Personally, I don't think it's too much to ask.
I would recommend that instead of emailing them back that you checked it for them that you email back and request they post a DNF.
Then once they post a DNF, feel free to go verify and post a note on the cache.
That way, other cachers know you checked it AND your reviewer knows you checked it as well if a question arises.
*** This post contains no intentional snarky or sarcastic comments. It is intended in its entirety to be useful and positive in nature.
They did post a DNF. It was the first DNF for that cache in a while. Since it was on my way, I wanted to make sure before I told them it was where it was supposed to be.
I know if I email for help. I make sure I send a response immediately, even if I don't intend to do that cache for a while.

A cacher was looking for one of my caches. It is a little bit of a tricky hide, it is in plain sight though. He/she couldn't find it and requested that I verify it was there and email him/her.
This cache was on my way home from work so I checked and email him/her to let them know it was there.
Usually I look quite a while, come back and look again. I will put it on my watchlist to see if there are other DNF's or finds. Read the logs for clues. I don't know if this person did that.
The thing that get me is they wanted me to make sure it was there for them, but they never emailed back to say thanks. Is that too much to ask.

Thank you Knowschad for pointing out the fallacy of believing this has to be a man writing this blog and stealing these caches.
If you scroll down the through the photos, about a third of the way down the page there is a photo showing what appears to be a lock-n-lock on the end of a lanyard. The hand in the picture (judging by the fingernails) has a definite feminine appearance!!!
I stand corrected!!!
Good call. You should be a detective. I totally missed that clue.
-
Never trust tracks in the snow! (that said... look for the tracks coming away from the cache, not those going toward it)
That's why in the winter, and I'm out caching, I walk backwards.
You won't know if I'm coming or going!
I drop and roll... no footprints that way.
-
no misquitoes no black flies, no ticks
You might have a tough 0 for 3 day (like I did this winter) or you may have a huge number day.
It is great in the snow.

I built one like this. I don't know how it over-wintered. I haven't had any new comments on the camo job so it may new a re-do.
I used fake leaves so I didn't have to worry about the leaves getting broken. I didn't use any dirt.
Nice job.

This is the oldest cache in Ontario, I think

I have already posted in the GPS forum but got no response, so I decided to try here.
Any of you canadian cachers using a delorme? If so where did you get it?
I have not found any other listings of Canadian sellers selling the delorme. Do people not use it up here?
Thanks in advance for the help.
I live close to the border so I ordered mine to the closest US Walmart. I bought a PN-30. So far I like a lot of things about it. Some things I don't, like the lack of a file system. I am still waiting for Canadian aerial maps to become available.
All in all I like it.
You should be able to order any Delorme map from worldofmaps.com. They are located in Ottawa.
I checked, no aerial imagery.

If that cache is on a clearly signed private road, it should be archived.
-
The only problem with that is that all the dead parts of the plant still contain the oil. From the looks of that log, it is everywhere.
-
Bad idea. Simpler & better to move the cache. But since you asked:
http://landscaping.about.com/cs/weedsdisea...oison_ivy_3.htm
That tells you how to get rid of the leave kind of poison ivy. The poison ivy near my cache is this kind.
Will the same method mentioned in your link remove it?
I wouldn't even touch that one. Each little hair has the noxious oil in it. You'd be playing roulette.
-
That seem to be the ticket. A little advice from all, and topping it off with Jeff's pic by pic.

I was thinking you were talking about membership credit. For every member you recruit who purchases a premium membership, you receive 1 month free. So for every 10 recruits, it gets you a free year.
It makes financial sense, GC.com gets $300 in memberships and gives away $30.
Credits for their find, doesn't make GC any money and doesn't help you out.
-
Even having explicit written permission to play Frisbee wouldn't give you immunity from prosecution if you hurt someone.
Along this line of reasoning, then clicking the "I agree" button would not give immunity to GC.com .
-
I don't know why the permission requirement does not apply to parking lots.
I know this won't stop the bomb scare but it will help with the after effects. This should protect the hider and the searcher as well as GC.com from possible legal actions. If it is a shopping mall parking lot, it is privately owned property. Some parking lots are signed showing it is for use only for customers of the business only or risk being towed.
That would be like someone assuming they could place a cache in my work parking lot. I work at a trucking company. We do have visitors, so there is parking for non-employees. Does this mean you wouldn't need permission from the owner to place a cache on the lot.
The same should go for parking lots. In a Walmart parking lot, you have so many people coming and going. Many don't even notice people looking for a cache. Others notice but don't want to get involved. Then you have the people with 9-1-1 on speed dial. The bomb squad is called before you get back in your vehicle.
At least with permission when the cop comes knocking at the hider's door, he can produce the permission letter. It might help, but doing nothing won't.

I read his other FOUR logs. He sounds like he thinks he a seasoned veteran. He went as far as to say on his 2nd find
He basically complained that the others weren't hidden well either."The coordinates were dead on which is a first for my GPS."Definitely not worth losing any sleep over.

My thoughts are that you can have the most waterproof paper in the world but if the ink used to write on it runs off it... why bother? I am not trying be argumentative just curious about real wold experiences people have had with waterproof paper.
Does the writing not run or smear on them?
I was testing some Tyvek. I wrote on it with pen and pencil and Sharpee. soaked it for a while in water. Took it out, the writing had not smeared. I wrote on it right away and the pen worked perfectly, the pencil was OK and Sharpee was OK. But it definitely passed the test.
I never tried a gel pen.
Fedex envelopes work great, but only after they are used. Fedex wouldn't want you to use new envelopes for anything but shipping.

Just FYI, when I went to that link, it tried to install some type of "security" software.
Avast block some malware on my system.

I hit a turtle once. The darn thing darted right out in front of me.
In my defense, though, I just plain didn't see it because the setting sun was particularly glarey that day. It was on a stretch of road that goes right between two ponds and judging from all of the stains, I'm not the only one who has hit one. Still, though. A turtle for crying out loud.
That was my cousin Tommy. He was wearing his safety shell. The doctor couldn't save him though. That OK, I paid my mortgage with my inheritance.

Did you know that ships go up and down through the locks of the Welland Canal?
Oh I forgot the original topic. Never mind. What hazardous work, mother got arrested, most world muggle.
help, I need my meds.

ooh dear
soon people are gonna start calling the bomb squad for any discarded juice box, or random container tossed on the ground
i don't know how the bomb squad works, but before they deploy all the experts and the high tech equipment, isn't there a way to check on the claim?
seems to me like a huge waste of resources
If I wasn't into geocaching, I would probably call the cops thinking that it is part of a drug deal.

Can you explain your exact method of loading caches before firmware 2.7?
I found out why I couldn't download all caches properly. There was an override on the symbol for the micro's. It caused a micro to be treated like a child waypoint.
Now I cannot get my logged caches to show up.. I will try to figure that out now.
When viewing your list of geocaches, click on the Menu button and select Switch to Show Logged...
It shows me "logged Caches - 0"
It is actually showing all logs including my found caches and my caches in the "not logged" section
-
I am afraid to give my truthful opinion in fear I might get flamed by the OP.
I would say take a deep breath and count to ten. Not everyone is going to like your caches. Why not just delete the logs you don't like?
His response was very whiny and yours was just plain rude.

I almost always cache alone. I have met some people geocaching and we have geocached together since then but it is hard to coorinate. My son and wife HATE geocaching. My daughter loves it, but doesn't like to get out of bed on Saturday mornings. So it is usually just me.
So you just won a trip....

I got home yesterday and the light was flashing on the phone...A MESSAGE... I press the play button, and I find out that I did win a trip. All I had to do was press ' 1 ' but since it was a message it didn't work. I guess I am stuck here in Niagara.
