  1. That is not quite correct. According to the WTA FAQ
  2. Curious how the two active caches that are within the filter for Beaux Arts Village are actually in Bellevue City Parks.
  3. All the Wherigo Caches I've found have had a physical cache and logbook to sign. I think if it's listed on the GeoCache side, then it should have a physical cache nature to it.
  4. To all the folks in the Wenatchee area who worked hard to make my visit as enjoyable as it was, Thank You! I found many new locations and came to appreciate your fine city all the more. Up to now, I just knew it as a place to drive through on the way to somewhere else. This is one of the reasons I enjoy caching. To TravisL, who organized the event and served as my personal navigator a big thank you! Great fun and good dinner location too. Thanks again! ~k

    Location

    During the recent Cache Machine weekend in Wenatchee, I noticed several cache locations that were in questionable locations. The result was that two were archived and, perhaps, confused feelings of the cache owners. In one case, private property was not clearly marked and was in an area just outside town, at least a half mile beyond houses along a road that led up into the mountains. When the owner of the property saw a large number of vehicles parking on the side of the road and people walking 200' up an old jeep road, he apparently became very angry and removed the cache. The cache owner only recently joined (may be a sock puppet, may not be) and whose only action on the site is the placement of this cache. The spot was not marked private or no trespassing, so this is a lesson learned by us all. The second cache was located behind a restaurant near a grease pit and garbage location. It stank and was very unappetizing. I didn't find this cache. I heard later the restaurant workers all knew about it and enjoyed watching people look for it. I also heard it was a pretty tricky cache to recognize. Because of some negative comments of people who both found and dnf'd this cache, the cache owner chose to archive it. Two other caches in east Wenatchee were along a canal with very little setback to private property. I don't know where these caches are and could very well be on private property or not. However, I felt very uncomfortable searching so near to private property, especially when there were 10-15 other people looking in places clearly on private property and on objects that should not have a cache on or near. I hope that the many local and experienced Cachers in Wenatchee can reach out to Cachers and help them to recognize where caches can be placed such that they would be proud to bring visitors and out of town friends to see. I know I saw many of those places in Wenatchee this weekend and thoroughly enjoyed my visit because of them. With respect, K
  6. Here's a very nice article from the GS blog on Abbey Wolfe's efforts to place a cache in the North Cascades National Park. It's nice that her efforts are recognized for her work in WSGA and caching!!!
  7. Here was a way to do it all in a day: http://www.cascadecrest100.com/

  9. Please put me down for a set of five. Thanks!
  10. Started a PQ today at 6:30 am PST. It said it ran at 12:00 am but still have not received it.
  11. Here's the story It may have taken place at GCNQKR "Reflective Refuge"
  12. An oldie but a goodie: Gem Cache
  13. Five PQs were generated early this morning but only four were delivered on my Gmail account. Anyone else seen this today?
  14. Thanks Nate. Knowing that it's been looked at and solution is in hand is good.
  15. I've tried to edit the listing of a cache that is in a bookmark, but the system returns an error. Anyone else experience this?
  16. Cool. Weather wouldn't have been a problem this year. On the other hand, I remember growing up and shooting off fireworks in my winter ski jacket. You just never know about the weather round here.
  17. I tried out the new CAaR feature and like the user interface to create a route. On the other hand, when I set one up as a PQ and asked for 500 caches, the resultant PQ seems to only provide 99 caches. Not sure why.
  18. I'm sure glad to see you starting to come back, my friend. Real life will out prioritize things at times and, when that happens, it's best to step back. I miss being confounded and confused and the sharing of emails back and forth and look forward to that again. My best wishes to you and your family. ~K
  19. Sorry I can't make it with you. If I understand the route correctly, you might also want to consider GCMJ51 Bullitt the Blue Sky
  20. I hate when my fingers slip. Title should be RdR (Rey del Roble)
  21. Geocaching: Local devotee has unearthed more than 10,000 little treasures Geocaching, a high-tech game of treasure hunting, is a fad that caught fire, with almost 800,000 caches hidden worldwide. Dave Baumchen has found more than 10,000 of them. Well done article.
  22. Here's just a small bug report. I normaly open up into My Profile. If for some reason, the cookie fails and I'm not logged in, a handy login form at the top right side apears. I try loging in, but it fails and the normal log in page appears.
  23. My doc prescribes Desitin for other things besides diaper rash. Which reminds me of a joke:Patient: I have a Strawberry stuck up my bum. Doctor: I have some cream for that. Devenshire?

    Blackout?

    Much quicker since there already are a couple cachers over there that have cleared out Seattle and keep it cleared out.
