    I am making a caching trail where the final co-ordinates need to be solved using a picture in the write-up. For some reason I cant figure out how to include the photo ... any help would be appreciated -- thanks

    Hi there - I was also having trouble with activating a coin but oak coins got back to me today - I messed up with '1' & 'I' - my e-mail got blocked so I couldn't recheck the activation code - I've had nothing but excellent support from Oak Coins - just hang in there - they'll come through for you :unsure::);)

    I want to do an event/ treasure hunt with our Sunday school class one evening.

    I would like to do it "private" so the cache are not disrupted.

    I could just do it with envelopes for coordinates etc.

     

    Does anyone know of a way to do A PRIVATE GEOCACHE WIHIN GEOCACHING??

    Or, SUGGESTIONS for doing it on my own??

    Hi there - one of our teachers at a local school is running a private cache search - what he is doing is getting some of the local cachers to hide caches and supply him with the co-ords and write-ups - maybe not the best but it works :)

    Completely, totally discouraged

    :ph34r: I also am discouraged and a bit disappointed in the way my first coin released into the wild turned out - I dropped it at an event - the organizer knew the designer of the coin and requested that he be allowed to move it to get the icon - (it was a nice one) - I agreed and haven't heard from him or my coin since (over 6 mos) :D - what can I say - win some lose some - I really am having a hard time convincing myself to release any more - 2 of three TB's have gone MIA as well :P:D

    HEY, you don't have to be from out of country to NOT receive a mystery coin at an event.

     

    BUT as for non event things, there are other ways that these coins get to certain cachers :laughing::D

    I know what you are saying - I guess I just see the positive results - the lucky ones and feel left out that I couldn't be there to share in the fun and excitement of the finds and events even if I wasn't the one on the receiving end :D

    Hey, eklector...how did your event go?

    we had beautiful weather and had a great time - a good way to meet cachers when you move into a new area - we had a good response tho a few who said they were coming didn't - to be expected I guess another one planned for fall I hope :laughing::D:D

    After reading about all these wonderful mystery coins and coin give-aways at events, who else feels left out and a bit depressed because of thier inability to visit caches that have the coins or visit events where these wonderful coins appear?? :laughing::D:D

    The Official Travel Bug Obituary....

    Posted

    I don't want to give false hope here but we came upon a cache accidentally that had not been found for two years - a well meaning muggle/tourist had moved it to the campground office where they didn't know what to do with it - after talking a while they asked us if this was what we were hunting - gave it to us and we replaced it to its co-ords (plus a deviation to prevent this happening again) - there were two TB's in it that had been lost during that time - we grabbed them and started them on thier mission again - Don't give up hope they may show up again - I have a couple that are 'lost' as well - I live in hope :blink:

    How do you display and store your coins?

    in Trackables

    Posted

    The way I store and disply my coins - I made a display board - Two pieces of plexiglass with a matt board or plastic cardboard between them with the holes cut individually for each coin - the round coins are easy to cut but the shaped coins present a bit more challenge - then I set the whole assembly on a plate display stand - that way you can take them to events to show them without risk of losing or marring them ;)

    Garmin gpsmap 60CSx

    Posted

    I have some additional questions - I am new to the cx60 - how do I load multiple maps onto the memory card and then swap them / pick and chose which map to load - I am using the maps that came with my legend - is that part of the problem - I can only load a small portion of the country at a time and would like to have all of it on my GPSr even if I can't load it all - the map tiles are fairly small and I run into limitations due to the sheer number of tiles I am trying to load -(topoCANADA)

    A Muggle Find

    in General geocaching topics

    Posted

    After doing my research and getting required permissions I placed the final stage of a multi in a holding pasture for our local agribition and rodeo grounds. It was a 5 gallon pail filled with assorted goodies. however one of the locals took it upon himself to 'protect' the pasture, confronting several of the cachers that came searching - (being in cowboy country firearms are not unusual accessories ) - fortunately one of the cachers knew me and also explained to him what this game was all about. Later that week we were talking over coffee, and he started talking about my cache - said he went and had a look - checked out the stash and even signed the log - thot it was a neat game idea and now was looking forward to seeing others stumble about as he put it - case in point were being honest paid off - the guy refered to himself as 'the friendly muggler' :lol:

    Excuses To Muggles

    in General geocaching topics

    Posted

    I've had several encounters with geo-muggles - one was at a very well hidden cache inside a mall - hidden on a phone booth - (cache now archived- reasons unknown) while I was searching for it several people approached and I faked heart trouble - (I knew how to do that because just prior to the incident I didn't have to fake it) and I told them I was OK - I just needed to rest a bit . - As I sat on the floor several security personel showed up , prepared to call the ambulance :lol: - it took a bit of talking but I convinced them that I didn't need another expensive high speed ride to the hospital - the diversion did work rather well tho ;)
