Cool pic! Here in the South, we call that "drafting." Another event tomorrow.

Gee, wouldn't it be cool if a bunch of cachers gathered in LA to see him arrive home? Banners, flowers, balloons, confetti . . . . [edited to clarify: LA = Louisiana, not Los Angeles or Lower Alabama . . ]

I want it too. If the system can tell me how many people are watching, it can also tell ME who they are. This isn't rocket science. Even GWB can understand it.

Yep. And if you want to post a Locationless, I'm sorry, a Lame cache, you might see it go up a tick.

Welcome aboard! Come join us next month near Lake Lanier. (You can find the link on the event calendar.) Let us know if there's anything we can do for ya!

RC: Yep, something like that. I'm no graphic artist, but here's what I came up with on the fly. It looks sorta like a scorpion - sigh.

After a couple/three DNFs a log by the owner that the cache is OK would be very helpful to others. For instance, here's one of my caches that I did maintenance on yesterday. From the logs, I'd say my note was useful. I see your point about a Needs Maintenance flag, but an email to the owner or a note log should suffice. If the owner doesn't respond, then an email to TPTB should get the ball rolling towards a fix. What you're asking for will require the owner to respond to your concerns. While I do listen to cachers concerning my caches, I'm only required to respond to TPTB. Anything else is just a suggestion.

Yeah, that's already been suggested a few times. Thanks for the "Markwell." I did a quick search but came up with nada. Still, it would be a cool feature. And so . . .

Torry said: A National Lampoon reference. Cool! I too haven't a clue as to what the problem is. And, I read all your posts. Out with it!

I periodically perform maintenance on my caches. On average every three months, or after a Not Found or two. When I do that, I post a note on the cache page to let folks know that the cache is good to go, or of any problems with the cache. I suggest that a new category of log be available to cache owners only. A "cache maintence" log with a little wrench to indicate that maintenance has been performed. Nothing Earth shaking, just a little enhancement to the game, imho.

Here's a new one. If the one that was there previously is anything to judge by, this one should be awesome! Enjoy!

OK, so if I don't like your rating and delete your log, what then? Nah, let's not do this.

I've put together an information page of the six venomous snakes found in Georgia. Might come in handy for y'all. There's also my Snake in the Cache for more info.

Some stats serve a purpose, some don't. Most don't. I see the argument that stats should be visible because others like to read the posts, see the issues, see where they stand, etc. I've said it before and I still think that each user should have the option of hiding his/her stats from prying eyes. My stats are my business, not yours. I log all events, virtuals, locationless, that I do or find. It's rather tough to score a virtual or locationless without a log, and folks saw me at the events. Regular caches, however, are another story. I only occasionally, at my whim, post an online log for standard caches. Otherwise I don't post an online log or note if the cache is just fine and active; I just sign the log book. If there are issues with the cache, I email the owner. I'll post a DNF for some caches I've given up on, otherwise it's anyone's guess what my numbers are. Don't like it? Ah, well.

Bump!

Don't worry about what them Yankees are doing, come South and score a smiley or ten. GGA CITO

This just in! There's going to be a premeeting geomunch at a restaurant that is known for it's owls . . . and chicken wings.

Come join us for comraderie and fun! Visit a city with lots of history and bunches of caches and share and gather good geoinformation at the same time. The Georgia Geocachers Association is holding it's March Meeting on March 13th in Macon, Georgia. We're still building the agenda, but it portends to be an informative and good time!

Oh, puleeeze!

I too would like to know who the watchers are, but ain't gonna get all heated up about it. Here's my .02 Let's say a cache is placed in a prohibited area. Let's say the area's authorities find out about it by visiting the GC.com website. Let's say the cache is archived. Let's say the area's authorities keep watch to make sure it's not still being logged or reactivated. Oh! Hi, Big Brother? How ya doing? Huh, don't hit enter? What . . . . .

OK, got it! The flash kinda whited out the latitude, but it is the one I mentioned above. Right click and "save target as" to snag the shots. GPSR shot. Sorry about the white out. New housing area nearby. This area is near the Atlanta Motor Speedway, about 2 miles. Enjoy!

I can get the pic you need at 33 22.057 + your longitude. That's only about 9 miles from me and I can get you a pic tomorrow. Sound good?

You can also go directly to PayPal and check your account settings. On mine, Groundpeak is listed under "subscriptions" along with the date it will kick in.

Got my email today with a heads up from Groundspeak about the annual renewal of my membership. Unlike last year when it kinda came as a surprise, it was nice to hear about it in advance. Thanks bunches, guys! (How'd I do on the suckup meter?)
