  1. http://www.ohio.com/mld/ohio/news/14239923.htm This and other URLs related to "Question Block Game" Has landed some teenagers in jail. Im not saying that is Geocaching, but, it does have Muggles out looking for strange boxes, and calling the Police. What do you think the impact of this is for our community?
  2. I know it would have (more than likely) been commercial, and therefore not allowed on here... but they should have set up a URL or Email address to log the fact that you found the E-EEG... as a psuedo virtual cache. LOL I love easter eggs. The best I have heard of is one in a DVD where the actors in the movie are shown trowing *real* easter eggs at the camera. EEGGS and GC are in my "daily" sites.

  4. Ive come across such a cache with just Velcro.... thats a realatively cheap idea.. for the "Idustrial Strength" variety.
  5. Yay another addict!!!! whooopppeeee!!!
  6. Then again, do peoplewrite SL in micros? Personally I dont write SL, but then Ive found 5 caches total, 3 micros. And a fourth has been muggled.
  7. Are you a friend of Signal? I mean Dorothy and Bill W. have their friends... so why can't Signal?
  8. Does anybody have a truck that I can borrow? It will have to be big enough to hold 18 pallets of ammo cans. A bunch of us got together around Christmas of last year and bought one of these lots. I beleive we got 400 Fat-50's. The were snapped up like hotcakes by the local geocachers. I smell an event! Or at least the breeder Cache to end all breeder caches.
  9. What? Carleen is panicing? .... Um uh, isn't she the one who always wants all of us to calm down? Can some one slip her a "mickey" ?
  10. Use the hints and pictures. I mean the cache placer intends for you to use them or he or she would not put them there. And since he put them there, he must want for you to have that information. Some people would need both the GPS and the hints and pictures. Seriously though, limit your first non gps finds to 1/1s and 2/2s. Also Look for the larger cache containers. My first 5 caches where without a gps. I decided on the Etrex Yellow (Which I got for $89) and had that with me for a 3/2. I don't have much 'force' yet so that cache with my GPS was a multiple DNF. After that my car quit on me. So technically, all of my Finds have been with out a gps. Another cache was in my old neighborhood. I looked at the pictures, and given what I saw, I knew EXACTLY where to go. Once I was on-site in the park (pocket park) it took me less than 3 minutes to find it. That one was a micro as well. There is a list of the top geocachers floating around somewhere, one guy is in the 4 digits, and claims to not use a GPS at all.
  11. The obligatory reply is, I've seen wooden nickles as trade items. Sand dollars should be of more value than that. But seriously, Im sure you can leave one an no one would complain (if it doesnt break) but I do think that you need something else as well. Perhaps you can make the sand dollar your sig item. I figure that since you ask, you must have a ready supply, or live by the coast, so you have more than a few.
  12. Ok well, I like it.......... Can we tweak the raccoon more towards the cartoon end of things? ::looks around:: and some swag in the box?? ::ducks:: Thanks
  13. Me, right now, right here, scratched my head. Me, a second after the above, right here, wasthe first to respond.
  14. Can I have a Raccoon opening a Ammo box? ((We will just forget for the moment that I have yet to find an Ammo can cache yet )) Edit> I guess I should mention I want it to be cartoonish... thought that would go without saying.
  15. 1. Your in Texas. Last Time I checked, Texas is a HUGE state. There are going to be more caches in Texas than in states east of the mississippi to begin with, and Micros therefore will follow suit. 2. No one is making you go find the micros. 3.I agree we have been over this before. Caching is not the trade items, but the find right? Then what is your argument? Go shopping already!
  16. Can I be a geek for a second? Thanks. The term "leaf" is properly defined as the entire section that sprouts off from the plant. (The twig proper, not each leaf*) *what you think of as a leaf is actually a leaflet. "Leaflets Three....." Not Leafs three!!
  17. I thought it was 0.10 miles. lets go with .10 of a mile. Its Shorter. /Phantom Tollbooth
  18. Yeah, set it to WGS what ever it is. Also, if its straight out of the box, it has to find it self (basically speaking) before it can be used...... Your Manual should mention this. (Yeah RTFM indeed)
  19. Found my first 5 without one. I got my GPSr, and my car broke down. So, 100% of cache finds have been with out a GPS. I tried one cache with my GPS, DNF. Oh, I only have 5 finds? Er uh, uh...
  20. If we see boxes, pencils, and paper on the toy aisle we will know.
  21. The One Spot at Target is great. But most of the stuff I buy from that section, I buy for myself LOL.
  22. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...b4-0ea3a43fa99a This was my first find. I found it with out a GPS, and about three or so days after I found out about Geocaching for the first time. I went to the site, and found it easily enough. I put it back where I found it, in the exact same spot, facing the same direction. I didn't know it was a rule to not move it. But to me I didnt think about moving it. I mean I knew for the most part, it wasnt mine. I had no reason to move it. A month later or so, it got muggled. Other people visited it after me, so I can say "Not Me!!". I found out later that the cache had been moved. It was more or less in plain sight... but I saw the White bottom of the 5 gallon laundry soap bucket along natural cover. And this was in the dead of night too might I add. I hit a small cache once that was also found with out a GPS. I found this one because of the lid again. I left it more covered than I found it, (but it was obvious that something was under there). I contacted the cache placer, and she asked me why I didnt turn it back upside-down. -- She had camaflauged the bottom, but not the top. Lastly, I found one micro once that had velcro on the side... it was in a place that the velcro was needed... so you couldnt not put it back wrong.
  23. Duke, I assume 2 Washingtons... not a 2 dollar bill?
