It is so funny that you brought up this topic...we were in the desert just the other day and ran across a number of freaky cows...our dog was going crazy barking at them....
Look at the crazy eyes and the HUGE nostrils!!
-
Has this already disappeared? Come on....whoever has it, please move it along....
-
While locating a cache at an abandoned airstrip, we found a "used gingerbread house" with a box of 9 mm bullets....WHAT a contrast!!
-
A few of these relate to specific caches, but they may make sense to some...
"Sometimes an owl is just an owl. And sometimes it's a cache. But usually, it's just an owl."
(we were doing a cache in Warren, PA (for GWIX) and the cache was along a guardrail next to a fake owl. One member of our caching team picked up the owl 4 or 5 times to make sure the owl wasn't the cache.
)Sometimes it is about the numbers - the number of mosquito bites, the number of dollars spent on calamine/anti-ivy/after bite, the number of ER visits, the number of memories
(about a new Ontario reviewer, Cache Shadow, whose identity is still unknown...) "And only the Shadow knows for sure..."
Geocaching: thanks to micros, even your grandma can do it!
The number of ticks I picked off your jeans vs. the number of ticks you picked off of mine

Garmin has a fantastic Help Desk....call them....
-
When this happened to me, I called Garmin and they talked me through a number of things and emailed be a link to something (can't remember what)....my point is, don't get rid of it until you have given them the chance to check it out for you...it costs nothing to ask them for help.

I only cache with my Nuvi 500. I follow it for road directions and then set it to the coordinate section of the Nuvi and it gets me right to the cache. I have tried a Colorado 400 and an Oregon 400 and I prefer my Nuvi over both of those.

While you are unable to go for any challenging terrain caches, sit in your recliner and solve some puzzle caches in your area....then you will be ready to hit the ground running when your foot has had a chance to heal.

Remember the UNEXPECTED factor....either the container is unexpected, the location is unexpected, or the way of hiding it was unexpected.....OR the number of ticks now crawling up my leg is TOTALLY unexpected

Help...what was in box #3?
-
I take my 14 yr old son - GeoCasey to find the tough ones...he has a cacher's nose and can find just about anything.
-
Hard to say. Last known geocache was New York. I found it in Florida. Letterboxers don't always note geocoins... And no tracking map. But the coin only hade a few hundred miles logged on it. It had disappeared after an event. The owner did contact me and say to set it free again, this time in a bag, and I added a small note to explain what it is.
That is a beautiful story!
-
I was thrilled that Garyskydive1 and Pair-A-Doxes took my Team Flakes TB sky diving yesterday! HOW COOL!! Where are the unbelievable places your trackables been taken to?
-
THAT is hilarious!!

would you consider spiders as "dangerous animals"?
I would!! Spiders scare me more than just about anything!!!!!
-
My wonderful Kitchen sink package has arrived - thank you KB family for all the wonderful thoughts and goodies!! I'll try to post a photo asap!
You are so welcome!! I look forward to a photo....I have NO idea what I put in that box...

Really, the whole "hate in your heart" and 'whoa my drama meter' wasn't negative?
And the calling each other snobs?
Ok..I guess that's adult nice behavior.
Sorry, I missed the "hate in your heart" bit:
not everyone that enjoys geocaching are old and retired. Older people can be just as ignorant and complain over stupid issues. You can't judge a group by certain individuals. This game is for fun and some people just take it to serious, getting hung up on the comments of one person. Just get over it and keep on truckin, can't enjoy yourself with all that hate in your heartSounds to me like a younger person posted that. "Drama meter" was a reaction to that younger person's overstatement.
Actually I have found this thread absolutely hysterical!!!
Here we are discussing whether young people can converse like adults, and here the adults are calling each other snobs, correcting each other, and complaining about each other, and each others posts. (WITH oxford comma, okay?)
This is turning into a really funny thread.
We really aren't giving the kids that high of a bar to reach.
I'd say let 'em in. They haven't been doing any worse than the adults for sure.
:laughing: :laughing: We didn't "call each other snobs". I am the only snob here....................................................

I got a box!!
Oh wait, wrong box, wrong thread.
But I thought everyone here liked my box anyway.
LOVE the box....is that the Tiki Treasure Box?

You need to edit your Instant Notifications settings. These are independent of changing the home coordinates associated with your account page.
This is also my situation after a move...sorry for my ignorance, but where are the Instant Notification settings?

Some of the questionable responses I have seen here remind me very much of the culture on that forum.
I don't know what your reading, but nothing here that I have seen has been as vulgar as 4chan.
I don't know what YOU'RE reading....YOU'RE not YOUR....makes me nuts....
Drives me nuts too, but when you type this fast you are bound to make a few mistakes! I fixed it.
That was just the language arts teacher in me being frustrated by the lack of proper grammar and spelling on cache pages and in the forums...sorry if I attacked....
Some cache pages I have read are just awful...I wonder, would this horrible speller want to know that they look stupid/non-educated or do I just let it go? I have always just let it go....Hard to say. Would you want someone to point out that this post makes you look like a know it all snob?
I honestly do NOT care if anyone thinks I am a know it all snob when it comes to grammar and spelling. I am positive that everyone knows a lot more about many other things then I do....
I also do not believe that my post made me look like a snob...that is your reflection but not my reality...
So, with that said, if anyone ever wants a proofreader for their cache pages, let me know...someday, I may need your help with something and I will call on you for assistance. I think helping each other out makes us part of the geocaching community team.
An added note to GOF and Bacall - I just read your Puzzle Cache description, Blinded with..., if you would like help with correcting the spelling and grammar errors, I am happy to help you with that....NOW I look like a SNOB.....
No, you looked like a snob when you started correcting the postings of others in this thread. Seems there use of they're wasn't up to snuff. As far as correcting my grammar well ya cin taik yur halp hoam witch ya. Us unedumacated stoopid peepols don kneed yur hep.
I, in fun, corrected ONE posting not "postings"...and it was your and you're not there and they're...good luck to you and your "unedumacated" cache postings.

Shouldn't that be, "than"?
Is that what the kids mean when they say, " hoisted by your own petard"?
YUP!! "Than" it is!! LOL!! Happy Day All!!

Are distant, isolated caches worth the drive?

I volunteer to rescue TB's listed on the TB rescue website. We drove 150 miles round trip just yesterday to rescue a TB that was stuck in a cache for over 140 days. I LOVE memorable caching days....it is about the adventure for me....
