  1. try taking a screen shot of your puzzle and adding it as a picture to the cache page or import the excel document into an image file and save it as a jpg.
  2. use a magnetic plate or strip of magnet, write on that in the uv pen, and place that on the cache. you could do some creative stuff with that such as making the magnet look like it is part of the structure (telephone)
  3. We have a pretty well organized butt face here in central phoenix right now. he leaves lovely little orange stickers that originally screamed ignorance and now have been shortened and just scream jerk face
  4. i used to use an iphone to place caches. I never had an issue with coords because i would take a lot of coords using a coord app. i then would go home, triangulate and then use google earth and bing BOTH to confirm coords and adjust. it was a lot of work but it worked
  5. HA! I have considered or toyed with the idea before but have never really thought about dropping 5-10 bucks on someone else cache. I have found centrifuge tubes in the oddest places. The money and self conscious has kept me from doing it.
  6. those real rocks with centrifuge tubes are REALLY common here in az along with ones in drift wood.
  7. I was doing a power trail hike a few days ago and I started singing. I know it was goofy but time to modify your favorite popular songs for geocaching. when I wake up Yeah I know I'm gonna be I'm gonna be the man Who wakes up to ftf you When I go out Yeah I know I'm gonna be I'm gonna be the man Who goes off trail for you But I would walk five hundred feet And I would walk five hundred more Just to be the man who found one thousand caches outside your door When I'm hiking Yes I know I'm gonna be I'm gonna be the man Who's hiking hard for you And when the numbers Comes in for the work I'll do I'll pass every TB Right along to you But I would walk five hundred feet And I would walk five hundred more Just to be the man who logged a thousand caches right outside your door. my wife did hi ho hi ho ... its off to cache i go ... but it wasn't as nerdy.
  8. I am confused by your question. if you have truly found how to log a dnf on a cache using the iphone ap than in the same drop down menu is the found it option. Give me more detail about what you are looking at and how you got there and i can assist you.
  9. I posted this on a "you found what near a cache" thread. I now own a pick axe that was abandoned in a giant wash area.
  10. I personally would like to nominate: In the category off Unknown Cache with a terrain of 2 or less 910.285 GC57C8 I have heard that this type of cache exist all over the country but this is the only one i have found and this library was built when i was a kid so it is a great reason to come back here. the log book is amazing and it is a must do in central phoenix. In the catagory of traditional caches with bellow 2 terrain DESERT-PLUMBING #1 GCXE3D a well constructed, clean, and creative cache. This cache is so friendly that it greets you when you walk up. It is a welcome break during the sun valley parkway best cache container or cammo CHICKEN IN A BASKET GC1JX89 this is a funny creative and well put together cache with plenty of room for water safe items and a must do stop when and if you do the sun valley parkway power trail best historical cache description View of UFO Crash Site -- Weird Arizona GC1Y5NX xfiles theme wins best multi higher than 2 star terrain Up On Cloud 9 GCH727 this is a long multi with a lot of up and downs and a very mysterious site. The restaurant burnt down and no one really knows what happened. they were even building a tram up to it, yet there seems to be sooooo little information about it. this multi will take you around the mountain. DO IT, it may take you more than one try but it is worth it or if you started early you could knock it out pretty quick.
  11. I have kind of been waiting for a response from the gentleman who runs the forums and didn’t get one; maybe I wasn’t direct enough in my request for a section of the forum. Furthermore, I think a combined forum post would be more practical for the geocaching forums. I will have to move to individual pages for voting. The amount of attention this stage gets obviously determines whether I move forward or not. If the nomination thread becomes too complicated I will split it into separate threads. Finally, I have a request. if you have any interest in this moving forward at all, I would greatly appreciate you adding a copy and paste sentence to your logs at the end. Here it is: Please nominate your favorite central Arizona cache on the geocaching forums at geocaching forum or at the Arizona geocaching forums at azcachers. These are the categories that I came up with on the limited amount of feedback I got. In your respose please type the category, the name of the cache, the GC codes, and why it is your favorite. This years nominations are limited to caches published in 2009 and before. If you have a more recent cache save it until next year!! Terrain Less Than or Equal to 2 Best Traditional Best Multi Best Mystery Terrain Greater Than or Equal to 2.5 Best Traditional Best Multi Best Mystery Best/most creative container of cammo Best cache page/ description historical or informational Best cache page/description humorous I am thinking about hosting a “nomination event” in the near future. I have not been as active on this as I would like because I am finishing my first year of teaching. Again, please post the sentence in some of your logs directing people here. "geocaching forum or at the Arizona geocaching forums at azcachers"
  12. Do i have anything constructive to say? hmmmmmmm sounds like "inner circle" berating an outcast and the thing hasn't even gotten off the ground yet! *sigh* no sir, i happen to consider you as much a part of any "circle" as I am if not MORE. I was simply asking you for something constructive as apposed to negative. as far as the most recent posts are concerned any suggestions on the boundaries? Lastly, my solution to the less traveled caches is A. getting people such as yourself involved. B)creating a bookmark page that would direct people to those caches suggested by people like y yourself.
  13. This cache hasn't been found in days. i haven't actually gone and looked but i would like it archived so i can place a micro here. ... kay thanks bye
  14. i only write or have my wife write journal entry like logs on caches with REALLY BIG log books. i am talking notebook size. we will write a sentence or two in GOOD sized log books. otherwise just name and date. we love to see a huge og book were we can write or draw something. i have drawn in a few.
  15. Needs Archived: the log was wet and or full but it doesn't just need maintenance.
  16. Furthermore, i socialize and go to events but i personally do not do this enough to even really remember the first name of any cachers except my wife and guy
  17. I hope to detract from any cliqueness by spreading nomination and voting in such a widespread way that it would be difficult. To do this, like i am now, i will be including links in my logs to forums. I also hope others will do the same for me (hint hint wink wink o_-) . if the polls are set up on public forum and i can convince enough people to nominate caches, try the nominated caches, and vote, I hope to minimize the popularity contest. I can see how this could happen but i think i will try again. Instead of just giving the negative, do you have anything constructive that might help with this situation or are you just passively saying it is a bad idea?
  18. but it is similar to a post office it is a security and safety concern, even if it is after hours. As a teacher, I would never place a cache on school property
  19. I agree with the no ties thing .. any voting ties on poles would be settled at the awards event
  20. hey those links are not working, would you mind trying them again. i would love to see that
  21. I don't disagree with this system but maybe instead of the photo and the log (which could be separate situation all together.) maybe keep a few of the quarky catagories such as best overall description (historical or comedic), best cammo or container, and best series or theme cache. It would be 9 MORE OPINIONS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
