Also occurring for me using Safari. Finally was able to enter through a link on the Wisconsin Geocaching site. Bec

I was going to add something about Darwin & Survival of the Fittest, but decided that I would have sounded insensitive. I'll just let you try to figure out where I was going with this. But just thinking out loud: wouldn't just stating that the cache is a peanut butter container be enought to alert the cacher that those with a peanut allergy should stay away? Bec

There seems to be someone in the southern part of WI who is taking TB tags too. Every once in a while we get a "pirate" (never as spiteful as TheMuggler though). Hopefully it's just a short-lived spree..... Bec

Coordinates are the only language I need to know when geocaching -- that and the terrain stars. Bec

The suspicious party also took the container. I'm in WI, but too far away from the cache to be suspect. Bec

I'm allergic to bleach Me too (seriously!) Myself, I'm actually EXTREMELY allergic to rodents (odd allergy, no?) so I suppose if little critters take up residence or spend significant time in a cache container (by way of a hole, not as a trade item!! []I would probably have a reaction. (sidenote: I once was standing near the open end of an open semi trailer. The scent of rodents was very strong, and I actually had a readtion! What a weenie!) But, as I am allergic to the natural world, I come prepared. I have my inhaler, benedryl, eye drops, epi pen (well, I had one. Gotta get a new one) and a cell phone. Food allergies can be nasty. I've got a strawberry allergy. Thankfully, no one is hiding caches in those little strawberry baskets. Bec

Didn't want to bug you. I thought I could figure it out myself....but that answer was no. Bec

Thank you!!! Bec

I just bought it at an event today. Perhaps the event holder has all the tracking numbers? I am going to email her once I think she's home and rested up some. Just thought maybe someone here would know. Thanks for the help! Bec

Oh -- it's a Team Badger coin. Bec

Just got a geocoin today. However there's no activation number. It's not an already activated coin (I checked). Who do I contact to get the activation number (yes, it's trackable). Bec

Pro was one of my foster greyhounds. He actually came with me when I placed my first cache, so I added his name to it: It was this cache (now archived): Pro's Cache A great dog who lived with me for 3 months before he was adopted. I cried like a baby when he left. Bec

Well obviously, it's a webcam cache....... Bec

I did a cache this past summer. All stages except for the final were virtual and required a bunch of driving -- took about 2 hours (probably since I wasn't from the area.) Went to the final and was certain where it would be, but after probably a half hour search (it was in a smallish area, so there weren't a lot of alternate possibilities, but I checked them all) I came up empty. Went back to my hotel defeated. I returned to the final location the next day. I was at a museum, and the museum knew about the cache (you actually had to get the clue sheet and sign a waiver form at the museum prior to attempting this one). The docent went to the cache location and confirmed that the cache was gone, but found a notebook and allowed me to sign it as the "proxy" log and told me I could claim the find. The cache was replace a couple days later. I felt weird not actually finding the cache -- had I not been given a "log" to sign and reassurance from the museum I would have claimed a DNF. Probably should have claimed a DNF in reality, and I feel guilt over it. But I kept the smiley...... Bec

And it's a cache that has been placed since 2/2004. That's a pretty good run. Probably previous homeowners had no issue with the cache (if they knew about it), but perhaps this is someone new, and they object. Sounds like the homeowner is just trying to keep other cache hunters safe from dangerous animals and possible lawsuits to them. If there was a cache 200 feet from my house I's want to know what people were doing in that area (if I wasn't a cacher). My dogs would be going nuts too, but only because they weren't getting attention. Bec

That did it! Thanks!! Just about 15 minutes ago I was looking at the Empty Cache option and giggled at how funny it sounded. Had I only realized how sometimes an Empty Cache is a good thing.... Closing topic. Bec

If there is another topic on this, please direct me and I will close this one. I don't get all the nifty tabs on my profile page. I've tried the shift refresh thing. I have links at the top of my profile, but no tabs. At work I also use a Mac, but it's running Windows, so I have seen all the neat new stuff, but at home it's not so exciting. Anyway to fix this? (No, I'm not planning on getting a new non-Mac computer) Bec

It's all about the numbers......(hence the survey) Bec

I had an ACL replacement too (a few years back), and then a patellar fixation & quadriceps reattachment shortly thereafter (when they say avoid ice after an ACL repair, LISTEN!) On the cold winter days and after a few too many geocaches, I get a little limpy myself and feel my age....which is 36 (37 in a couple months). But I feel MUCH younger! Bec

WI geocacher here. No news of ammo cans with wires have been reported so far (I live close to Madison WI, and there have been reports of pipe bomb type things found in Madison that were NOT geocaches lately). All geocaches placed in the city of Madison require a sort of registration through the city of Madison. Bec

I've always liked clearpath's avatar....and my scalp! Bec

<------- I love my avatar. It would look great on a hiking staff. Amish Hacker created it. I don't know if he knows how much it means to me, but I think it's the best avatar ever! <The following statement is not meant to seek votes, just a little info on why I REALLY love my avatar.> My geocaching name was created due to my super geo-dog Catmandoo (but we call him Cat). Cat went along on a few geocaching outings when I started, but now he's 14 years old and has lumbosacral stenosis (a seriously disabling condition in greyhounds. It's slowly taking his ability to move away from him). He's the sweetest dog in the world, and long before his mind is ready to leave his earthly home, his body will make it necessary. According to the vets, he's got only a short amount of time left with me. By keeping this geocaching name, I will always be honoring my dear heart-dog (no other greyhound will ever be my true geo-grey.) Bec

What is the point of letting you know that X number of people are watching your cache......? Bec

I tried to run it on 10.3.9 too (thinking that maybe I'D get a break somehow). Blah!! Bec

Well, all geocachers exist. I don't believe there are any non-existing geocachers.......ghosts tend to mess with electronic equipement, and therefore the GPSr just wouldn't work. Sorrym had to be a pain in the butt!!! Bec I geocache, therefore I am!
