This is my first pocket query attempt. I saw that it was created, 226 to be exact. Never got the email. Tried doing 50 thinking maybe the email was too big...never got the email...has been a couple hrs since either...Ok now you can tell me what kind of idiot I am.

Yeah...but why don't you focus more on quality...like something that can fit trade items and travelers. I don't usually say so, but goin hog wild with micros is the ruination of the game. Thanks for the help. I just love it when I visit an area abd I can't find a regular Ccahe within 2 moles of where I am. My mom was visiting from TN and I couldn't even take her when we went to visit her mom, bacause all there were was Micros. Great Job. I plan to change my first geocache to a giant cache, a 5 gallon bucket! loaded with goodies.

, (Gaia save us from obliviots who leave bubble liquid in caches), the key word to my rant, once again, is "must". With my hides, I leave the log in a freezer quality ziplock because I want to, not because I "need" to. A difference that may be too subtle for some. If I "had" to leave the logs in a ziplock, that would demonstrate, to me, that my container choice really sucked. Someone put a small bottle of hand sanitizer in one of my caches, and it blew the bottle apart from the heat. At least the contents were "sanitary".

I'm not sure if you are missing the point or artfully dodging it. The point of my rant is to not use crappy containers. Ever. Crappy containers are the ones that require the use of a ziplock to protect the log. If you are going through a container selection process, and you start leaning toward "It'll be OK. I'll use a ziplock to keep the log dry", your container most likely fits firmly in the crappy column. If, during that same selection process, your thoughts are more along the lines of, "I could drive over this cache with an M-1 tank, then sink it to the bottom of the ocean, and the log will be fine, but I'll put it in a ziplock just in case", then you probably have a good cache container. incase u havent noticed,,,most caches fit your crappy description. here we have had 80+ humidity, easily attained due point. even the local pros have damp stuff in water tight containers. I found 4 today in waterproof match containers, with water in them, no zip loc on the log...THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH OVER PROTECTION.Unless you like to do a lot of maintenance.

One of my favorite rants: "If you must use a ziplock to keep your log dry, your container has already failed at a very basic level" ive seen ammo cans where the logbook is in a ziplock baggie Most of my hides are ammo cans. All use ziplocks as a secondary layer of protection. The key word to my earlier rant is "must". Yes its a secondard protection method. I wouldnt put one where it would be under water or something nuts like that. Yes I have 2 ammo cans, havent used them yet..I am more of the urban cacher than the woods guy. I do not like poison ivy. But I brave it, and try o stay out of it. About the zip loc bags...hasn't anyone heard of condensation? it happens to waterproof cans too! Nothing wrong with keeping a log as dry as possible.

They are plastic, I wash them out, paint them, and the log is in a zip loc bag inside. They seem to be water resistant, and the magnets will work thru the lids. Stick great. I prefer the plastic lids...but

Yes. Stark raving bonkers. Sorry. There is no cure. But at least you'll have company! Yes people enjoy them as I have a knack for this and what to call them. I bring people to places they didnt know was there. No complaints yet. I am enjoying this but once I reach 100 caches hid, im stopping the hiding! maintaining 100 is plenty of work. here is one of my funniest hides.. Elk Crossing Its a bolt cache on a sign at an Elk's lodge. Their sign was about to fall off, so I fixed it with one of my sneaky bolt caches.

I started this 2 months or so ago, Found 90 caches. During that time I decided I was going to hide one cache for every one I find up to the first 100. I have hid about 60 so far. I do know where not to hide, how far apart, and all that stuff. They are scattered at about a 30 mile radius of my home, at places I routinely go. I just feel the area was stagnant and needed some fresh finds. I have gone ball out with this... Micro aluminum pill bottle caches, small caches, caches inside magnetic bolts, caches inside bolts mounted to sign posts, small tiny vials in holes, hidden tobacco cans with magnets, waterproof match containers, the blank outlet box cover trick, Im getting just downright evil with some of my placements. Am I nuts? I just feel like giving back to the sport in appreciation for my new obsession.

Thanks. I bought her a Magellan 400 something...but then afterward I read some reviews. It works fine so far, but I read a lot of people having problems with it. It seems to hold the signal more accurately then my Eagle Explorer.

My wife wants one, and our anniversary is Saturday.....So I want to get her this. Does it display or have a mode to display coordinates such as N 41 20.874 W 89 17.030?
