  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. You might want to get caught up on recent/upcoming developments: http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=344315 http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=344318 B.
  4. You might also want to download the full owner manual: http://static.garmincdn.com/pumac/GPSMAP64_OM_EN.pdf page 4, "Creating a waypoint". B.
  5. Once you have the coordinates, you might want to make sure you are familiar with the Guidelines: https://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx And you will want to read all the information available in the Help Center about hiding a cache: https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.book&id=19 B.
  6. I just checked...there's nothing about this upcoming souvenir in the GS blog. B.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. That's not the souvenir. It's a hint. B.
  10. Thank you, Juicepig! And thank you, Groundspeak. B.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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. B.
  16. This one took a bit of time to learn. If the log is nice and dry, that works. If the log is a mushy piece of pulp...."found it", "needs maintenance". why do people insist on trying to jam log scrolls into tiny zip locks? argh B.
  17. I'm going to jinx myself here: I've always had a souvenir appear immediately after posting the "found it" or "attended" log. And with the Blue Switch souvenir...it was also immediate. Click the "submit" button for my "found it" log, and a tab popped up on the right-hand side telling me that I had earned a souvenir. The most problems I've read in the forums are from folks who are outside North America, and the time/date difference has usually been the problem. The Blue Switch souvenir hadn't been switched on "as yet", as explained by a Lackey somewhere else in the forum. B.
  18. You can retroactively award favorites, once you've got enough of them to give out. Maybe make a bookmark list of caches that you want to give favorites, so you don't forget later. B.
  19. I wonder if Signal's upcoming trip to Canada might indicate a souvenir for Canada Day is in the works? B.
  20. You didn't delete the souvenir. It's still there under your "souvenirs" tab. What you've done is removed it from your profile page under "Profile Information". What you want now is the html code to display it on your profile page, which Sherminator18 has kindly provided. B.
  21. Where in the world is Signal? Dönerstag 2017 Acquired on 04/29/2017 (also on your profile page under "Profile Information") 3 million active geocaches: Thank you! Acquired on 04/24/2017 (also on your profile page under "Profile Information") https://coord.info/GC6P6CT Tree of Knowledge JDogMonkey Found it 05/03/2017 (That explains why you don't have the "Blue Switch Day 2017" souvenir, which was available on 05/02/2017) You were able to log this one as found more than once. As of May 8th, this will not be possible. Upcoming Logging Rule Changes http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=343632 If your daughter is TornadoTori15, the souvenirs for "Where in the world is Signal? Dönerstag 2017" and "Blue Switch Day 2017" are showing on her profile page under "Profile Information", but not on her souvenirs tab. https://www.geocaching.com/profile/?guid=840c470a-c36f-40cb-8d6b-437a4ae9b2e9 You might want to contact Groundspeak to get help with this: Email Us http://support.Groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=request (category 06 Souvenirs) B.
