What I want to know is why he limited himself to so few states? In for a penny, in for a pound, I say. Log all fifty US states or else, don't bother.

I think I'll make a resolution to add wherever I can to the swag. If I "think globally, act locally" I may play my (admittedly very small) part to help out with this problem. One of my caches had a Rod Stewart cassette tape in it for over a year. I know why it wasn't traded. That thing was priceless, baby. How do you put a value on that? No one was able to trade up.

That is awesome - especially when you consider that the reviewers do this for the love of the hobby and have their own lives to lead too. Our local reviewer (mtn-man) is awesome also. (Where is the love smiley when you need it... <3)

Why is so important to the organiser anyways? 99% of this hobby is based on the honour system. I know I'm not checking the logs of my caches to make sure everyone who claims they have found them have. Does anyone else? I've been at some events for hours and some for minutes. (Then there was one event where someone stood talking to me all night and so it felt like I had been there all day.... ) The time frame is not important at all.

Thank you so much for bring this back. So much more convenient now.

Well I got rid of that annoying banner using a combo of Firefox and Adblock. I still need my friends find counts back please. Thank heavens I got to 1000 before my milestone was erased from that page.

I wrote about my disappointment it was removed on a different thread and it was ignored. (All of us who mentioned it were). Hopefully TPTB don't ignore this thread...

Well at least having Friends on the geocaching site is now useless. I used to care about what they were up to, how many new finds they had etc. Now, to go to all the trouble of clicking through their profiles? Forget it. I guess I need not make any more friends. Will this "fix" be fixed?

Thank you! That makes sense to me.

According to the wiki, you can have a limit of 2000 geocaches on the Oregon. Is that 2000 total or 2000 not yet found. Does anyone know - the wiki is unclear. http://garminoregon.wikispaces.com/Geocaching Many thanks!

I never thought of that... great idea. I'll try that on my next cache and see how well it works. I guess this is the reason Groundspeak suggested you post this here first.

The number is in the log also.

Best for last. Yippee! I did read the circumstances under which you replaced the micros. My comment was born more out of the frustration I feel whenever I've been unable to find even 1/1 micros (that people find the same day as me even!) My comment was intended to be humourous, but it may come across as rude. I apologise for that. Happy caching!

I ah...rest my case! Seeing the OP has admitted to making a mistake and is willing to rectify said mistake, what good did this post do? I could say the same about your post. Indeed, yours is worse. Now, having read enough to see the OP admit their mistake I could delete my post. However with your quoting mine, there is no way I can remove it completely now, can I? Speck, meet thine eye.

What an awesome idea! I'm going caching in future with a dozen or so micros. I am never going to log a DNF again! /sarcasm

I know. Reading this from Canada makes me a little freaked out at some of the people living down south of us. They are either quite paranoid or justified because of the number of bombs placed in urban settings.

I posted a picture with my log for GC1GBBB. A couple of logs later, someone posted that seeing my picture made their find too easy. I deleted that picture. I would ask the person to delete their picture. Like me, they probably didn't realise it was too big a spoiler.

I use Firefox and Adblock Plus along with a java script blocker. I used another computer last week (that only had Internet Explorer) and was SHOCKED at how many ads etc. cluttered every webpage I typically visit. I never see them. The internet is a much quieter place with Firefox.

I chose the Oregon over the 60CSx for the paperless caching options. So far, so good.

That is really neat - it certainly looks like you put a lot of effort into coming up with this system. I may just try it out - although warning - with only 55 finds, my score is unlikely to be very impressive. I need to hold a few events - that ought to do it!

Download the .kml file into Google Earth. Then you've got them all on the map right there with icons.

Sorry Patrick. I know it is hard to tell from photos (guys and gals sometimes just look alike these days), but I am a dude and I am straight. Flattery can get your cache that is too close to another one published though, so call me. Maybe we can hang out and cruise the local park for babes. Somehow I think this comment was aimed at your DOG and not so much at YOU. Um, if you look at my profile, you will see that I *am* a dog. Oh. My mistake.

[i've also posted this to the BC Geocaching forums.] Hi I'm Jacqueline. Most of the time I cache on the weekend, as time permits, with my 3 year old son and hubby. The problem is hubby doesn't always want to join me. I've cached alone, and just with son - and both are fine, but I much prefer to be part of a group. I discovered this a few times when meeting up with cachers at cache sites and pausing to talk and share stories. It would be nice to do something similar on a more organised basis. I live near UBC, so west side Vancouver caching has been my thing. There are still many more for me to grab around here before I move further east. Daytrips appeal to me also. Let me know if you are looking for a caching buddy, or to take a newbie under your wing.

Hear here! Not all cachers are like that, so I am sorry you are getting discouraged. I'm a newb too, but so far I'm getting a really positive vibe. Although, I don't really attend events because I'm pretty shy at social events. It is a goal of mine to meet more cachers. Maybe you'll come down to Vancouver some time.
