  1. I had to give up on Pier Pressure and ask where it was. Way over my skill level at the time, and a very hard cache.
  2. c:geo is the best geocaching Android app. You can download GPS Status & Toolbox to see if that helps your GPS issues. Many HTC Thunderbolt users have had good luck with it.
  3. Munzees lack creativity? One on my favorite things about geocaching is writing logs. I love the quick logging of the Munzee too though.
  4. Send an email to your local reviewer. Most likely they know. My reviewers knows all about what is required, who to contact, and if permits are required.
  5. A lot of mine are highlighted and I'm happy about that! I have regular sized T 1.5-2.5 and D 1.5 mostly.
  6. I see your point, and agree that we have instincts too. I always freeze when a dog is near so I'd probably get hurt. Two of my neighbors have big dogs. Two pitbulls and one I don't know the breed but it's huge and used to run at me barking. I finally couldn't take it anymore and I cursed at the owners to control their $?@*## dog. I never curse, ever. They now have a dog fence.
  7. What a strange encounter! I see parents out playing with their kids and I don't think twice!
  8. How do I view the caches rated as beginner in my area? I hope mine are listed!
  9. I do, and I know lots of other people who do also. So as far as I'm concerned, "boat required" is quite accurate for canoe/kayak caches where larger boats wouldn't work. But maybe that's because I'm not a native speaker of English, and in German the distinction between boat and ship is quite clear. I never understood those frequent silly dialogues in movies, where one person says "that's a big boat" and the other replies "it's not a boat, it's a ship" or something along those lines. Sounds like there could be a common misconception in English. Das Boot! Please stop following me into threads and posting nonsense. I've reported you to the Mods.
  10. I understand that. I know I can call my canoe a boat and it would fine. I'm just talking about having more specific attributes. Ie Tree climbing attribute as opposed to a mountain climbing one. Maybe we don't need that. But I would have found is useful on a few T5 "boating" caches here that aren't suitable for my canoe. I wasn't trying to say a canoe isn't a boat. It was kind of twisted around that way by another poster. My point was in favor of more specific attributes such as tree climbing.
  11. Great picture! I'm sure more attributes like tree climbing will be added in the future.
  12. All kayaks are boats. Not all boats are kayaks, though. Ditto for canoes. Lol, true. But not all boats can get to all "boats required" caches.
  13. I suppose it is regional. Here we have the gulf, intercoastal, mangroves, lakes, ponds, canals. My mom and I fell out of our canoe after it was rocked by boat wake and swamped. It was in a pass and there were strong currents. It was my fault because I'm new to the water. I saw other boats...real boats...all around but didn't think much of it. We had to be rescued, and it was scary for a minute. I got the caches. Also got lectured about taking a canoe out in rough boating waters. Falling out of canoe cache log
  14. Eclectic Penguin's been around long enough to know that. Wow, so one is a sock puppet from 2008? And the real guy is from 2005? I don't get it.
  15. I do, and I know lots of other people who do also. So as far as I'm concerned, "boat required" is quite accurate for canoe/kayak caches where larger boats wouldn't work. But you wouldn't know if a larger boat, or kayak was required by the attribute. It has to be written in the cache page. This makes it harder to search for kayak only caches by attribute. I ran a PQ of boat required aches and I couldn't do many of them. Because I don't have a boat. I don't tell people, "I have a boat." I say I have a kayak.
  16. I'm not stalking you. You seem to be spamming the forums with useless quips and talk about new words. As as I figure out how, you'll be on ignore.
  17. Neat! I hope they add a kayak/canoe one too. I'm going to place a cache that requires those, but boats will be too big. Canoes and kayaks are boats. There's caches here that require a kayak or canoe, because the water is too shallow for a boat. There are some caches that need a boat because the water is too rough, and distance too far, for a kayak. I never refer to my canoe as a boat. Lol.
  18. I am presuming that you are speaking of road kill that has been there who knows how long before you passed? Perhaps you should set yourself up to get sprayed by a skunk. When you are finished with the hours of retching and barfing, then come and tell us it isn't that bad. A whiff of the old and a douse of the fresh is two entirely different things! It's funny, 'cuz dogs, horses, cattle and even bears run from skunk perfume. I've been sprayed twice. I grew up in rural Pennsylvania, in the woods in a log cabin. Not so bad.
  19. Neat! I hope they add a kayak/canoe one too. I'm going to place a cache that requires those, but boats will be too big. Good news on the tree attribute. Although, won't that give the hide away?
  20. Is there a reason why every thread GC addicted posts in goes way OT and its locked? Also, you'll need to request a name change to jeek_addicted. Until you do that, I question your commitment to your jeek revolution.
  21. Yeah, I actually didn't notice the two names were different. Report that to a mod and they can fix it.
