We have a couple of those here, I happen to like them. However the ones that we have are attached with magnets, and don't need to be unscrewed to be opened.

hm, I do all day hikes on nothing more than a chicken sandwich and a bottle of water. My husband thinks I'm going to kill myself, maybe he's right, but I'm usually to focused to bother to eat (not advocating for it, just saying)

I was a girl guide when I was a kid (that's the Canadian word for girlscout) I have never owned a snake, however I have owned many different lizards and turtles. I do happen to have a dragon tattoo (among many others) I am also a married mother of two. what that has to do with the price of rice in china I don't know, and why anyone else cares is beyond me.

I had one that was near a school, but not visable from the proporty, actually 3 or 4 blocks away. however, being proximity to teenagers, it was muggled before it was published, in spite of the care I took to camo it. I'm going to replace it as soon as I get my hands on a similar container, but if that one goes missing, game over. I did think about placing it outside the school grounds, but on public proporty near a bus stop, but the thought left my head as soon as I pictured the FTF hound activity around the cache site, and the stir that would cause (especially since it's a boarding school and occupied 24hrs)

oh, and Ken Kostic can tell you all about the benifits of lock n locks...

Bison tubes are really for holding a small ammount of pills. Great for putting on your keychain, and if you ever need an ativan out in the field, presto! as for the nanos, I think those are just for geocaching, but someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

I love DSLRs, the picture quality is amazing! That said, I don't like to take it caching because of the size, and I'm kinda worried that if I biff, I'll destroy it. I just take my cheap vivitar, a little pocket sized one. I wouldn't be heartbroken if it broke in a tragic fall down a mountainside, and it doesn't take up too much space in my caching bag. However....well... just look at my photo gallery...kinda average quality.

I think your note is enough, since you were able to clean out the cache yourself. I generally don't post a NM unless the owner needs to visit the cache. As for the two containers, one was probably muggled (sounds like by animal muggles this time) and the CO replaced it, but couldn't find the original cache's lid at the time, but it has turned up now.

um. am i the only one that thinks that there's nothing wrong with posting a NM when the log is full? no, you are not the only one, and as a CO I wouldn't mind that. To me NM is anything that would require me a trip to my cache. edited to add that I don't think a DNF warrents a NM. Just because one cacher DNF doesnt mean much, a string of DNFs is a different story, but I wouldn't need someone to post NM after that, if there's more than 2 DNFs in a row, I check.

I have heard of someone being detained by the cops...

yes, I just had a cache stolen right before it was published. sucks, now i'm going to have a hard time finding a simlar container to replace it with, but oh well, cest la vie

My father in law thinks its a wase of time "because you don't win anything" and every time I come home from finding a cache, he asks me how much cash was inside. I think people are spelling it wrong :S

There's a lot to be said for royalty free images...

Thats never happened to me, but just today I had a cache muggled before it was published. A bunch of people wasted their time looking for it, and a few people needlessly ventured into a creek (cache was never in the creek, but they thought they'd try) I feel really really bad.

A couple of times I have wanted to place a cache at a historic spot, but have been thwarted by an existing cache. I usually just post a little info about why I like the site in the cache log, people like that kind of thing.

What an interesting idea...I've never heard of that... An interesting idea sure... But also a banned one. ah but I see the makings of a whole new site...geomuggling.com... where we place caches and see what new and exciting ways people can find to mess them up *note sarcasm*

What an interesting idea...I've never heard of that...

As I've noted elsewhere, I am watching a missing cache. It was logged recently by someone who logged four caches in New York, and, on the same day, caches in East Timor, England, France Sao Paulo and the Czech Republic. 14 caches logged in one day! A pair of geocachers came through our area and each logged finds on a cache which was long gone. The best you can do is monitor your caches and delete their logs when you find them. It's less of what to do about it, because that is pretty self explanitory, the question is why do it in the first place.

oh and out of being nosey and having too much time on my hands (clock watching before hubby gets home so I can go geocaching lol) I couldn't find anyone with that username, looks like thats just a girl scout troop number, and they must be using a different name.

The name of the reviewer that published your cache will be the first log on the cache page, you can send them an email and explain the situation. You may want to contact the cacher in question, they may have tried to find your cache and found it to be missing so they put one there. Don't jump to conclusions. this could be true too. maybe they tought they were helping. (my 2 cents is that you shouldn't replace an entire cache without contacting the owner first, but not everyone thinks this way)

is this the one GC24K03? Since it's not archived, then the reviewers wont accept their new listing, as obviously right on top is less than .10 mile I would send the reviewer in your area and email, and replace your cache. If you don't replace your cache it might be archived and then they CAN place a cache there.

in general they have a "reccomended at night" attribute. there is usually something in their description to indicate this as well. If you have premium you can search for ones with that attribute, otherwise you can just comb thru and find ones with it, or find someone with a bookmark list of their favorite night caches.

love it!

Because some people have nothing better to do than just playing on the computer all day, clicking links and doing things they ought not to. By the way, I like the pics you posted on May 19. thank you. those pics go with quite a story of an all day cache retrieval, and relate quite niceley to MaMa & PaPa D's situation, the cache in this case should not have been so difficult, but due to a wave knocking it, a seagull, or a cacher with really long arms, it had become more difficult than intdended. Lots of people were logging finds on it even tho they didn't actually retrieve the cache. I didn't worry too much about anyone else, but it was an all day, two gal adventure, and we had a really good time with it.

but I like the numbers too. I like challenging myself to find a cirtain number of caches in a specific period of time. But it's just that, challenging myself, to beat my own expectations. Any knob can log false finds... I still am failing to see the joy in it...
