    Challenges: Now that they are released

    in General geocaching topics

    Heh.

     

    I posted a local challenge, and it's kind of going ... out of control. It's international already.

     

    It'll be fun to see where this goes...

    That is really sad! A reasonable good example of a challange, and people from all over log it without meeting the requirements. And when you try to report the cheeting, the only option is to flag it as "Prohibited" "Offencive" or "SPAM". Maybe you should flag all the fakes "Prohibited". In this situation, what does Prohibited mean?

    Forbidden from doing. In the case of false claims of challenges being met I would think that that should be appropriate to use though there should be a more descriptive flag.

    Note I said should, I don't think that GS ultimately cares or they would have given the issuers the ability to remove false claims.

     

    I did use the Flag selecting "Spam" on the 2 bogus completes on that challenge yesterday. They're still there, so not sure what flagging them does.

    Other geocachers are ruining geocaching for me

    Canada is a big state, with many different cities, and many different communities.

     

    Ahem....Canada is a country, eh. :rolleyes:

     

    And you don't need a Premium Membership to find out about events. You only need to subscribe to the weekly Groundspeak newsletter.

     

    Or...when you're logged in, check out the "newest caches in Ontario" in your profile that will let you know all the newest listings of caches and events.

    Opps, I forgot about those methods. I prefer a visual. 50 miles away down I-95 is one thing, 50 miles through the New Jersey forest backroads is another beast entirely.

     

    I thought Canada was part of the U.S. though... Why do they have teams on the American leagues for Soccer, Baseball, Basketball and Ice Hokey?

    First off bad joke.I see Canada almost every day from this side of the Niagara River. Second like the GREAT Don Cherry said "soccer is a sport with out honor" third Im not sure what Ice Hokey is :blink:

     

    It's when you Do the Hokey Pokey on ice!

    Targeting specific caches for milestones

    in General geocaching topics

    For my first milestone, #100, I targetted a puzzle cache, "ILLAMPU AARDVARK",that had only 3 finds to date and had not been found in over a year. We had found a couple caches in town that day, then headed out to the counrty where this one was, then back in to town for some more, making sure it was indeed #100. I was the 4th find and it hasn't been found since. I haven't decided what my #200 will be yet, but will most likely be somthing similiar.

    On your first ever cache hidden.....

    FTF!!! at about 2:37pm. I came across this cache looking for unfound caches. So I thought I'd give it a go. It only took me about 5 minutes to figure out how to solve it and another 5 to have 2 possible answers. A few minutes later with the help of google maps I had my most likely choice. I definately came in the longer and more difficult way. I should have taken a better look for parking. Got to GZ and then took about 15 minutes to find. Cache is well hidden. Thank you so much for the very generous FTF prize. Found a golf ball on the way in to the cache and was able to leave it in the cache. TFTH and the wonderful puzzle to solve.

     

    This is on my only cache thus far and still only has 7 finds total. Took 3 days to get a FTF. I was happy it was found and surprised as this was not who I was expecting to get the FTF.
