Check this out guys: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.asp?ID=29532 Can't wait to see you there! The Mountain Bike Guy. Long Live Long Rides!

If so, post 'em here, lets see them! Here is one to start: This wagon has been modified so that you can sit above the engine thats installed, and steer with your feet and the handle. Looks like fun! I saw it while hunting a cache recently. The Mountain Bike Guy. Long Live Long Rides!

I think we should promote it as much as we can, the more caches/cachers the better! BTW, is that you Ruf Rturbo??? Or do you just wish it was? Ruf cars are awsome! The Mountain Bike Guy. Long Live Long Rides!

Pretty soon we'll be having caches filled with blank paper cause were so worried. We'll be scratching the Rubbermaid logo of the container, and we won't be able to use ziploc bags cause there to commercial. Oh wait I can't use my blank paper...there is a littel HP (hewlett packard) in the corner. jhwf4 Couldn't have said it better! There are way too many rules for Geocaching already!

I think not. Still want the video? Oh yeah, they have to stick their tongue out a lot, too. I was thinking more like a video about stupid geocachers, doing stuped things, while geocaching (like chewing on there GPS, or walking off a cliff while reading there GPS, or hiding a cache in a bears den.) That type of video might be intresting. So, are you making a video? The Mountain Bike Guy. Long Live Long Rides!

Thats great! Hadn't thought of that yet, I may use it!

I actually had that in mind when I was stapling the tape, I was thinking "Where could I put it so that it would be hard to see during the day?" It would still be possable, but very difficlut!

What I have always concidered a comercial cache is one that is one or more of the following: sponsered by a company, on the bussnises property with the obvious intent of bringing people the bussinness, any cache with a certain company theme, ect. A perfect example a a commercial cache would be the "Blue Ovel Cache" in Carthage MO. It is placed under a Ford sign, at a Ford dealership, and was placed there by a Ford car salesmen. But it you can get your store to give you free toys to put in the cache, without them wanting any exsesive mention of there company (a simple "Thanks to this company for supplying the bootynuggets" in the logbook might be fine) then I'd so GO FOR IT! Overall in moy opinion there are already to many rules for where you can place geocaches, If I could give one word of advice to the geocaching admin about the rules, I would say "RELAX!" This is about fun, let people have fun (even if it is "commercial" fun!) The Mountain Bike Guy. Long Live Long Rides! [This message was edited by MTBguy on July 19, 2002 at 11:13 AM.]

Anybody have any suggestions for the name of a night only cache that requires you to follow a trail marked by reflective tape in the woods? The Mountain Bike Guy. Long Live Long Rides! [This message was edited by MTBguy on July 18, 2002 at 12:31 PM.]

How about something liek Monday and Friday night, or Monday, Friday, and Wednesday? Or Monday and Thursday? Or something more than what there is now. quote:Originally posted by jhwf4:Does anyone else think there should be another "official chat time"? Is this possible? I wish chats would happen more often. jhwf4 The Mountain Bike Guy. Long Live Long Rides!

Try putting a WheresGeorge dollar bill in a bottle and toss it into a water way. I did that once in Turkey Creek her in south west MO, it ended up off the coast of Texas in the Gulf of Mexico before it was found. The Mountain Bike Guy. Long Live Long Rides!

I do not really want links to threads about people hunting reguler caches at night, but info about geocaches specificly designed for people to find them at night. How do people make them? What do they use? How long is the trail? How did they identify the cache location? If any of you have hunted a night specific cache (not just a cache at night) please tell me about it.

I have been wanting to do a night only cache for a long time now. I was planning to use reflective twist ties, but havn't found them anywhere. Other people have suggested reflective tape, solor powered patio lights, blinking LEDs, ect. I was wanting to make a trail which you would have to follow at night. The posted coords would be for the begining of the trail, which wold lead you to the cache. I know this has been done before, but I havn't seen it discused here before. Does anyone have any suggestion for the trail of light? And do you know of any caches similer to what I am wanting to do? So far I know of three like this: Night Vision Don't Be Afraid of the Dark and Arkalon #8 Thanks for any suggestions! The Mountain Bike Guy. Long Live Long Rides!

If you are interested in a KC group, post a message here: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.asp?ID=14708 There are lots of geocachers in KC, they have an annual breakfast meeting, and picnic. The Mountain Bike Guy. Long Live Long Rides!

Is this exclusevly for springfield (MO) cachers, or can anyone from the surrounding area join? I am in Joplin MO. The Mountain Bike Guy. Long Live Long Rides!

I just posted a log for a Yellow Jeep I found here in Joplin MO. I don't really understand what you are doing. Could you explain the "yellow jeep project" a little more? The Mountain Bike Guy. Long Live Long Rides!

I have resolved the matter peacfully with Doombot without having to resort to lobbing anymore flames. Thanks again for the "kick in the pants" The Mountain Bike Guy. Long Live Long Rides!
