If the "wrong" answers are an honest attempt, we would never delete a log, we do try and reply to all those who send answers with our version what we were looking for. We do delete logs if no attempt is made to answer or we get messages along the lines of "we were in the country, didn't visit the site but can we log a find?"

There's an earthcache in Qatar that requires the use of vinegar (and a magnifying glass).

What has changed since July?
-
One of our finds has had its name, description, location and size changed post adoption, the new CO only kept the GC code and hidden date the same.
-
Seperate App, not available on a PC, seperate logging requirements, seperate placing guidelines we could go on but its easier to just keep pretending.
-
No need to quit geocaching, just quit lab caching.

Sorry to disappoint, but outside of the USA and possibly a few other countries it is 14/03/22 today - nothing special about that as far as I'm aware. -

Release Notes (Website: Enhanced Search Results)
me N u replied to Geocaching HQ's topic in Geocaching HQ communications
Echoing the request to have the date format as per personal preferences - we use UK date format (DD/MM/YY) and are not, and have no intention of ever being American! -
We logged a NA as the cache is one we DNF'd previously - cue vitriol from the CO (duly ignored) who then archived the cache.
-
Owner maintenance 21/09/2021 Someone needs to leave a throwdown or I will have to archive this cache.
-
If somebody is "creeped out" by the prospect of someone casing them, why would they contact the cache owner (probably a total stranger) at all?

Found My First GPSr - A Blast From The Past!
me N u replied to Lostboy1966's topic in GPS technology and devices
We started with one of these whilst in Saudi Arabia in 2008- the total number of waypoints (152?) - was exactly the same as the number of caches in country at the time! We also carried a ring binder with a print out of every cache listing, and only replaced it when the LCD screen died. -
GC2NQZP Sembawang hot spring in Sinagapore. An earthcache that epitomises geocaching for us - somewhere we would never have found as it is not listed on any tourist sites or in any guide books, it involved a train and bus journey followed by a short walk around the boundary fence of a military installation, said fence had been diverted to allow public access to the hot spring and as we were approaching the entrance an elderly local gentleman rode past us on a bicycle and pointed whilst shouting "hot spring, hot spring" a special memory for us!
-
We refer to GZ as the point on the surface of the earth that our GPSR takes us to when navigating to the listed coordinates, and at least here in the UK, Groundspeak geocache listings DO NOT include elevation, so apart from attributes/cache description, we have no way of knowing the elevation - we have found a cache in a mine shaft where the listed coordinates were vertically above the cache but the entrance was some distance off and those coordinates listed as a waypoint (with no elevation information).

The All New All New Groundspeak UK Pub Quiz
me N u replied to Simply Paul's topic in United Kingdom and Ireland
A nice cold DING to Colleda - no apologies for being sneaky with the question, Pluto's first moon (Charon) was discovered in 1978 when Pluto was still regarded as the ninth planet in the solar system. -

Thank you and sticking with the solar system and moons: Which was the last planet found to have at least one moon orbiting it? Edit to clarify question (hopefully!)
