NanCycle

One of my ammo boxes was taken by a utility worker, but he brought it back a few days later. Evidently took it home and researched it, decided it was harmless, even signed the log. Later the box was taken again and gone for good this time. Many other types of container have also disappeared.

Yesterday I found 4 caches and logged all 4 finds on my Android phone before going to an event. After I got home I logged the event on my Mac running Safari computer; then also edited all the 4 find logs. Now the event is showing as the 3rd find of the day, not the first, not the last, right in the middle.

There is no review process for ALs.

I received the following: Hello NanCycle, Congratulations! Because you have created a public Adventure, Geocaching HQ is giving you the opportunity to create two additional Adventures for the global community. We have selected geocachers from those who created one or more public Adventures and have no credits remaining. You were chosen as part of this process. What does this mean? You have access to create two additional location-based Adventures, each with up to five Locations. If you use both credits to create public Adventures by International Geocaching Day (August 20, 2022), you will have the chance to receive additional credits after August 20th! In three easy steps, you can create and share your custom Adventure with the world! Please read the Adventure Lab guidelines (Lese die Richtlinien auf Deutsch). Your Adventure must follow the guidelines, or it may risk deletion if problems are reported. Review the Adventure Lab Builder guide (Lese auf Deutsch/Lire en français). This provides step-by-step instructions. If you're looking for inspiration, check out this Adventure Lab tips article and Top 5 tips video. When you're ready to create your Adventure, log into the Adventure Lab builder with your Geocaching.com account. Please note: Your Adventure Lab credit includes up to five Locations. If you create an Adventure, it must be set to Public (not Private). Your Adventures have no expiration date, although if there are issues they may be turned off at the discretion of Geocaching HQ. By creating an Adventure, you are helping test and improve this platform for the future. Geocaching HQ intends to expand opportunities to explore by welcoming creators and players beyond the current geocaching community (learn more about our vision here). Adventurers, both existing geocachers and new players, are sharing that they are excited to see Adventure Lab explore more types of content, ideas, locations, and themes than have been traditionally supported in geocaching. For example, we are seeing highly-rated Adventures in theme categories such as ‘Food & Drink’ and ‘Exercise’ and we are hearing parents share excitement about Adventures that are specifically created ‘For kids’ to enjoy. We encourage you to innovate by featuring compelling narratives and themes! We have recently added the following features: Themes: Adventure creators can choose from 31 themes to add to their Adventure to help create and share compelling stories. Players can use themes to find Adventures that interest them. Filters: players can filter in the app for new Adventures, completion status, estimated time, Adventure type (sequential or nonsequential), and themes. Time Estimate: an estimated time to complete an Adventure is calculated automatically and displayed to players once an Adventure has at least five completions. For more information and ideas about creating an Adventure, please visit our online Help Center and Geocaching.com forums. Congratulations, and have fun creating! Best regards, Geocaching HQ

Yes, there are fire-resistant and fire-retardant paints. I don't know how well they work.

My (so far only) AL also has a specific location where you have to start. Parking is available only on the opposite side of the river to where the AL is, and there is a pedestrian bridge to cross the river from the parking to the AL. And, no, you cannot access the AL from the other side by walking--there is a railroad yard and at least one fence in the way. ( But I don't really understand what this thread is about.)

Scouts under supervision, maybe, but others have given good options. "Students" -- absolutely not! Many of us make our caches PMO specifically to keep them out of the hands of this age group.

I don't understand how not having features that you're not paying for is a "rip-off."

I have this issue also, using Safari. Shows correctly in Chrome.

Yes, those and a few others, like International Geocaching Day each year.

I'd sure like to be able to do this also.

I just got it also.

Just did this. Will see if it helps.

Thanks for your help. It has been so beastly hot here, and there's no shade to walk in, that it took me a while to want to get back out there. The Adventure is now up and running, waiting for the first finder.

That's a good reason for always deleting all the older files before loading new ones.

Playing with this some more, on three devices--cell phone, tablet and computer--it looks like I can do all the write-ups on the computer or tablet and only really need to use the cell phone on site to get the coordinates and photos. Right??

Tried this; no help.

It doesn't for me. All I get is "My Adventures. 0 Available credits. You have Adventure(s) that are set to Off. Go to the Adventure builder to edit them. Go to builder."

When I try that in Google all I get is "No app found to open link."

I have one AL started the I was planning to finish today. But when I go to Adventure Lab> Profile>My Adventures>Go to builder>Open the Adventure builder in your mobile browser>Open>it just goes back to My Adventures>Go to builder>and all I can do is go back and forth between those two screens. I have logged out and back in. Do I need to delete and reload the app? (App version 1.3.32; build 2995) Or what?

And it starts out by calling geocaching a "treasure hunt."

Thanks. I couldn't find any information regarding that. So I won't worry about it.

What is there to prevent more than one person from creating ALs in the same area? Specifically, I have started making an AL on a new (short--about I km) walking trail. What if someone else wants to make an AL on he same trail?

I often sign logs out of order. In the rare actual logbook, people skip pages, use only half a page, etc. . On the more usual log sheet--often the back of the paper is completely blank, or lines are skipped. I usually use the first blank space I see. Has nothing to do with the effort of turning pages, has everything to do with wasted space.

Are you trying to use more than 3 decimal places?
