Ok, I'll bite, this would be unacceptable as the cache placement guidelines do not permit caches which deface public or private property.

Even better, why not remove the limit entirely until the entire area crunches underfoot.

Since the actual location of puzzle caches is available as an additional waypoint why is this not used for trackable distance calculations. This would allow the declared co-ordinates to be as bogus as the puzzle setter requires them to be.

I own a 60CSX and am very happy with it's ability to maintain a good signal under dense tree cover. It has to be said however that it is not a paperless unit and a separate device (e.g PDA) is required if you want to do that.

Why not start with a transparent cover material, mask off a few areas, and then use an abrasive to make the rest of the cover opaque. This would leave a few small clear windows giving a tantalising glimpse of the nano as it makes its way through the maze without you having to provide the whole solution.

The Garmin Etrex H is equipped with a serial interface and it's cable was intended to be connected to a 9 PIN socket on the PC. However it has been years since PCs were equipped with that type of communications hardware and so what you need instead is a serial to USB converter. The 15 pin connector on most PCs is used to connect an external display which may be why your PC screen is changing when you connect to it. It's probably best not to make that connection again until you've confirmed what each socket is for.

The problem seems to be that finding caches is the one thing that is not supposed to happen at an avent. Although originally envisaged as a small social gathering lasting perhaps a few hours, they have become all day or even multiple day cache finding extravaganzas which are "ligitimised" by including the mandatory gathering almost as an afterthought. A moritorium on the release of new caches within 5 days and 20 miles of the event would solve the problem.

The presence of PMO caches in a query result is controlled by the "Are available to all users" check box. Checking this box causes PMO caches to be omitted from the results.

Whta you are suggesting existed in the past under the name "password cache" but is a cache type that is no longer permitted.

With the local police displaying the common sense of Chicken Licken and the press no doubt baying for blood it would be a brave individual indeed who stuck his head over the parapet.

Never set them, never use them. If there's something special or dangerous about the location I include it in the description.

There's only one logical date, May 1, the anniversary of the decision that made geocaching possible.

A cache is highly likely to be rejected as commercial if it is necessary for cachers to interact with the employees of a business.

It's disgusting and they should all be banned.

In this weeks weekly update e-mail. "Give Dad the Gift of Geocaching with the Magellan® eXplorist® GC:..." Previously Groundspeak used the first part of the weekly update message to advertise their own services, which I could just about tolerate. Now they seem to be selling the advertising space to third parties. One of the benefits of premium membership (no advertising) is being eroded so why continue to pay?

I smell an agenda.

No it's not, inaccuracy in GPS readings will still put the wall in jepordy.

If you're setting a series it's a good idea to create cache pages for all of them now, The pages need to have the intended location but the rest can be titivated later. Most importantly, remember to select the "not active"option and then contact your local reveiwer and ask them to check the locations. By doing this you give the reviewer advance notice of your intentions and they can warn you of reasons why that apparently lovely empty location you need isn't allowable. before you've invested too much time and effort.

I'll archive my current caches and stop hiding when forced to accept blank logs.

Really? Wind in space? You're an American. I can tell. What complete and utter rubbish, the out of position satelites are nudged back into place by giant turtles.

From the moment I launch a traveller I consider it to be lost. After that every log is a bonus.

I have a series of caches placed at the remains of a line of defensive fortifications built in 1941 in anticipation of a German invasion. One of the sites is an active cemetery where horizontal slots were cut into the boundary wall to create a machine gun firing position which still exists today. However I placed the cache outside the cemetary so that it could be found without disturbing the bereaved.

I've had TBs that went missing from the cache in which I launched them and others that made multiple ocean crossings lasting years and travelling tens of thousands of miles. Unfortunately in the end they all go missing.
