    Harder to find cahces near your home location

    in General geocaching topics

    Posted

    If you go to your profile page, on the right hand side there is a heading called "Search Options" and directly under that is says "from your home location" and "filter out finds." You can clik on either of those and they work exactly as the old one on the Home Page used to.

     

    Yes I know but it was much simpler from the main page. Would it really be that hard to add this back to the main page? One click instead of having to go to my profile and then click on the search? Seems less convenient now don't you think?

     

    This only adds 1 click.

    Looks like I was just a little too slow.

    Yet another test!

    This is all pretty much 10 miles South of me. There are 16 in the same size map North of which I have found 1 thus far.

     

    Edit to add that I have solved most, if not all, of the unfound puzzles on this map. :blink:

    My favorite statistic

    Average words per log, which INATN used to do. I'm not as verbose as some, but that was one number I was proud of.

    I like that one too. mygeocachingprofile.com tracks it.

    I'd like that one, but can't seem to find the checkbox on mygeocachingprofile.com. Know where to find it to add it?

     

    Thanks

    You know what, interesting. I can't find it in the profile itself, but you can find your number on this sorted list:

     

    http://www.mygeocachingprofile.com/cacherr...gs.aspx?sort=10

     

    I'll email the folks who run the site and see if they can add it to the profile.

     

    Position #484 with 376 word average. Very cool. ;)

    Find #100

    in General geocaching topics

    I'm hoping to get #100 this weekend. I'm at 95 now, so shouldn't be too difficult. The one I have planned was placed in June 2009 and has only 3 finds, the last one being August 2009. I finally solved the puzzle Tuesday night. :yikes: I enjoy finding puzzle caches that haven't been found/solved in a very long time, so making one #100 seemed perfect. :huh:

    Like I said before, I'm horrible at solving puzzles. I threw this one together on a bit of a whim. I'm hoping that you guys aren't looking and saying "this thing is horrible. bad puzzle." If'n that's what you're sayin, please let me know, I want this to be a fun puzzle for people to solve. Difficult is okay, crummy puzzle is not.

     

    :rolleyes:

     

    I'm still a noobie, but I do enjoy doing puzzles. I have 30 puzzles solved thus far with 21 of of them actually found. My only hide is a puzzle as well. This is the first story type puzzle, so I really have no idea where to start, or what to do. I'd like to be able to solve it, but at the moment I'm lost. It could be fun if I knew how to do this style of puzzle.

     

    So, I cannot make any statements as to its difficulty vs. crummy rating. :)

    Insufficient data for someone like myself, who is dumber than a bag of hammers.

    Perhaps you would be willing to fill in the blanks?

    Since Greg is a friend, is it safe to say the geocache factory is in California?

    If so, it's likely that the stick stacker in question is made by Carbotech. They pretty much own the market there.

    Was it a single or tandem stacker? Hydraulic or electric elevator? Auto paper feed? Foot pedal?

    Help a brother out! :rolleyes:

    This is why I can't solve these puzzles. I never know the right questions to ask.

     

    I never seem to get a response to "What are the real coordinates?"

    But we are going to do this one - GC19B2K Lampskirt Roulette

     

    When you find the cache in the parking lot, you move it to a different lamp skirt. So you really have no clue where its at.

     

    Now I just don't see the attraction to this one. All you are doing is running around a parking lot. What is fun about that?

     

    The fun comes from trying to dodge the parked cars! They're sneaky and can come out of nowhere if you're not careful!

    Ok, emails sent.

     

    Thanks!

     

    Thanks for the pic reference... that worked for me. I sent a pic of my 'solution' attached to my email with comments... Hope I got it correct... a good average difficulty I'd say... suitable for most finders.

    Enough thought and work to make it interesting but not overwhelming... hope the hide is the same...

    Of course this assumes I got it correct...

    Your solution was perfect!

     

    Thanks!
