that would be an evil one. ask manager for coords to stage 2!

even if you can't find it, you're rewarded with some spectacular views!

Good luck however I can't imagine something any easier than GSAK and the FindStats generator. not all of us are rocket scientists

Since i'm bike only, I don't bother if its more than 3 miles away because the hounds with cars will always beat you[it'll still be there later anyway]

that happened to me. magnets were there but container gone. logged a dnf.

I usually put a five spot into each new hide. they can then buy what they want with it.

The problem with prefab containers is they're hard at first then when word gets out, you know exactly what to look for. e.g. fake sprinkler, fake rock, fake rebar, fake chewing gum. . . . well you get the point.

DON'T drop travel bugs / geocoins into a cache online BEFORE its published. there are bugs in the system that allow UNPUBLISHED caches to be found if they have travelers dropped in them before being published. the finder can always grab it from you if you haven't gotten around to dropping it after publish.

Sounds like it worked out OK. I don't get the cautionary part of the tail? It took 22 years before he got to make a decision It took 22 years before he found the cache? Must have been a 5/5 to take that long to find it

If its a mountain hide and difficulty is 3 or higher i'll sneak a peak[assuming theres a hint] If its an urban, i don't need hints to lift a lamp post cover or check a guard rail

I said EASY so that rules out GSAK! thank you

You know you are addicted to caching when you post "You know you are addicted to caching" threads

theres two of those near a cache of mine. NOTE: i said near, not on or in or under or on top of.

simple. just do in winter. it'll stick out like sore thumb!

you can't see through the smoke?

I do. i can't count the times ive missed out on a FTF to a cacher with a car

Yeah but what can we do about it, change their mind? Just tell'em to trade up, trade even or don't trade at all. LOL! Gotta ask... what would be trading up from a cap gun? A glock 9mm

Something magnetic and colored the same as the pole comes to mind...... A blinkie

I had that geocoin not that long ago.

Reason people hate multi's is all it takes is one dnf on one of the stages to deny them a smiley.

the meanest ive found so far is the little "blinkies" HATE em! the meanest spot: a place with 999999999999999 rocks and clue is "under a rock"

In a perfect world it'd all be ammo cans and lock n' locks. I've only found one ziplock and that was in the bushes. if they're checked and replaced regularly i guess its ok.

Tip1: place explicit permission on the listing. Tip2: place house number in hint Tip3: if your container has a combination lock, don't try to make a puzzle out of the combo.

Course with a 7 degree drop for every 1000 feet, it'd be almost 30 degrees cooler at the top.

Didn't we all get swatted by our mothers when we were seven or eight for doing this? But mothers plants didn't have a 35mm film cannister with a slip of paper in it!
