I see. Good thing I found the feature then!

Why don't you look for it before you bring your kids, just to make sure the cache is there? Also, kind of a weird question, but are you sure you activated the GPS mode on your android device? I would go for a regular cache with some stuff in it, that'll get the kids excited and happy about the experience. Also, an experience like the one you had could teach them that famous saying : it's the journey not the arrival that matters.

23, no kids, student. Yuuuuuuup.

Hello, I used the search bar for this topic but didn't come across anything about this issue. I was wondering why the "Add as a friend" feature is disabled by default on profiles? The menus are kind of confusing and it took me a while to find it. Had to e-mail my friends to tell them about it because they didn't find it by themselves. It's not very intuitive to be honest. Maybe you guys don't feel the same, I'd like to hear what you think. I wonder why this is disabled by default. Couldn't it be enabled with an "accept as a friend" prompt when they add you? Thanks for your answer!

I'm not sure the art belongs to the artist anymore. Most likely the city commissioned it from him so you'd have to ask city hall to be on the safe side? I'm not 100% sure, but it seems to me that the artist is not the owner of the piece anymore once it's out there.

I've only found 8 caches until now and 3 of them were in lamp posts. I guess it's a very common places to hide them in the city. Still, parking lots are not the most interesting thing I've seen.

Hello everyone, I don't know if this is a discussion you guys have had before, but I'm interested in hearing what you have to say about this. I started geocaching some days ago (even though I made this account in 2010) and I came across a cache hidden inside a piece of public art. I'd rather not show which one it is since it'll spoil all the fun for those in Montreal, but still. I was wondering what you guys think not only about how "legal" it is to do so, but also on how it kind of gives a new meaning to the piece. In a way, our perspective changes, because we know what's up. The piece of art doesn't mean what the artist intended to any more : it means way more to us, because we had an experience with it. I had seen that piece of art a bunch of times before, but I'll never look at it the same. From now on, it'll remind me of the experience I had to go through to get the cache (lots of geomuggles around) and what a laugh it was. What are your thoughts on this? Have you gone through a similar experience? Is using public art good geocaching etiquette? Thanks!

Which means : Found with Vantreal. No pencil, no eraser. First cache ever found. Nice experience. Went hunting for some more today (4), found one!
