A nice email was all it took, another cacher returned the geocoin to me & my son at a geoevent. I'm off the hook now for dropping it in a cache, it's back with his star wars legos collection now.
Glad to hear you got it back!

Thanks, Wrastro.Any other interested parties in adult sizes of the Trackable Shirt?
Yep.
Ditto.

We cache as a family so for us to let everyone enjoy the find, the first person to find the cache shouts out either BINGO or KACHOW after they have walked away from the cache area. Then once everyone has had a chance to spot it and shout the word the first person shouted, the first person retrieves the cache. Helps keep the enjoyment in it for the kids.
Same for us here except the kids decided they'd shout out, "THIS IS FUN!"

Merry Christmas from California!!!

Tis done.

We bring a camera and the kids then do a photo shoot if someone wanders by.

I keep mine, they are a nice reminder of the people who visited, I have old logbooks with names of cachers who aren't even around anymore.
All owners get an email every time somebody logs their cache, now if they pay attention to the email that is another question. We all have lives and going back to change a log is not always a mater of just going out the door we all have priorities, but there are times were it becomes evident that the owner is either no longer interested or the cache that was placed was not as accessible as it should be to them.
Hey, AV. Just curious, do owners also get an email when a note is posted to the cache?
Hum...BTW wonder why this thread is in OT land....
As long as you own the cache or have it in your watchlist you get every post on it,, notes and all. The only thing you don't get is a modification of a post, such as one converted from a note to a find or whatever.
Oh good. So if I go back and correct a spelling error the owner doesn't an extra email. That's good to know. Not that I make a bunch of speling erors.

I'd just move along.

I can remember all of the caches we have logged. My problem is remembering the ones I forget to log. I guess that's another story though.

clarification:
A friend and I were caching and one was on an easement.... we explained geocaching to the homeowner who may take up caching from our explanation.
That's what I understood from your other post. I suspect that everyone else 'got it', also.
Yes, I got it too.

My license plate frame says, “Do You Geocache?”
My license plate says TNLNSL
I've seen the same one in California. Cracks me up when ever I see it.

There's a thread in the Geocoin forums about them. Tank (one part of TnT) recently had a stroke and is in the hospital. As you can imagine, things are pretty hectic for them at this time. I'm sure once things calm down (hopefully all turns out ok), they'll get back to business.
Aw, I am sorry to hear about Tank. I got two awesome Geocoins from TnT last year within a couple days of placing the order. I'll say a prayer for Tank's recovery.

That's what we did - called our answering machine every few hours! Good thing we didn't go with voice mail!Spotted this quote in an article about the fires. Interesting concept if you have an answering machine in the house - presuming the phone lines are still alive in the area."I called my home and my answering machine still works, so that's how I know we're OK," said Rancho Bernardo resident Fuli Du, who packed his belongings Wednesday preparing to leave Qualcomm.
We also have tried calling our answering machine....... It has been a busy tone for two days. So it can give a false indiction of something worse then it is. All too true. During the 2000 Cerro Grande fire (Los Alamos, NM), we had been calling the house of a friend of ours. This house was on a canyon surrounded by ponderosa and would have been the first in that part of town to go. Just about the time that we figured that the fire was going to get there, the answering machine stopped responding and we figured the house was gone. Fortunately, it was just that the power had gone out.
Yeah, I tried calling my Parents' place in Jamul (Deersprings, on Honey Springs road). So did they. It stopped ringing at all midday on Monday, and only went straight to voicemail. Still, it could be the lines.
Getting several pictures of their neighbors' homes up in flames, but so far no picture of their home, which was probably situated in among the worst of locations. No one knows if it's still standing.
We did the same thing with my parents and my sister's answering machines at their homes in RB near Mule Hill. One just rang and rang and the other had an odd busy signal. We have since found out both homes are safe.

Parts of Valley Center have been evacuated. Friends of our on Mac Tan got a reverse 911 call around 5 AM this morning. They just called to check on us and were attempting to get back to Valley Center by Lilac Rd. Lilac is closed to traffic though and they could not get back.
Our prayers to all of you.

I don't know about every one else but I'm sick of people leaving crummy trade items in my caches. I know that there needs to be some leaniansy about trde items bet when people a putting things like chewd gum, beat up puzzel pieces (one piece), even used tooth brushes! It goes a littel to far espicialy when their traiding these crummy items for some pretty nice things! I filled one of my caches with some pretty neat things and now it's filled with worthless junk
!!!What caches?
Indeed.

Hello Fellow Homeschoolers! It's a joy to see so many of you out there.
We homeschool our 4 children (8th grade, 6th grade, 4th grade, and K). We enjoy caching as a family on the weekends. We used to incorporate caching during the week, but sadly our days are now so filled with other things so we have to save it for weekends.
The kids are all experts at how to use the GPSr - way better than mom!
Blessings,
TeamFROG

small and I like the idea of posting a note on the cache page that says it's a PB jar!

Put my input yesterday about the same time as the link was removed, hope you got it!
Ditto. Good luck!

So glad you are okay. Once you find the cache please come let us all know so we can celebrate with you!!

Would Travel Bug pics be on-topic for this thread?
Ohhhhhhhhhh! How sweet!!!

I'll add to the chorus here. If I don't find a cache, I log a DNF. Often the DNF is a more interesting story than a future "Found it" log, if I return to the location and finally find the cache.
After I have a DNF, I add the cache to a "Bookmark List" of all my unresolved DNFs. That way I'll get any subsequent logs. Sometimes the next log I get in my email is, "Easy find. TNLNSL."
However, other times it will be another DNF by another cacher. If someone edits a previous DNF to a Found it log, I won't get that log. I like the Bookmark List idea, Miragee. Thanks!
BTW: We log our DNFs and leave them as DNFs (my kids hate it when I do that). If we go back and find the cache later, then we log a found it log on the day we found it.
Thanks, Wrastro.
