This any help? https://coord.info/GC3HYWP I-75 Interstate Highway Challenge (archived) https://coord.info/GC28CGC I-15 Challenge Can't find one for I-25. B.

You might want to check those GC codes, as the two that you posted are not ones that you've logged finds for, and they don't seem to be in countries where you have any finds. https://coord.info/GC66AJC Peanut Line Yellow Ontario, Canada https://coord.info/GC4JP52 La Petite maison dans la prairie #2 - IGD 2013 France Your GS profile shows that you have 154 finds and 2 hides. (All your finds are listed in your profile, including any that have been archived.) Are you saying that you think you should have something in the range of 300 finds? B.

I know how to do that, but you need the activation code, hence my question. Are you absolutely positive that it is not already activated? And therefore belongs to someone? If it was a "gift", then the activation code would be with it, in order for the finder to be able to activate it. Which cache did you find it in? Not all trackables are logged correctly, so it doesn't necessarily show up in the cache's inventory. Some folks just pick up and then drop trackables without logging them. Some times people have had the trackable for a while, and will just drop it in a cache to be done with it. Some times folks pick up trackables that have messed-up logging, and just drop it to get rid of it, instead of going through a lot of hassle to fix things. B.

That's the one. I guess the rules have changed. Event Caches, like other geocaches, will only be published if they meet the commercial cache guideline. It should be obvious by your first post that these events are not run-of-the-mill. If HQ publishes something, then there's a good chance that the regular Guidelines do not apply. Nothing new here. Promotions have been a part of this for a while now. Mostly as trackable give-aways. Remember the Geico tb, the John Grisham thingy, etc, etc, Jeep tbs of long-ago? 1.

We've done a few "yard" caches, but only because the CO made it very clear on the cache page that it was their yard. Generally, though, if the gps points to a yard, we tend to keep driving. Did you poat your experience as a "write note" at least? It should be very clear on the cache page where you should be looking, and if you and others are going to the wrong location, the CO should be made aware of it happening. B.

Did you try contacting your Reviewer before heading to a Lackey at HQ? B.

Not sure you meant to post this in the "Travel Bugs" subforum. Maybe "How Do I?" Another benefit of Premium Membership: 4.4. Instant Notifications https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=7&pgid=184 B.

I think it's just a case of the marketing person not being careful about how things should be worded. I'm sure it's July 1 OR July 2, and I doubt you'd actually get the souvenir for just hosting an event. https://www.geocaching.com/blog/2017/05/where-in-the-world-is-signal-the-frog-canada/ B.

I just checked...there's nothing about this upcoming souvenir in the GS blog. B.

Why? B.

Posted for a bit of fun. Forgot what forum I was in. *sigh* No need for a hint when the answer has already been publicized via the Blog and PM Emails. Sort of defeats the point of "Premium Member sneak peek". B.

Eh? They've been around for over 6 years now, so hardly new. This has been requested several times in the past with no hint that anything will be done, so I think you're being over optimistic. Souvenirs were a lot newer back when kunarion posted that. B.

That's not the souvenir. It's a hint. B.

Thank you, Juicepig! And thank you, Groundspeak. B.

I think the first thing to know is that when you receive your gps, you need to turn it on, take it outside, and then leave it alone for good while to find its satellites. You can't just fire it up out of the box and have it work correctly. Maps, maps, maps...the more the better. There's lots of free ones out there. Lots have been mentioned here in the forums. If you are going to wander away from city streets, they are going to be necessary. I would hold off paying for PM right now. You stopped caching once already, who's to say it will hold your interest now. PM is worth the money. I've been a Basic Member recently, and it's ridiculously frustrating. Bookmarks and pocket queries are so simple to use and so useful, it's painful to be without them. But only you can answer whether it's worth it to you. B.

I agree that it's just not a good thing. I was STUNNED to see that "found it" was the default. WHAT?!?! This in addition to the required extra work to post NM or NA is a serious step in the wrong direction. **is it just me and my computer, or is the font on the logging page insanely faint?** B.

It appears that you initially logged your find for May 3rd, then edited the log to the 2nd. The souvenir service only fires on the initial log. I have added the souvenir to your account. Thanks, Moun10Bike Out of curiosity...if one had deleted the May 3rd "found it" log, instead of editing it, and logged a new "found it" for May 2nd, would the souvenir been awarded? B.

GLQWA89K is not a geocache. GC6HZB8 Sein brand meester https://coord.info/GC6HZB8 SvHiTij Found it 05/02/2017 Contact Groundspeak about the missing souvenir: http://support.Groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=request B.

Agreed. Both would have significance. B.

That would be a great idea to find a cache in Canada on a certain day. Unfortunately, I don't think that will happen but I do think there is some sort of souvenir planned involving Canada. Maybe August 21st. What makes you think it will be for August 21st? https://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEgoogle/SEgoogle2001/SE2017Aug21Tgoogle.html http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=344178 I don't think a "solar eclipse" souvenir would mean anything the same as a Canada Day 2017 souvenir.
