Its not a matter of holding back but rather being considerate of fellow cachers.
How is it inconsiderate? We all get the info at the same time.
There is a parking spot at my work thats the best parking spot. The same guy gets it every single day. Why? Because he gets there before the rest of us, even though we start at the same time. I could get up earlier to get the spot. Just like you could get to a cache earlier than the next guy to score a FTF.
-
I think you care too much about getting a FTF.

I have no clue, the acronym finder comes up with these though:
MAIT Manufacturers' Association for Information Technology (India)
MAIT Multidisciplinary Accident Investigation Team (CHP Investigative team assigned to multi-fatality or complex collisions)
MAIT Major Accident Investigation Team
MAIT Maintenance Assistance & Instruction Team
MAIT Martial Arts Instructor/Trainer (US DoD)
MAIT McCabe's Artificially Intelligent Tipper (sports tipping system)
MAIT Mission Area Integration Team
MAIT Major Area Integration Team
MAIT Maharaja Agresen Institute of Technology
And that doesnt really help.

You forgot to pack some Guinness.

111 per week i can handle. makes mathmatical sense. but 100 per DAY average i cant get my head around. maybe they own a time warp i dont know about lol. this person seems to have quite a bit of respect in the area so thats why i thought i must be missing something.
Nobody has 100 find per day average. The top finder as he said has a 15 per day average.
-
I call those people lucky. And I dont doubt them. We are still new and the most we have found is 10 in one day. It took us 4 hours to do so.
I bet in a year from now those 10 would take us an hour to do.

People trying to drop-off TBs care a lot about the SIZE of the CONTAINER.
Hiding a nano in the hull of the Queen Mary doesn't make it a LARGE cache. (it would make it a LARGE PITA, though!)
We went to that park just to drop of a TB in that picture above. I thought this would be a perfect cache by the description. No biggie though because the park had one other regular size cache.
Love the example though.
-
We recently found this cache. It was in a very hidden part of a park. It was labeled as a regular size cache.
Yes that a film can in that hollowed out log. You could probably fit a small jar in there. But there was only room for a log in that.
We were kinda bummed. But the trip was fun.
edit: holy huge picture batman. Sorry.

I noticed this when I was at Costco the other day. Right next to the 55 gallon jar of mayonaise was a huge box of geocache coordinates.

Another point I'm trying to make is my leeriness of the mass marketing of our hobby to just anyone. I liked it better when it was a semi secret nerd sport that you got into by being invited by another geocacher which is how I heard about it. Also the equipment costs and the knowledge needed to use it kept a lot of people out that might prove to be a problem. Now I see those preloaded GPSs for sale everywhere even at the swap meets. Anyone with $10 can download an I Phone app. A lot of the homeless in my neighborhood have I Phones and I Pods now surprisingly. I'm not bagging on the homeless I may me in that predicament too here shortly but that is an example of how easily anyone can get into our hobby and of coarse that opens the door for problems. More is usually not the merrier.
Talk about Elitism. Thats one thing I like about geocaching, ANYBODY can do it. If you have a GPS and some gas, its pretty much free. I tell as many people as I can about geocaching. Hoping that they will play the game too.
I really dont get this viewpoint.

Simpsons did it.

Id honestly just write a note and move on. Its just a smily. The important part is the experience. So share it in a note.
-
Edit: Sorry, totally wrong forum.
-
I heard there is one on the space station that hasnt been logged yet.
Get going!
-
What time does the cemetary close? The one next door to my apartment complex is still open when the sun goes down but closes at 9:00.
So somebody could find the cache that was placed there (in bad taste) at night, during buisness hours.
-
So what's a micro.. a cache of what ?
Its a cache that contains "etc."
IE: a log.
-
Small caches seem to be our favorite. Followed by regular.
-
What I hate about buisness cards the most is that guy that forces you to read them whenever you find them in a cache. It wouldnt bother me if I could just push them to the side when looking at the other swag. But no....hes always there, making me read them.
-
Im still very knew, and im trying to figure out what aspects of the game I dont know about, and ive only gone to this site.
I did see a locked pathtag thread, and learned about those. And that really doesnt effect the game at all.
So what are we not going to learn from this site?
-
We were looking for a cache that was on a corner of a street, right infront of a statue/fountian. There was somebody that was going to take a left right infront of us. This person sat there for 3 lights and didnt move. Finally on the fourth one another person pulled up behind them and honked for them to go. It took a good 10 minutes.
Your story reminds me when I was at the store yesterday waiting for 5 minutes for a lady and her three kids to move over so I could get some blue cheese. She looked at me atleast 3 times while she was deciding what kind of chedder she wanted. Evertime there was a gap and I went foward, one of her kids would walk infront of me. I wanted to scream at her.
Next time somebody gives you crap about your dog, just yell "SICK 'EM"
i kidd i kidd.

Sock puppet anybody? (not refering to any poster!)
edit: I got ninja'd, somebody respond to the broken rubber band.

I agree with this: TO CLAIM A SMILEY YOU MUST SIGN THE LOG. And I'm sick of getting logs that are just :TFTC...
Im sick of long drawn out logs with multiple smilys and different colors that end up on my GPS when I paperless cache.
Id rather have a TFTC than one of those.
To each thier own.
-
Thats just fine. You didnt claim FTF's. Some people call it FTL (first to log). Nothing you did was wrong, and you shouldnt have been given any guff.
-
I dont know why the lady even asked if you were there since you clearly found caches posted that day. 1+1=2. You didnt claim any FTF's, you just posted logs before everybody else.
I personally would just ignore every event they throw and forget about the whole situation. As long as you had a good time finding the caches you did find then you accomplished what you wanted to do.
do people just not get it

I found Obamas birth certificate in a cache today, can I include that in my log?
