I'm an outdoor person who happens to cache. However, I love to use caching to discover new sights and places in areas I am not familiar with.

Thank you for the help.

I was shocked to see how short some forum members tempers are with others. As a famous philosopher once said - "can't we all just get along?" I am new to the sport and enjoy it more and more. I've always been a hiker/backpacker and lover of the undiscovered. Geocaching gives me the best of both of those worlds (both on the trail and in the city). My concern is that if members flame newbies, or anyone for that matter based on the perception of a "silly" question or that the question already exists in some buried thread people will stop asking questions. I hope that more experienced members will mentor new fans of the game so that they will grow and eventually ask some things that could stump all the OG's (original Geocachers). Anyway, I cannot wait to see how this game evolves. The possibilities are endless.

Question about logging a webcam; however I THINK I might already know the answer. I know that I can log it as found if I am the one in the picture, but can my team member log it as a found since they were part of the process and the find??? I'm thinking no, but I'd like clarification. Best wishes, OMS

Backpacker Magazine is very little more than an outdoor fashion rag w/ little information of any value to the backpacking community. Of course, if looking fabulous on the trail is of some importance to you then I would suggest this is the mag for you. As a FORMER subscriber I will continue to get my backpacking information from my own deep woods experience and chatting w/ those of us who love the sport and leave the the coffee table wisdom and GQ tips to the fine folks at Backpacker. By the way, is there anyone who works there that has EVER been to Pennsylvania or the east coast for that matter??? Perhaps they should send some writers to geocache along the Laurel Highland, West Rim, Loyalsock, etc. trails.
