Manville Possum

I use an Android app that stores cache and map data. What device does the OP use?

I went back and forth via email and face to face for over 5 years with the State of Tennessee. It paid off. We got to place a cache that was constantly muggled.

I'm always to the point, and I understand it's difficult to explain geocaching to someone that has never heard of. I have asked people like park rangers, land managers, city mayors, and our local sheriff. I would start off the conversation by asking if they know anything about GPS, then attempt to explain geocaching from that angle. Again, this is my experience, not my advice to you.

Nothing works better than asking in person, face to face. Really long emails asking for permission may not get the same response. Just my opinion from my experiences of asking and being asked permission. Emails often go ignored, and most often are declined.

Really a good question, why is there no customer service here from Groundspeak? Complaints to them go ignored unlike their geocaching service. Have they totally pulled out and left?

If you read the posting requirements, I not only met them, but I exceeded them. I'm not an artist with HTML code like many here and that should not matter. What should really matter is that I'm a GS customer that is trying to use one of their services to play Waymarking. Those were not old vacation photos, I visited Surgoinsville to take pictures of the air navigation structures for the new category and saw that PD and thought it was interesting. I'm tired of playing this game by first looking at category leaders and officers that I know well to avoid. Trust me, I would have avoided that category altogether if I had not enjoyed taking those photos of that PD and wanted them listed as a WM.

Yep, it's back. I think I'll set this one out.

I have about 20 BM's like that listed on the Waymarking site. It's a good place to share photos and coordinates.

Yes, especially on my visit photos. Really, they are just proof of visit photos for my collection here.

Yes, codes do get passed around. I once found an interesting Waymark that had a geocoin nailed to a post. It was fun, something a little different.

In both examples, the CO states they can no longer maintain the geocache is the reason they archived the listings.

I have thought about attaching a discover only TB inside of an ammo can along with a traditional log book.

It's killing Waymarking. Just like any other problematic cache type.

When I WM'd the Surgoinsville Police Department I thought I understood the category and it was quite simple. I was shocked by the reviewers comments and name calling, and did nothing to provoke this. If I made mistakes, those could be worked on. I added links to the PD and 3 photos. Did I do something wrong or did the reviewer just use this opportunity to insult me? It's not right. I have feelings too.

Really, Waymarking is tough to use without name calling other members.

Wow. Same here after a nudge. How funny a NA gets prompt action from the inactive.

Even fake ones.

I have always allowed it. It's the fake finds, no signature, no photo, and they post on my cache page that they did not sign the log gets a delete.

So now that you have cyber stalked me you know the truth. I let about anything stand on my listings. Even the one on my Wherigo that had a bat roosting on it. But also note that I once owned caches in the hundreds and I'm slowly weeding them out and archiving them. Lots of nuts out there in the geocaching world. Stalkers, ect.

I have used organic ink from polk berries on a sharpened twig.

My geocaches are maintained and are signable so I don't have that problem.

No, it's more simple just to block you and not get trolled.

No, I'm not getting pulled into you twisting my words to make it look as if everyone should play by my rules. Only on my geocaches, not those of others. I was asked a question about what I allow on MY geocaches and I require a signature on MY log book if the finder wants to log it as found online. Really quite simple to understand don't you think?

As long as you sign it I accept it. Edit to add: My geocaches are not tiny little micros and contain a pencil unless removed.

No signature, no find. Photo logs are not accepted. Most of these "I forgot my pen" logs are fake. I don't believe Groundspeak supports photo logs either and if I allow them my geocache listings can be archived by HQ. My rule # 1 is if you don't sign a log is not to mention it in your online log for everyone to read. My style of geocaching is to sign the log, take a picture of my signature and upload it with my finds log to the cache page
