Pigeons?

Normally I would say log a needs maintenance log in the first instance, and if there was no response in a month or so follow it up with a needs archive log. However I can see there are already two seemingly unanswered NM logs, so I would say go ahead with a Needs Archive log.

I'm not sure about that idea I'm afraid. You only need to click on each individual icon on the map once to bring up a small panel of information about the cache, including the D/T rating. If you have it so that info is available straight away, it's going to make the map a bit cluttered.

If they did, some young photogenic couple would have been on hand to dig it up ;-)

I love puzzles, but I think a potentially high traffic cache like that ought to be a traditional, otherwise many cachers will be put off. Is a TB hotel feasible where you are thinking of?

Ah yes.. I remember, although I don't remember the wording, the archive logs were very scathing about reviewers/GS/cachers.

I use the boxcar app for the iPhone in conjunction with the notifications and our gmail account.

Guess it depends on the CO. But personally we would frown on that sort of thing. It just so happens once we bumped into a caching friend of ours at GZ of a cache literally moments after we'd hidden it. We chatted but didn't let on what we were doing there, and went our separate ways without him realising. Hope he understood when he saw the cache published a few days later

Hmm, have you got location services disabled?

+1! like it!

Hard though it is, the best thing to do with cache vandals is not to give them the oxygen of publicity in posts like this, however good your intentions.

Open to interpretation...

Knowing my luck, if I got to Mars and placed a cache there, I'd send it for submission and it'd come back it's within 0.1 miles of the final of a puzzle cache...

Exactly :-) or you could be really sneaky, use another cache listing nearby and fake the co-ords (and the hint) to change them to wherever you're putting your cache, so she doesn't suspect anything, and she'll hopefully think she's looking for someone else's cache and not something you set up...

Hi Pee :-) You could set up a cache and don't list it until afterwards. I'm sure someone asked a similar question before. I'll see if I can find the link? I hope the answer comes back yes :-) Edit: Found it!

I've seen caches in England with French names, so I would think it would be fine

Oh Yes. GSAK has got better and better. We cache lots with smartphones.

I always put a couple of words e.g. 'friendly horse at GZ', 'fungi' in the field notes as we are in the field, to jog our memories when logging later.

This isn't the sort of forum post I like to read, but I'll move on and read another forum post because I know there are all kinds of forum posts out there, including lots of forum posts I do like. I know lots of other people like writing, reading and replying to this type of forum post, so I'll leave them to it. Now, if only caches were like forum posts...

Agreed.

I don't agree with this thread either, just like I didn't with the last. As was stated in the previous thread several times, Groundspeak defines the valid types of cache and as such defines the game. Event caches are valid therefore. If there is an inconsistency in the way the rules are written, then TPTB can address that. If you don't like events, don't go to any. Plus, the proximity rule doesn't apply, so you can place physical caches right next to them if you want.

I was about to suggest http://www.wmcaching.co.uk but I see you've introduced yourselves :-)

Doesn't that drive the "I have to keep X radius around my home coords clear" cachers nuts? Personally I think it's good to have a nearby unfound cache in your back pocket in case you've got a day you need to find a cache for a streak or to fill a day in your calendar.

Link not working for me :-(

Am I missing something? The cacher who did the throw down added a photo to their log with their container... And THAT'S certainly not a pipe.
