Is there any major difference between the Sportrack Pro and the Meridian Gold? Does anyone have experience with both? Which one is better, and why? It's an inside joke

I went geocaching on the most important holiday of the year: My Birthday! It's an inside joke

Count me in! When is the first meeting? It's an inside joke

Please hide a geocache if you stop by Praha (Prague to us Americans) I'm going there for 5 months this January, and there seems to be a horrendous lack of caches in the city. (indeed, the country, indeed, the world) It's an inside joke

I've planted several caches in Europe (Ireland, Paris and Turkey, to be exact) and in such far off places as Canada. I recommend using a pill bottle, either perscription or over the counter. Most people have them lying around. They make good, durable, compact containers that customs won't even notice. As to the contents: American coins, a wheres george dollar, (its amazing to see where they turn up) some souveniers of the kind you find at the airport gift shop, an American flag, in pin or cloth form, and something from your American neck of the woods. (For me, as a NYer, it was a metrocard) If you are really in a fix for containers, just use your film canisters. You can fit a logbook, where's george, coins and some other small prize in there easily enough, and they are especially good for urban caching.

How about a system where people hide geocaches along the nations highways, at places like rest stops and scenic outlooks etc. That would give people a good break from driving and make it easier to find caches while on the road. There are a lot of nice rest stops out there with a lot of nearby greenery to hide caches in. So what does everybody think It's an inside joke

I found a mini bottle of Tabasco Sauce (sealed) in Electro Cache, in NYC. I thought it was cool and carried it around with me for a little bit. I was showing it to the guys at lunch and explained its origin and dared anyone to drink it all. Of course, none of them did, except for one who said "You'd have to pay me a million bucks to do that!" I said, "How about 1, each, for all the people who watch you?" He said, "okay" I said, "Yeah, but you have to drink the whole thing, within 30 seconds." He said, "okay" We opened the bottle and passed it around the table, each of the contributors smelling it to verify its potency. (It was very spicy) Undetered, he put it to his lips and drank. He seemed okay for a second, and I wondered if it didn't really taste that bad. Then his eyes bugged out and he went UUUUUUUUURRGGGGHHHHH!!! and spit the half of the bottle he drank into the cup, cracking us all up. He virtually inhaled the milk and water we left for him. Since he put on such a good show, we all gave him 25 cents and he ended up with 1.50 for an upset stomach and the respect of his peers. (Hey, immature I'll admit, but that why they have a word for my people: Sophmoric) It's an inside joke []

Is this a dumb question? Just remember, there are no dumb questions, but there are a lot of inquisitive idiots. It's an inside joke []

Schedule a get toghether for the Geocachers in your area. Have the people hide the caches and put those little hand warmers or glow sticks in them. Then break for dinner, by the time dinner is finished, it will be dark and you can search for them with your device or the glow-sticks. Be a great night of geocaching fun! It's an inside joke []

quote:i like using m&m mini containers I have used a mint skittles container. (You know, the new plastic ones) I like using perscription medicine bottles, they are in an abundant supply and are quite waterproof. I have seen a cache (I forget which one) that consists of a flashlight with the batteries removed, and the goodies are put inside the flashlight. It's an inside joke []

The EU has decided that to stay competitive with the U.S., they have to develop a GPS system of their own. Apparantly they are afraid of the U.S.'s power to unilaterally shut off GPS. They also thought that redundancy is a good idea in case one system or the other fails. (As I geocacher, I know the importance importance of reduncancy.) They also want to develop it for expressly for the civilian market. (although why that makes a difference I don't know) They claim it will cost 3.2 Billion Euros (1 Euro=90 cents). So what does everyone think? BTW:Galileo homepage @: http://europa.eu.int/comm/energy_transport/en/gal_en.html (pretty soon the EU might want their own internet too!) It's an inside joke <>

I was planting a cache in Central Park, NYC, and I finally found a good place to put it. I lodged in the cache, and was wedging in a stone for camo when I heard a squeek and saw a rat. I then let out what I hope was a manly yell of bloodlust, but was probably more of a girly shreek. I think I scared the rat as good as s/he scared me though. I eventually got up the courage to get my cache out of there and put it into another location. It's an inside joke []

I think Eraseek was right. A cache is really something where the process should be 1. Get coordinates, 2.go to coordinates using GPS 3. find something. This allows for virtual caches, though I personally enjoy actually finding things a lot more than just seeing the site. That said, I think that if people want to place and claim locationless caches, it is their business, live and let live. It's an inside joke []
