This sound like a great idea to get someone who is diabled to get involved in the game. Just another way of using billion dollar satelites to play hide and seek.

He is hunting in a CEMETARY. That is wrong in many different ways. Firstly, who to say the visitor isn't there to pay respects to a friend or relative. Secondly, unless this guy is a perfect shot, he could easily damage the headstones.
The only way he has the right to do what he did is if it is his family's private cemetary.
Sounds to me if he hadn't seen deer in 7 1/2 hours, he should change locations anyway.
so then by your reasoning a cache in the cemetery would also be wrong.
Not at all. Caching would be considered passive use. Hunting would not.

I use deet from my knees down if I am only worried about ticks. Worked this year for me.

What is you Twitter ID? It might be interesting to follow other cachers.

I've been told point blank no geocaches on Scout Camp properties as they are private properties. .
There is one in our local Scout camp. It is the end of a puzzle. It is on the outside of the parking area, so not near the campers. I hope it stays, it is very Scout swag oriented.

My favourite...
Would you consider this an FTF?

I've got a hide that is close to tracks. It is about 30 feet south of the tracks, but it is on the remnants of an old tressel 30 feet above the level of the tracks. it is a large stone wall. I mentioned that this should be a significant barrier from the tracks. (I think the fall would probably keep you from reaching the tracks). It has been published.

I am curious on how some of you prepare for a caching outing. I am sure there are some shortcuts I am mssing. This is usually what I do:
1. Find the area where I am going to go that day
2. Download all the caching I intend to try to the GPS (Garmin Legend).
3. On a seperate piece of paper, I wrtie down the caches' name and coords and any notable info from the website.
4. I head out and go looking.
This is an easy process if I am just going for a few but it is a bit time consuming if I am going on a longer outing.
Anyone have some tips etc. to coordinate an outing?
1. pick the area
2. If you have a laptop, use Gsak and download pocket queries for the are you are heading to.
3. download those queries on you GPS
4. go hunting
#2 saves the time of writing everything out. It also gives you the last 4 logs, sometimes this may help you

I may have mouthed off the points that were valid but I certainly would not have taken ownership or apologized in such a public forum unless I were required to do so legally.
I disagree. Sometimes the best way to handle cranky old "fuddy duddies" for lack of a better term, is to be so nice to them it makes you feel sick. It shows others how wrong they are. If you shoot back, it will make people think badly of geocaching. Take the high road.

Orienteering isn't "basic" to geocaching, which is about using a gps and coodinates to find hidden caches.
Please, if you do write up a cache page with some bearings and distances, don't tell me I "need a compass". I don't. I have a gps, I'm perfectly capable of adding 180 to your bearing and walking away from the spot where you provide the bearing on that reverse bearing to the given distance. It's easier and more accurate than using a compass. I mention this because I'd say that 90% of "bearing and distance" caches I've read say, "you need a compass".
Most GPS's, I think are capable of showing a bearings, even if it isn't an actual compass.
In the write up I would say "you need a compass" or "use the compass or bearing feature on your GPS".
-
I was wondering if others would find this interesting.
I was out with my Scouts the other night and for the 1st time in 20 years I used a compass for orienteering purpose.
I thought it might be fun for use in a multi. eg. give the first cords, then use a bearing and distance as a 2nd and maybe 3rd clue, then cords to the final.

What is it with people from MN?
Please tell me what you think about me and why you have issues. I am dying to know. Really.
Life isn't all black and white but the law is. You don't have the right to interpret the law. That is what the court system does.
You have NEVER broken any law?????

I wouldn't do it. road signs are always being replaced for one thing.
Not in my area. We have many pink and off-white stop signs. The only way they get replaced is when a car hits the pole and damages the sign. I thnk they will replace the pole and put the faded sign back up.
-
IT IS NOT YOUR PROPERTY. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DO IT. IT IS ILLEGAL. I WOULD HAVE SOMEONE ARRESTED IF I SAW THEM DO IT.
99.9% of all caches are on property that the hider does not own. Only the few in parks that require the land owners permission or on someone's personal land are exempt from you argument.
Do YOU want to have ALL cachers arrested for littering on property they do not own?
-
Anyone following my idiotic posts over the years knows that was a joke. Get over it please. It was for fun.
I am glad. In our area unless you are in 4 digit finds, you are a know nothing rookie.
BTW, if you colour the cache container with the invisible ink, would you need a UV light to see it?
-
I saw it too - looks like we're still on that lunatic fringe with trekkies and people who like to dress up as stuffed animals.
Funny, that's my wife's exact opinion of the activity, but she likes geocaching events...Go figure.
My wife said the same thing. I know I am a techo-geek, but I don't think I am geeky.
Live long and prosp....

All FTFs are worth spilling root beer. Which was a joke in the intial post of this thread, hehe.
But I don't think this FTF thread has anything to do with the one you bumped scubasonic. I know there are people who think FTF hounds are crazy or annoying and there are those are FTF hounds themselves. I didn't come here to debate anything about that. I just wanted to know how people felt about a cache being published and already having signatures in the log. To me, takes a little bit of the fun out of it, but eh, I'll get over it and I'll have my chance for more FTF's later on I'm sure
I did chase FTF's until it seemed like too many people has inside information. It is not worth my root beer, if someone was told about the cache the day before.
Now I stay clear of the feuding and racing. It can get rather ugly.
I enjoy going for a hike and finding a log that has names in it.
-
Is any FTF really worth spilling root beer?!
Watch Law and Order SVU tonight, You may never chase an FTF again.
-
Am in the middlle of watching it right now don't want to ruin it for others but let just say it gives the FTF hounds of geocaching a bad name
I don't think the FTF hounds need a TV show for that.
