  1. Can someone point to right contact about this? Either it's my phone or the web site changed. Plus I'm the only one in the whole world seeing this, as usual.....
  2. short and sweet, what has change between viewing a cache map on the phone? (HTC Droid DNA) at one time the map would show up when viewing the cache. you could then choose it and then your map program would open up with that csche showing in the map. This has seam to disappeared. Also, why can't I put a image on here from my computer?
  3. I heard about this on the news and around work. It all started when someone wrote a Geo program for the Blackberry phone i had, i now have a LG REV with a better cache program. My first cache was right down the road from my house. It's been fun ever since. O, one nice thing about this, I'm finding Little public parks in the area i never knew about.
  4. I would leave alone. Ive found a few where i either forgot a pin or there wasn't one available. What i do is take a picture of the cache in my hand not showing the surroundings. I then log a find. So far no taken one away from me
  5. Wow your right. i have mine to log me in automatically so i never notice it. But i did log off and sure enough there it was. I have mixed feelings on it. I would prefer GC from all my listing and logging finds. When it comes to GC events. Unless i missing something. It would be nice to have a page for that,
  6. If i first saw this i would of thought "f*ck you thank you"
  7. I looked around and couldn't find anything. But, How do you change the time zone for this forum? Every thing many hours behind
  8. O the signs are legit. See there was a fire back there a few years a go cause by campers, burned two house also. Since then they out up these really nice orange signs on pols saying NO TRESPASSING WITH OUT PERMISSION
  9. Why wouldn't you post the "Needs Archived"? What happens if the CO doesn't respond/react? Someone with less regard for the rules might give the landowner a very bad impression of the game in the meanwhile, and a NA log does nothing but alert the CO and the Reviewer that there is a possible issue with the cache. I should of NA. I just emailed the reviewer
  10. Here's the Gc3gr8x for the cache. When you open this in map, from around 142nd south, west of 66th to about 145th is the private land. There some other house around there but i thought this would give you a good idea. If they reopen this, i meant take the mile walk with the dog, maybe...lol lol
  11. The CO clearly knew you had to cross many acres of private land. This land is 100's of acres long i think. There excuse was "Everyone else is doing so it ok". But i did find out you can get it by taking a mile walk along Lake Michigan....Nah...
  12. NO!!! In fact, in a situation like that, with many, many "No Trespassing" signs, I would immediately contact the reviewer and post a "Needs Archived" log for the cache. Someone who posts a property that heavily means business, and while the legal penalties for trespass generally aren't that severe (note - this varies a LOT by locale! Also you better not be carrying a firearm while trespassing - that makes it much more serious most places), the problem in my opinion is that some property owners are pretty nuts about privacy, and are willing to shoot first, ask questions later. How effectively they could get away with this depends a lot on local laws, however, I'd submit that when somone is shooting at you, your biggest concern is not "gee, they aren't supposed to be doing that - they are going to be in a lot of trouble!" It is also the case that sometimes property is posted because something on the property is actually quite dangerous. An abandoned industrial site would be a good example of this - an unmaintained structure with unknown hazards can be very dangerous, and the property owner may be trying to protect you from harm, and themselves from liability if you are injured. Sometimes people who post like that are trying to keep hunters off their land. Or maybe they have an oil / gas lease and there's danger, either to someone on the land, or to equipment. Maybe they have livestock, and don't want some idiot shooting a cow by mistake. But maybe they have had livestock or property stolen recently, and will think YOU are the one who did it, and react with great hostility - there is just no telling. Often a reason for signage like this is that they've had problems with vandalism on the property. My point is that you can be putting yourself into an unknown and potentially volatile and dangerous situation - either from the law, the property owner, or from some danger on the property itself. If you are caught, best (and most likely) case, you get yelled at by the property owner for being an idiot. Next best case you end up explaining to the sherriff what you are doing there and possibly getting cited, racking up a few hundred dollars in fines. Worst case you get shot or otherwise injured. (The latter is not extremely likely - but it happens.) No cache is worth any of these outcomes. I have contacted the reviewer. The cache is in hold right now and hopefuly be Archived. For you in the west Michigan area, the land is Owned by DeVos Ind. A few years back i reported another one. They took it off right away. Not sure of the hold up on this one.
  13. OK i have one for you all. Let's say you geocaching and run across a cache that's on private propriety. There's sign's that litter the side of the road saying "No trespassing with out permission" for 1/4 of a mile. The cache owner doesn't say they have permission. Would you trespass to get the cache or would you obey the law? Wait, theirs people already entering the land to get ot the beach. Would then go? Some frendly guy tells you "you can go on to the land, they will not do anything" Would you go? interested to see people thoughts on this....
  14. Had one like this a few years back. come to find out it was a letter box and it was on a different site.
  15. I have that setup already and it does text my phone for new published caches. But when someone does something to the log book of one of the ones I'm watching. I would like to be text instead of emailed....
  16. Thank You, right in front of my face... Still, is there a way i can change from email notification to being text?
  17. Watch list. The only way i know of how to get to it is by clicking a cache and then choose "Add to watch list" to see my list. I read a few of the help topic and other things with out luck. Also, at one time i thought you could get this text to you instead of email. Can i get it text to me?
  18. I've been cacheing since 2009. I just now sign up for primy. My question is - When new cache is text to me I'll generally store it on my phone. but, how do you search for new caches in a area on the geocaching map?
  19. There's a few ways to do it. The one i use since live maps is back, i choose the cache then choose store. It should now be saved. You can also go to the geo site and save abunch "LOC" caches to your download folder and your SD card. Then after unplugging your phone cord. Just go to c:geo stored them import.
  20. I was just going to post something about that. I used dyamic cause you could get the aerial view. This really sucks. I just sign up for premy and now i'm wondering why
  21. so i guess to sum this all up, ARE THEY GOING TO FIX THIS???
  22. That's great for PC folks but does anyone know of anything for Mac users? And Chrome users? http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/126244 Why is everything seam's to be firefox google chrom. some of us still use explore you know
  23. Well thank you everyone for your assistance. I did end up finding letterboxing.org site and found the person. I just think it's wild how while looking for the original cache i stumble upon this. Yet the one cache i really want to find in that area i can't PS - i getting a job at UofM as a English Professor....NOT!!!!
