TerraViators

Movie ticket stubs, soda can tabs, used hair bands, perishables are not good times in my opinion. However, I like finding some items most would consider bad swag, such as golf balls, Coke product caps with My Coke Rewards codes, coupons to restaurants (how I discovered my favorite Indian food joint in town) and dice and marbles (two weird items I collect en masse.)

I can only recall a few instances where a virtual or letterbox-hybrid was not at posted coordinates. However, I like this feature.

If was up to me, I'd allow both...but it's not.

This is what I do. Bingo. I have a novel idea when it comes to how people log caches. Ready? Grab a pencil and write this down: Don't worry about how people log their finds. Log how you want and let them log how they want. Don't pet the sweaty things. Amen,

I attended an event on 9/3 at ground zero for the intent of a group hunt. There were no HOA signs present at that time. However, I would imagine there will be signs soon. At that point, I suspect the cache will be archived.

This doesn't bother me. Almost every time I've been asked, I've been fine with it. I believe we should assist others with maintenance if given the opportunity. I suppose it can be one part self-serving and one part community serving, but it's really a non-issue for me. I take pride in my hides. No way I'd want someone to throwdown a cache if it's missing. I've never seen a worthy throwdown - they're either a pill bottle, bison tube, or some other type of small cheap leaky container. And I don't buy the "help" excuse. Unless they mean help themselves to a smiley. I might buy into their declared altruistic intent if they didn't count the cache they threw down as a find. I agree with your point that you don't want a geocacher to replace an ammo can with a cheap food container. However, if I hid a match tube or bison and it's replace with the same thing, where's the harm in that? I'm sure I don't take it as seriously as some, but I don't want my hobby to be serious...I have enough serious with work and family obligations.

I was unable to find this app in the google Play store? Is it available there? Can you provide the exact name of the app or any other info? Thank you! I don't believe it's an app...it's a URL in which you can browse with your phone's web browser.

There are at least a dozen active waymarkers in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area, three in my small-to-mid-sized college town.

I just logged a 'Will Attend', also.

We took a photo last year for 3/14/15, time stamped at 9:26:53, the first ten digits of pi.

What an achievement. Congratulations. For me, Waymarking is a way to catalog my love of photography and human geography. The site is a great way to track your photos with coordinates and dates. I also enjoy posting new waymarks.

Contributing to the moral decay of our society. Do not listen to this post as its bunk. This is exactly the type of misdirection a Platinum member uses in attempt to keep a man down.

I say cache with your kid however you want regardless of corporate TOS. Your parenting of your child trumps almost everything else any other person or organization says about it. The statements are there simply for legal purposes and I doubt would ever be enforced. That could be a PR nightmare for any family-friendly business.

Confirm that you have checked the box that your geocache is ready for review.

It's this simple. It's just like OPAIs in insurance. You need to upgrade to Premium membership as early as possible, so that you have the Option to Purchase Additional levels as you age. You'll never reach Platinum membership if you first do not upgrade to Premium, not to mention the Minority Reporting of new geocaches. You'll know they exist days before the reviewers know they exist which gives you a heads up on FTFs. Speaking of FTFs, you become eligible for the real FTFs, not the ones reserved for the common man on geocaching.com, but the preferred status FTFs on Groundspeak's geocaching-platinum.com dark site.

It is an interesting element but I don't believe many people would use it. Besides, it could be used as part of a puzzle cache or a CO could simply add that the cache is on the fifth floor, or fifty feet above ground or some such.

Yes, it is a link to the checker. See one of my challenge caches here as an example.

As an earthcache owner, this wouldn't bother me. As long as you can answer the questions and understand the lesson, I'm fine with it. I've had folks ask me if they can log an earthcache that they visited before they realized it was an earthcache. I've allowed it but have asked (not required) them to post a photograph for fun.

Anybody notice that the record for posters online at once (883) was this day last year?

The more ridiculous a challenge, the more likely somebody is going to come up with a cache that fulfills somebody's need for some obscure combination of cache-name/attribute/diff/terrain/whatever. A challenge's primary purpose should be to set a goal that a cacher aspires to meet, not to provide power for an over controlling cache owner to yield over another. I do giggle a bit when I see a geocache titled something like $ Parallelogram Wombat Purple Baltic Avenue 3 Z Cemetery Ü Professor Plum.

Apology accepted. We're good. I've enjoyed your waymarks as I work in Fort Worth and live in Denton so I'm able to cover a good distance.

I can suggest a way to handle it. Just ask me.

I'm confused. I did not steal a photo. I personally took these photos in June 2010 and can provide the exif data. The angles of the cemetery signs are even different.

Forgive me for bumping an old thread but I found it interesting that in my July 2014 post, there were 584 geocaches within a 5-mile radius of my home coordinates. Nearly two later, that number has increased by only 9 geocaches. I expected a larger number.
