As in this case the cacher found a magnet which was originally attached to the container, so they were at GZ and could have easily signed it if the cache hadn't been destroyed. I would have let the cacher have the find. How can you seriously say "thanks for telling me it's gone, and although I can't verify anyone else's logs, I'm going to delete your smiley as you told me the log wasn't there to sign". The finder could easily have kept stum and simply said "tftc". Instead they did something more useful (which some of the previous finders may not have done). No good deed....

Talk about hitting the nail on the head! Great post! OP, claim your smiley!

You could contact the C/O and explain politely the situation. They may be willing to move or archive it. But tbh, I'd just start looking for an another location. The same problem happened to me twice, and both times I ended up finding a more scenic spot to place the caches.

Is it a new cacher / have they changed their username? Personally I wouldn't bother deleting logs as not everyone signs the log book. I know I didn't for the first ~ 50 finds (thought the logbook was to note your experience and online was its equivalent, i.e. use either). I then started signing and changed my username!

You don't have to favourite every cache on the series. If I've done a good circular, I'll favourite the last or bonus cache of the series, and add some favourite points to the interesting caches of the trail. It's what people seem to do after they've finished mine anyway

Coming soon at shoot.Groundspeak.com: Hahaha!! Reminds me of the Geocaching article on Uncyclopedia... Anyway... 1) Pen 2) Tweezers 3) Signature Stamper 4) Water 5) Pocket Torch 6) Small trinkets and I tend not to carry anything else (apart from GPS / Phone, and the charger if I'm doing a lot of caches)

This. I always compare my garmin 60csx and iPhone, and they are very, very often close. Mind sharing the brand? I carry 2 spare batts and they each charge the iPhone up once per charge. "Veho VCC-A007-PBP Pebble 5000mAH Portable Battery Pack Charger for iPod, iPhone, Mobile Phones and PSP" available on Amazon uk for £17.99. Tends to get about 4 recharges before I need to recharge the battery! Also comes with a set of adapters for various phones

I previously used an external GPS plus jailbroken iPod touch. Now I just use my iPhone and spent £20 on an excellent external battery which can fully recharge it four/five times. Very convenient, can have the www at the fingertips / any maps / check cache page / store as many caches as I want etc. I've also noticed very little difference in accuracy - about 5-10 metres depending on tree cover. Plus it means I can cache when I feel like it, rather than having to carry something extra around with me. Is the extra money worth it for a handheld GPS - imo, no.

Yeah, it's a good idea. Here's . And multi.

^ That! Urban - tolerable, Forest - no excuses.No excuses? FWIW, one of my Favorites is a micro in the woods. Yes, it's a film canister. No, a larger container would not work. And again, I know people who hide smaller containers in remote locations simply because the don't want to haul an ammo can that far. Instead of a single ammo can, they can carry multiple smaller containers, an extra bottle of water, a couple energy bars, and some emergency supplies. As long as the container is waterproof and big enough to hold a log that can last a few years, they're happy. If a larger container wouldn't work / fit / whatever at the cache location, then fair enough, don't have an issue with that. On the other hand, if it's placed slap bang in the middle of a wood with many hiding places in trees, next to trees, under fallen down tree, maybe even a make a fake tree! etc. and it turns out to be a film cannister with a scrap of paper, then it seems like the cache placer has taken the cheap option, imo. I can see where you're coming from, but I'm still in the early stages of caching - so enjoy finding all the swag, even "junk" inside a cache - makes it more interesting. To end up with a film cannister containing a scrap of paper, when there are numerous places to hide (even small!) boxes of trinkets, is pretty disappointing!

I always log DNF's. For me, it means I can keep track of caches which I've attempted, and also see if anyone finds it after me then I'll go back and try again. For the owner, if there's several DNF then it can make them aware of a possible problem with the cache.

Yoohoo :-) I don't think it is possible at the moment, ... OK ignore that, and try this: Geocaching.com - Image map scale Works for me Great!

http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/125926 This one seems to work with Chrome. Works in Chrome, but not getting the map options with it. The firefox one seems to be the best atm. EDIT: Correction, map options working fine, but if you're from the UK and using the Ordnance Survey extension, you'll need to disable it first.

Thanks for taking the time to make this extension, working great!

EXCELLENT!! As for the amount of requests made to Google, it's been said before, but wouldn't making Google Maps a premium only feature reduce them enough?

Tried the new Aerial view, and after 5 minutes, still have a lovely white screen. Useless.

Yes! I'm guessing that we've got more "Premium" members than standard ones. Could Google Maps not have been made a premium only feature?

Terrible news. Watched a fair number of his videos on Youtube, which gave me the urge to create some "not just another piece of tupperware" caches. His contribution to the Geocaching community will be missed, and my thoughts and sympathies are with his family and friends at this time. Tragic.

Good!
