I think it's awesome, but I'm from Texas which is a much more tasteless and disgusting play than other places.

ladies love a guy who can tie the knots.

I think limericks might be too racy for this site. Lets try it... A daring young woman named Alice, used a dynamite stick as a... whoops, maybe not. >)

here in houston with the humidity a log's prolly more likely to get wet and washout than freeze. here pencils just frusterate me because they're usually wet, mealy, and coming apart from rot. I bring a zebra pen w/ me. Maybe an archival ink pen with a fine tip would help, like a Micron?

As another fellow newb, I can say that I too found that geocaching is a learning thing. Now that I've found a few, I'm starting to figure out what to look for. Caches that would have been super hard before are not as terrifying. Don't pay too much attention to logs that are like "WOW TOTALLY EASY!" They're all easy once you've found them! I see you're in Texas like me. I personally don't cross fences no matter what the cache says, even if they're like "omigosh the owner's ttly ok w/ it" because I'm a girl all on my own and when I was a kid my mom always said, "It's better safe than shot!" Good luck!

"Very quick find. Almost a P&G. SL." Still looking for the same 1/1. grrrrrrrrrrrr

My problem was that after the day of caching, I forget the details from some caches so when I go to do them I'm like, "Iono. thurr were some trees and it was not raining." I've taken to bringing along a little black leatherbound notebook. Then when I find the cache I stand there a moment, write down a few things I observed at the cache, or whether or not it needed maintainence. I think that's helped me be less copy-pasta.

I have a geogem like Fast Chapter's. It's just like that but green. I'm having a hard time letting go of it bc its so shiny.

omigosh, what a neat idea! I got all this yarn, maybe ill crochet little things.

Actually it's not useful, it's very dangerous. A latex condom shouldn't be exposed to extreme temperatures and they have an expiration date. Using a cache-condom is probably a good way to get a surprise-illness or surprise-baby. Surprise! Condoms are still a bad idea for caches!

Don't worry. Some of us are fascinated with the idea of people finding things you left and will continue visiting caches we've found to add more things to be taken away/broken/moved on/rot, whether you want to replenish or not. BTW, it's not a Puma or a Warthog it's a Chupa-thingy.

Oh manz, I could get a third of a pair of jeanz.

offtopic; nice to be in company of people who know who Paul Harvey is.

Maybe they e-mailed the owner and are giving them a few days.

I think to handicapped cachers, an increase in P&Gs is a sort of godsend. Sometimes I may have to bring someone who can't get around very well, and can't walk very far(My dad). It sucks to sit in the car while someone else is doing a hike/climb/run/find. Maybe you should hide and encourage others to hide the sort of caches you like, but to those of us interested in bringing people who have trouble getting around, an increase in 1/1 park and grabs is not the end of the hunt. It just means that even though we're tied down we can keep hunting.

last poster has always read less of the thread than all the posters above. For instance, I only read OP and geoduck.

Closest unfound cache reads "Same Location as Home Coordinates" Which is not completely right, it's about a block NE. I'm bashing my head against the wall on that one.

At 5'1" I assumed that these caches were just made for tall people. >_>

Because my attention span is so bad that I can't sit still for the full 2 hours it takes to watch a movie.

If you want to find only your own caches that may be true. You will find the caches hidden by others and you will take the adventures offered by others, you will do as others ask you to do or you won't be geocaching very long. Geocaching isn't about doing your own thing, you can hide what you want but you will find what is hidden. You control your own seeking but have no control over those seeking your cache. These are one way streets. You cannot PQ or Filter your way to great geocaching adventures. The very first time you take a five mile hike to FTF a Pringles can full of stuff from the junk drawer with a ripped off strip of paper for a log you will understand that. But you did find it, and you were the FIRST.

I like to buy those large packs of little metal cars or planes. Then I can trade toys for toys. Kid @ <3

The last is a cool idea I think. The "If you liked this you might like ____". It's not really a rating but it points you in the right direction. Something similar, and this might be impossible but something for PMs where you rate caches for yourself and the system scales the your ratings compared to other PM users. Basically, if you rate a cache favorably it will look at other cachers that rated that cache favorably and compiles a list of caches based on others that like the same caches you like. Something like Amazon.com's "Other people who bought this book also bought ...." Again, it might be too intensive and impossible. It also might be impractical because a lot of people don't care and just go for caches that are close to them and will go to a cache just because it's within 30miles of their home and they're running out of caches to go to.

I use twitter because with pixelpipe on my G1 phone, I can upload pictures directly to Twitter. Then I can show my brother my finds while he's at work so he can seethe with envy.

This! The idea of having this much stress over a hobby hurts my head.

Or pooping in them.
