Here is an interesting cache that uses a video to help find the cache
-
it is a real treat to find a cache located in a remote part of park where you can see a deer.
You want to see deer? come and look at my backyard!!

Bring your own writing implement
edit: never looked at the other logs, [Homer voice]doh![/Homer voice]

I think I heard it was once every ten seconds.
nope, once every 2 minutes and 46.2 seconds (I may have done the math wrong though)
-
I think it may be a little annoying when you get an email for every typo the cacher makes, it would be handy for big changes but I find myself doing alot more typo editing than anything else.

i used to think i was crazy doing caching until, when returning from a cache, i came accross a group of about 20 people dressed in medieval costumes, suits of armour swords etc etc walking through a wood.
now i just think i'm a little odd, barking mad is what i saw not what i do.
That would probably be the SCA (society for creative anacronism). My sister was in it at one time

What happens if I upgrade their account to a membership. Are they allowed to retrieve their own cache?
Great idea!! I'll send you the $3 to do it.
I'll send 60 then he can't maintain it for 2 years!

Actually, it's better to have a new thread pop up when someone needs help. That way it only affect the region they are requesting help from. No one would see it if it was in Geocaching Topics or its own forum
I was thinking that it would be easier to find them if they were centralized

On the dark side of the moon with a transmitting beacon to attract aliens to serve as cache guardians

email Groundspeak and beg them to promote you to one of them

Wow....I sure wish I could get some ammo cans! (here in Canada I haven't seen too many). Are these normally a surplus item or are they an item unto themselves? Should I be looking at a military surplus store or at a hunting goods store?
Theres one on the main road thruogh kingston if you live around there.
-
I already have

any body doing the wheres in a name cache can post their calculated coordinates here, likewise any responses can be posted
I am looking for someone at 23 06.272 N,W,S or east for one of the team members.

I believe the cache page says you cannot live in either of the two cities
-
are there any geocachers near 23 06.272 N,W,E or south?
See waypoint GC3153 for more details and a chance to claim a find.

You think that's weird! one team member goes around in full camo, including a balaclava!
-
You should carry a flashlight with you - just in case your caching trip takes longer than expected. It can also be used to light up those shadowy hiding places.
I carry four, including a hand powered one in case I run out of batteries

make several caches that are meant to be muggled with a note explaining about geocaching inside, and hide them in your hometown. most will fall into a black hole or get muggled and never be seen again but some may spark an interest in someone and start a local geocacher on their way. hopefully that geocacher will hide some caches.

Here is something to consider, You are addicted if:
1. Have you missed classes or work because of geocaching?
2. Do you have trouble refusing geocaching?
3. Do you need geocaching in order to have fun at a party?
4. Do you use geocaching to build up your self-confidence
5. Do you use geocaching to help you relax?
6. Have you tried to give up geocaching and failed?
7. Do you crave geocaching as soon as you wake up?
8. Do you get into trouble because of geocaching?
9. Do you crave geocaching at a definite time daily?
10. Do you lie to others about how often you partake in Geocaching?
11. Have you gotten into financial difficulties because of geocaching?
12. Do you often wish people would just mind their own business about you and geocaching?
13. When you are in a store, you look at every hollow object as a potential cache container.
14. You spend most of your time in a dollar store looking for swag.
15. Everywhere you go, you are always looking for a hiding spot.
16. You get really excited when you find a new park.
17. Do you check geocaching.com web site more than once a day?
18. Has your GPSr ever been confiscated "for your own good"?
19.You no longer visualize/think of the city in terms of streets and addresses but rather cache locations.
20. When you start giving out coordinates instead of map directions to a particular location (like your house).
21. You’ve had more “conversations” on your Garmin than on your REAL cell phone.
22. Your wedding invitation features a Difficulty / Terrain rating.
23. You realize you can now read the hints without clicking “Decrypt”or looking at the key.
24. You get distracted watching movies because you keep scanning the background scenery, thinking, “That’d be a GREAT place for a cache!”
25. Everyone else puts a quarter in the coffee fund jar in the office break room. You TAKE a quarter, leave a Travel Bug, and cover the jar with pine straw.
This is from a cache, placed by one of the members of the team:GCM3TX

You'll be happy to know that we're working on a solution that will allow folks to find Canadian benchmarks.
ALL RIGHT!!!!
I want to find some

"sorry my dog ate your geocoin". Those without dogs can interchange "dogs" with the word "kid" with similar results.
Sorry my kid ate your geocoin?
I had to go because my kid was trying to eat a dead squirrel
Hmmmm...

Thanks for the help, Briansnat, but that is exactly what I do. I have learned that wide open spaces, like a Wal-Mart parking lot, are the best places to turn it on. And I do hold it horizontally for the most part, though, if I am alone (which is not often), I do let it drop on its lanyard. It's hard to bushwhack with just one hand.
I have heard from the people I go out with, that GPS' don't like hard surfaces like pavement or stone.
