Lots of people want to be the first to log a cache, precisely because there can only be one person that is first, but to attach a derogatory sounding label to someone who is a little more eager about being first? I don't think that is necessary. When I retire in about 500 years, I will use my free time to finally get my "first finds" in, and the more the better. (Gotta make up for the frustration of just missing being first for so long ). Not at all...just trying to ask a question that's all. I have been first many times. I have seen logs critizing others/myself because they are happy they are first so I thought I'd get an opinion from others before I try to be first

when can start by being more responsible when we hide caches. If it is a remote area maybe make the hiding place more noticable but if you put a cache in a well visited area make it small or hide it very well or use the location you want the person to visit the place to get the coordinates for the cache

at least they didn't blow it up. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.asp?ID=3893 and you could use the story for when you rehide it.

An umbrella is part of my caching gear. Looks like some snow shoes will be soon. quote:Originally posted by oregone: You mean that some people geocache when it's not raining? So that's what life is like outside of Oregon and Washington. all rights reserved, all wrongs reversed

a cloth nautical bag and a great adventure that got me hooked on Geocaching

not real good at Ms. Pacman but make it Half-Life or Quake and we're on.

Depends on if it is a solo trip or family. If it is solo I prefer to go for 1 or 2 caches that involves beautiful scenery and a decent hike, normally 3+ terrains and difficulties and not very close to other caches(i.e Ape Caves or any of the gorge caches). If the family is going then we hit the 1-2 difficulties/terrain and try to get ones close to one another so we get 4-5 of these done(ie my Springwater caches).
