Go to "Hide and Seek A Cache", and put in your geonick in the Hidden by Username box. Then sort by favorites and you'll see your caches listed by how many favorites it has. You can also see which of your caches have favorite votes by selecting "All Geocache Hides" under the "Geocaches" tab in your public profile.

favorites bug me. there are great caches that few people are going to learn about. when we log it, as if we liked it. that's all. would a rating convince me NOT to do a cache. maybe if it had terrain issues or the CO was a butt. who's going to rate a light pole as a favorite unless it's in her favorite mall? still, they have their place, just like guardrails. go by the log & word of mouth. it's worked well so far... I think that's why they only gave you 1 favorites vote for each 10 caches you find... so you'll be judicous in their use. Think about it - chances are if a cache is really good, it's going to have more than 1 favorite vote, unless only 1 person has found it. In that case I'd think people would be smart enoug to look at the logs and description for an explination as to why there's not more finders. There's going to be abuse of the system one way or another... but this at least will highlight the really good caches in an area. I do agree that being able to flag BAD caches would be nice as well, but the politics behind that would get really messy.

Don't know if it's new to this update or not, but if you click on "View all {XX} bookmark lists..." to see the rest of the bookmarks that include the current cache you're viewing, it takes you instead to YOUR bookmark manager and shows all of YOUR bookmark lists.

Hey! Me too! I don't have any coins, and since January starts 2011, I'd like 2011 of them. And to think I was going to do it the hard way and buy them!

Yes! I bought my two sons their first geocoins for Christmas, and it sparked their interest in geocoins. Since then, we've picked up another coin through a barter (an elaborately designed cache container for a coin), and won a coin through a local cache club challenge (who could find the hardest cache in the coldest temperature). We just got into geocaching last September, and didn't feel comfortable moving travellers at first. But now the boys are choosing caches based on which ones have coins to move!

My sincere apologies... I didn't realize that the forum was area-specific. I see now that it's for "San Diego County"... I was originally linked from an outside website. Yes, the black rat snake was spotted in Ohio.... Feel free to delete the previous posts and this reply, again with my apology. PS - BEAUTIFUL pictures!!!

Waypoint projections... true North vs magnetic North calculations... BACKWARDS waypoint projecting (there's a name for that, but I'm too lazy to look it up)... finding the patch TO the cache before finding the path FROM the cache (grin)...

My 6 year old son discovered this black rat snake in a hole we *thought* might be holding the cache. Turns out we were in the wrong area entirely (it was a puzzle cache), but we snagged a great picture for the scrapbook!
