  1. None at the moment, all finds are in Utah, albeit throughout Utah. However, by next week I will have 1 find in Idaho!
  2. I, like you, do not have a license yet. Luckily I have an ATV and an OHV license, and there are two canyons (Green Canyon and Hyde Park Canyon) as well as the Bonneville Shoreline Trail accessible via ATV trails from my house. If I want to do city caching, I go with my mom while she shops. Luckily, I will have my license in 1 1/2 months, because those canyons are starting to get filled with smileys!
  3. I posted a feedback on the feedback area of the website to get a list of the reviewers. Click here to see and vote for it.
  4. Will you be driving a Jeep? If so, you absolutely have to do some of the Trails around Moab, whether there are caches there or not. As for Utah, I can tell you right now that once you hit around Cedar City, the rest of I-70 is pretty boring until you hit Payson, which it looks like you won't. In fact the majority of southern Utah (other than St. George, Zions, Lake Powell and Moab) seems to be pretty boring in my opinion. I'm sure there are those that would argue with me on that point, though. As for weather, in Southern Nevada it ought to be pretty windy, so you might want a windbreaker if that bothers you. In Utah it ought to be in the 70's. Have fun, of course.
  5. I used to think BlueRajah was the only Utah reviewer, but then when I placed my cache it was approved by RedHiker. I thought maybe it was just an outside reviewer helping out BlueRajah (it does happen), but then I noticed a lot of the caches around here are published by RedHiker. Is there any official list of all the reviewers?
  6. I live in Northern Utah. I think once someone got murdered like, I don't know... 6 years ago? I'm pretty sure that absolute worst crime that has happened in the past year here is a DUI.
  7. According to the imdb FAQ's, the new Planet of the Apes is in no way connected to the 2001 remake. That doesn't make it impossible, but it does make it a completely new group of people.
  8. Other than the fact that I can't code at all, have never attended an event, and can't drive?
  9. I've heard that it takes a minute to "figure out" where it is when it goes a long ways like that, so you need to be in open air for ~30 mins before it will work at all.
  10. e·lit·ism or é·lit·ism (-ltzm, -l-) n. 1. The belief that certain persons or members of certain classes or groups deserve favored treatment by virtue of their perceived superiority, as in intellect, social status, or financial resources. 2. a. The sense of entitlement enjoyed by such a group or class. b. Control, rule, or domination by such a group or class. Yeah? So? "The belief that certain persons or members of certain classes or groups deserve favored treatment" Sounds like it's not the PMO caches that are elitist, but the non-PMs that want access to them! "Sure, you all pay for access to special caches, but I DON'T WANT TO PAY MONEY."
  11. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1318514/faq#.2.1.7 It is completely unrelated to the 2001 remake, but I supposed Groundspeak could attempt to work something out if they wanted to.
  12. I've forgotten my pen on a FTF, so I didn't want to hike back out, since someone else might think they had FTF if I hadn't signed it. Instead I wrote it in mud. It took a while, but it did the job. Once STF came around, they said they wrote my info again in pen so it would stay. Fixed it fine. There is always a way to prove you were there- if you can't, delete the log.
  13. I would like it to be in Utah
  14. 1: http://www.geocaching.com/about/cache_types.aspx Is that what you are looking for? 2: If you are talking about magnetic keyholders when you say "keyboxes", that is a micro. A micro is simply a size, not a specific container.
  15. Well... UTAG seems to be pretty much defunct. Is there any other geocaching association in Utah?
  16. I once did a cache (GC12J3A) and approached from the North, and bushwhacked up a steep incline the whole way. Once I got to it, it had a bike path that was easy to hike on from the West. Needless to say, I took the West departure.
  17. Other people have already given you the correct answer, but I would like to warn against putting such an exact description of where and what the cache is, it might ruin it for someone else who hasn't found it yet.
  18. Hard to tell with a dry suit on and my long hair I suppose, but I'm a guy thank you very much I can tell you I was very dirty, hot, and sweaty (and thus smelly) after that hike. Still enjoyed it though!
  19. Well, now that I think about it even more, my earlier post may just be because of my background. I live in Northern Utah in a town that is 89% LDS. (I am not LDS.) When someone is atheist/agnostic here, it is usually because they had some sort of gripe with the LDS church and are still pretty sore about it. Maybe atheists/agnostics are more chill in other places, but I have never seen an LDS as gung-ho about changing my religion as an atheist. Sure, there's the "are you interested in joining the mormon church?" jib-jab, but nothing that has ever made me uncomfortable. So, my experience is a bit sheltered up here in Northern Utah.
  20. Not exactly what I said, but of course I don't expect anyone to quote me correctly on the internet
  21. Usually small swiss army knives have tweezers in them... and a toothpick it's those two little different colored knobs on one end of the knife - just pull them out to use them. Mine doesn't, and I know it because I use to have a knife that did. When I say this thing is small I mean it, it's probably a bit less than 3 inches long, less than half an inch wide, and designed to go on a keychain. Hmmm... i have several of those (microlight or just called small Swiss army knife) that go on a keychain (roughly 3 inches long and half inch wide) and they all have the tweezers. It slides out of a tiny opening right beside the O-ring that i use to attach the knife to the keychain. On this picture it's the little grey knob on the bottom of the knife - end opposite of the O-ring. [image cut out to save space]On the other side white little piece is the toothpick or whatever-else-you-got-to-pick pick The only ones that i've seen that didn't were the ones with metal sides instead of plastic, or some off-brands... Also - the the swiss army knife users - the little end on the file can and is meant to be also used as a screwdriver for both slotted and phillips screws I have had a knife before that had toothpick/tweezers in it, so I know what I'm looking for, and I can assure you that mine does not have them.
  22. As much as I'd love to see a HistoryCache to go along with EarthCache, I'd really rather not see more virtuals.
  23. What may be interesting is a multi, but all the stages are on the same coordinates. Each micro has a few numbers that lead to a final cache, which would be the only one away from that set or coords.
  24. I feel that if the most "offensive" thing I found in a cache was a religious pamphlet I'd be pretty happy. And I have only found 56 caches. I am a Christian, but if I found a pamphlet for muslimism/judaism/hinduism etc... I would hardly be "offended". I don't know what it is about religion, but the only people that seem to get mad about it are some (READ: SOME) agnostics/atheists. As much as I would love for it to happen, I don't care whether or not you are my religion. But for some reason you seem to care that I am. [/rant] Back to what I was originally saying... I have found a plastic... err... phallus in a cache. I went ahead and took that out. Don't watch the news much eh? Lets be realistic here, atheists and agnostics are one of the smallest minorities in America. I hardly doubt they spend a lot of time worried about what YOUR religion is. Saying SOME atheists feel a certain way is a about as much of a cop-out as saying, "I dont know what it is about cachers, but some (READ: SOME) sure like hiding packages that look like bombs." It sorta' lets you both deride someone and hide behind non-committal language at once. You know? I can assure, you people of all different faiths, creeds and cultures get offended by differing religious beliefs. There is a lot of power, money and hate out there to prove it. True, true. I guess I didn't word what I was trying to say very well. It certainly sounds the way you are describing it! This is what I mean to say: I don't know of any people of faith (whatever it may be) that would be "offended" by a differing faith's pamphlet. (Unless it outrightly says "YOU ARE GOING TO HELL", in which case it still isn't "trash" or "hate speech", but unhelpful words from misguided people.) At least in my experience, it has only been agnostics/atheists that ever get their panties in a bunch over religious proselytizing. (To use your example, there are very few, if any, people who are not cachers hiding things that look like bombs but aren't bombs in parks. Therefore, you can't blame all cachers, but you can only blame cachers. Does that make sense?) I still don't think this is coming out exactly as it seems in my head, but you should be able to get the right idea.
