  1. Oops! I psoted twice! How the &*%$ do I delete a post?????
  2. I read about it a year or two ago. Finally got a GPSr last Novwmber and have been busy since. My wife at first reacted like I was insane (again.) Then she and the kids spend New Years Day Caching. They are now hooked as well. The wife now wants to go all the time (And I thought this would be a way to get time to myself!) That's ok, I do like spending time with her. A far as telling others, most think caching is unusual at best. Of course, these are the same people who think it odd that I take a week off in the summer to got to Boy Scout Summer Camp with the boys!
  3. I have a small fannypack that I use. I keep it stocked with compass, trade goods, ziplock bags, pencil & pen, grocery sack (CITO), digital camera and small first aid kit. It was a real pain my first couple of time out to dig everything out of my pockets. The fanny pack allows a lot of freedom of movement that my back pack doesn't allow.
  4. I log my DNF's. What I'm reluctant to do is claim a log must have been pirated. I'll go back and look two, maybe three times before I admit defeat and ask for help form the owner or other cachers.
  5. My wife is a "ghost." Really. She will sign the logbook, but will not log the find on GC.com. I have been posting her Find / DNF and T/L so that the cache owners and cachers know she has been there. It drives me a little nuts (er.. more nuts) to find the logbook and online log do not match. (Not that it really matters, just an order in the universe thing)
  6. I would certainly like to know if I've commited any faux pas when logging a find or DNF. I've tried to be careful not to reveal anything not already in the description in my logs.
  7. 1. I will be able to buy cooler geoswag for swaping, instead of my usual lame items. 2. Premium Membership 3. TB's (I have quite a few but no tags yet!)
  8. This was a verrrrry tiny micro, a mini altoids bin (mints, not breathstrips), if I remember correctly. Not having a log book made no difference to me. Team Jammer, as I stated, has placed a number of interesting and challanging mini/micros is the area. I completely enjoyed all their hunts regardless of log / no log.
  9. Team Jammer has placed a series of micros in my area, at least four are no log book. They were all placed in mid to late summer 2003. I myself wondered about the no log book aspect, but still enjoyed the find. I realy don't know the answer. Anybody?
  10. Doctor....Doctor stumped me and my son for about a month. I must have looked twice a week. This is a micro that was devilishly placed in a very public area. Every time I searched, I was sure that someone would call the authorities about the loiterer wandering about in circles, muttering to himself and looking beneath and above everything in sight. When I finally found it (in plain sight, of course) I felt like slapping myself.
  11. I usually ignore the parking coord's unless the owner (or a finder) notes that there are parking restrictions. I'll often circle the area and pick a parking site. Of course my choice always takes me through a swamp or requires scaling a sheer cliff face.
  12. Cold and snow have slowed me down but not stopped me. The only thing stopping me is illness and family commitments.
  13. I feel that I've been fortunate NOT to find anything unseemly....
  14. My score is 26%. #100 is 19.2 miles. I'm in a suburb 20 miles north east of Detroit. I've only been active since November '03, but I am seriously addicted. I'm out just about every weekend, even in the recent snow we've been having. (about 2 feet accumulated on the ground in the woods now)
