@Moun10Bike Looking for this trivia answer... What is the number of charter member left to date? What was the original number? Thanks!

I have a TB tattoo with the Tracking Numbers to boot. Cost of tatoo $120, Cost of to remove un-known, Look on cachers faces priceless.

OK I did something a little stupid... I have two coins that are the same. Activated one awhile back and have the other one for an entry fee to a geo event. But today activated a few coins and activated this coin along with the others. So my question is "Is there a way to unactivate a coin?" or will I just have the cacher who wins coin adopt it from me. If the later is the case, can the change ownership. Any help.....

I just had one of my caches have 8 dnf's or so, and thought it was time to check on it. This was after an experienced cacher had trouble. When I saw a few dnf's from new cachers I gave it some time. I find once one cacher has posted a dnf, that the next cacher to look will not look as long knowing it may not be there and post a dnf as well. It sometimes is a snow ball affect. I was 95% sure my cache was still there and sure enough it was, hidden a bit better but still there and shouldn't have been that much harder. I would not like it if someone posted Needs maintenance or Need Achived because they could not find it. At least before they gave me sometime to check on the cache myself. On another note, it is nice for cachers to post dnf's before asking for a hint. I get this all the time. Or finally post as Found and in the post say this was their third time to GZ abd never posted a DNF..

The coordinates are all you really need. Other then multi caches, puzzles and HINTS.

ebay has 12 large bison tubes for $15.99 +$5.49 SHIPPING for the US. These are the nice ones anything under $2 each is good I have found that cachers in my area leave them as swag. I normally don't trade swag but always have something of value to trade for a cache container. A couple of them were silver bullets, which made for great to keep to the theme of a cache.... Lone Ranger, Werewolf etc...

My peeve, is for all the dog owners that used the crap bags but then just throw the bag full of crap into the bush or off to the side of the trail.

An idea for this series, I love themed caches by the way, is to get hold of an Old Nintendo System gut it and fit it over an ammo box.. just an idea...........

Letterbox Hybrids require stamps for the cache but cachers do not need their own personnal stamp to log the cache. As a letterbox hyrid CO it however would be nice to see more cachers create their own stamp to stamp my logbooks. 2"x3" would be the largest just for the fact the most ink containers are no bigger then that. They are not hard to make and easier with a carving tool. Their are companys that will make your stamp in a small size that is self inking. You send your art work or they will do it with some of your ideas. Here is a local caching store they would ship to the US as well. http://landsharkz.ca/cache-essentials/custom-colop-stamps I have made some stamps of my own and plan on doing more, I use a BIG MISTAKES eraser I can get at a dollar store and the thickness makes then easy to carve and thick enough to stamp pages easy. I find some cachers including, when caching for the day its nice to get an Earthcache, Letterbox cache, now Werigo cache any Puzzle caches... along with all the Traditional ones along the way. They are different and it seems more work has been put into caches of these types for the most part.. and I can appriate that work.

You are all forgetting on key thing here.... the cache is owned by the cache owner in this case Jeff. We should have the right and tools to allow our caches to stay safe and limit those we want to find the cache if we believe they are destroying them. If there was proof they might be kicked out of geocaching but until the proof is there. I'm hoping this is an isolated problem... Some things we can do now: Subscribers Only... does limit some... even if there is a way around it. Multi Caches... some stay away from them Puzzle Cache... some people can't solve them Is it not better to have a way to block someone, then to excuse them publically without proof. Only the cache owner and "guilty party" would know. The problem I see is they would use a friends account that is in good standings to log the cache. I believe there is a way to log the cache even if your not a PM... or blocked which is similar in this case. I believe if a friend who is a PM logs the cache and keeps it on the PM only cache page and then logs off and you log on, you are then able to log the cache.. I might be wrong here but that is what I have heard.

I have changed a couple of my caches slightly because of muggles or loaction. And posted that cachers could come back a find cache again for another . And I'm not the only cacher that has done this. So I would do a cache like this, however I'm not into the stat grids, and for those that do they may not like this cache. On another note, I have gone back to check on my own caches and was not able to find quickly, at times having to search for some time..... I have just about thought about posting a find, considering the few dnfs before hand. It's possible to do so, but not to.

If you have old car/house seakers the magnets in them are strong.

Taking my famliy on a long vacation down south from BC Canada, our focas is not geocaching. I would love to geocache the whole time and hit as many caches as possible but my wife and kids will have nothing to do with that. This trip is to Disneyland and is for the kids, but we would like to hit as many states as possible. The states we might get to visit are Washington, Oregon, California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Idaho, Montana. Any attraction we plan to visit, I will search to see if a cache is near by, rest stop cache and so on. But what I would really like is a list of must do caches, as my family is not as interested in cache as me. But is willing to do some cache with me because this is my holiday as well. So if someone in each of these states could give me a list of ten must do caches while in the area, that would be great... I know I won't be able to all of these and other cache that I will pass by each minute but that is the way it has to be. Hope everyone can understand that.

I'm not against this change But a cache owner should be able to have extra requirements, and if you don't like it move on to the next cache. Sorry! you don't want to wear the wig and take a picture...or what ever. Next you want me to give out the final coords to my puzzle caches to cachers who couldn't be bothered to solve the puzzle. There have been cachers that havn't solved my puzzles but have tagged only with someone who has and I do not delete their log. And if a had a cache with a wig requirement and they failled to do the extra step, I would probable not delete their log either and now I just can't. These few cachers that will not do this extra task shouldn't dictate geocaching. About the downloading your log track to prove you did all stages..... would be hard with my gps, but if my words is no go to you then you have trust issues. And if you need to download something in log a cache, I believe that its against the guidelines, even freeware.... I tried to mave a cache that needed you to use Google Maps and it was a no go.

I have heard that is the case with the colorado that puzzle and multi caches you can not change the waypoint on the cache page, you will need to add a new waypoint. Was looking to upgrade to the colorado 300, this wouldn't stop me from buying one. Paperless Unit, would be nice to add info to the puzzle caches ect. Hope that change or add an upgrade to the software. In BC there is a cacher that post YOUTUBE videos Icenrye's Geocaching Videozine - Episode 29 check it out this episode 29 talks about the colorado and these issues better then me. Hope this info is useful. Would love feed back on how you like your colorado.

Well I have used bark , burnt stick, heard of others posting I have left a mark beside so and so's name. But don't tell anyone else this, must if not all cache owners including myself don't go and check to see and compare logbook to cache page. We may check to see if some one has wrote "found the cache lying near GZ but just the pen lid was there" This happened to me, I made a homemade nano out of a flashing magnet and metal pen lid that fit water tite, so they read the cache page, never took a look at the pic of the actual cache. And when they saw a blue pen lid gave up looking. But they logged a find for the cache they never found and never wrote in any logbook. If in fact it was the cache destroyed I would have let them log a find. As a cache owner I have pencils in every cache except nano caches any other cache has room for a pencil. I have appriecated cachers that repaired caches , replaced leaky caches, remove trash, add a pen/pencil, and I have done the same. You can buy 10-12 pencils for a buck, easy to slip in a cache that has none. Cut one in three to two parts for micros.
