This was a great tip! Exactly what I was looking for. I wanted to import them into GSAK. Thanks,

I saw something similar. A bunch of caches were posted within a few days. Each time I received an email notification of the posting. I would check the cache page right away, and on some of them, there was already a find posted before the posting date. My question is how do you search for chaches that haven't posted yet?

I do support Geocache.com. I am a premium member. I got it for the PQ feature! I don't have premium channels on my TV (or non-premium channels for that matter) as finances are tight. I don't eat out much at all. Expenses do add up and I have to be careful with every penny! I enjoy Geocaching partially because it is not a money intensive sport! And it gets me out of the house and into nature. I purchased a used GPS for my oldest as a Christmas gift (it was instead of something else he would have gotten) so as to share the sport with him. I like to take my kids out with me and have gotten some of the MOC (because that is where I wanted to go) and my son would like to log the find as well. He was so disappointed when he couldn't, he didn't want to go out with me. So then I was avoiding them when he was with me. Now that I know he can log them, we can keep going out looking for the caches that I have run a PQ on. Running the PQ's have got to be taxing on the system. So I agree that you should pay for them. My boy does not run PQ's or have a need too. As he gets older, I am sure he will want to become a Premium member at some point. For now, I am glad for the ability to log the MOC's. I appreciate the creators of Geocaching.com very much. Thanks so much for maintaining the site and making the sport enjoyable. Indy-bikes

I would vote for allowing the "Pit stop" idea! The reason is that I see trackable items listed inside of virtual and Nano caches that obviously don't fit. I really like trackable items. If it is stated as being in a cache, then it should be there. So if we allowed trackable items to only "Pit stop" in certain kinds of caches, then we could eliminate those stragglers that get left in caches that can't physically fit there. This is how it should work: Trackables could only be "Pit stop"ed in any caches, virtual, or earth cache if you actually visit the site, (i.e., found log). When logging the Trackable, you would be given the choice to drop, or "Pit stop" the trackable. The cache page would be unaffected by a "Pit stop" The trackable page would show the "Pit stop" similar to a discovery with a link to the cache page and log the miles to that cache under miles traveled. The user should be automatically taken to the log of the trackable "Pit stop" after posting the find to add comments to the trackables page. (This could prevent the blank entry's of dropping trackables too!) Trackables would NOT be allowed to be dropped to stay in Nano, Virtual, or Earth Caches! I have seen trackable caches designed for the purpose of "electronically" housing trackables, (I don't personally get this) but these should clearly be identified for this purpose and not use the virtual or nano cache identifiers. I think that this is a good compromise and will also help to clean up the site.
