I've got better things to do than brood on the past ... let's go caching, who's coming along!!!
Very well said!

Just wondering how other cachers feel about the new trend to log Virtual caches that are overseas without leaving South Africa and googling the answers that are required.
We always thought that one had to actually go to the spot and find the answer to what was asked!
IT'S WRONG! A virtual cache has a real location. I can think of 3 or 4 virtual cache in places I have been to 30 or more years ago. I know I could answer the questions to count it as a log. Should I count them as logs? NO! Finding the answer as to log it without visiting defeats the purpose of geocaching.

We believe that one should always log a did not find, if you did not find the cache.
What if you absolutely know the cache is gone? For example, today I went to check on "Just Call Me Stumpy". I know the cache container was hidden in a crack in a large stump from an email from the last person to find it. That stump has been wash away during a flash flood as I thought it would. Should I log it as a DNF? I don't feel bad if I don't becuase I know for sure it is missing. I did log a note.
I searched for a cache that the last several logs were DNF's and did not find it. I talked myself into not logging it at all. Three weeks later I logged it as a DNF, I figured I knew the last several logs were DNF's and I could have chosen not to look for it and since I choose to look for it anyway I should log it as a DNF.
My numbers only mean something to me, so I log my DNF's as such. My big question is, is it really a DNF if it is truly missing?

What happens to the pocket queries and bookmarks on accounts the expire? Are they still there after renewing?

I seen mentions of Cache Machines. My search only came up with prior cache machines. I couldn't find anything describing what they are. What exactly is a cache machine?
Thanks

If you go back and see little colored balls laying around, then that's what it was.

I'm just curious about those paintballl guns. Are those little balls that get left behind biodegradable? If not- it's a fairly bad form of litter- and they should be fined.

Paintballs contain no paint at all. Paintballs are edible but taste really bad. They are made from gelitan shells and filled with frutose fill.
