The funny thing is, there is probably a great spot for the 5th stage right under my nose. I just cant see it.
-
maybe you will need to go out of the park, can one of your other locations hold the ammo box.
The first four stages are basically grab and go's, not really any place to hide an ammo can with out it getting muggled easily. I could put stage 5 way back into some woos/parks but two things.
1. We get snow here and I want people to be able to find it.
2. These have just about all the caches they can handle.
Take a look at my Nice-n-Easy GC1PWCN, I am trying to stay with a 15-20 mile radius of this so I can maintain it easily if need be. Another concern I have is although there always new cachers popping up in this area, I don't want the existing cachers to have to keep going back to where they have already been.
Since T-day, I have just searching Google earth. I have gone and looked at a couple spots, but they just didn't appeal to me. I don't just want to throw this cache out there, I want it to be interesting too.

I'm working on a five stage multi. I have found places for the first 4 stages. The final stage is going to be a large ammo can. The problem, I cant seem to find a good location for the final stage with out being right on top on another cache (528ft) This multi is designed for you to travel around the local area. I have been pondering asking some of the local cachers for some advice. But I thought I would ask here first to see if anyone have any ideas.
Thanks

Trying to locate Red & Jada's Baby. It was last place in MD Cache GC1R78M on 6/2/09 and has been MIA since then. This is our first and only TB and would love to have it back home.
So we are offering to reward to the first cacher that can find our baby and get it going back to Ohio.
Please email or PM if you have any info on our baby. Thanks

I had to download a driver for mine. Look here.

OK, just disabled 7 caches due to massive amounts of Poison Oak growing at the locations. I hid these during the winter and with no leaves on the branches, thought they were just bushes obscuring the hide location. In hindsight, it explains my mid winter bout of Poison Oak, but thought it was from elsewhere. So my question is, have you had this happen? Or even hidden some in the itch bearing plants with leaves on them without knowing? Heaven forbid you did it on purpose to be Evil... Although, I thought about upping the difficulty to be wicked and nasty (I have a lot of those thoughts)... and I have seen a series called "Poison Oak", but am not sure there was really any around. The fun part will be recovering the containers as a good cacher should... That's going to leave a mark. Caches in question (not that it matters for this post): Cracka-lacka Cache (GC1KVQM) Coffee Tree (GC1KVQG) Hanging out with the big boys (GC1KVQC) Festers Anti Micro (GC1KK7Z) Noah's Ark? (GC1KK7R) The Gazillion Cache (GC1KK7F) Bee's Nest (GC1KK79)Or you could have added the attribute for poisonous plants to the cache page.

We are placing our first hide and are struggling to figure out a FTF prize. What do you normally use?
I have a pile of bicentennial silver dollars I like to add for the FTF. But keys to a new car is always a good FTF prize.

Mods, Please delete this thread. The post didn't go through.

I have a Magellan eXplorist 100 for sale. A great little unit for the beginner. $65 shipped (OBO) in the US. Used very very little, still in new condition. Comes with GPS'r, manual and the box it came in.

Is there any way to download the text that goes with a cache listing? Whenever I go caching I copy the cache number and breif description to a document and print it out. That way I have a reference for what I'm looking for. I've read where people have gone back to their vehicle and pulled up the info on their laptop. I was wondering if there was a way to download this info instead of copying and pasting it from website.
I'm working with a Garmin GPSmap60CSx.
Thanks,

I send to my ipod. Works great!

At the time of this writing, there are over 807,000 caches and counting. At the rate they're being added, I think the count could easily reach a million by the end of the year. In honor of the millionth hide, how do you think Groundspeak should celebrate this milestone? Here are a couple of my ideas:
1. A specially struck geocoin with the name, GC code, date placed, country (and, if possible, state) and owners username.
2. The owner should be granted a special prize, like a $100 gift certificate to the ShopGroudspeak store.
Anyone else have other ideas?
This has been asked before. the question should be. "What was/is/where the 1 mil. cache published?" Im sure GS knows. Maybe the mods would like to add some input?
-
Any opinions on this unit? I have been using an old Garmin Etrex (yellow). It works OK for caching. A friend gave me the Magellan to try out. He bought it for his dad to use while out on a sail boat on lake Erie. Well, it was never used. I know this isn't the best unit but just thought I would throw it out there and see what you think?

Nano
in How do I...?
Excuse my ignorance, what is a 'nano'.
Take a look here GC1PWCN.

The numbers were all over the place. Next time I will give more hints. But that is the way the egg cracks.
The correct numbers are
Copper 15
Gold 25
Nickel 110
The coop did some carefully looking and adding. We came up with this list of post that either had the total quantity, or an individual finish correct. They are
#88 redjada
#90 drneal
#106 Shadow’s Friend
#113 surteb
#116 jasondulac

We put the names into a nest to pick a winner, but it took awhile as Matilda sat on the nest and would not get off. I convinced Matilda that we need to pick one and the winner is redjada. Congratulation!
Thanks to all that played the game.
Yaaaa hoooo I actually won
We only own one coin, its a Groundspeak C.I.T.O coin that we won at a C.I.T.O event. Right now it's in GC1QMWT. Thanks for the coin test. Replying to MWGB_Egg's email now. Thanks again.RedJada

I sometimes spend 30 minutes looking for caches rated at 1 or 1.5.
I sometimes find caches rated 3 or 4 within 10 minutes.
Sometimes dumb luck is involved. Might adjust rating at some point based on feedback but don't let a few comments change anything.
I agree with StarBrand. Sometimes you never know. One thing I can suggest to make things a little harder. Is don't mention what the cache container is. If I know what I'm looking for then I can zero in on the hiding spots, well most of the time.

Maybe we can just make up a story to fit the title? Probably more interesting!
OK
A few months ago I was at a yard sale and picked up this 50 cal. ammo can for $3.00. I thought what a find! This will make a great cache!!!. So I got it home and cleaned it up real good and camo painted it. Now, where to put it i thought to my self. Self, where, where, where? Ahhh, down by the river
I remembered the last time I was there fishing, that little cave with the old drift wood long. 18" in diameter 3 feet long and hollow. Just about 10 feet from the rivers edge. -
Copper 25 coins
Gold 50 coins
Nickel 75 coins

Now thats funny.....

OK, how do you let it know which ones you have found? Don't want it to override ones that have not been found.
There's no way to do that with a ipod. But what I do. I bookmark all the caches I want to find. Then run a PQ on your bookmark list and load it into your ipod and gps'r. Then after I have found some of the caches and log them. I delete them from my bookmark list. Then when I run another PQ on my bookmark list, everything is fresh.
I know there is a way to delete stuff off of an ipod, but never played around with it. Just do a google search. You'll find something.
-
OK the macro works great. just one more little question, how do you get the caches back off the ipod to put more on there?
You dont. When you add more caches to your ipod. It will over ride anything in your extras folder. So the caches you had before will be replaced with the new ones.

I guess I hadn't really thought about the rust aspect of things considering it was just a one day excursion. They did have a lot of small glass and plastic containers that wouldn't have the rust issue. I'll have to keep that in mind the next time I go there to buy containers.
No Glass!!!! Check your local dollar stores. I have found small Lock-n-Locks there for a dollar. Then you can also pick up some swag while your there.

Generally, from what I have seen. This is the normal, with a few exceptions. I only have a couple hides but I always stock them with good swag to start off. Finding good swag isn't important to me. Just the thrill of the hunt. And if I do trade swan I always trade up, usually I'm trading up a couple notches.
