    Html Help For Cache Reports?

    in How do I...?

    Posted

    Although I am not a newbie to geocaching...I am definitely new to HTML! Are there any particular resources/websites specifically for the geocacher who wants to try and spruce up his/her cache reports with HTML?

     

    Thanks -

    A Cache Inside A Pseudo Stone/boulder?

    in General geocaching topics

    Posted

    Does anyone know of a company or cacher with whom I could acquire one of those fake rock/cache containers? I think I did a Markwell cache in Tennessee once and he had used one...but that was so long ago, I can't be sure.

    Anyway, I am planning a stone-theme multicache here in the mountains of WNC and would love to have one of those to incorporate into the hunt!

     

    Any suggestions would be appreciated!

    Reasonably Priced Pda's For Paperless Caching?

    in GPS technology and devices

    Posted

    Hi folks -

     

    Although I have been caching since 2001, I admit that I am light years behind in regards to all of the technological achievements in the sport.

    Forgive me if this question is way too novice, but could you give me some recommendations on purchasing a PDA that I would be able to utilize for downloading cache info? What bells and whistles am I looking for when I walk into a place like Best Buy? I'm not necessarily looking for the top of the line by any means, but I would like to know what most folks are using or a good quality PDA that could be purchased that would be a cacher's best friend.

     

    I appreciate all suggestions/recommendations!

    Top 5 Ultimate Caches To Do Before You Die?!?

    in General geocaching topics

    Posted

    It probably be more pratical to do all the caches in a province/state or country then try to keep on top of an ever changing Top 5 List.

    Sure Thorin, I agree. However, when you live in a state as active as NC, you might as well think that you have a greater chance to descend into the crater of an Ethiopian volcano than to successfully find all of the caches in this state! :bad: It is hard to keep up these days now thatgeocacihng is more of the mainstream light these days.

    It is good fun to give recognition to those twisted cachers who have gone above and beyond the call of duty to create epic caches!

     

    Cheers!

    Top 5 Ultimate Caches To Do Before You Die?!?

    in General geocaching topics

    Posted

    Here are a few that have been discussed quite a bit on some of the forums! They all rank highly on my epic must-do list!!

     

    Gokyo Ri

     

    Quantum Leap

     

    Blood and Guts in Virginia (aka Iron and Stone)

     

    Gokyo Ri is high in the mountains of Nepal, Quantum Leap logs read like a tangled and twisted novel, and Iron and Stone just makes my head hurt to even contemplate what some of those poor cachers went through to succeed! Kudos to all of those who have found the above caches!

     

    Keep em rollin folks...I am making a heck of a compilation that I will share and distribute at a later date!

     

    Thanks for all of you input!

    Thanks Team Tigger!

     

    Ahhh yes...Tube Torcher is a doozy! :mad: Laughing Moon and I were the first to find it! I took off from a day of work to do it! It took all day! The 2 guys who are the sick minds behind it are both good friends of mine.....we have always talked about having a sequel...hmmm? But you know how sequels go...they are rarely as good as the original! :huh:

    The 2nd cache you posted seems very unique and interesting! Thanks for the assistance!

    Top 5 Ultimate Caches To Do In Your Lifetime?

    in General geocaching topics

    Posted

    Hi folks -

     

    I am writing an essay/article for publication on new and innovative ways people are exploring landscapes and places. I have been geocaching for over 3 years so of course I am writing about the sport in my work.

    However, I am especially interested in difficult and/or creative multi-stage caches (either physically, mentally. or both!) I would love to hear from anyone and everyone on their top 5 all-time most difficult cache experiences. There is room for some ego here...so if you feel like that you have created one that would rank at the top of the list, please let me know.

    Like many outdoor magazines always have "The Top 20 Ultimate Hikes to Do in Your Lifetime" or "The Top 10 Destinations" ...think of this as "The Top 5 Ultimate Caches To Do Before You Die!" Oh and you can also vote on a hellacious cache that you have read or heard about but have never done yourself!

     

    Looking forward to your responses!

    Thanks Elias -

     

    My SPAM filter was the ticket! I use Microsoft Outlook Express as my email tool. It was the problem ...not my ISP. Thanks for the hint! It seems to ne working fine now after I went in to approve messages arriving from "noreply@geocaching.com"

    Hi to all -

     

    I have not been caching in some number of months. However, no that my summer has rolled around , I am begining again with renewed vigor. However, I have noticed recently that I have not been receiving any notification emails when someone logs one of my caches. Does anyone have any suggestions? The email on my profile page IS the correct email address.
