  1. Geocaching does not give a Milestone for 11,000 finds. Next Milestone is for 20,000 finds.
  2. I sent a trackable to visit my sister in Maine. It was put in a cache in Maine! Next cache finder picked it up and said "Fulfilled its goal" and moved it far away. NO!!! My sister didn't get to find the trackable!
  3. Find four caches on a Thursday?!? That's gotta be tough for people who work! I've found most of my local caches. I'm going to have to work hard to plan this...
  4. Hmm... I got a GPSr from Marlboro. I read about Geocaching in the Newark Star Ledger. Hmm... Looks interesting! Joined July 3, 2004, and went looking for a BrianSnat cache in Wawayanda, where I was maintaining a trail. Almost twenty years later, I'm still geocaching with my GPSr. My ID number is just under a quarter million.
  5. I found a TB in a cache that hadn't been found in two years. The CO had replaced it. The new TB was in Europe, so he aked me to mail it to him, so there weren''t two copies moving about. He even repaid me for the postage!
  6. I would really like to find Power Island (and another cache in Michigan tofill in the Hidden Month Challenge.)
  7. I got a new GPSr: Garmin Etrex 32X. My old GPSr: Garmin Etrex 30X. On the Etrex 30X, when I uploaded my POIs, they would show on the map. With the Etrex 32X, they do not show on the map. How do i get them to show on the map?
  8. I did an Earthcache that required water temperature, so I bought a waterproof thermometer. My nephew has an Earthcache that requires finding iron ore, and magnetite. Bring a magnetic and compass with you.
  9. I've been known to leave my trackables in caches not found often. That way they don't disappear quickly.
  10. Ah. I thought it was because I was using Google Translate for a message from a French cacher seeking help on one of my caches.
  11. Thanks, but it was a night time event. I don't drive at night.
  12. Poor survey. I gave up on it. I didn't see anywhere to complain on a challenge requiring an AL. I cannot do ALs on my GPSr. Insulting requirement.
  13. I've been taking some long day trips to find caches with ten or more favorite points. Not having the best of luck. Oh, well. But I have gotten four favorites on my Webcam cache!
  14. We enjoyed Locationless Caches! We had a lot of fun searching for Viquesney Doughboys that no one else had found. You try finding a street sign with your name on it if your name is Jesus! Found one in Carmel, New York. The new ones were added for new cachers to get the cache type. But they weren't really Locationless Caches. One find per location. Yet many people logged Signal The Frog at the same Mega-Event. Yet, we old-fashioned geocachers who only use a GPSr were discriminated against with last month's Wheel of Challenges that required finding an Adventure Lab.
  15. I remember that Webcam. Found in it 2009! I think the problem is that fake logs are more obvious on Webcam caches. They do require maintenance. I think I delete about 10% of the logs on my Webcam. Not obvious on traditional caches.
  16. I was very happy to have received a Virtual Reward 3.0. I placed it in Weehawken, NJ, where over 60,000 people were boat-lifted across the Hudson River on 9/11. Weehawken 9/11 Memorial Virtual Reward 3.0 Virtual Cache GC9P4VA
  17. It irks me that GCHQ did not stop to realize that some of us old-fashioned geocachers do not have cell phone, and cannot do Lab Caches for this month's Wheel of challenges. I've done lots of Challenges, but I am being discriminated against this month for being old fashioned. And having a Web Site moderator leave some rather nasty comments. I guess Geocaching is not interested in some old-fashioned geocachers, even those of us who have been playing this game for nineteen years!
  18. In many ways, more interesting. Harder to find EarthCaches, Virtuals and LetterBox Hybrids. (I save them for things like this.) Got seven of the eight. But I don't do Adventure Labs, without a cell phone. Would have been much better if any three would qualify for the easy souvenir.
  19. My Letterbox was two MKHs. one with the stamp, one with the log. It had 989 finds and 112 favorites. You had to follow the instructions to find it.
  20. Ah! mail me your cell phone, with instructions on how to do Adventure Labs! I guess I'm a Luddite. Ninteen years I've been Geocaching. One of my major hobbies. I realize that technology continues onward. But my GPSr work well, and I continue onward. I'm not complaining that Geocaching continues onward. I'm complaining that it has decided to discriminate agains us Luddites. Interesting that Geocaching decided to add a Locationless Cache for those who weren't playing when they existed. But thoseof use who without a cell phone are left out of this challenge. Slap in the face, you Luddite.
  21. Rather a slap in the face to us GPSr users. Actually an insult.
  22. Well, since I cannot do Adventure Caches on my GPSr, I'm out of this one.
  23. Twenty-five days into the Challenge, my nephew, Finley, and I found seven FTFs!
