A real story of cachers.

You want to see what CO caches are like well this cache will keep you busy for a few days. And if that is not enough well I know of a few more.

I'm still hiding the way I have always done for the last 10 years. There is only one change that time has caused. I have to use True bearings because that magnetic pole shifts faster than the cachers who look for them. And am even looking for some new areas to hide them in, and I believe I have even found two areas that are almost empty of caches.

Denali41 and myself might be able to do something in NE CO. But our preferences are long hiking multis, something most cachers don't care for.

Three pages on this thread is just too much to read. There are a few things that irk my caching experience with my hides, but I've learned to accept it and just go with the flow. But what really gets under my skin is when cachers give the final coordinates for a long hard multi to their friends, and thus the friend doesn't really earn the smiley. So I've changed the final on some of my multis over time and then the logs that they couldn't find it. And I ask for the final coordinates, and then when they give me the coords. I tell them that the cache has been re-worked and that is not the current final.

The Gray Diamond, hid back in Nov. 01.

Use a Brunton, they work all the time.

That is just wrong on the reviewers to change the rules/guidelines to what they think a cache should be. I have many multis, some have containers at stages, some use information gleaned at the waypoint. And what is puzzling to some maybe common knowledge to others.

This could be a win win situation for those of us that traverse the back country. The 9 years that I spent as a USFS volunteer a lot of input went into Trails Illustrated Maps and they have turned out to be a decent map for back country usuage.

Tis a sad story. But if you can leave this place doing what you like then you have reached your highest goal. I looked at his gallery and loved the picture that was taken recently. here, I can remember when the Scorpion went down. And if he was ex navy then I will have to say, Rest your Oars Sailor

Sept. 2001 hid my first one, didn't find one till sometime in Oct. 2001

Well if you want something that will be slightly challenging then this Cache and this cache should keep you busy for awhile. Maybe you can be the FTF on this one

I've seen this crop up more than once in the last ten years. From getting my own virtual (back in the WOW days '04) being shot down. To event caches be not approved. So what I've done is just put something about a vet or a bunch of them, including my parents and my son. But I do firmly believe that Groundspeak's stance is closely related to Hanoi Jane.

Maybe we should change the names of power trails, to the money line. That is one guideline that is not enforced, but if you want to make a cache event with a hike, or to search for some caches they will threaten to archive your event. But guidelines are not rules.

There are two caches out there that meet this unique idea.

Cache Event Dec. 3. More than glad to show you some of the tricks of the trade.

I guess it is for some people. I'm involved in one race, the race to have the most fun. I bet I'm in the top 235 in that respect. I'll second that notion Brian. Fun and at my level of enjoyment. There is a story about the Race to the Outhouse. It was written by Will E Makeit. And edited by Betty Wont

My National Geographic TOPO is allready bought and paid for. Hid many a cache over 8 years ago without Google, so I can get by without it.

Russ there is some good information there. I found the BLM's link to caching. But I'll be cautious when and where I might hide one come December.

Waymarking will give you a bunch of places to go look for.

Hide it about 5 miles from the road with a several thousand foot elevation gain and you will have very few problems.

Would make a good burial plot for Hanoi Jane

I have two of them (real logs) with signatures and they are varnished and sitting on my bookcase.

Datums are datums they have nothing to do with the compass heading. Change the datum and the compass setting will stay the same. The same goes with formats. Unless you are doing any map and compass work I wouldn't even worry what the compass is set for.

Who cares what you do on another website. If they don't like it then don't look at it. And then there is the first amendment. Reminds me of a caching incident back in '02 when a local land manager wanted me to pull a virtual cache off the web. I told them where they could go.
