.

Wow, must be a silver spoon, he is getting replies from serious vets.....Maybe we should nominate him for the golden troll award.
-
Permission denied! Some folks will say you have to wait till you hit 100 finds .....or more, I say cache on!! I hope you put some thought into your caches as opposed to just a few quick throw downs. Keep on cachin!!

As a handicapped cacher, while I can't say I enjoy them, I DO appreciate them. While my wife and son romp in the woods for an hour grabbing their caches, I hit the local PNG's. They keep me from being bored while we all participate in an activity we love. I have one lamppost hide that was a 1.5/5 I believe. We found a street light out in the middle of the woods at an old camp site so in the large tree next to it we placed a 5 gallon bucket in the tree, about 20 feet up. It was a great hide, til a new owner bought the land.

We have a series called Farm Fresh. All the cache containers are fruits or vegetables or at local farms or farm markets. They are mostly handicapped accessible for a friend who suffered a traumatic brain injury and is on the road to recovery.

"Having a long standing rule of not letting leos approach my vehicle until invited, I hoped out and went around back of our vehicle to meet the driver, who asked what we were doing."
WOW, great way to end up eating asphalt. With that attitude, it is a miracle you haven't gotten shot yet. That aggressive behavior usually is a red flag that you have something to hide and aggression toward leo's usually doesn't end well. Glad you are undamaged, if you wish to remain that way, maybe might want to rethink your ideals about who approaches your car on what terms.

In Northwestern PA a friend of mine went to the County Welcome Center to place a cache for the PA AGT's. The welcome center approved of the cache 0placement art the welcome center, he then stopped by the police station to let the local LEO's know about the cache so as not to cause any concerns about the added traffic. The chief stated that ANYONE caught geocaching in Vernon Twp. will be jailed for trespassing, and risking a catastrophe. Geocaching in Vernon Twp. (PA) is illegal according to the chief of police. There are several caches in town, most of them in a local park, and available day time only. There is one cache available 24 hours in town, and we are planning an event at that location to see if we can set the worlds record for the most geocachers arrested in a single night at a single event. So, if you like a challenge, go cache in Vernon Twp. PA, see if the chief stands by his words, personally, I look forward to filing charges of false arrest and unlawful detention.
Did you ask to see the statute? That sounds like pure manure to me! There is a law against geocaching, but if caught you will not be charged with geocaching, but with trespassing? 
I think someone in Vernon Twp is making up laws to suit the occasion.Oh, most definitely the chief is. We are in the process of organizing an event in the area at one of the local eateries to ensue caching stays alive and well in Vernon Twp. Even my local police tell cachers it is illegal to cache in my Twp. after midnight...the nerve!!lol

It's incredibly poor taste and selfish. It might not matter to you but a cemetery is a sacred place to many other people.
That is purely a matter of personal opinion.
And it is a place of joyous remembrance to others even to the point of holding picnics and other family gatherings at the grave site. So who's right?
Seems to me that if you bought the plot and what you want to do conforms to the restrictions of the cemetery with respect for, and without infringing upon, the rights of others, cache on.
My family owned a large orchard, several square miles, and on the orchard is a cemetery where many of my ancestors are buried. Growing up I can not begin to tell you how many picnics we had there, it was and still is a beautiful location. As I grew older know how secluded the area was, it was a great lovers lane for several folks who knew it was there. We could drive to it, walk or go by horse back. You might be surprised at what you can catch people doing in a cemetery when they think they are alone in the place.
