Sadly, you can't.
The only way to get all the found caches off is to load a new GPX without them.

Hey Team Tigger. It was great talking with you two. In the past we always seemed to say hi and go our own way. We should have talked before. You guys are pretty cool. See you.

I think there was a train every 20 minutes Saturday evening before I left, but I love trains, my only complaint is that I couldn't see them better.
Although I didn't get to speak with them I did see Lord Elwood, Team Shydog and Wolverine Warriors there, and did get to speak briefly to Team Tigger International, YAY!
And of course no event is complete without a Cybret spotting, with the added plus of meeting Torry and several Cheerios from Off Topic. Double YAY!!
And it was great to meet you Captn !!!!

CONGRATULATIONS WOLVERINES !!

We have been busy , maintaining caches , finding caches and vacationing while caching !
Oh and we have placed a couple of new caches in the area of the geobash as we have been working with Sara from the Noble County Welcome center she had a couple of requests for new caches from land owners in the area.
We have been working with the area people for over a year now. Geobash hopefully is shaping up nicely.

As long as they don't conflict with any of the caches we locals are placing, I've got no problem with it.

City police looking for small, uppity dog
June 12, 2008
A woman was walking her pit bull around noon in the northern section of Waryas Park Wednesday, when she was approached by a small-breed dog, possibly a Jack Russell terrier, City of Poughkeepsie Police said.
The woman tried to get between the small dog and her own dog and was bitten by the small dog. The dog was possibly with a young white boy , possibly 11-12 years old. The dog was unleashed.
Patrick strikes again?

6. When you see a "Road Closed" sign you retort,"Wrong. They're open 24 hours."
It was just that one time we went night caching with Awsome Ev and she DID manage to drive the full mile in reverse.

Hi all, just getting into the sport and having a blast with it. Was wondering if any of the people in or around the Ann Arbor area ever get together?
Wes
All the time. Just look for an event in the area, like the one next weekend (Fri) in the Irish Hills.

Let me first say I realize the reviewers for our caches are volunteers. They do a great job and have been very timely with their work. They have also been very polite when they have not allowed my geocaches. However, I am finding that every geocache I try to place gets flagged even though I leave detail in the reviewer's notes. Is this common practice?
Some examples:
1) I couldn't get my Up in a Holler 1 cache http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...bc-5db5d2007406 unarchived, even though I was the original owner, so I had to make a second one right on the spot of the old one. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...b5-4021b38ebe23 I hated that the old 'finds' won't be connected to these newer ones, even though it is the same geocache.
2) Our town here is very small and with the distance restraints it doesn't allow for many caches to be placed here. I placed two micros in one day. I had to archive http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...22-c4b64437cfbc in order to keep my other one: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...75-f19790e822c2 I have been to other cache areas that have 3 caches right on top of each other.
3) I had to try a couple of times to get this one listed: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...63-241bd861eb18 I originally stated it was next to a creek not on private property.
4) And the past couple of days I have been trying to get this one listed: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...05-4c3d807d33e7 It is on public land that my donations paid for. I was actually the vice president and president for the associational youth rallies that developed this land. Because there is an old railway up on a hill past a creek, I can't place a geocache on this land.
I try to place geocaches that I would personally like to find. I want to bring people to areas they would have never seen otherwise. But if it continues to be this difficult to get them placed I'll eventually lose interest.
What have your experiences been like? Is this normal?
Ahem... I am offering my opinion and experience here only because you have asked for it, but I am warning you that you will not like what I have to say! Here goes:
First, you should be aware, if you are not already, that the vast majority of the links which you have provided for cache listing pages are useless to us, because the caches have not yet been published, and thus cannot be viewed.
Next, in several cases, you fail entirely to tell us the exact reasons cited by the reviewer(s) in refusing to publish your placements, and instead you usually simply offer vague and unsettling statements along the lines that you tried to get the cache in question listed, and that the reviewer nixed it. You have failed entirely to tell us what issues were raised and how you addressed them or if you even tried to address them.
Moving on, to ask your question about my experiences, no, although Sue and I have successfully placed about 35 caches, many of them extreme terrain caches or insanely difficult high-terrain caches, and in fact, despite the fact that I have placed such extreme caches in four states (two on the east coast, and two in the upper Rockies), the summary fact is that we have successfully placed (and seen published) 35 caches in five states across the USA, with our cache placements reviewed by a total of eight different reviewers across the country, and have never had one submitted cache listing refused by any of the eight reviewers; I should qualify that statement by iterating that for a very few of the really extreme caches, I needed to tweak the listing page or the rules for prospective finders before the reviewer would publish the cache, and in one case, I needed to prove to the reviewer that a railroad line shown on his/her map as intersecting the cache site was in fact an abandoned and obsolete railway that had long ago been removed and paved over, but that was all accomplished easily and in quick order.
Overall, judging from the overall tone of your note and your admitted self-imposed limitations (i.e., the fact that you state that you will only place geocaches in your own (admittedly small) town and nowhere else), and based upon the sheer number of complaints which you have cited, this all suggests to me that you may have a bit of a sense of entitlement and have a concomitant habit of always harping on the negative instead of appreciating the things you do like. I hate to get all "spiritual" and metaphysical on you, but you did ask for my opinion, so here goes: it has been my personal observation in life that when someone has as many complaints as do you, and sounds as helpless and victimized as do you, and sounds as unhappy as do you, there is usually a lot more to the story, and there is usually a rather major attitude problem, namely, a sense of entitlement along with a lack of gratitude and appreciation, and also inability to let go of things and move on with grace and ease.
How ever do you get approval for caches in 5 states and moreover how do you prove they are not vacation caches ? You must have some kind of special pull or something .

Flicked a few out the window caching up Sarnia way.
We used to see some real monsters when we cached the back forty of Stony Creek Metropark outside Detroit.
