I have visited the new site and do not like it. I will not view it again.

That^ and for the record... I have found 1... not on purpose. I find caches because I like to find them. The idea of being with Kate Beckinsale is no less or more tempting because no one has "found" her yet.

Invite him to the forums.

This comes with experience. I know when I started, I would be following the arrow as it approached zero and at the same time, I'd walk right past the tree/stump/whatever that the cache was hidden in. Now I like to use the analogy of going to a stadium. The GPS will get me to the right section and maybe even the right row, but it is up to me to find the correct seat. Yup^

Why is it such a bad idea? In an area that gets virtually no rain why wouldn't it work? What kind of bag are we talking about here?

Using this method it shows me a little over 4000 Realy? I didn' think Edmonton was that much more saturated than Calgary? I did a surch from near the University and got 1478 I live about a block away from the dead center of the city. Still... pretty sure I screwed something up though. Seems rather high to me.

A bag is technically a container but still a bad idea. A really bad idea.

If it was my friend I would let it slide. What's more important? the friendship or bragging rights? When you or I die.... will we remember FTFs or friends? Even if he is a casual friend.

Those are not muggles now, they are geocachers, just not with accounts here. The great thing about geocaching is that anyone can play, even if they don't have an account, or don't log their finds, or even know what they found. They signed the log, maybe traded items, and replaced the cache...they are geocachers, not muggles. I once had to run to catch a bus. That did not make me a jogger. I may at some time in the future run again to catch the same bus, still not a jogger.

It sounds like the cache was found before you got there. That is your answer. If they are indeed muggles he should not consider himself the FTF?

Good to see. His blog is very well done and writes better than many people twice his age (including me).

It has happened before. It will likely happen again. I need to devise a big sticker for geocachers to put on caches THIS IS NOT A BOMB I'll make a fortune! Especially if you sell them to people who make bombs!

No matter how much they eggs you on?He is such a hardcore cacher...he wouldn't even waffle...Orange juice glad he's so dedicated?I'm glad y'all have hashed this out.If it didn't work out this thread might have been toast.Yeah, they could have been in a real jam.Not something you could get over easy. The whole thing is enough to fry your potatoes! A lesser man would have turned to jelly.

Ive done it and been thanked for doing so. Keep doing it.

I don't think anyone is saying that this happens all at once. You may have gotten that idea from my post about the show on the history channel? The O was just looking for a term for people who trade down a cache or just take without trading. Something in addition to "geocacher". I dunno, it just seems like many of the names people are suggesting have this connotation of greedy, conniving hucksters who gleefully grab all the "good" stuff out of the caches and sneak away chuckling and twirling their villain moustaches. Of course, it's always been my contention that trade items should not be taken so seriously. That actually made me snicker.

...

Did you intend to post that in this thread or did you make a mistake because I did not see anyone here advocate doing that or even mention it.

Well put.

Have a lot of spare cammo film can lids ready to replace the missing ones when people get mad or frustrated and just pull them off and toss them. Neat idea though!

One of these things is not like the other, one of these things just doesn't belong...

I didn't see anyone get in a snit but you. Your little obsession with me was funny for a while, but the weird comment stalking and private messages are starting to get a little creepy. Can you give it a rest, please? Actually It's the other way around dude. Please inform me when the last time I private messaged you and about what? I had no idea I wasn't allowed to reply to things you have posted. Please stop attacking me.

Rehab is for quitters, or so they say. I'm not sure who I would be. The annoying nerdy sister mayhaps? Nerdy? yah... but annoying? no...
