prntr1

Woo Hoo, I got that same black mailer, tossed it on the table thinking the same thing, came in here, read your post and shot back into the kitchen!! Sure enough, #217 was still safe and sound. Cool coin, cool mailer and cool stamp!! Thanks geo-bandit

I showed them to you Saturday night after your 5th drink. Wasn't that about the time she started slurring her words, and insisting that she wasn't?

Looks like while I was up at Geocoinfest losing at poker (again!!) the devil came down to Mississippi

Your imagination runs wild. I just see some flames and a tongue, quite normal for a devil. Anyway, congrats to everyone who found one of these. Very nice looking coin !!! I see a Shaved Headed, Heavily pierced and tattooed drunk guy giving two middle fingers and screaming with his tongue out while he blares heavy metal music and jumps on the hood of your car...Cool You saw prntr1 then, cause that's how he looked most of the weekend. Woo Hoo!!!

Many thanks to the GCF 08 committee, and all the other volunteers and vendors, ya'll done good!!

The Nearly World Famous and always entertaining Ronbo visits Cleveland often, you may want to drop him a line through his profile.

Did you contact them? I activated a wrong coin number on one of my personals not long ago, I have no idea if it is one still in my box, or I gifted it out and it was left unactivated?? I marked it missing and have seen nor heard anything since.

Let it go. Yes. Too late! Thanks for sharing. It's amazing how many will passionately support free speech AND tell folks what they should say! I hear that Ed!!! We have a "prominent" (in some peoples minds) cacher who will just delete your log if he doesn't like it. No reall reason needed, the OP doesn't want to turn into that person. I agree with the above, let it go. They found the cache, let them log it how they want, it will be gone from the page in 4 or 5 finds.

What about a cacher who sticks brightly colored "signature" labels to the outside of the cache container? Maybe he was probably glad the cache was actually there, and that the owner hadn't ran out and moved it And maybe the cache owner said leave one of those brightly colored stickers for me And maybe in the whole scheme of life, it just doesn't make a hill of beans what anyone else thinks, because some people will always, no matter what, think the worse, if in fact they think at all

That is a great attitude to have.

Sounds a lot like our situation, however the owner states it is still there. The picture spoiler on the cache page has now been modified, another local cacher verified for us the cache is not where it was, but the owner still hides behind the myth that it is "right where it is supposed to be". I guess it was lucky someone else didn't come along looking for it at the time, of course they could have, not everyone posts their DNF's A lot of things fall under the "its a game" umbrella, but wrong and right are obvious to most people, some however will always do the wrong thing, and someone else will always be astonished either way. Back to Will's original question, I will help anyone find a cache, they are after all meant to be found. Need a lifeline, give me a call, I try to be helpful and friendly at all times

So, how much money do you have in the bank I have $3.92 today You got me beat by $1.82! I am so, so very sorry ps, you going to gcf?

We have a group of cachers near here that put out a lot of puzzles, then the rest of the group "solves" them and they all run out and log them. I think it makes them feel superior to everyone else. Another cacher and I recently went after one of the puzzles, and the cache owner removed it when he found out we were in town, his stated reason "I don't think they really solved the puzzle", of course he found out from another one of the group that regularly "solves" the puzzles, that we were in town. Of course, I logged a DNF, the first of which was promptly deleted First time I ever had a DNF deleted Having said that, a puzzle cache is meant to be solved, does it matter how it is solved? Do the math, research the answers online, phone-a-friend, look at spoiler pictures, what is the difference, the coordinates are found, the mystery is solved. Maybe add an additional logging requirement, sorta like elementary math, "You must show your work to get credit for this cache" More on topic, if the cache is found, it should be logged, the point is to get to the final coordinates right?

I'm glad I read all the thread before I answered, as this was going to be my question. If you already know where it is, you're not finding it, you're just looking at it. Here are some of the common uses of the word "find": To come upon, often by accident; meet with. To come upon or discover by searching or making an effort To discover or ascertain through observation, experience, or study To obtain or acquire by effort I don't think going to one's own cache is in agreement with any of these common uses, but if someone wants to log their own cache as "found", well.............. that's up to them. So, any of those methods is an acceptable way to "find" a cache, is what your saying, right? I know a cache owner who actually removed a cache, knowing that another cacher had driven over 100 miles to log it, because he wasn't "sure" he had actually solved the puzzle. He then replaced the cache, after he knew the cacher had left town. By your definition, he found it, but was unable to log it because it had been removed temporarily by the cache owner. The cacher (and his companion) properly logged a Needs Maintenance, and a DNF, which the cache owner deleted

The biggest difference would be the added cost of passports. For a family like mine, I am looking at an additional $400. This makes a huge difference for us. Another family and ourselves were just talking about how cool it would be to go to Toronto for an event since we love the city and all. With the added costs of passports for a one time trip, it just makes you reconsider and find a new place to visit. If your not flying, but driving, you could look into a passport card

Have passport, will travel. Bid away!!!

Ironically Alberta is easier to get to than Alabama from the West Coast. I mean it's not like traveling abroad now is it? Really it is. Need to check new passport rules. Having said that, I am all for Canada, bring it on LFD

Thanks for the suggestions - they all look good. I even already had Wilson House (GCNZQB) bookmarked - it's right down the street from The Shed. Don't miss either one, they are both excellent. There are some great cachers down on the coast, contact leftygator, or cknmiss24 and see if they will recommend a few as well.

Wilson House TB Inn GCE02C View Carre GCE02C Katrina Memorial GCW2P6 There are three that I would not miss, there are plenty more along that route.

The way I read what he wants to do is attach the geocoin key to a real fob so the entire thing looks like a normal keyring. How is that stealing a tracking number? If that is his plan then it is the same thing that a lot of people do with their travelers. I should have looked at the picture closer, basically he is just adding the keyring, so he is attaching the key to a new ring, no problem. I read that he was removing the tracking number from one item and was putting it on another. I revise my opinion

Your basically stealing that tracking number from a coin, that has been approved by Groundspeak, and putting it on a item that 1) is not a coin 2) has not been approved. Just my opinion, of course, but I wouldn't do it.

I'd go to TN. I've always wanted to visit Nashville. I'm going to Graceland, Graceland..... I was by Graceland today, visit every chance I get.

Is this part of our group? Still need the GC #s for the remaining group events to add to the bookmark list. GC1E26M Mississippi's is up and running.
