Thanks for your jhelp. But no I don't Know anyone with a PC...hmmm what to do????

Does anyone know if you can make a querie for someone that doesn't own a PC. I don't have windows or Mac Parelles to make a querie for my Garmin Nuvi 750. Maybe I could give you my home Quords and you could make one for me and email it to me. Thanks in advance. Below is the website that is supposed to help with this issue. http://pilotsnipes.googlepages.com/index.html

My first didn't go so smoothly. I started with http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...85-c26dcf6499ab then after it not being published went with..... http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...61-58bb10b9d61e

Didn't the guy who first got to the top of Mt Everst say that Tuna?

I just got this reply for one of my caches. I'm new to this but have seen at least two other caches that have used the trade for equal value or coins only. I've also seen a book only trade cache. What do you guys think? What do the rules state on this matter? Thanks. Me: "There is a very cool Geo Coin inside as well. Please only take for trade of another coin or TB. Thanks." Note for my cache: "This is typically frowned upon and looked at as a TB/Geocoin prison. TBs and Geocoins are menat to be moved and are not part of the "trade even" philosophy. The owners of said items expect their items to be moved along without resrtictions of having to trade for it since you can't keep it. To ask somebody to trade for something that isn't yours isn't fair. I hope you see this as educational and not an attack. Congrats on getting published!" http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...61-58bb10b9d61e

wait I'm confused...528 feet is allowed. If you perceive it as a poke in the eye that's your opinion.But I like the area and 528 feet is in the rules. Some of you, not all are funny...you want it in the rules but if its in the rules its a poke in the eye...come on man you can't have it both ways...some of you really take the fun out of this game...it is after all just a game. I do want to thank most of you though on this forum for helping a new cacher out...There's so much to learn and you have been more then helpful. Thanks

my cache is 50 feet lower then the other cache...is that special enough....? Thanks

Thank you Keystone...I really like this new sport I've discovered and like the people that are on this website, but posters like the guy that called me whinny, are making me very disappointed. I think the rules are there for a reason and I now respect them more then ever, but as a newcomer looking in on your forum you you aren't very hospitable. But most of you are, there are always exceptions. I hope that wasn't to Whinny...lol Thanks again guys!

You are very welcome.

I agree though that I need to move the cache, and I will today, exactly 109 feet farther away from that other cache. Thanks for your help guys! I am new to this as you know and am surprised to find such in depth rules and regulations. But I suppose it to keep the game safe and fun for all...My Obama cache in Berkeley wouldn't upset many people but there are always some one you can upset and I respect that.

Good idea Web...but now I'm even more confused. You can't call the cache Obama, but you can put pro Obama things inside? whats the difference? I live in Berkeley and I guess i'm a "lefty" but most people in Berkeley Ca. would love this cache, I guess we have to worry about out of towners. And I respect that.

what is my agenda? The man is the next president. He won. I'm sorry if people don't like it. But no agenda....

Jim thanks for your reply Jim...I think I will move it. But isn't the rule just a guideline? Cache Saturation "The reviewers use a rule of thumb that caches placed within .10 miles (528 feet or 161 metres) of another cache may not be published on the site. This is an arbitrary distance and is just a guideline"

Do you think a hundred feet too close to another cache is justification for my cache not getting published? The truth is I think the reviewer didn't like my political views...This cache was supposed to be a tribute to Obama. But the reviewer told me " Thanks for the history lesson but this cache seems to have a political agenda" You can't see it now but I had a little back round of Obama. And he calls this an agenda. The guy is already in office, what agenda could I have...to be frank, i think this guy is a McCaine supporter....So in an effort to appease him I took that bit out....But now he's being a stickler about 100 feet. I understand the rules about over saturating an area with Caches, but this area only has a few caches around...Please let me know what you think. And if you have any tips to help me get this published I would be very grateful. Thanks! Cache Saturation from Geocaching.com "The reviewers use a rule of thumb that caches placed within .10 miles (528 feet or 161 metres) of another cache may not be published on the site.

Caches should not be placed within 0.1 mile (528 feet) of existing caches, unless there is some sort of natural barrier between the two locations. Guidelines for geocaches can be viewed at the following link: http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#sat Your cache is only 419 feet from this cache: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?wp=GC15C9 Please re-locate this cache so it conforms with the guidelines for placement. Once you have moved it, just update this same cache page to reflect the new coordinates and description, then click on the ''click to enable'' link at the top of the cache page to put the cache back onto the reviewer queue. 2) Thanks for the history lesson but this cache seems to have a political agenda even though you didn't mean it to be, but put yourself on the other side. This is supposed to be a light and fun activity and not something to bring politics or religion into.
