First off the guidelines require the use of a GPS Secondly the maps from Google may or may not be correctly aligned. Your estimated position might be off by quite a bit. With some of these people out there I would love for someone to use goggle map off by 150 ft or even 60 because they don't take multi readings. Plus why do you need a GPS I known a couple of people that use only maps plus goggle is pretty dadgum close on the coords

At lease you can let the person know it's not in it. Seen way to many times and I'm sure you have,TB/coin is sapostta be there and is not and you look and see it's been a year or more since it was placed. I know owners should mark it as MIA but CO can to and chose not to for one reason or another after sever notes in the log of the MIA TB/Coin

Found this on another caching forum You can ask for help to get your TB/Cion moving or help someone get theirs move again. I'm signed up plus you can annoy someone while you break into their TB/Cion prison and freeing an innocent tb/coin form months of incarceration www.tb-rescue.com

Reusing is better than recycling. I can tell you why I like to use cheap (dollarwise) containers. I KNOW they will disappear someday. If I KNEW my cache container would NEVER disappear I wouldn't have an ounce of hesitation to spend $10 on a container. I agree and if you check on your caches every two or three months, the peanut butter jars would be in good condition inside longer, I found a lot of people don't check on their caches for years unless is told to and sometimes they still don't check on them.

Sounds like an excuse someone uses for not picking up after their dog/ horse. Ah, now you have done it. You have forced me to reveal my true nature. My true nature to approach things with logic and not emotion. The logic is that poo breaks down to soil. The lack of emotion is the fact that I don't own a dog or a horse. So, my opinion is not self-serving. Take that! Say that the next time you step on crap and you go in your car then notice you stepped in it. Watch where you step? Having said that, I remember when I was about 10... I was skateboarding down my street... skateboard wheel used to be smaller back then and I hit a rock and it threw me off the board onto a pile of dog poo. I actually puked. Did I go around demanding people picked up their dog poo and put it into little plastic bags and dispose of it properly? NO The mere thought of demanding such thing would be ludicrous! Micro management is not the way to enact laws... So I can let my dog go to your yard and take a big steamer and leave it there and you would say "HUH dog crapped in my yard cool kids watch out of the crap here" and leave it I'm just saying people have to get their heads of of their crappers and think of other people, AS my dad would say the "Hurry for me and F everyone else" attitude

Things that piss me off about my fellow cacher: CO that haven't done maintenance after 3 months but are caching all the time even after notes and e-mails being sent out for maintenance People that complain about the coords being off 20ft ya your GPR could be wrong and my coords are good Leaving caches out in the open or very little cover ya an AMMO can needs more that a ant's butt hair to cover it Film cans with 5 pages of log sheets and I have to unroll it and flip through the pages to get to the page I need to sign why not leave the page to sign on top so when I unroll it I can just sign and go Use Stealth O ya I'm on the corner of grand central station and every one and their mother come out of and it''s a namo in the 200 sq feet of low ground cover The hint "you shouldn't need one" "to easy for one" No your right, I just de-cripted this to be told I'm a moron. You really don't have to fill this one in YOU KNOW THAT RIGHT!!! A namo in a place where a small cache can go or a old jar of peanut butter could have gone Caches with no thought in the placement, just throw it out there just to say you have a cache If there are wild flower in an area please don't put a namo in the middle of them under a rock, when the forest has tons of other spot right next to them. May sound long, but if people start thinking about life in the we instead of me, I think we all would be better off. Think of that your actions do, the later and not just the now PS I'm not that grumpy really

I agree with you, I like to know ahead of time on price, I'm not going to bring my 4 year old to a $9 buffet I think some reviewer have a power trip sometimes, if they don't like something, good luck trying to get it published Just my 2 cents

Had dates been edited, there would be a note to that effect. It would look like this: [This entry was edited by palmetto on Tuesday, February 02, 2010 at 4:07:26 AM.] Which does not alter the reality that caches can be found before they're published here. But those caches appear to have been found on the day they were published, not the day before. I did not receive any notification of new postings. All I did was download caches on the 31st that we had not found. When I went to log our finds, there were two finds on the 27th and then the 'published" on the 28th. I am not mistaken about the dates nor are our friends we hunt with. Four of us saw the postings as found on the 27th and then published on the 28th. When I went back to get the GC codes for this thread, the published date had been changed to the 27th. Sorry but that is the way it is so let the FTF hunters have their fun. What you are saying is virtually impossible. First off a reviewer would have to do it and second there would be a audit trail visible to everyone. It isn't there. You are mistaken. I do a a lot of midnight caching, I log my finds sometimes at 3 am and the date will say yesterday date on it. So if it's published on the Feb 2 and 00:10 hrs and I find it and log it in at 1:00hrs my log will say Feb 1

Littering? I already covered that. I did the job the Park-Circus Oaf-ishul should have done in the first place, if he wasn't so freaked-out by his own religious beliefs. He was incompetent. Fire hazard? Was lightly misting that morning, most candles were out. Drawing the line? Then be sure to stomp into every church on Sunday where they practice ritual cannibalism during communion. Oh, and don't make any thanksgiving-day nor x-mas dinners either. Those turkeys wouldn't want you making sacrifices of them so you can pray to your god at the table for the animal sacrifice you made of it. Some of you need to learn how to use a mirror, desperately. You mean the turkeys, chickens and the beef we eat didn't die of natural causes. I starting to feel sick LMFAO ya right

Doing a cache run from Wis to Ill while going home for Thanksgiving. Well finishing up my last cache of the night (1:30 am). I past a cop waiting on the Rt 12 off ramp, I go to the other side of the highway and go into a parking lot. Find out I pulled into the wrong lot, turning around and one of Wauconda finest getting some one on the highway parell to the parking lot. So I go to the correct lot 200 ft way and pull up to the light pole and lift the shirt and get the tube. Go back to the jeep and door open half sitting in it signing the log and here comes LEO pulls up right next to me, rolls down his window. Be fore he says any thing I go "I bet your wondering what the hell I'm doing" Him "No just wondering if you need any help" (AKA what the hell you doing by this light pole at 1:30 am on Thanksgiving and it better be good) So I going into caching and GPS and web site After about a couple of minutes he's like " ya I stop 2 guy doing this last week, well drive safe and watch out of all the drunks tonight" He rolls up his window and drive off.

Freaking awesome lol

Have you ever had a cache that told you beware of muggles and it's under a skirt of a light pole, right in front of Walmart entrance , in a 20x40' planter right on the corner of to major intersection . Please tell how not so smart fellow caches are. Sullude

I was up Wixon Mi, same thing hint not needed. Creek with a 40 foot wood bridge with hiding place up the butt. Looked all around . Did a DNF and thanked them for the hint and told them I guess they were wrong about the hint. I wasn't in a good mood doing the logs and in a nice way told they they sucked

The thing I hate is in the smaller cache there's a golf ball in it and nothing else so you have a hard time fitting the log in it too. So yes they go flying in the woods. People have to use their heads when they leave they signature items. In the last month beside a dozen or so golf balls, three baseballs, one softball, beach ball.

Month or so ago I did a park and ride cache, micro by a fence with my noncaching wife and 2 caching kids. Pulled in and saw two cops doing the chit-chat thing in the next parking lot. Wife asked what I was doing parking with cops right there knowing I don't do cache around people but cops what can they do. Parked the car and the fence is right by an off ramp from the major interstate. while looking on both sides of it and sure thing after 4 minutes in it and he comes. about 40 feet from me asked what I was doing, if there is a noise loader then someone speaking I have a very hard time hearing them. Told him to hang on while I come around and so he gets out of his car for what I don't have a clue. met me half way. Told him I was caching ( not a clue what I was talking about) showed him the GPS and asked me if that was my wife and kids in the car. Being the smart a@@ I am I thought of a couple of reply 1. Nope they are a decoy for my drug mulling disguise. 2. What you think that question going to trip me up piggy. 3. You seem me come in here and the people are in my car, now what the hell you think. 4. No what people in my care, O crap those people are trying to steal my car But no told him the truth and he left after that. Wife thought it was funny saying I told you they were going to stop you ( they love saying the I told you so don't they) So if you see a cop guess what, just cache and if stopped always tell the truth.

Why don't you just make a new cache under a different account then adopt it so it's not under your name it's under your AKA. I think it'll work

I take out my 3 and half year old with me. Gets her and I out of the house. The only thing I have to do is make sure almost all the caches have trade items in them and call it a treasure. Thanks to Peter Pan and Little Mermaid, treasure sound a hell of alot better than O'cool a cache lol. I always point her with in 5 feet and have her find it, seems like she's finding them and not dad Got love them thou Sullude

I have a cache tonight someone is give it up after 8 years. They just said" can someone pick up the cache, we're out of state and can't maintain it". Now I have a ammo can and the cache had over 250 hit on it. Everything inside is great beside a musty smell ( what would you smell like after 8 years in the outdoors lol). E-mailed them and said I would adopt it from them if they want and maintain it but I need to know how to adopt it. Thanks Sullude

JoseBar said it best. I still a cherry with under a 100 finds but reading some of these logs and " i phoned cache owner" or " I did the multi got stuck and got the last cord from someone" Wish I had that choice with a couple of dnf three of more times on the same cache. Seems like the more finds they have the more they have to find it the first time out. If I'm wrong I'm sorry but I think I'm not. On the puzzles, It's been a long time since high scool and some of the math is so foggy that I don't have a clue where to start. So i ask people that can help me solve it so i know how to do it next time. If you never ask for help, how can you ever learn. It does help when they put in cord vacationer .

Now that is funny, People use to give me a ripping about meeting my wife on-line about ten years ago. Well now it's pretty common but back then not so much . Some of the ways that people meet are just amazing and funny. I have one FTF By pure accident, looking for a spot to place a cache and found this one by pure dumb luck, In the same exact tree .

I have a Germin E-trex Venture I use to do by memory and it works out good, But it gets harder with 10 plus. I've use my routes feature, by having two headings found and DNF. If I found/DNF I pick the route and click on the blank spot, waypoint and the click on nearest and bam, founds/dnf in order and it gives me a list of caches that i need to delete out of my memory. Nice thing is when I erase the cache from my cache list it will also take it out of my routes for me. I use to go paper but now I do it by memory. Now I find a cache then I click for the next nearest and go from there. It get to be fun sometimes but sometimes it gets to be time consuming, kind of a treasure hunt before the cache hunt. If I think a need notes, it goes on a half sheet of paper and that's it.( car floor was getting quite full). Hope it helps. Sullude

I just wonder why these caches have been archived. I've heard of people making caches on vacation and hope for the best. People getting into cacheing and for what ever reason getting out and leaving their caches to die. Is there some way to take them over for someone that it turns into a archive CITO one. I always wondered why. Like my pappy use to said "Everything must die to make room for the next" Or " There's only so long you can fish with out breaking out the dynamite "

I found a cache that couldn't be opened, in Wis. it's winter and the container was rusted ( micro tin) shout with a hole in the side. People had the same problem with it and tried to pry it up. I marked it as a find, Why I found it yes I couldn't sign the log, but I found it. It's called found it not signed it but found it. Let the owner know about it and some other have too, but was never fixed. I also found a micro and couldn't get the log out for 5 mins and toke a pic of it, told the owner what I did and if she needed a pic I would send it to her. It's not a numbers thing it's a time thing for me. I can only get out so often for a short period of time and why should I not claim it so i don't have to come back. I rather take time to look for a new ones or a dnf than one s that was already found. It's not that where was tons of people around or I couldn't find it. I have found it and even toke pics of it. Just see people ripping on others for not signing it for what ever reason no log book, cache container wouldn't open, found the cache but was empty of contents and taking credit for it. Well I guess your better than half of us, and have more time to look for these caches. AND if you didn't find it and said you did your a freaking MORON

You Gee hun is that two 30mm ammo cans in your back pocket. POW You Ummmm where an I Doctor You have a mild concussion, your wife said you got hit by a big stick
