Yeah, I've thought of that . . . Luckily, the park is next to a creek with lots of surrounding vegatation, etc., so I figure I should be able to get it hidden well enough to discourage muggles.

I got excited when I found these

I don't have a problem with it at all!! In fact, the "theme" for my next cache is going to be "Non-Vital Remains"!! (Thanks for the idea).
All that will be in the cache is a small pair of hair-scissors, fingernail clippers, and a large number of tiny zip-loc bags. Finders will be encouraged to "leave something", and "take nothing"!!

I had a bit of extra time today, so I thought I'd add a few more to your collection (in no specific order):
And, of course, my favorite:
Oops, you'll have to Click Here to see it because I can only post 10 pictures per post
.Enjoy!

I got quite the chuckle today . . . you've gotta' admire the honesty of the cacher who logged this DNF today on one of my recently placed, easy "Multi-Puzzle" caches:
Log Date: 5/16/2004I thought I would be able to find this one without using any coordinates or doing the intermediate stages. Apparently I was wrong. I would have done the multi the right way, but I decided I needed to find a bathroom; so I'll come back another time.
Anybody else care to share your "Funniest Log Entry"??!!??

Here's the bike I've been using ever since I got it new, for Christmas, 30 years ago!
It takes me everywhere and, BTW, that's my caching-buddy in the background and he just loves that bike!

Speaking of codes, this was the final clue to a three-leg puzzle cache I recently placed:
So far, both finders commented that it was the easiest puzzle cache they ever did.
Oh well, back to the ol' drawingboard . . .

Although I'm fairly new to geocaching (only 6 active hides and 11 finds)
, I'm realizing that it's becoming much more gratifying for me to place a well thought-out cache, than it is to seek.Although seeking a cache always provides that "thrill of the hunt" sensation, along with the "Ah Ha!! I found it!" few minutes of excitement, I'm finding that the real joy of geocaching for me is thinking about where (and how) to place my next cache, reading the logs for caches I've placed, maintaining my caches, and dealing with problems that arise (such as when one of my caches got 'muggled', and was subsequently returned).
I guess I'm just a sentimental "people-pleaser", but it always makes my feel great when I hear that someone got a bit of joy and fun out of finding a cache that I placed.
So, how's 'bout you?? Are you a "Hider", or a "Seeker"?

Uhh . . . what was the question again??

Only 18 caches within 4 miles, 0.36 per square mile.
I guess I better get busy!!

I recieved the same e-mail in question. I personally don't view it as spam, it was politely written and, if you read the last sentence in this paragraph I pulled from the e-mail, your course of action is made clear:
BTW, we are sending this email out to those of you who visited caches in ourarea. If you would like to get future notifications of our events please
send us your actual email address. Likewise, if you know of someone else
who might want to be added to our contact list, email us back with their
information. It'll be easier than retrieving it from their profile page.
If you'd rather not get these notifications, just let us know.
Hope this helps,

Jeez . . . even the dictionary says the correct pronunciation of "Iron" is: "Eye-Orne"
Oh . . the 'Eye-Orne-Eee' of it all . . .

Well, mine doesn't off-road well, but it gets me from cache to cache very quickly!!

I typically leave a US $1 Sacagawea gold coin for the FTF. That's how I post it on the cache page - ". . . for the First to Find". I consider it as a little something extra for the cacher who made the effort to find it first (for some reason, it's usually found first by somebody in the middle of the night, right after it's posted
). You gotta' admire that cacher who gets there first, especially if it's 3 am! Anyway, I consider the FTF item a "prize", and don't expect a trade in return.
Just my $0.02,

Well, since we're on the topic of tombstones, I thought I'd add one of my favorites.
See if you can figure out why the epitaph is rather "un-flattering", to say the least . . . Look Closely . . .
The tombstone is real, and is located in Montreal, Canada.
Here's a hint: read the first letter of each line vertically, from top to bottom.
