I have lost all respect for the Travel Bug Log stat since I noticed people at events walking around the parking lot "discovering" trackables and others giving out lists of tracking numbers of coins or bugs that they own. With very few exceptions (trackables that I found in caches, but did not move for whatever reason) all of my trackables logged are ones I have retrieved from here and moved to there. At an event last summer a woman was very upset to find that my name tag wasn't trackable after she went "through the trouble" of taking a picture of it. It has become a total farce.

Good to see there may be some progress. I was a bit surprised when I searched, came across the thread, and realized I started it. Shows how often I think about Wherigo, but I did run across one today that interested me. In general, if you want to know what it feels like to be a second class citizen, buy a Windows Phone.

I had no problem with the Delorme plugin functioning with chrome. My argument is that my Windows 8 Netbook does not realize that the plugin is installed. Keeps telling me to download it. That happens with all browsers. I have 3rd party extensions enabled and the plug in specifically enabled. I am running a 32-but version (All the helpful suggestions in the troubleshooting guide Delorme offers) As to the numerous suggestions on various threads about using PQs instead of the plugin, PQs have their place, but if I only want a handful of park & grabs to keep me amused on my drive to Syracuse tomorrow, the PQ is overkill. Actually for most mass loading I have been using GSAK.

Is it possible to run Wherigo cartridges on Windows Phone running 7.5. I do not see an app in the MarketPlace.

These containers are among the easier ones to spot. It is pretty easy to tell that a plain utility box designed for indoor use when stuck onto the side of a lamp pole with a "Caution, high voltage" sign is a phony. Certainly hides should not be placed inside of live electrical equipment, but when you see a suspect utility box, switch cover etc. ask yourself whether or not this is placed in accordance to code, whether or not it serves any function etc. If you do not want to deal with this kind of hide, upon finding one, walk away.

This is a good example of inconsistency among reviewers. I was refused a cache since it was too close to the Metro North Tracks. It was at a public viewing platform 25-30 feet above and 25-30 feet off to the side of the tracks in a rural area. I know of one in upstate NY on a Pedestrian bridge above a very busy class 1 mainline, which must have been OK'd by a reviewer. The one under discussion in this thread, likewise must have been OK'd by a reviewer. Just an observation.

Thanks for all the input. Seems like I have to go with the alternate location.

The reviewer is not answering this question until I actually place the cache. The cache is enabled. I do not want to place the cache and then have to go back and relocate it to the alternate site if there is a problem. My preferred final stage of a mystery cache is less than .1 mile from the first stage of an existing multi cache. What I have to find out is if it is OK if the final stage of a puzzle cache is within .1 mile of the First stage of another multi.

Sunday (5/8) I discarded a wad of mush (nee log) and a stick of slimy gum from a cache that people have been reporting soggy log since October 2010 with a maintenance request in March 2011. I replaced it with a new log in a plastic pill pouch. The breach of etiquette is on the part of the CO who has ignored the cache for half a year, not me for restoring a cache to a usable state. Maybe in retrospect I should have asked for an archive.

I have no problem with a minimum distance rule if the route around a physical barrier is taken into consideration, as others have mentioned. I am thinking of placing a cache at some ruins of a railroad trestle, but think I am going to find that it is less than .1 mile from a stage 1 of another cache on the opposite side of the creek. That is .1 miles as the crow flies. To get from one to the other will be about a 3 or 4 mile drive given that the two are on different sides of a creek. When crows begin to geocache, we can play hardball with the .1 mile, but until then physical barriers should be taken into account.
