  1. When I don't find a cache I read the log to see if I can get any help there. I also go to google earth or google map to see if that can help me. Many times I've found the cache after looking at google earth for some hint.

  2. If you find a QR code in the field on a multi cache how do you get the image on your phone to solve it?

    You take a picture of it with any camera phone.

     

    Several readers are discussed in the duplicate thread I linked to above, and more info can be found at http://qrcodenewspress.com/

     

    Well they mean actually with any smartphone that can read a QR code. Most iphone, droid and Blackberries can.

     

    Thanks for the reply to you both :P

  3. I started geocaching this summer. I will contiune during the winter. I look for the attribute for snow when I look for caches to find. It's not many hours of a little light outside now. So I often find myself "nightcaching" in the middle of the day :D

    I've been thinking about this . . .

     

    Could this get to a stage when the cache containers are too well disguised ? It's all very well going hunting but if you don't find anything - are you going to come back ?? I know people are always looking for the next big challenge, maybe we should put 'Heavily Disguised' in the cache details.

     

    This might sound like I don't like the idea of disguised caches - just the opposite - I have various logs and stones in our garden which will be made into nasty cache containers when I have the time !!

     

    This one is in Oregon it's a Utility or fuse box attached to a pole in front of the CO's house! Pretty cute & clever!

    The CO has it fixed up like a little TB Resort, with palm trees, hot tub, etc!

     

    That's a great cache. I would like to see one like this near where I live :laughing:

  5. I find it hard deciding when the cache is actually missing and when it's just me who's bad searching for the cache.
    A DNF log is fine. It's good to mention how thoroughly you searched, or how you looked where the clue says (certainly if it's very specific). But I often resist suggesting the container is gone (and I re-read my log to be sure it can't be mistaken for insisting it's missing), even if other logs say so. But I do mention how mystified I am :rolleyes: .

     

    Thank you for a good explanation <_<
