  1. I did Beta test my recent mystery cache. I had my 7th grade son run through the math part, and yes, he found several typos on my part. I then had another person run through it as well.

     

    The "mystery" part of mine is finding the plaques themselves, the actual data itself is uninteresting. And of course there is the physical cache itself in an urban location.

     

    See 80 Feet of Waterline, Nicely Making Way.

     

    Sadly, I designed this to be snow proof but MIT has not cooperated with snow plowing. The few visitors have enjoyed it.

  2. I was looking for part II of an urban micro, coords written on the back of a very covered up bulletin board. Another couple asked me, "What are you looking for?" (They were about 5 yards away.)

     

    I told them "Numbers!"

     

    They were also geocachers!

     

    I don't see any reason to lie. If someone asks, I tell them what I am doing.

  3. Fantastic idea!

     

    I am not in a chair but have worked with people with disabilities before. When I designed my latest cache, I really wanted it to be wheelchair accessible. I think I managed all except the cache retrieval itself. Note, the person using the wheelchair can find the cache, they just can't retrieve it.

     

    See 80 Feet of Waterline, Nicely Making Way which is on the MIT campus outside of Boston. Sadly, snow can be a problem at this site.

  4. I picked up a TB this weekend. But I can't log the pickup because the bug itself is listed as still being in someone else's possession. Yes, they placed it into a cache and didn't log the placement. I've of course emailed them but they are over quota so they don't get the emails. I'll wait until the holidays are over then try again. But what am I suppossed to do if the official holder of the cache never gets back to me?

     

    Thanks
