    Accindental Cache

    in General geocaching topics

    Posted

    I'll admit I was briefly intrigued by TC, but if they encourage that kind of disregard for this site and the people that work hard to create new caches, count me out. The intrigue began with the lure of less traffic, more discrete caches, but I guess members only caches can fill that void. As far as "unique, creative caches that break away from the 'masses," can't they just think of new ways to adapt/evolve caches on this site? This would eliminate the proximity problem. Plus, that's what most of us already try to do.... *sigh*

    Interesting (scary) Cachers

    in General geocaching topics

    Posted

    The cacher 'Fen Dweller' hides some of the most interesting caches(bait?) and makes some of the best cache pages that I have seen. I was wondering if there are any others similar to these out there.

    If you miserable sacks of fat and snot think little Fenny is frightening, you would do well to stay clear of my cache.

    If I could direct your attention near the bottom of my first post...... :D Thanks Ellylidian, and everyone else, these are great! Keep 'em comin'.

    Hey all you hawaiian cachers out there. My brother in law is on a mission in honolulu, and I would love to place a cache near him. But that's too far away for me to place and maintain a cache(I'm in Utah).

     

    Is there anyone out there that would like to help?

     

    OR is there a Hawaii Geocachers Club that might be able to help me?

     

    Thanks, BEO ;)

    Travel bugs or Treasure can be items or informations towards your interest or something that you're looking for.

     

    Hmm, new multi going up in the area? ;)

    To Pee, Or Not To Pee?

    I say PEE! Its bad for your kidneys to hold it, ask george costanza. Don't pee on anything that people will handle, but if I'm in the woods and nature calls (isn't that why they call it that) dang right I'm gonna go. Heck, I'll take a trip to the woods specifically for that! Beats a gas station restroom any day! :D

    White Jeep Deception

    in Trackables

    Posted

    There's No White Jeep Here!

    I ran across this one. The owner of the cache claimed to have put a White Jeep TB in the cache. I know someone who spent considerable time and effort to retrieve that White Jeep TB. He had a great time caching in the area, but was very disgusted to find that the White Jeep TB had never been placed in that cache. The owner seems to be keeping the Jeep to himself.

    There seems to be some gibberish about being able to enter the Jeep contest if the Jeep isn't there.. I thought that that was for instances where someone took the Jeep and didn't log it. To have claimed to put the Jeep in the cache, and yet keep it for one's self seems a very sick perversion of the whole idea!

    What a self-serving piece of claptrap this is!

     

    (Edited to abide by guidelines. Thanks, Welch.)

    On the other hand, if someone was to place a jeep in a cache and not drop it, just place a 'suprise'. What a great way to get the jeep into the hands of an unsuspecting cacher who may be more likely to move it along than keep it.

     

    Instead they usually fall into the personal collection of jeeps that I'm sure alot of people have sitting on their mantles or other places of honor to be revered and worshipped for their holiness.

     

    Just make sure they drop it in the cache and then grab it to keep mileage correct. Is this a good idea? I have a jeep that I plan to drop this weekend and would like some opinions.

    Just a note to say I appreciate all the hard work that goes into the jeep TB contest. It's cool that jeep would lend its name and ad money to support our hobby, and all the volunteer effort is carried out very efficiently. I think they improved alot on the contest after last year I especially like that you don't need a jeep physically in your hands to enter the contest. I'm a long time jeep advocate and a short time geocaching advocate.

    None of the included parties NEED to continue this contest at all, so we should all be grateful it's underway again this year. SO NO MORE WHINING. and hopefully it will be back again next year with even more improvements. :lol:

    Sig Items?

    in How do I...?

    Posted

    I've seen that as a sig item. Which is absolutely NO reason not to use it...it's a neat idea!

    Really, I thought I was being original. But the only sig items I ever see are 90% business cards, and those aren't really too much fun to trade... especially when that's the only thing left in the cache.

    Okay, I've got one, who wants it and how much do you want it? I take cash. :lol:

    I think it's a great idea to place it in a cache and not drop it until someone else finds it. That would be a great suprise for someone. Unless someone really wants to send me some $$, I won't complain.

    Sig Items?

    in How do I...?

    Posted

    Here's an idea for a sig-item: Custom printed guitar picks!! How cool would that be? BONUS: they would probably fit in most micros also. Mine would say BEO in bright orange letters on a lime green pick. Plus you can get alot printed at once, you could afford to leave a few in each cache. :lol: Alot of places can even print logos or pictures too!

    I kind of like the fact that the email notification isn't working -- it makes it more interesting, and maybe it will give more people a chance to find one. There are very few WJTBs circulating in my state (Massachusetts) at the moment, and when I dropped one off in a cache on Wednesday morning, I expected it to be snapped up within hours. But it actually sat for more than 24 hours before being picked up.

     

    I agree this email *error?* makes it easier to find a jeep tb for those of us who don't get to cache all day every day(like I want to). My main complaint has to do with sifting through hundreds of caches to find one that may or may not still have a jeep in it by the time I get to it. Maybe the solution is a pocket query for jeep TB's. What do you think?

    Is the e-mail notification expected to be fixed soon or is it even a part of the contest anymore? I haven't seen the sign-up feature on the jeep TB page lately, does this mean we're on our own to watch the recent moves to find one that pops up in our area? IMO this makes it a little more work to find a WJTB and its already hard enough to find those little suckers!

    are the white jeep icons working in the cache pages? i haven't seen any yet. i know the email notification isnt working yet, but if the icons would show up, i could sift through caches easier. instead of sitting on the jeep tb latest movement page all day. you know what i mean? well, do you?

    Geocaching Humor

    One autumn day a redneck was out during deer season. He had no luck so far, until suddenly he noticed something rustling in the brush nearby. He shouldered his gun, took his shot and hurried over to inspect his kill. To his suprise he found a geocacher laying on the ground in agony. The hunter was shocked and immediatley called 911 on his cell phone. The redneck exclaimed, "I accidentally shot a geocacher, what should I do?" The operator responded, "Okay sir, calm down, I'll walk you through the steps. First we have to make sure he's dead." The redneck said, "All right, hold on...." the operator on the line heard *click-click, BOOM* and the hillbilly put the phone back to his ear and said, "Okay, now what?" :yikes:
