  1. Thanks, yeah, don't figure people will stop and look, but if even one does that's a start. Thanks for the suggestion.
  2. This user recently logged 3 coins with the date 2/1/16. One of these coins was stolen along with several others several years ago, one went missing 2 years ago, the third is held in possession and does not circulate. Please beware logs from this user.,
  3. IngoKnito appears to be doing this now. He logged a tag that has never been released, and looking through his recent finds (all dated the same day, and with the same log) he even logged a tag that had gone missing. Any way to report these people?
  4. I don't know. I posted my find, and no souvenir yet. I think I'm gonna quit caching forever because of this.
  5. Another great thing about CS is that it allows you to cache and write your logs both "live" while you're in range of the network, and "offline" when you don't have a signal.
  6. I know I'm coming in late to this discussion, and I decided not to read every post, but I have to wonder - all of those people who think this is such a bad/horrible/worthless idea, and don't understand how or why anybody might want the suggested changes - why are you even in this discussion? Because you like arguing about things? Because you like to think you're better than somebody else? This was a suggestion to change the way PQ's are made available. Not to eliminate the way it's currently done, but to offer different alternatives. If you don't like the suggestion, leave the conversation. Nobody is making you stay here and read this, and if you're not interested you're certainly not contributing anything. It's things like this that remind me why I'm not a regular in the forums.
  7. Oddly enough, it seems the forums used to log me in automatically when I would transcend here. Thanks to Craig and the people here I am back up and running again. Thanks for all the help! esq
  8. FOUND! Thanks to Mr. Park-Ranger for this discovery: http://www.danielhalen.com/The_Journey.html I've contacted them and they tell me that it is indeed one of their caches (and I suspect #4 mentioned above is as well). They indicated that they plan on adding these caches to geocaching.com Thanks to EVERYBODY for the help on this one. It's been an adventure! esq

  10. Thanks for your help, and everybody's help. I'm still following up with a couple of locals by email who may have more info, it's just slow going. Thanks again to all, and I'll post any answers I get here so everybody can get some resolution on this one! =)
  11. While on vacation in Alaska/Canada we accidentally came across a cache but have been unable to find a listing for it on any of the caching websites. The cache was located in a large turnout off of Highway 2 at the border between British Columbia and the Yukon Territories. It was a large rubbermaid type container hidden under a bush just at the edge of the turnout. We believe it was called "Geo-Cache #8". We would appreciate any information anybody can provide regarding this cache. We left some travel bugs there and are concerned about them. esq
  12. Thanks to all of you who've responded and researched this issue. Just to add a little more background, I have checked geocaching.com, along with TerraCaching, NaviCache, and Buxley's mapping page, all coming up empty. I had not thought about a letterbox (as it was named "geo-cache") so I really appreciate the effort on that part. I like the idea of an abandoned vacation cache, but others had signed the log, so it was clearly in play at some point. I've also written to 3 local cachers for assistance, but have yet to hear back from any of them. It also occurs to me that this could be the final to a multi or mystery cache, but there's only one of those within 50 miles and it doesn't appear to lead here, so I am doubting the likelihood of that option. We found the cache while on a tour off of a cruise ship. We just happened to mention geocaching to the tour guide while at this location, and he told us he had been shown a cache at this location by a previous cacher. After a quick search we found the cache in excellent condition, though it seems it had been a few months since the last find. In light of this whole ordeal, yes, there are several things we would have done differently. Of the 5 cachers there, none of us thought to get the coords. Nobody wrote down or even thought to look at who the cache owner was or if there was a GC number. No pictures were taken of the cache that would help us track this down. We were so excited to unexpectedly find a cache out here on our jeep adventure that we didn't think about these things. We just assumed the cache would be listed. We'll do things differently next time. Oh, and for anybody considering a road trip, the travel bugs we left were frira Erq Wrrcf...

  14. Never happen. It's clearly a parody and no copyrighted trademarks are being used anywhere on the coin. Absolut is trademarked. Absolute is not And that face in the label is GeoNap not Lenin/Stalin or whoever the dude who is really used on the Absolut label. 8. The following trademarks and all related logos and designs used herein are owned by V&S and/or its affiliates, subsidiaries, parent or related companies: ABSOLUT bottle design Truth of the matter is... it's a bottle... no more... no less... No one has a trademark on a bottle. It's a geocoin too... it's not exactly as if we're saying that we're making vodka. You can draw whatever inferrences you want, but bottom line is that it's not a copyright infringement plain and simple. Case closed. Actually, V&S etc do have a trademark on the bottle design, and a court would likely find in their favor. If it really ever got that far. But what they don't know won't hurt them. And, of course, I bought mine.
  15. For the record, it works on my Sony Ericsson T616 through AT&T/Cingular.
  16. How is it that I've been a member for nearly a year and I'm only now discovering this functionality? And that only by accident? Where is the "how to" page on the website? thanks, esquimaux
  17. Maybe Benchmarks could be downloaded in a GPX file? And how about PQ's that include Benchmarks? Or KML files? Or bookmarks? esq
  18. Looking for a Benchmark Coin. Have 2005 California, EU, Mt Everest, and others incoming available for trade, including Delaware and San Francisco.
  19. Have 2005 California, EU, Mt Everest, and others incoming available for trade.
  20. Looking for an uncirculated German geocoin. Have uncirculated EU, California or Big Bear coins to trade. Also looking for a San Diego coin if there are any of those around.
  21. Well, okay, yeah, there is that. But that doesn't include all the other information I seem to be paranoid about. But I guess most of it's probably available without too much work.
