I work for a school district and I can tell you "DO NOT" place caches on school properties. If you're seen skulking around school properties someone WILL call the police. When my kids were in school we would get notification when strangers were seen outside school properties for too long a period.

...When you drive down the street pointing to different areas saying, " Got it, got it, need it , got it, need it..."

I suppose you have proof? The burden of proof is on those who claim ghosts are real, to date, no one ever has, that by itself is proof they do not exist. No. The burden of proof on a TOTAL NEGATIVE statement must logically be placed upon the one making the statement. To prove your statement, you must either rule out ALL possibility that the affirmative can possibly exist or you must evaluate all possible cases in an infinite set of cases and determine that 0 out of infinity meet the criteria. If anyone ever has ANY ghost sighting incidence that cannot be CONCLUSIVELY proven false, this must be taken as evidence (not proof) that there is a possibility that ghosts exist. Even ONE sighting with a valid possibility that it COULD have been a ghost then puts the burden of proof on you to test every possible case in the infinite set. I would submit to you that there are MANY thousands of sightings that have not been proven to be hoaxes or otherwise discredited that COULD be most easily explained as legitimate hauntings. Occam's razor therefore would require that they be considered legitimate hauntings because that is the simplest explanation- until a simpler explanation is profferred. Basically a statement that "there is no such thing" presupposes that you have evaluated every possible instance and that none of them either exist or that none of them are true. Have you done that? May I have your research please? Pure BS. You prove ghosts are real or my statement stands as fact. "Facts" can be substantiated. You are speculating.

That probably would work for us. In fact one of our team members works at JPL. Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, I don't have the talent, or software either.

After seeing all the GREAT work you do, I am very hesitant to ask you for some help. I and a few friends cache as a group. We call ourselves "TEAM CVG" (Crescenta Valley Geocachers). We've discussed the possiblities of a logo, but can't seem to come up with any ideas. We're all from very diverse occupations, so we tend to be drawn what we know...I won't go into it. So, an impartial person may solve our problem. Can you help? Let me know.

Are you sure. If you look at the site you'll find that your Geocaching website profile shows up there. Bugmeister

As far as I can remember, the ONLY way you can view the pictures IS to click on them. Bugmeister

I like "Thistle Put Heron Your Chest" and "As For Egrets, I have a Few"

Okay, it's simple. You sign the log when you find the cache. That just verifies that you were actually there. What's to keep a person who just wants to puff up his numbers to just go to the web site, pick a cache, and claim that they found it?

I started as a Letterboxer and try to get to a new one every so often. If you can't find a stamp you like, but have an idea...and can draw it...go to any print shop and they can have the stamp made for you. It's fun. Happy hunting and be careful.

You have to be pretty unimaginative to have to resort to writing on the wall. What are they, new?

When I got my GPS (Garmin etrex) I made sure to read the manual. If you look carefully you'll find that your GPS ( depending on the brand ) could be off by as much as 1 to 200 feet . Mine has been off by (at worst ) 17 feet but has been right on a good deal of the time. There are quite a few things you have to keep in mind, trees, powerlines, and sometimes the weather can affect your readings. Use the encrypted hints if you need to, they may lead you closer to the cache. If you read the cache descriptions close enough you may find the clues that you need.

My story really isn't all that interesting. I got mine from the kind of work I do. I'm a PEST MANAGEMENT TECHNICIAN. A Pest Control Technician in some places, an Exterminator in others. I toyed with other names, but landed on BUGMEISTER as my choice. (My second choice was Ratkiller)

I'm still new at this, but I think finding the little trinkets a bit more interesting than money. Finding a silly little toy (or whatever) makes the finder want to look harder at the cache. I know I like to take a gander at what people are leaving. Sometimes if you look at the logs you'll find the previous cachers leave items that represent their Geocache names.
