They seem to weathering ok, its just the real birds pecking at them thats the problem.

This is a Micro I have set out a few weeks ago. I am having a little trouble with birds pecking at it & carrying it off.

Just curious. Why would you want to? I didn't know if I could, not that I would. She wouldn't have found it with out a GPSr or me directing her to it. I just thought this was an unusual way to find a cache that I really didn't find.

I do value the opinions of the forum participants. This is the reason I asked the question here. I have a feeling the percentage will pretty low. I will not claim the cache, but we did have fun finding it this way. Thanks to all that replied.

Being fairly new to the game I am not sure what’s legal & what’s not. Can you claim a find even if you did not actually find it? I’ll explain, my sister was visiting her son in California. I called her (not knowing she was in Cal.) to see if she had heard about geocaching & she had not. I explained how it works & she thought it would be fun. She did not have a GPSr but we thought we would try to find one over the phone. To make a long story short she & her family found the “Dewalt” Cache located in Oceanside Cal. I directed her to the cache by using the logs, the clue & the gallery from the cache page to guide her to where it was hidden. We probably got pretty lucky to accomplish this but we really did. I would like to know if I can claim the find even though I did not actually find it. Note: My sister now has a GPSr & an account & has 11 or 12 finds, she is now hooked on geocaching.

My daughter heard about gecaching from a friend of hers and was telling my wife. My daughter asked me if I knew anyone that had a GPS that they could use. It happened that I had one that had never been used. (I pruchased it for an elk hunting trip that didn't happen). Of course I had to know why she needed it. The rest as they say is history.

How about the property owners? Do you think that the property owner ought to have some input in determining what uses are made of his property? Just curious, what would have prevented you from visiting the Mount Mora cemetary? I like the old & small mostly unvisited cemetaires that are located in the rural areas. I didn't expect Mount Mora to be as old & as interesting as it is. Again I'm glad we went. I agree, property owners should have all the input to what is done on their property.

My first cache was in a cemetary. My wife, daughter & I visited "Mount Mora" (located at zip code 64485, I don't know how to link to the forum.) We had a great time & found this to be very interesting. We had driven by this cemetary for years & had no idea of its history. If it wasn't for Geocaching I doubt that we would have ever visited Mount Mora but we are glad that we did. As others have said it should be left up to the individule whether or not to hide or seek a cache in a cemetary, not the government. I have been contemplating submitting a cemetary cache myself. We have in our area many small & very old cemetaries, some dating back to the late 1700's. I have visited several of these even before I caught the geo bug, I enjoy it, I think others would also. I found 1 stone that said the person had aged 140. I have never felt that I was tromping around on graves.

Lurking, am I lurking or am I just finding out more about geocaching? I just started geocaching a few weeks ago thanks to my daughter, bless her heart. A friend of hers was talking about geocaching and wanted to know if I knew anyone who had a gps. I had one that I had never used, the rest as they say is history. Now I can spend more time enjoying the outdoors.

I take this 66 on nice sunny days.

We had our 1st encounter near Platte City Mo. 5-10-05. It was just a garter but a big one, sure glad it wasn't a mouse or I might still be looking for the wife.

I have have not yet placed this, but I would like to start a "guess what" I would place items in the cache that are unusual and most people would not know what they are and ask them to identify.

Being a "Newbie" it is for the expierence. I have had a ball just seeing what is out there & whats has been hidden. I have seen & been to places that I didn't know existed in my local area. Most of the hi count cachers have been doing this for some time & have reason for the large counts. Some hi daily counts may be spending the entire day caching as I intend to do at some point. As I said I am having a ball doing this. Obviously we are all having fun with the "expierence" or we wouldn't be caching.

I am very new to the geocaching. I would like to try something that I think might be fun. I would like to start a cache that has unusual items in that not everyone would know what they are. I would like them to attempt to identify. I don't know how I would let the person know if thier identifications are correct. I would prefer that the identified items were not posted on the online log. I have seen links on some cache postings i.e. virtuals that you need to claim. My problem is I don't know how this is done. I have tried the help pages with no luck. Sure would like some help on this. Has antything like "guess what" been done before. thanks
