  1. Has anybody come across an item called a "Dry Box." I saw one in the back of my Mom's jeep. When I asked about it, she said she got it at WalMart for about $5. It's a plastic container that looks suspiciously like an ammo box, and it has the same type of latch and an O-ring to keep it water resistant. Has anyone had any experience with these? Pan Cachito ergo sum. I Geocache, therefore I am.
  2. And I thought he WAS REALLY the first to visit the cache in Iraq. Or Afganistan. Or wherever the heck it is. Pan Cachito ergo sum. I Geocache, therefore I am.

  4. quote:I enjoy buying those little notebooks, and I think all other traditional cache placers should be forced by rules to experience the awe and mystery of locating the best deal on a well-bound mini-notebook. Is Mr. Snazz anyways sarcastic? I only ask because I like it! Pan Cachito ergo sum. I Geocache, therefore I am.
  5. quote:You'd need some really remote backwoods area to hide the cache. Doesn't that pretty much knock out the whole east coast? Well, I disagree that a really hard cache has to have a remote backwoods hike. I'm setting up a multi-cache that is going to be close to a 5/5, but all the legs will be within walking distance. I'll post it here when I'm done. Pan Cachito ergo sum. I Geocache, therefore I am.
  6. quote:Ive been looking for some really hard caches, and I dont see many, if any really. I'm working on a cache right now that will be downright impossible to find. Well, maybe not IMPOSSIBLE, but I'm going to make it one heck of a challenge. Where are you caching? Oh. Forget it. I should have read more carefully. Pan Cachito ergo sum. I Geocache, therefore I am.
  7. quote:If the cache has been moved to a location where the owner has NOT previously visited, should the cache owner feel free to log their own cache? I have a cache that is sort of like this, except the mover does not post the coordinates, she just moves the cache and leaves the new coordinates in a small container at the last spot. So, with each find, the multi-cache becomes more multi. I would never think of logging my own cache as a find, even though I've had to hunt down seven legs of the cache now to do maintainence. But that's just me. Some people log a "find" even when they don't "find" it, they just feel they looked long enough. So I imagine there will be mixed feelings on this debate. Imagine that...

  9. quote:Btw sbell111, why do you have 74 finds logged for the same http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=28947, your own cache? You know, I have to contribute to going off topic here, but I was curious about this same question myself. Yesterday I clicked on the "Read Most Recent Logs" link and it was filled with logs of sbell111's find of that cache. Weird. If I had to guess, it looks like the previous owner (??) was deleting your logs, which you thought were legitimate... then you adopted the cache. Am I close here? I need the scoop. Pan Cachito ergo sum. I Geocache, therefore I am.
  10. quote:You don't have to be rich or have a lot of it to play. Just have a little common sense, respect, and your in. While I concur that common sense and respect are valuable assets to the game, sometimes I wonder about the levels of such traits in the forum posts. I agree with you though. Good show. Pan Cachito ergo sum. I Geocache, therefore I am.
  11. Thanks. Got my answer. Bought the product. I'd lock this if I knew how. Pan Cachito ergo sum. I Geocache, therefore I am.
  12. I know this is a cross-post, but I was hoping for a somewhat quicker response. So please forgive me my tresspasses. I have a Garmin Legend. Right now I plug in the coordinates and hop in the car. I can't be bothered to print maps of the area, or do other such reseach. I just head toward the dot on my screen, if there are parking coordinates, bully for me, if not it can result in quite a bit of driving around. So, my question is this: Can I download maps into my Legend? I've seen some talk of this in the forums, and I've tried wading through the Garmin page looking at the descriptions of the software, and I've tried piecing together some conversations in these forums, but I just thought it would be easier to ask the question from scratch. What's my best options here for putting maps in my Legend? Thanks, Pan Cachito ergo sum. I Geocache, therefore I am.

  14. quote:In the Austin area, I've noticed little evidence of cachers, and what I have noticed, you pretty much have to be looking for it. I'm commenting from the Massachusetts area. I notice quite a bit of evidence of cachers in this area when I'm out hunting. I'd say about 30 - 40% of the time I locate a cache due to the clear evidence of a new branch of a trail leading toward where the cache is. This phenominom is particularly prevailent when the cache is placed in an overgrown, or heavily wooded area. It seems to only take a few finds before a new trail is beaten. So, my point is, I can see how someone who is not a fan of Geocaching may be peeved by these mini-trails popping up throughout their preserve. As one who's contributing to the problem, if it can even yet be labeled a "problem," I'm not that concerned. Yet. Pan Cachito ergo sum. I Geocache, therefore I am.
  15. ... forum newbies would never post silly messages... Oh, wait, half my posts would be deleted. Forget it. Pan Cachito ergo sum. I Geocache, therefore I am.

  17. quote:Well, this time you didn't do that. But next time you will! I've already begun preparations on my next geocache. I'm going to have it up and running ASAP. It's going to be sub-titled, "The World's Hardest Geocache." Pan Cachito ergo sum. I Geocache, therefore I am.
  18. I guess I should have been more precise. I'm looking for discussion about hiding a cache about 30 feet up in a tree. You'd have to climb a considerable distance through the branches to locate the cache. Does this seem too dangerous? Pan Cachito ergo sum. I Geocache, therefore I am.
  19. Is there a discussion on Geocaching.com, or within the forums about rules regarding the hiding of a cache in a tree? My search function does not seem to be operating within acceptable parameters. I'll take unsolicited advice too. (Wow, I see I just accidentally typed my very own oxymoron.) Thanks. Pan Cachito ergo sum. I Geocache, therefore I am.
  20. Its at a rest area. Seems safe enough to me. It's not like you have to run across lanes of traffic to find the micro hidden under the reflector on the yellow line. Have you been to look for this cache? If so, did it seem dangerous to you? What's the concern here? Pan Cachito ergo sum. I Geocache, therefore I am.
  21. So, I found out that the finder actually DID do alot of the work... and then made some educated guesses on the rest. Thanks for all your advice, you were all right, and the finder definitely deserved the find. Now, how do I lock this topic? Pan Cachito ergo sum. I Geocache, therefore I am.

  23. I think you can do it through one of those pocket query do-hickys... but I don't really know how they work. Email TPTB. Pan Cachito ergo sum. I Geocache, therefore I am.
  24. So... I hid a cache recently, and I have a problem with the first find. Now, I don't want to get into specifics (although I know it won't take people long to reseach what I'm talking about) but I hid a cache where you have to do some research to find numbers to plug into several calculations to find the coordinates for the cache. (Make sense?) Well, the first finder didn't do the calculations, s/he just went to the parking coordinates and looked around within the distance I indicated on the web page. Well, to me, this defeats the whole purpose of the cache. I wanted people to HAVE to do the calculations. I suppose I could have hidden it better, or in a more difficult spot, or put the coordinates on the web page further away, but that would have defeated the purpose for me. I wanted a semi-hard cache to figure out where the coords are, but an easy cache to find once you had the coords. Now I'm disillusioned. Advice? (Besides "Quit whining sissy" or "It's your own fault" or "I blame the Geocaching lord.") Thanks. Pan Cachito ergo sum. I Geocache, therefore I am.
  25. quote:Originally posted by Lazyboy & Mitey Mite:If the lord of geocaching makes a quick turn without warning your nose might snap off. Unbelieveable. Lazyboy & Mitey Mite, you've so thoroughly missed the point of my post its mindboggling. I make a post to thank the makers, and your very first comment in your response is one of sarcasm and insult. I can only hypothesize that you love the arguments, name calling and controversey, so, like Merlin to Queen Mab, I turn my back on you with the hopes that you exist no longer. Peace and long life. I hope you find happiness some day. I shant waste another moment replying to your comments. Pan Cachito ergo sum. I Geocache, therefore I am.
