Another problem you might hit, if you try to archive your existing cache to make a multi, is cache permanence. It's been out there less than a month. Archiving to replace with a new cache might raise the eyebrows of your reviewer.

hmmm.... define physical .... as in listed on the cach epage for everyone to see? because couldnt i then just hide the waypoint from everyone but my reviewer, and then it would make it a virtual waypoint, seeming how you would have to visit spot a to get the choords for spot b? No, physical ... as in you put something there. All parts you place must be at least the minimum distance from all points of another cache. (They don't have to be any minimum distance from eachother in the same multi.) Since your location is too close to another of your caches, it won't work, even as the final for a multi. Another option might be to use that too close location as a "question to answer" stage. Is there something there someone could get information from to calculate the final set of coordinates, which would be placed elsewhere?

All physical waypoints are subject to the saturation guidelines. Making your cache a multi won't help you.

The local reviewers I know have a much higher find count than their reviewer profile shows - they find caches under a different name.

If you found it and logged it at the previous location, you should be able to find it under your own profile.

How did you load them?

Cache owners can put what ever they want in that field. Clicking the link will still take you to the (current) owner's profile. Many who have adopted caches leave the original name and add their own, as in- Created by: Cacher A, adopted by Cacher B.

If you can, laminate the sheet before putting it in a container. You can even "laminate" with clear packing tape. It should last longer than just a sheet of paper that way.

You are a premium member, so you can run a pocket query to get a group of caches. Then copy this file into the GPX file on your GPS. No special program needed.

Aside from the fact that I, personally, would have no interest in this cache; this portion: would prevent it being published.

The Sacramento area group is RCGDS. We have events the second saturday of each month. The June event will be a CITO: GC26QPB.

The Boxcar Children series has a book featuring geocaching.

Sometimes working nights and weekends can crimp you social calendar. I've been doing it my whole life too. No reason you cannot host one that suits your schedule though. Unless you are in a really cacher sparse area I bet they will come out at night. We've had a midnight event on the winter solstice here for the past two years. We've made the Waffle House standing room only both years, and this year the event host even treated us to free bacon!! I'm not sure when they changed it, but events on Friday (the 30th) and Monday (the 3rd), qualify, too.

Polished rocks as swag??....... Not my cup of tea. I'm not so much interested as what swag is in a cache as I am about finding the cache. Now if I spot something that I find interesting, like a key fob with a car key on it, and can make a TB out of it, I'll swap something out for it. Other than that.......... I just look at the swag to see what others have put in. My daughter loves finding polished rocks in caches, and has gathered a nice collection.

If the cache is already published, and has any finds, you can't change it. That would effect the stats of those who found it. Archive and submit a new cache.

I'd have to say this has not always been true for all areas. Some time back I hosted an event in a local park, and also set up cache pages for 2 caches in the park. One I placed and had published for the event. The other- life got in the way and I just left it inactive, planning to place and publish soon after. The morning of the event, another cacher placed a nano near my unpublished coordinates. He passed around coordinates, and submitted the cache later that day. His was published, I was never asked about my intentions.

I've been to events where funds were collected, usually in the form of passing the hat and/or a 50/50 raffle. Both would clearly be considered as solicitations. The events I've been to with these types of things raise funds to pay for the event itself. That is very different from fundraising for a cause.

You need to set up a pocket query, which will email the gpx file to you.

At others said, your accuracy sounds normal. On the Colorado, you need to mark a cache found to move it to the found caches list.

Some cache owners will occasionally check paper logs when maintaining the cache, etc, but its really an honor system. If you log my cache, unless I have a pretty good reason to suspect you weren't really there, I won't bother to verify your log. Edited to add: all of the people I know with large find counts really have found a lot of caches.

Hmmm, only 5 miles from my house. I don't think I ever looked for this one, though.

1/ no 2/ yes

I love it!!! You should make that your tagline! Isn't blue a boy's color? Yeah, but most boys I know don't wear a bow in their hair regardless of the color. Besides, it's baby blue, not 'i'm-so-manly' blue! And I hate pink. Purple? I like purple. Maybe I should get a purple bow.

Can you see who is viewing your cache? One of the reasons for having a cache premium members only is for the audit log to see who's viewed it. Or so I've heard; I don't have any PMO caches myself.

And I'm sure the owner of that cache is wondering about all the views from out of the area cachers tonight.
