Around here we have a tradition of being evil and hiding really devious caches, for example the cache itself is in a fake rock, and that's after you solve the puzzle!

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you' happy birthday to geocaching' happy birthday to you! PARTY!!

darn, I thought I was generally healthy.

I think that my cache GCNC8J is pretty good, But I might be a teensy bit biased

what is going to happen to the find count?

ARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH, NOOOOOOOOO We must immediately outlaw logbooks and pencils inside caches, and replace them with blunt, broken crayons and toilet paper. The very idea of pointy things and paper cuts gives me the shudders! This heavily edited, sarcastic post is brought to you by (insert drum roll here) Camo-crazed! Seriously, go for it

I'm # 257948 I'm # 257948 I'm # 257948 Darn, it just doesn't have the same ring as #1 BTW #1 was Dave Ulmer, who started the entire sport and was around before GC.com even existed

TRADE UP, NOT DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! when will people learn?

dry container funny theme puzzle that is not impossible, but makes you stop to think nice view interesting container ( fake severed head, fake hollywood style bomb ) e.t.c. e.t.c. e.t.c.

yes, new locations are great. I'm sitting here in Ottawa wishing I could spend a week in Nashville Call me crazy if you want, I've been wearing nothing but camo for the past 7 years (but I do change it every day) and I probably am

they're hovering around a buck where I live . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . but I live in Canada, so that's for liter

me too, but I can't read it. what does it say? me = (blind guy)

only if my TB was a FTF item

hold on a minute while I edit my post above yours [homer voice]doh![/homer voice]

It wouldn't be buried unless he dug the mine specifically to hide the cache. Ummm, you didn't do that, right Cap'n? I just assumed that a 'mesume' was something mine-related that I was too dumb to know about. me too

or you can listen to mtn-man, his idea should work

look at the bottom of a nearby cache. at the verry bottom, it should say "approved by XXXXX" clicking on the name will bring up the approvers account page where you can contact him

There are lots of factors to take into consideration Distance (1 mile or 20 miles) Toughness of the legs ( is it a neon orange film can or a hollow bolt) How ambitious are people in your area (are they up to a one leg or a twenty leg cache) Terrain ( flat or 90 degrees up, driveable or mountain climbers only) What's at the end (lampost micro in a dump or a mountaintop view and an ammo box) I personally just completed a 18 leg multi two days ago, but it was , for the biggest part, driveable, not too far between waypoints, and in an ammo box (no mountains though). Add that to the fact that we have a very ambitious cacher population and it starts getting a lot of visits. of course it was put out 2-3 years ago and the last finder was 11 months prior to my log, because almost everyone around had already gotten it. in the end though, it's all up to you

He said that he would return it later. PS, don't sign up for navicache to find out who, if anyone, hid it, they send a lot of spam

go for it. although since 650' of bedrock doesn't make for very good reception, give them instructions on how to get there, for example: Enter the mines, go 70 feet down the tunnel, take the second left.... You get the idea

There are two like that (kinda) locally. I had fun doing that, but then how sane can somebody be who wears nothing but camo PS reflective tacks can be found in the day

well I would nominate the dead monkey thing, but that was posted by joefrog, quoted by snoogans, and re quoted here by me ------------------------------------------- I like monkeys. The pet store was selling them for 5¢ each. I thought that was odd since they were normally a couple thousand dollars each. I decided not to look a gift horse in the mouth. I bought 200. I like monkeys. I took my 200 monkeys home. I have a big car. I let one of them drive. His name was Sigmund. He was retarded. In fact, none of them were really bright. They kept punching themselves in their genitals. I laughed. Then they punched my genitals. I stopped laughing. I herded them into my apartment. They didn't adapt very well to their new environment. They would screech, hurl themselves off of the couch at high speeds and slam into the wall. Although humorous at first, the spectacle lost its novelty halfway into its third hour. Two hours later I found out why all the monkeys were so inexpensive: they all died. No apparent reason. They all just sort of dropped dead. Kinda odd like when you buy a goldfish and it dies five hours later. dadgum cheap monkeys. I didn't know what to do. There were 200 dead monkeys lying all over my apartment. On the bed, in the dresser, hanging from my bookcase. It looked like I had 200 throw rugs. I tried to flush one down the toilet. It didn't work. It got stuck. Then I had one dead, wet monkey and 199 dead, dry monkeys. I tried pretending that they were just stuffed animals. That worked for a while. That is until they began to decompose. Then it started to smell real bad. I had to pee but there was a dead monkey in the toilet and I didn't want to call the plumber. I was embarrassed. I tried to slow down the decomposition by freezing them. Unfortunately, there was only enough room for two monkeys at a time, so I had to change them every 30 seconds. I also had to eat all the food in the freezer so it didn't all go bad. I tried burning them. Little did I know my bed was flammable. I had to extinguish the fire. Then I had one dead, wet monkey in my toilet, two dead, frozen monkeys in my freezer, and 197 dead, charred monkeys in a pile on my bed. The odor wasn't improving. I became agitated at my inability to dispose of my monkeys or use the bathroom. I severely beat one of my monkeys. I felt better. I tried throwing them way but the garbage man said that the city wasn't allowed to dispose of charred primates. I told him that I had a wet one. He couldn't take that one either. I didn't bother asking about the frozen ones. I finally arrived at a solution. I gave them out as Christmas gifts. My friends didn't know quite what to say. They pretended that they like them but I could tell they were lying. Ingrates. So I punched them in the genitals. I like monkeys. I guess I'll have to put them in a cache.

I wonder, if you fed a dog out of a tupperware container or an ammo box, and gave the dog a treat when he/she found a cache, would that make them more likely to find it for you, or just fatter?
