That's when I will have the privilege to visit Spain again.

Greetings my Spanish friends. I am surprised that there is not a geocache (or an earthcache) hidden here: N43.268097, W1.549786. Perhaps one can be hidden before October 2020 ;-)

This. Or redesign the door so that paper can't be slipped in.

Wasn't a joke. I was laughing at my own struggles.

Good grief. So what.

Was it Ireland or Germany? LOL.

I wonder if this has anything to do with history and American sailors? BTW, I was an American sailor in Japan.

I contend that if landscapers are finding your cache then you might be doing it wrong. LOL.

Maybe I am not the best one to answer how to save money. :-(

I am just wondering what you have against banjos and shotguns.. ;-)

What I carry or don't carry shouldn't concern you. I realize that many of you like to sensationalize and exaggerate the posts of others just so you have an opportunity to extend threads for days and days but you all know I was referring to the notion of geocaching evolving into game that was predominantly or strictly required cell phone use. There is no doubt that the geo-stalkers here have already seen that my profile contains Wherigo and Adventure Lab finds.

good grief.

I don't cache with a smartphone. And if i am forced to give up my GPS for smartphone usage, then I will commit geo-cide.

No, never done this. And I am pretty sure I never would either because the chip card would never consistently make it back to its home in my experience. MaNY cachers can't even rehide a cache back in the proper location. To trust them to move the key element of a puzzle back would be asking the impossible.

I've hidden several caches using Arduinos. But mine are primarily multicaches and not mystery caches.

Yeah, heaven forbid if a challenge was actually challenging.

1,379 DNF's for me as of today. But I am only 99.9% pure.

I am not suggesting anyone leave their trash in the woods, ever. But I am pretty sure that if someone does leave their crap in the woods that it doesn't quite have the impact on the environment that some of you think it does. Let's be real here. By the reasoning ability of the typical person that claims to be an environmentalist, if you really wanted to save the planet, you'd all stop using your phones and shutdown the Groundspeak data center.

Thank you. All very good. But this here is THE BEST piece of advice.

Thanks. Looks like it just worked. At least it thanked me for my entry. Hoping I am on the list of possible cachers. :-)

My first Adventure Lab went public a few days ago. Overall I like the idea, or specifically, I like the potential this may have in the future. The only complaint I have of the builder in its current state is that I wish the 1000 character limit was higher. I know the limitation is probably the smartphone screen size but perhaps a paging function would help get past that. Even a bump to 2000 characters would have helped my specific situation.

I get web server error 500 when trying to Opt In.

I am not arguing for or against new webcams really, even though I believe existing webcams should be made maintainable. And I know some would use privacy as the excuse. But the way I see it is, logging a webcam in and of itself is 100% optional. In this case, if you want your privacy then don't log the find.

Why do we all feel a need to invent more things that serve no useful purpose? If a TOTT is required but you provide it, rate the difficulty and terrain appropriately and move on.

Plan ahead.
