I don't understand the point of the OP. Is there something that geo.com could do to change the evolution of geocaching? If so, what exactly is it? I don't see how making complicated caches easier to publish or not publishing easy caches is going to solve the changing landscape of the average cacher. Geocachers have different reasons for playing the game and they don't all match that of the OP. For instance I think of my one and only hide; it's a puzzle with the cache located in a nice park with miles of trails that has been out for 2 months and has 3 find logs. Of the 3 two were father and son, and the third solved the puzzle with the father but was unable to make the find on the same day so did so a month latter. In contrast I look at a LP posted not long ago in a parking lot with 2 other micros in the same parking lot and find within an hour of posting there 10+ finds and they are all meeting at the cache for chat while watching the others arrive. So it appears there are a lot more cachers interested in the social aspect of caching rather than the challenging aspect and nothing in the OP would change that.

ROFL!! Dude.... Dude...!! This is a little old lady living out in the countryside on her farm in California. (well, I am imagining the little and old part). I don't think that standing up to her is going to change much in regard to terrorism or the country's attitude towards it. Relax a little. Sheesh!! afraid of a little old lady eh? roflmaoaypb

But, you're the one being a bully. She is in her part of the world and we're intruding on her. She feels threatened and intimidated and you're re-enforcing that behavior. One mans freedom fighter is another mans terrorist. Her part of the world? She owns all the public land within driving distance and is allowed to threaten strangers who have done nothing wrong because she may or may not be afraid of some non-existant threat and you call the cachers bullies? When did walking on a public road become an act of bullying? The only bully I see is a woman who drives her car up to strangers on the road and threatens them with having a gun because they are within some unknown proximity to her property and you want to re-enforce this behaviour by running and hiding and giving her everything she wants. What will she decide she wants next, who will she threaten with her gun next? Wake up.

If you live your life in fear; the terrorists have won. If you allow yourself to be bullied; the bullies will continue to bully others. Someone has to stand up to this behaviour before freedom is a just a slogan and a memory. IMO

I used to enjoy the occasional electricution but I haven't been to that health spa for quite some time and the sleeves on the white jackets were always too long. I may have to check out some of these lamp posts.

I use pocket querries for routes but I don't download the entire query into my GPSr. Instead I go through them and select which we will attempt and in what order. My family has certain types of caches they like to go after so depending on who is going on that day, I will decide which ones we will go after as well as removing those they look to be missing or too difficult for the kids to attempt. then I download the selected caches and write out the clues and any other important information because I can't download all of that into my GPSr. I probably spend as much time as the OP but I enjoy that part of as well.

I don't think I will get to any geocaches this weekend. I'm only 3 away from 100 and I was hoping to find #300 on easter but it looks like it won't happen.

If there is no competition, then why do people call it a "sport"? Maybe we need to call it a "leisure activity" so people don’t get confused.

this will be my last post for the day and I'm sorry about my last post, the cake is not a lie, it's real but I ate it.

Lucky me a cointest I can enter. I'm Lucky, a Basset Hound, and I'm lucky because I'm lucky. Lucky for me I saw my friend's password under the post it on the back of the picture of his wife. Lucky for me I found the candy in the bottom drawer of his desk. Lucky for me he stepped out so I could enter this contest, wait...is that a car...is he home...no, lucky for me it's the mailman; gotta go woof woof woof

the cake is a lie.

Besides geocaching, I also love soccer and I try to find caches near soccer fields my daughter is playing on. Going to a practice with a new team tonite and there is a cache at the field so will try to make the find while she is practicing. I wonder if MLS teams would make geocoins to sell; of the 36,000 fans at every Seattle Sounders game there must be a least a few hundred cachers who would buy coins.

The newbie's story: I have one geocoin, an event coin that came with the geocache starter kit, although I am adopting a second one so I will have two once it is placed. I hid my first cache but it has only been found by one person and his son so I guess you could say two people. They took the coin and took it to an event which I think is cool and passed it to another cacher at the event and that cacher still has it. I'm 4 caches away from 100 finds. That is it. All you chachers with thousands of finds and hundreds of coins amaze me. Thanks for the cointest. k

+1 well said, that is my fav right there.

Hard as Nails - it's found in the nail polish area but is a clear cement nail coating, I use it on my fishing flys. I would place it on the seam and then seal it.

Here is my attempt with paw prints on the beach. Several tries to get this posted, the picture systems just don't like me. k

I was going to try this but can't get the images to post, don't know why it doesn't work for me. k

I live just south of Seattle and it's a great place to live because: 1. There are a wide variety of natural areas close by including oceans, lakes, mountains, and rivers with lots of wooded areas and parks to meet anyones outdoor needs. 2. Lots of various businesses and corporate headquarters for employment such as Microsoft, Starbucks, Nordstrom, Costco, and Boeing. 3. The weather is moderate so not too hot in the summer and not too cold in the winter. 4. It's a bus ride away from the lilypad.

soon geocaching will break into different factions with the devout traditionalist who claim to be the true geochachers in the woods with their ammocans telling all other geocachers to give up their cheating ways because they will never find geonirvana if they don't cache the one true way and the new open cachers who accept everyone and all cache types regardless of how they choose to cache, they will be called the neogeocachers. they will protest at each other's events and file lawsuits to remove smiley's; it will be just like the real world, won't that be fun.

why does anyone care if someone wants to claim a find as payment for an event? I wouldn't do it because I want to actually find caches, not pretend to find them, but I am only doing this activity for myself so I don't care what other people think of the way I play.

Adoption complete; Thanks Penny & Kona for sending this coin out!

"Campus Highlighter III" because there can be only one.
