Sock puppet?

Sorry Ed, football is for sissies. Go Rugby! We hosted the High School National Rugby Championships here in Pittsburgh 2 years ago, what a wonderful game, that and Lacrosse, beat the hell out of each other!!!!

We have a friend who has trained his Golden Retreiver to find tupperware. He started off feeding him out of it, then started placing less and less food in it, until it was empty, then started hiding the empty container and giving him a treat for finding it, no he finds them quite well. I t is really amazing to see, when I have been with him, I would say 95% accurate.

gc1ma1k We hit this cache in Allen TX. It was the best underwater cache ever. A decoy duck with an ammo can applied to it's underside. A brick was adhered to the bottom of the can to keep the duck floating, and it was tethered to the shore by a 30' chain. There were 3 ducks, you had to get the right one. If I can ever find a lake where the ducks would not get muggled, I am doing one just like it!

We have several nasties out there, GC1WVCW ]a 1.5/5, GC20TDY This one is at my friends business, he has logged 27 different visitors to the cache, but no DNF's logs to go with them. There is no other reason to be at GZ unless you are searching, GC1EQ42 The firt is in plain sight, you just need to be observent, the second is an other that is wicked, and the third is our first 1/5, and it has more DNF's that are not logged if you read the logs, "Out 3rd try" but no DNF's to go with it. I like the toughies, NOT the nano's I have a lamp post hide tha tis a 5 gallon bucket, right beside a lamp post. GC1TY5P

My geobeagle can't read, but he is learning how to find caches by scent. He is a bluetick, and unable to read or use a GPS.

A bottle of fine wine, a gift card to a nice eatery, or cash usually get them published faster...lol In my area, all it takes is a bit of seed, maybe dried fruit and a container large enough to hold a hamster. 8)

It is an ALR, but Keystone only mentioned it because someone here tried something similar, then that person whined about your cache, and following the rules, he sent you the note to comply. I know Keystone personally, and I think everyone here will agree, he is VERY fair and asks EVERYONE to go by the rules. Don't feel singled pout by TPTB, feel ratted out by a fellow cacher who could not do the same thing.

It depends on what you look at. I have had several emails telling me my caches are not right, but everyone who complained used google earth. My cords were right on, but on google earth almost every cache I have is off by 50 to 60 feet or MORE. It is not always the hider....it is sometimes the maps. I have a book I write every cord in I use for a cache, and I usually check them two or 3 times before I come up with the final, it all depends on the software and the unit. I borrowed an Etrex legend for a month or so and it was 100 feet off from my 60cx. There are many variables out there.

Maybe you should understand how the system functions before poking at the reviewer. A "Needs Maintenance" log does NOT draw the attention of the reviewer. There is no notice sent to reviewers when "Needs Maintenance" is logged. That is the entire reason why the log type was added. Only a "Needs Archived" log is sent automatically to a local reviewer. I hope that my prior post helps you to clear up the "mystery" feelings you are having. Reviewers DO NOT see MN logs

Then there is the naked cacher.. ..WHAT CAMO!!??!!

Yes, I have built one, and it was destroyed many time by cachers who could not figure it out, so I gave up. The one that is posted is the one I built.

...or flightless birds. Exactly... But, either is easy to work with...one prefers Milkbones...the other...well...I think birdseed would be fine... Not herring? Only if your in a PICKLE!!

mmmmmmmmmmmm......BACON!

How about a space shuttle with the next cords written on it for a moonraker refference, or better yet, a rake with a picture of the moon secured to it, use "MOONRAKER" in some way to work out part of the cords

Have you talked to them? Asked them to refrain from changing your hides? On SEVERAL occasions, they just smile and walk away.

Sounds like most of you have people making them harder, I have a married couple here, every, and I mean EVERY time I hide a new cache, like a 3 or higher difficulty, as soon as they log it, I have to go reset it because they will leave them out in the open, they have even put in their logs, "We made it easier for the next cacher, it was too hard to find for us" I have been nice about it, but have reached the point of being ready to turn the tables on them. While I would NEVER mess with another cache, a sock puppet could appear giving hints to all their hides. It is quite annoying.

I belong to TeamEmtFireKids, we have 14 teenagers that cahce with us, they love it and several have their own caches also. They have been caching from 2 years to 6 months. They go out alone and together

Atlantis is taking off in a few days, a cache there to be jettisoned to the moon.

I have several PVC caches and I use a ziplock bag inside everyone, and the swag stays dry!

I see your first find was a micro, good job! Try sticking to regular and small hides, 2/2 at the most in the beginning.. Baby steps till you figure out the learning curve. We tried some real nasty hides on our own in the beginning, and got discouraged. We took the same advice and now we are zooming, 1500 finds in 1 1/2 years, and over 100 hides. Patience patience patience.

I love to get stuff from Oriental Trading, great stuff cheap!

I was up to my cache balls the other day while hiding a cache near a stream, good thing it was not too cold!! I dropped them in a cache on the way home for some dry swag.

What is "the mainstream event horizon?" This is what I think it is: (See the bolded print.) Has anyone managed to calculate the approximate date when that will occur? I would DEARLY LOVE to see a mathmatician's prediction. I aren't too guud at cipherin'. Hopefully some one will. I need time to prepare. You know, emotionally. You might want to check with Vinny and Sue, the sock puppets might have it all planned out already, he is pretty efficient that way!

The clerk has the key. You need the key to reactivate the pump (My son loved this till I explained it to him)
