I've gone back to a few, some to pick up a TB, others to drop off a TB. I always use the add a note login.

Any chance of going to the library and making a copy of the article?

No real excuse for not just dumping it in the nearest drive-by cache, but let me throw out a few points.
_1._ Not everyone lives, breathes, and dreams geocaching. Some people don't do it every week. As much as I'd like to, it's not always in the cards.
_2._ When you put out a Travel Bug or geocache you've left its future up to the Fates. Some will disappear, some will be vandalized or stolen, some will hibernate, and some will travel from one spectacular cache location to another and be logged 20 minutes afterwards.
_3._ Patience.
Along with patience is communication, which I notice you didn't mention. Let the owner know whats up.

When I found Mtn-Man's Rover on 9-11, he had a luggage tag attached to it with detailed instructions of what to do. I wish I had done the same with my first TB's, would probably not be missing 4 of them.

Here's a group of caches that p***ed me off earlier today:
http://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest_cache.asp?zip=48040&dist=8&submit1=Submit are available only if you are staying in one particularly dismal KOA pavement predominant campground. I used to live in that area and was looking for some ammo to try to entice friends in that area to try this thing, and I come across this.
Is this sort of thing common? Any cachers in Michigan that know about this situation? That area has huge tracts of available park land that would be excellent caching places, and this doofus puts all the caches in a KOA. Within one mile of that KOA there's a wonderful, public, park with trails, etc. that would be great.
Ok, sorry, [rant-off]
Back to your regularly scheduled Penguin.

I wish I could get those caches off my unfound screen. I have no intention of looking for them. Most of his others were quite lame, thus I quit looking for them. His only good one is burried on a beach where wave action hides digging activity.

I prefer ammo cans. Paintable, waterproof, animal proof, and about the same price as tupperware. For micros, I use film cannisters. Reletivly water proof, paintable, easily hidden.

All been said in several threads in the past if any browsing had been done.

There's one cacher in this area who placed a cache with a friend. While hiding it, the friend asked,"do you think people will come way out here to find this?" His reply was, "Of course, in fact, the first one will probably be Clay." After I found it, he emailed to thank me for not letting him down. hehe

WOW, those do look nice. Quite a lot bigger than the loony and toony! Had to go get a toony off my dresser to get a size comparison. Great job.

soooooooieeeee! I must be one of them. I have 13 first finds. My first hunt last year was a virgin. Just so happens it was placed a couple days before I read about Geocaching in the paper. Some, others could not find. One still has only one visit. (4mi from shore) Am I a hog? Maybe. Do other cachers like finding my Tibetian prayer flags in the cache when their the second finder? I think so, it's usually taken by that person. Oink,oink,oink,oink.....

Any GPS you buy will work anywhere in the world. My Garmin 38 has a country menu to help reduce the amount of time it takes to locate the satilites in a new area. It's fun to keep your far off trips in the memory for later refrence. Have fun in C.R.

I thought it was only fitting that I get some of them, I'm always checking the Canada thread, and expecially with Canada to the North, East, and South of me.

A kazoo
After I read in the paper about Geocaching, I looked up the close ones,(doesn't everybody?) found on 3 miles from work and found it the next day. Left a toy carabiner. I was the first finder. Is that called a first/first?

Markwell, thanks for saying how I think everyone feels about this sport. You have taught many of us with your post here in the forum.
Paul, What if you take your therapist on a cache hunt, then he/she will see the light!!

Sounds like his caches are turning into geotrash. What if you write to Jeremy and let him know what you did. Have him contact the owner, if no response, he can then archive them and you could take over ownership. Are the others hidden very well? If not, they will probably be plundered before long also. Doesn't sound like much of a responsible cache owner. Hope he doesn't plant too many in WI.

Good luck with Lord Baltimore, not only is he missing, but so is the cache he was "left" at. It hasn't been found since early July.

Originally posted by smoochnme:On one of my earlier hunts, the weatherman was calling for 1 to 3 inches of snow. I figured "no big deal" and went on the hunt. By the time I found the cache on the top of a ridge in PA, there were 6 inches of snow on the ground and it was still snowing hard. "White out" conditions prevailed at times. Fortunatly I punched my car location as a waypoint and was able to navigate out using a different path. By the time I got home there were 12 inches of snow on the ground.
It all turned out fine, but could have been worse! My biggest fear was that my GPS would not function in the storm. It did fine!
I wish the weather forcasters here would tell us lies like that. Usually, it's the other way around. 10" of snow on the way, only to have 2" fall.

I was on an island in Lk Erie looking for a cache when I could hear thunder in the distance. I had already set up my tent, so when the storm hit just as I found the cache, I ran back and jumped into the tent to go through the cache. Made for a relaxing log entry.

TJ,
Are there any outdoor stores in your area? Anywhere GPS's are sold might be a good spot to post a note, even talk to the sales people about it and get the word out. I must admit, I never heard of Gander until I saw a news story about all the hospitality your comunity put forth to all the redirected travelers on 9-11. That was truly heartwarming.

Better late than never, congradulations to my neighbors to the north, east and south. Way to go!!
Travel bug to Japan?
in Trackables
Posted
There are 6 caches in Japan. Look at the seek a cache page. None have been found this year. There is a travel bug in one of them. IMO, if you want your bug to go to another country and come back, it would be best to send it to a country with a lot of active cachers, such as Australia, England, Canada (I hardly call this a forein country due to seeing it out my bedroom window while growing up). Sorry if I missed any other countries.
