Heyo! I've been caching for a few months now, and I love it! I live in Peachtree City, Georgia, and lemme tell you there are a LOT of geocaches here. The local golf cart paths are chock full od geocaches and inspirtation. Me and WhoAteMyShoe are #squad, we geocache when we hang out and it is SO FUN!!! I like to geocache with my friends, and they like to geocache with me. So far I've found 26 geocaches and hope to find many more! I bet you couldn't tell but I like cats, donuts and the color pink.

Land Shark II got FTF'd on the sixteenth, and STF'd just today! Thanks for all the advice. This was probably the most fun I've ever had making a geocache. Ranger Fox: Definitely the latter, although driving across the country to FTF sounds fun, haha. The funny thing is I used to live in Durham. I assume you know where that is? North Carolina is a pretty important state for our family, because the business my dad works for has its HQ there. It wouldn't be out of the question for me to vacation/trip there soon. If I do I'll be sure to visit some of your Wherigos. Also, on the subject of game cartridge ideas, how about America Says?

Thanks for all the advice! I think I'm gonna start simple and then make more complex ones as I go. I could also do some 'focus group' testing with my friends - I made a Wherigo a while ago (it's not posted on the website) just to test some basic things out, and Rob wanted to test it out with me. He loved it! So yeah, thanks. also it took me until just now to realize that ranger fox was the 'rangerfox' that made Wherigo\\kit. wow i feel so dumb ??

Hello all, I’m planning on making a Wherigo cache because my city doesn’t have any (if you know about my city, you’ll know that’s pretty surprising). I’m not experienced in Lua at all, so I’ve been using Wherigo//kit, but I feel like it’s not enough. I want to make something really interesting that cachers will love. So, do you have any advice? If you’ve built a Wherigo, what did you do to really add that “pizzazz”?

So, it was Super Bowl Sunday (eight days ago) and I was trying to change the coords on my geocache because one of the locals had DNF'd it a bunch, so I decided to try to fix the coords cuz my brand-new phone was getting em wrong time and time again. I was going up and down a steep incline, and my foot bent a bit too forwards. Turns out I twisted my ankle, and what a joy that was. I was back up in like two days but it still stings a bit. EDIT: I also got a bunch of thorns stuck in my hand whilst hunting on the local Geo Path a while ago.

ohh ooops not what i meant. i mean a cache that i saw while on vacation.

Yeah, I know. According to this, though, travel cache owners were allowed to turn them into TBs. So they might still exist in a way.

There was only like 100 when they got archived but some of them were changed into trackables later on. I've never seen one, but I haven't really gone to any events... Or met any geocachers in the wild period. I assume most of the people on this forum have been around longer than I have, so I must ask, what is it like to actually see one of these things in person??

Dunno about you but I got two TBs this Christmas. Dropped one in Florida while I was on vacation and it's already traveled 1600+ miles in just one month, give or take. The one I saved for when I returned sat in a geocache for a month. Point being I would put a TB in a vacation cache again in a heartbeat.

If I'm being honest, mine is probably The Rock (GCY8XT). There's something so charming about ammo boxes, and I love how much recursion there was with the whole theme of rocks. Plus it taught me a lot about the history of the church it's named after. You learn something new every day!

So like, why does benchmarking exist? I really don't get it. I'm all about the bonus smileys but still. Why?
