But this would seem more appropriate to caching these days... I was going to post the picture was wrong but you beat me to it and did a better job with it.

What do you think about having this as a travel bug? Tile

Can you post the GC code, make it a slightly more obscure D/T combination, and allow people to log it without actually visiting it? That would mean we could all share in the tack. I wasn't going to waste a log sheet in the cache or even a container, so sure sign away to your hearts content. I was going to "place" my cache in some remote area like Antarctica but figured the reviewer might get suspicious.

To help commemorate the tacky 31 August souvenirs I decided to create a tacky cache named August Souvenir. To go along with the tacky theme I will be logging my own cache (tacky), logging it 31 times (tacky) and making it a 5/5 cache so I can really boost my numbers (tacky). I hear the next big souvenir thing is getting a souvenir for each find on the ET highway.

And how are they a 2/3? Shouldn't be too hard to find and the terrain looks flat

If using the Send to GPS feature on the website make sure you have a waypoint file open before clicking on Send to GPS. This can be a new or existing file.

If you use GSAK you can quickly create a list of caches by owner and then include them in your ignore list.

Good points, but I think the difficulty is not just where the cache is, but how to get it. After the 10 mile hike and the cache is up in a tree the terrain is still a 5 but the difficulty goes up from a one if the cache was at the base of the tree.

No, I disagree. The cache site is the spot that touches the cache. If that is 50' up a tree, it's a 4-5 terrain. If it's at the base, it's a 1-1.5. So if the cache is at a base of a tree then the terrain is 1-1.5? Even if you have to hike 10 miles or float down a white water river to get to it? But the cache site is the base of the tree so I guess that is a 1 terrain.

No, I disagree. The cache site is the spot that touches the cache. If that is 50' up a tree, it's a 4-5 terrain. If it's at the base, it's a 1-1.5. So what is difficulty used for then? How hard it is to actually locate the container. If it is in plain sight/obvious, it's a D1. So you would differ from this description in a cache - To claim this cache as a find, you MUST sign the log. The description states that the challenge is not in the find, (anyone can see it, it's in plain sight) the challenge is in the retrieval. So, do not claim this cache just because you spotted it. Use your imagination and figure out how to get it. They have it as a difficulty of a 5 (I would probably make it a little lower)

Nope. The difficulty is a 1, while the terrain is not since it is 16 feet up. Totally disagree, as well as several caches that are exactly that way. The terrain getting to the cache site it level paved ground so easily a level 1 terrain. The difficulty is how to get the cache down.

Actually shouldn't the terrain be just getting there and the difficulty is how hard it is to get the actual cache. So if a cache is on a lamppost in the middle of a parking lot under the skirt I would say this is a 1 terrain/1 diff. If the cache was 16 feet up on the lamppost it would still be a 1 terrain but a higher difficulty (doesn't matter if with a wheelchair or not).

Once you find one you might see if someone has created a public bookmark for the list of challenges in that area.

In some areas there are caches that challenge you to have found certain caches. For example find a cache starting with every letter of the alphabet, or find a cache in every county of the state, or find a cache every day of the year, etc.

Always an option, unless you want people to actually find your cache. Didn't say it was a good option, but it is still an option.

I was looking at the GPS Adventures Maze Exhibit (GC42F2J) and I see a mixture of Found It and Attended Logs. So is it a cache or an event? Like life if logging from the website it is treated as an event, so I am guessing the Found It logs are coming from the mobile app. Are all events logged with the mobile app treated as a normal cache and not an event.

You can list it on another site.

Yes

West Tyson 1 (GC15B) - Found 1/27/2001 This was my first cache. It took a little while to get the correct bearings and the cache was hiden well. Took our picture and left a lottery ticket. Interesting the cache had been archived back in 2002 and converted into a Letterbox (I think before Letterbox caches were available) but people are still logging it as a find. Note - Left the typo as is.

So it looks like the 3 counties in the Northeast section of the state are rather large and would also include areas that are not part of a reservation so those probably have cache somewhere within the county.

I haven't looked at counties in Arizona, but there may be a couple there that don't have caches as they are Indian Reservation land.

It sounds like there is a cache with some broken HTML code in the description. What you can is to do a File, Export, GPX/LOC File and select GPX and use the defaults for the rest of the options. If you first connect the PN60 to the computer through the settings menu you can put the GPX file directly on the SD card or internal memory of the PN device. Seems the export option does a better job of fixing the HTML issue.

I don't think so. Chirp is a different communication protocol then bluetooth.
