    This is a preview of a coin I'm having made to mark my 5k milestone, it will be trackable, it's close to the final design and should be ready in a month or so.

    Are Tbs With Weird Goals Frowned Upon?

    in Trackables

    Posted

    My wife's fifth grade class released a TB by the name of Little D. Little D is the DARE Lion. The class released it after their Graduation from the DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) program. Little D's goal is to travel all over having his picture taken with DARE vehicles and let cachers know what the DARE program is about. He has been photographed a few times so far.

     

    I would like to get a hotwheels sort of car to do the same sort of thing. but am not having any luck locating such a car to use as a TB. As a truck driver I have seen many of the Dare cars out there. and some of them are pretty sharp looking.

    How Do I Classify My New Cache.

    in General geocaching topics

    Posted

    am working on a new cache, and am not sure how it will be classified.

     

    this is how it will work.

     

    step one will take caches to a sign, of area interest in my town. they will get numbers off of the sign. and write them down.

     

    next step will take them to another part of town to get more numbers.

     

    once they get the numbers they fill in the coordinates for where the cache is at about 2 miles away at a nice park.

     

    is that ok to do as well. and how would it be classified.

     

    thanks...

     

    PS. the areas where the numbers are gotten are not areas where a micro would be very appropriate. ie city hall building or court house. (those just examples but close to the truth.)

    Where To Look?

    in General geocaching topics

    Posted

    The meditation method - lightly scan a 30' radius around GZ, find a nice spot to sit, close your eyes and ask for the mojo... where is the mojo...?

     

    Last time I did that. after 10 minutes of sitting there, I realized I was SITTING on the cache container. :lol:

    oppps :P but it did work. I found the mojo :P

    n4vdj retrieved Motel--Hotel (Travel Bug Dog Tag) from Windy Hill Cache #3 TBGKEY

     

    placed in tb graveyard. but would like to have it out of there

    emails sent to n4vdj and no replies

     

    This could be the guy n4vdj. It has an email address.

     

    will send emails again to this guy and see what happens. but if no luck on emails, does anyone in his area know the guy, I really would like my TB to be moving. it only logged about 49 miles before I placed it into the grave yard.

    Phony Muggles?

    in General geocaching topics

    Posted

    :lol: Ever played phony muggle to someone you thought was geocaching?

     

    Did that a few weeks ago when I went to drop off a tb at a cache. was acting like I was just another truck driver stretching his legs and getting some needed break from behind the wheel. they were determinded to find the cache. and I needed to head down the road. so I just dropped the bug at another cache. :P

     

    ok it was fun playing muggle. gave me a good chuckle for a few miles as well. on how they were trying to not find the cache, but yet locate it. thing was they were way off on where it was located. hehehe

    Bookmark Lists

    in Website

    Posted

    I have created a bookmark list of trucker friendly caches, and stumbled across a list at a cache I had bookmarked by another truckdriver. :D

     

    now how does one go about finding the lists other than going through cache at a time looking at the bookmarked lists? :D

     

    I have searched around and looked and all I can find in my own bookmark list. am I haveing a brain cramp or something? :laughing:

    How Often Do You Think About Geocaching?

    in General geocaching topics

    Posted

    as an over the road truck driver, I go down the road and say, hey there a neat area for a cache, or in a rest area that has no caches. I walk around during my breaks and say now there a cleaver spot and not a MICRO spot either.

     

    ok I hate micros, but to each their own. I wished there were more rest area caches out there for us truckers to actually take small breaks to find. I have a small list started but want to find more.

    Another Example Of A TB Prison Gone Wrong

    in Trackables

    Posted

    While caching my way back from Florida this past Friday I stopped at one TB hotel and snagged 5 TBs but didn't leave any. 4 of the 5 had been sitting in the cache for 30 days or more and the one that had been in there less than 30 days I could help it on its mission so I grabbed it.

     

    What I really wish Groundspeak would do is to allow us to mark a TB as missing -- especially if we visited the cache and personally verified that the TB was not in the cache.

     

    I was at a cache today, this is my second time to it to drop off and pick up tb's and there are 2 listed on the page that are no longer in the cache. they havent been in there for about 2 months from what I could tell from the logs.

    I have several TB with goals to have pictures taken with them. one is of vintage cars. another that I just releases is to have it's picture taken at casinos, and then hopefully make it to a Televised Texas Hold em trourniment. :laughing:

     

    another one I am working on now, I would like it to visit different Pubs of the USA and World.

     

    so as you see, with in reason is the key, I have had some nice pictures taken with several of mine and I really appreciate the photos when I get/see them. :laughing:

    Another Example Of A TB Prison Gone Wrong

    holding onto a TB for a year just to start his own Prison? :) that not right, I stopped by a cache not long ago and found that the TB's had been there almost 2 months. I grabbed all of them and got them on the way again. :D I want my TB's to move, but I also dont want them to end up MIA either :D

    Tb Question, It This Ok To Do

    in Trackables

    Posted

    Have a question, and not sure if it ok what I am doing or not.

     

    after I activate my Tb's that I am sending out. I drop and grab from one of my caches.

    I do this as a starting reference point. and then take the bug with me on the road and then place in a cache where I would like it to start.

     

    I am a truck driver ( Long haul ) and my own caches dont get visited that often. :) ( am not complaining about that either, since the caches are on my own property, out in the middle of no where) :D

     

    is this ok to do? or do other people do the same thing??

    :o thanks to all those that responded to my question. this will help me out alot. as I am trying to get a list of 18 wheeler accessable caches for the states I visit. I know a slow process.

     

    I am dont always have time to stop for every cache, but would love to have it on the drawlayer so if I do have time. I can see in advance and try to find it. the other reason is to help move tb's along that I may find. this way I know in advance where the tb motels or larger caches are. I heard some one else is makeing up a list for truckers as well and would like to help out where I can.
