Ok guys I was the Guilty party that started the Stake as a Geocache. Yes I am the Guy that started the Cas run and TS run in Nevada. Wile many people disagree that it is a legit container or not think about all you are saying. You call a wooden stake Geo-Litter or a Plastic bag taped or stapled to the Stake as Geo-Litter. Are we all not just literally Littering the ground with any kind of a cache be it Ammo Cans or any other container? Are we all not guilty of Littering? Plastic Containers will take decades and decades to disintegrate while wooden stakes will only take 8 to 10 years to give back to mother Nature. Stakes are all natural and therefore you would not be guilty of Littering. Also Stakes are wood untreated and so therefore Environmentally Friendly. Paper is made from wood with a lot of different chemicals so there fore is not environmentally Friendly. Untreated Stakes again are all Natural and so will only give back to the Earth instead of harming the environment as your Plastic containers are doing. Think about it. You all want to say that Stakes cannot be legal. Here is what Geocacheing.com says. Geocache Contents Geocache containers include a logsheet or logbook. For all physical caches, there must be a logbook, scroll or other type of log for geocachers to record their visit. Well again where can they not sign? Other type is not specific, so I am using real wood and not Chemically Treated Paper. So in closing Who is the Litterbug?

12 of us were going to this Cache series on Spring break. But I now have backed out as it seemed fun thing to do, now it has just become silly thing to do. The 3 I was taking are going else where and really enjoy finding Caches that someone has done creatively. We love those the best anyway. So watch out Idaho and Utah here we come. Forget the power runs and all the Gibberish that goes with it.

This is the second post and says he didn't know anything about what was going on really? Granted, the two stories don't appear to match up ("no caching" vs "active cacher"), but I'll assume that something just got lost in the translation. Which is usually the problem with 2nd hand information. Sounds like the CO is contacting or will contact the Sheriff's department and will get the straight answer. With miniscule bits of information to work on, it sounds like if safety concerns are met the trail will continue. When the dust settles, I'm betting the trail will be getting smaller and it will take longer to complete the series. But then I'm speculating and there's been too much of that already in this thread. One is from Tony and the other is from his area Commander Dolfin. I am just passing on what was said via phone call. You have a phone you all can call yourselves and get the info from them. If you want to pick apart a thread that is up to you. I provided the Phone number check it out yourself. "Hi my name is Mike Dolfin, I am the Northern Area Commander for The Nye County Sheriff’s Department. Larry if you can please call me at 775-482-8101, I can explain to you what is happening with the State Highway department."

I see you're in Oregon and I'm guessing you got this via email. Would you provide the original message to the CO on this series so they can address it appropriately? Already did was second post on here. and no I cannot provide this was a personal phone call from the Sheriff himself. But here is the Number if you care to call them yourself. Hi my name is Mike Dolfin, I am the Northern Area Commander for The Nye County Sheriff’s Department. Larry if you can please call me at xxx-yyy-zzzz (phone number removed by moderator), I can explain to you what is happening with the State Highway department.

Feedback from the Sheriff's office in Nye County. Caching is ok with them and all come down and enjoy it. But.... and it is a big But. He said the NDOT has and will remove all the ones next to the highway as it has become a real problem and the Cachers are not following the rules. If the Caches are placed 100 yards off the road they have no problem's with that. They are going to start ticketing to those they Catch leaving a film canister anywhere near the road for littering. He is a Cacher himself and loves it but he also has to uphold the laws and safety of their County. He says please enjoy but follow all the laws of common sense.

This is from the Sheriff in Nye County and his responses to it. I wasn't aware of any Geocaching within Nye County over 99.9% of ET highway is in Lincoln County. I do know what Geocaching is however and understand it is popular. The highway dept. is a state agency. I will forward this to the north area commander to look into this on the Nye County side. I suggest that if you have Cache's in Lincoln County you should contact them as well. When I have additional information I will re-contact you. Looking at your message does give an indication that there was a safety issue concern. If you have any questions you may contact me. Regards Sent from the Mobile Office of Nye County Sheriff Tony DeMeo We will see what we can do to assist making sure you have a great event, Tony Sent from the Mobile Office of Nye County Sheriff Tony DeMeo

I doubt you will find a unit that fits all of your requirements. A smart phone with the correct combo of apps would probably do this for you, but I don't have any suggestions. (I have a regular old phone, a Streetpilot that won't charge, an eTrx Legend, and a computer to use). I know there is a unit that does it as I saw it work on a friends

I want a Garmin Nuvi that will show logs and hints on Caches and be able to log the find from the car. What one does this? Thanks

Wait I FOUND IT. Looked in the Envelope that it came in and a small scrap of paper inside was there so now I can activate it. Thanks for getting me to search some more.

No I still have the paper tag that the copy metal tag came in but as with my other TB's I got there is no activation code on it. I was able to activate my others but not the Car static cling one as there is no activation code anywhere to be found. Thanks for the suggestion though

I received my Static cling car TB with the extra Dog Tag. Problem is when I go to activate it in the trackables I find I have no Activation code on the copy tag or static cling or anywhere. what do I do. I am attending my first event this morning and wanted to have it on my car for a discovery. any help?

Thanks I have read that thanks for the answer

How long does it take for a Cache to be reviewed? Hid one two days ago and still in review.
