    You need to put out a few of those in South Central Indiana! :P

    I did and they were just few miles off your doorstep! Do you have any idea how much work it takes to find a cemetery in Lawrence County that does not already have a cache in it. I probably spent 3 hours just going over topo maps and coordinating the the GC site just to find six sites that did not already have caches. You guys are dead serious down there.

     

    Now that I think about it, you have one AWESOME cemetery cache that is just screaming to become an ISQ. That would be Gilgal Cemetery. I have project going in Heltonville and could not pass it up. WONDERFUL site with lots of history including an origional Rev War grave complete with origional SAR flag holder.

    I just want to let everyone know that we are officially putting out ISQ caches now. Look for several to start showing up in central and southern Indiana!!!

    We are proud members of the ISQ team . :P

    Well, the front design is set: The one with the state on it.

    Now they are voting on the back. These two are tied right now:

    I like the deer design!

    I just talked to a friend of mine in Nashville ,Tn and the gas is only $2.59-$2.89 there, so why is it going for $3.19-3.49 here. I was just down in Tenn. just a week ago and gas was the same price as it was here in Indiana. Something is not right here?!?!

    IM USING THE G.M.'S SITE BECAUSE MINE IS ON THE FRITZ.

     

    THIS IS MY FIRST TIME ON THIS FORUM.  I AM BASED OUT OF NE INDIANA WHERE MY FAMILY AND I HAVE ENJOYED THE "SPORT" FOR A YEAR OR SO.  I HAVE READ SOME THINGS ON HERE REVOLVING AROUND NOT MAINTAINING CACHES AND OVER SATURATION.  MAYBE MY INITIAL IDEA ABOUT GEOCACHING IS WRONG, SO I WILL ASK THE WORLD FOR THEIR OPINION.  MY WIFE FOUND AN ARTICLE ABOUT G C IN A MAGAZINE AND THOUGHT IT WOULD BE FUN FOR THE FAMILY.  SHE WAS RIGHT.  I BOUGHT A LITTLE E-TREX AND WAS OFF.  THE 8 & 4 YEAR OLD WENT CRAZY ABOUT THAT FIRST M-60 CAN WITH SOME MARDI GRA BEADS AND LITTLE TOYS INSIDE.  WE WERE HOOKED AND COULDN'T WAIT FOR OUR NEXT OUTING.  MY WIFE AND I WORK OUR TAILS OFF SO WE RARELY GET THE TIME TO "GET OUT" LIKE WE WISH WE COULD.

     

    IN THE BEGINING  THE CACHES WERE ALL LIKE THE FIRST, AND MY KIDS TOOK PRIDE IN COLLECTING LITTLE TIDBITS TO TRADE.  WE WOULD HIKE AROUND LEARNING ABOUT NATURE (AND LAND NAV) SEEKING OUR PRIZE.  WE REALLY DIDN'T CARE ABOUT HOW MANY WE FOUND, IT WASN'T ABOUT KEEPING SCORE. CITO CAME INTO PRACTICE AND WE TOOK PRIDE IN CLEANING UP OUR SACRED MOTHER.  WE LOVED WHAT WE WERE DOING SO MUCH THAT WE SPREAD THE WORD AND CONVICNCED OUR FRIENDS TO TRY IT......HOOKED.

     

    I FEEL THAT THIS PAST TIME (NOT SPORT) IS RAPIDLY BECOMING CORRUPTED BY THOSE WHO HAVE LOST THE SPIRIT OF GEOCACHING.  THERE IS NO POT OF GOLD AT THE END OF THE RAINBOW.  THE TREASURE HAS TRANSFORMMED INTO A 35MM FILM CANISTER.  I AM NOT BASHING MICROS, THEY HAVE THEIR PLACE SUCH AS BUILT UP URBAN PLACES AND AREAS WITH HIGH MUGGLE TRAFFICK. 

     

    I FEEL LIKE THIS SIMPLE LOVABLE PAST TIME IS BEING OVER RUN WITH EGOTISTICLE PEOPLE WHO GAGE YOU BY YOUR "STATS".  i HAVEN'T PLACED A CACHE YET BECAUSE I HAVEN'T FOUND THAT PERFECT SPOT THAT WILL CHALLENGE THE MIND AND SPIRIT.  I HELPED ANOTHER CACHER PLACE A CACHE IN MY AREA THAT IS A TOTAL ADVENTURE AND SO FAR PEOPLE LOVE AND RAVE ABOUT IT. JUST ONE.  AROUND HERE THERE IS A 35MM FILM CANISTER EVERY 500 YARDS. MY KIDS AND I HAVE TO SCROLL DOWN THROUGH THE WEB SITE JUST TO FIND ONE "REGULAR" CACHE.  WHERES THE FUN IN A FILM CANISTER?

     

    7.62 CANS ARE READILY AVAILABLE, OR MAYBE A COFFEE CAN WITH SOME MC DONALD LAND TOYS INSIDE.  WHEN WE PULL UP TO A GRAVE YARD MY KIDS DON'T EVEN GET OUT OF THE CAR ANYMORE. 

     

    I HAVE AN IDEA, DESIGNATE A SITE FOR COMPETITIVE "RACE" CACHING AND LEAVE THE ORIGINAL GEO-CACHING SITE FOR QUALITY KID FREINDLY, FAMILY OUTING, KIND OF GEO-CACHING THAT EVERYONE WILL APPRICIATE AND TALK ABOUT.

     

    SO WORLD, THERE IT IS.  IF YOU CHOOSE TO EXPOUND ON THIS SIMPLE NOTION, FEEL FREE.  MAYBE I AM WRONG, IF SO IT WON'T BE THE THE FIRST TIME.  I MIGHT EVEN GO OUT AND BUY AN X-BOX AND STAY  INSIDE.

    p.s. Become a premium member and run a Pocket Query that filters out the micros and small caches. Then your past time wont be ruined by having to find caches you do not like. I happen to know that your state is rich in some great ammo box caches. You just need to do a little work to find them. That should not be a problem for you as you seem like someone who is willing to do whats needed to find an answer. Unless you are going to be too busy reinventing Geocaching on your new site :D

     

    I think LaPaglia gave you the correct solution to your problem.

     

    Geocaching is a GAME that you can customize it the way you like. Remember that!Customize it the way you like to play it and stop bashing the way someone else wants to play the game! There are tons of regular caches (ammo boxes,etc) for you to find. Micros are placed in interesting places that won't support or inappropriate for a regular size caches.

     

    Also remember that not every cache is meant for everyone. If there is a cache that you don't like, just skip it and go on to the next!

     

    Stats are stats thats all. They represent how many places you've been, how many friends you've made. Just like any GAME there are stats . If stats don't mean anything to you, why don't you just post a note instead of a find?? see what I mean??

     

    Enjoy geocaching the way you like to play it and you'll be happy with yourself. Get out , travel and enjoy what geocaching has to offer!

    There are more cemeteries than the ones in Lawrence County. I know we have already placed caches in alot of Lawrence County, but there are several more that are without caches. All I was getting at is we really like hunting ISQ caches. Maybe we can talk more at the fall picnic. :)

    Have you ever wondered what ISQ guys are doing at night? Here is some insight:

    Yes, they all have have new logs and ftf prizes in them. I have a school bus buried in my backyard with thousands more inside.

    You need to put out a few of those in South Central Indiana! :unsure:
