  1. While it is possible to set one up and just e-mail the recipient the code word, I suspect the experiment is to see what ways people can use their imagination and ingenuity to do something cool.
  2. In Nevada, and most other places, it illegal to enter an abandonded mine. The State tries to seal them off, but it is not cheap, so they try to get the most unstable or higher risk ones first. (Higher risk = in popular off road enthusiest areas). I believe what A & J Tooling is refering to is the minefields in war zones. I doubt you will find any geocaches inside the marked areas, but I have found some geocaches just outside the minefield fence along the access road.
  3. You can find the background here <Link>
  4. I would like to vote for Nevada Geocaching. Why does my vote say Ringbone?
  5. Was there a request for cartoonish dynamite? I think I published that cache.
  6. Since I couldn't put it any better than this.... I'm sure I speak for many other reviewers in the West/Southwest. Thanks for your assistance. RoadRunner Volunteer Reviewer- Nevada
  7. I just read an e-mail from the previous owner. It turns out that there are some significant differences between what the situation was like when the cache was originaly placed and what it's like now. Even if the container and the location are the same, the overall experience does change due to new limitations in access. This also could possibly effect terrain and difficulty. My recommendation to the previous owner was that they could offer ownership of the container to another cacher and the new owner could replace the log book and list the cache as new listing. RR
  8. All of the above concerns are addressed whenever a cache is archived or adopted out. The situation is looked at on a case by case basis. At the moment, the OP needs to contact the reviewer and see what the situation is and what (if anything) can be done. Knowing what cache will help. Thanks RoadRunner Nevada Reviewer
  9. I hit mine pretty much randomly. Sometimes I will start at the bottom of the list, sometimes at the top. If I feel especially adventurous, I will hit a bunch in the middle.
  10. That was already available. It is called an SBA log. That does work most of the time. In this case I was filling in for a reviewer on vacation, so I would not get the SBA notification for her state. Also, folks do not always post SBA logs. In this case there were 3 notes posted, no SBA, and an e-mail to myself and the owner.
  11. Since Nevada's pouplation center is well inside a bombing range, I doubt we will see a physical cache placement there. That would support the idea of the plaque or marker, not the position itself. Would this idea extend to geographical centers also?
  12. Normally this happens when you have duplicate "found it" logs for the same cache. In your case, it could be the 2 locationless caches that are in your count, but not in your list.
  13. Yes, reviewers do normally check for those types of errors. A Traditional that should be a Multi or Puzzle, etc. As far as the cache listing contents, the owner is responsible for that and reviewers really shouldn't go changing things. It would cause more harm than good. Edit: add completeness
  14. For the same reason. The problem is having people wander close to and around school property causing school officials to call the police. We just dont want to take the chance they will. LaPaglia, I agree with you completely. What I meant was that IF the concerns about being so close to a school didn't come into play (which they obviously DO), then it STILL wouldn't be meet the criteria for hiding a virtual. The OP has argued that this spot is historically significant and therefore meets the "WOW factor" requirements. I'm not sure I buy that, but even if I did...he still hasn't addressed why the area could not support a physical cache as a final stage for a multi. Well, first of all obviously there is no place for a physical cache of anykind at this location since it is on the property of the Charleston School District. Second, if you are unsure of the importance of this particular area, how many people have heard of Central High School in Little Rock Arkansas where Gov. Fabus had to call out the National Guard when that school tried to integrate. Charleston Arkansas integrated with no National Guard, not protest, it was totally peaceful. I think there are a LOT of people who would be VERY interested in the fact that tiny Charleston, Arkansas a town with a population today of right at 3K was the first school in the Old Confederacy to allow blacks to attend school with whites. If anyone thinks that is not interesting, then the person thinking that is obviously either an idiot, or does not care about civil rights. Rusty_da_dog The details of why this location is important is not relevant. The relevant issue is that reviewers will no longer publish caches that will bring strangers onto school property. Is that to the point enough? RR Edit: spelling
  15. Rusty_da_dog, At this moment I would highly that you settle down and realize what is going on. You have been attacking reviewers as well as the person who is in charge of the reviewers. Nothing about that will change the guidlelines or get your virtual published. When you think about it, elementary and middle schools are not good places to put a cache. It really doesn't matter what type. It will not be published. Thanks RoadRunner Cache Reviewer
