Apparently one of my lists of geocoin numbers found its way over there, and I had a couple of discoveries of my geocoins by people that couldn't have physically discovered them - but what the heck, that's why I made the list.
Could you clarify what you're doing here?
and who are you to ask ?
Somebody that's curious about this list of geocoin numbers.
Sorry, I'm not used to obtuse questions from moderators. If you think I'm violating the forum rules could you just come right out and tell me that? Otherwise, I think I can ask this question. Sduck is perfectly free to not answer.
Sorry I did no log out on my moderator account before asking, who are you to ask another poster why they are posting in this thread, he explained in his post, it you want to start another thread about list of coins being passed around that's cool to, and he even stated that they sent him free coins.
I said something about micros in my post, just thought it was cool, should I not have posted here either?

The first few of the most found caches in the world are micro’s don’t you just love the irony of that FACT

For myself its all about having a little fun in your spear time, I never have reported one to the NGS site and don’t plan to, it all about the hunt, don’t even log all my finds on the caching side anymore either
Have never noticed a elitist attitude between the two

World Largest Travel Bug Hotel by Haley Family (GC1R6A7)
This old pump house is the container, inside are tables set up with the travels bugs displayed, along with the large Log Book laying on another table, it is the biggest cache container I have ever seen

I was wondering if anyone knows of any caches that require overnight hiking/backpacking. Here in Michigan we have an event coming up which you get ferried to an island and you only have what you can carry. Seems like a great event but I can't go. But it got me to wondering what other caches there might be that I could try and plan a trip like that to do. Anywhere in the United States would be fine. Any level of skill required would be fine as well. I will just look them over and decide if I could do it. This isn't a trip I would take any time soon as I don't have any of the equipment I would need for such a trip but one day.
Here is one that is close to what yo are asking about done this past weekend Geo MoJo #13 "I" just want to go home and this event camping on da lake after da big one
it turned out well, read the logs

The Geowoodstock VIII Forums are up!
Why does my browser say GW VII?
The VII forums and VIII forums are both on the Geowoodstock site. Currently, the website has the VII feel to it ;-)
The committee members for GeoWoodstock wanted to keep the GeoWoodstock.com live year round, to gather more information about hosting the next years event, it was very easy to tag it onto GW7, the feel and information will change, but the forms are up for GW8 six months early to help better plan and to get feed back from GW7 about what went wrong and what went right to also help plan better
In a while your browser will say GW8

Hi All,
I was recently going to put out a generic "skirt lifter" cache at a Wal-mart store but was told by the Admin of that state that I will need to get permission.
Although I think it's kind of silly to get permission for a skirt lifter cache, I want to do the right thing and get permission. I live about 2 hours from the store and get up that way about every 2-3 weeks. I was wondering if anybody else has placed a skirt lifter cache at a Wal-Mart store and how they got permission?
If I lived in the actual city I would just go to the store and try to find a manager for permission. I did send a e-amil to their corporate office to see if that would work.
If anybody has a good contact other that the one I tried and could post it, that would be great!!
Thanks in advance!
Tim aka The Weasel
With my four regular size caches at a local Wal-Mart , permission took seven month’s and was worth it
You need to start with the local mangers first and let then carry it to the home office, they are the ones that you need to convince that this is a way cool thing to do.

It sounds like too many caches within proximity to each other to me. I saw the two caches in the GW Museum and wondered how you would log them. I did not sign either logbook since it seemed that these caches would go against the guidelines. I frankly thought they were just examples and not expected to be counted as finds. Wasn't it a museum after all?
I really love Geowoodstock but do not like the idea of moving caches around just so people can get smileys.
Am sure everything will work out within the guidelines, one is being to be moved I saw in another thread.
Looks like one of the caches in the Museum that was there for an artifact was being logged but the cache page was locked as it should have been. It was there for a little history nothing more nothing less
The host of Geowoodstock do not like the idea of archived or non-grandfathered moving caches around just so people can get smileys either, but that is something we have no control over
Hope Ya'll had a little fun while attending, and look forward to seeing everyone next year
Happy Trails

Your first contact would be me at JoGPS@gmail.com about hosting a Geowoodstock in your area

This one has been hidden for almost two years and still dry, checked on it three weeks ago Geo MoJo #7 // da beast within
It’s a large Pelican case with vent, inside of a double 50 cal ammo box with hasp installed that was treated with liquid truck liner, it is weighted down really well 100 lbs plus to keep it there.
and yes it was hidden with permission, it not in a river channel, can you tell. You got to want to be in there really really bad

JoGPS, you are *so* the man.
I bet you never imagined GW would get so big so fast.
First year nope, no way but after the second yep big time,

Will be the first one to admit that I did not even look at the cache page or maps, but we all know only to well that cache placement guidelines can be different from one state to another.
It would not bother me at all for someone to tell me ( or my reviewer ) my cache was in a different state or county, if I messed up then I messed up and would want to know about so it could be corrected if possible and the cache could live on
Joe
Did I just agree with OzGuff ? yet thinks me did

I have one in a large storm water run off pipe it is about .4 of a mile in, and yes I needed permission from the Department of Water and Sewerage services for placement ( there policy )
How on earth did you manage to get permission for a cache like that? I am impressed.
I try to always ask permission, its usually pretty easy once you find out who to ask, and we all know that some places need it out of common since
and thank you

will always remember mtn-man at the first GW, you could say he had a split personally X 75

The website is planned to be released on or around Jan 1st and should have everything on it then and they will not have to add other stuff later, some of it is because of tax reasons associated with the event itself in 2009
The best place to stay will be in the Murfreesboro area, try google

The guideline was changed shortly April 2002, after I placed about 15 caches inside of a zoo at just about every cage distance was in-between 60 to 150 feet from each other ( for the other old timers remember that wording in the guidelines ) there was no set limit up until them, but exceptions were even made back them by volunteer reviewers
Shame on me, was just having a little fun, in my defense the zoo was letting out local geocaching MTGC club ( second only to the GA club ( first in the World ) have meetings there FREE
its cool to have guideline written after you when you are a cacher, but not very cool after becoming a volunteer, will never give that one up

I asked the same QUESTION at the Mid West Geo Bash of the reviewer panel and the one Lackey ( but she was very cool ) in attendance and the official answer was a BOY
inquiring minds demanded to know

This is not to cause a flame war or anything like that ,there has been to many on this subject, but maybe the OP can tell us the reasons for theirs hides
6 micros
1 smalls
2 regular
What were their reasons for hiding mostly micros ?
Respectably
Joe
BTW , I like all types of caches especially virtuals
