I will just archive all my caches &be done with this non sense

I dont care if you can not accept the facts or like my comments I never asked for your approval nor do I need any from you you are so supercilious that you have to tell me what I am supposed to do, feel or act odd how you are ok with cachers destroying nature to find a cache though good bye

I see why this is non sense the AT trail traverses private & public lands not sure how they can claim rights to a corridor all because its in the vicinity

thanks I find it odd however closer to the actual trail are 3 premium caches not sure how the AT/LT group has authority since most of the trail traverses state & private land Ill research further and maybe start a crap storm if need be

AT/LT Cache needs permission to be placed ~ INSANITY i recently tried to place a geocache 100ft from teh at/lt crossing I am told I need permission while teh cache is on the side of the road away from this trail buffer zone and most likely on killington town or state land Ive called the agent I was told to reach out to , to never receive any answer & now I am told to come here to see what can be done Im not sure who makes these rules but its insane I do notice on the trail in this area are 3 premium caches, so odd they are allowed and mine isnt seems theres some favoritism going on here in this hobby please HELP Type: Traditional Cache Log: Greetings, AA1PR. Please realize I do not personally have any voice in determining the Appalachian Trail buffer zone. The buffer zone is established and maintained by Groundspeak in cooperation with the Appalachian Trail and the U.S. National Park Service. GC1HQYQ AA1PR's Ultimate Survival Cache is about 1/2 mile south of the buffer zone. If you wish to get an exception to the policy, please contact geocaching support staff at: https://www.geocaching.com/help/ Thank you for your understanding!

I dont understand the site as to how premium caches that do not show on the play map take precedence over those of us that are non paying members when placing a new cache apparently there are premium caches which dont show to non subscribers which are hidden in some same areas and they take priority? why dont these at least show on the map but keep the info and exact cords hidden or a red circle like when I was submitting another cache that told me there was a prem cache already in the area Ive attached a map in my request to mainepublisher & what it shows me, it shows no caches in the area whatsoever this is totally unfair to those of us that cant not afford to pay to play I am disabled and I am sadly one of those members that has been here for over a decade Ill move my cache(s) again in an attempt to find another location where I see no caches listed only to hope there are not any premium caches already there I totally oppose this in protest of unjust disqualification because geocaching.com wont show premium caches please correct this issue or find a reasonable resolution thank you for your time & understanding, hopefully things can be changed so we dont run into these issues as I surely must not be alone in this AA1PR

Each time I list a cache I let the gps sit at the location in order to get the most accurate reading however there are a few locals that like to go in & never let their gps settle down & get a true reading & would rather bad mouth me & send me nasty messages through the system here than find the cache even though others have no problem find my caches these select few do that is why I have lost interest here

well i've had my vista machines since march 2007 and still no fix yet ,same thing with a palm device no fix so i had to buy a windows mobile pda in order for everything to work . should of could of but didnt stay with xp pro.....

so if I use wsg84 this will be close by a meter or to. I know i'm new to this but have been using my gps since i got it for hiking purposes and hunting. I know of the tick marks on the maps and that is how i have lightly drawn the grids on my usgs maps. I just dont want to be off by say a half mile or so. Maybe this is the perfect excuse for the wife to buy me a new gps for my birthday. I orginally started off with the gps 315 but found i didnt like the built in map for accuracy and since i carry a map it was easier to look at the gps and take the reading and look at the map and go from there. I thank all of you for the help. 73(best regards) AA1PR,Mike

if all the usgs maps use NAD27 why does geocaching.com use NAD83 for UTM cordinates?? I know my magellan GPS310 is a few years old but never have had the need for nad 83 as all of the USGS maps i use for reference use NAD27. Also my gps doesnt have this nad83.Who or what maps have the nad83 printed on them for the cordinates?? Is this a newer system if so please explain as i'm not old but must be out of touch or something in the last few years?? Any help will be of important value to me and I thank you in advance.
