Cedar Grove Seekers

Logging your own cache is more ridiculous than logging a cache twice. If one wants the numbers, they just have to look at their 'Total Caches Hidden' number.

If we ever saw a shoe tree, we'd definitely want to log it somewhere.

We would love to see such an icon, along with stats, on GC.com. Many of our caching friends are not Waymarking (despite being the ones who introduced us to locationless caches) because they are not tracked on GC.com. The minute there is any type of symbol on GC, they will start Waymarking.

We got 16 in seven hours of driving to a wedding, but we had the most fun on #17 which we spent an hour and a half looking for and had to log a DNF.

This won't compare to some of the other animals you've all seen, but just the other night my wife and I were caching in a ravine, and a large deer came charging out of the woods at us. I yelled (more like screamed) and it turned and took off, and a couple more deer followed it. It got within about 20 feet though.

I'm not really sure how the new proposals are working. I'm in "wait and see" mode. It sounds like there will be no problem having a general category called Railways given all the interest in various related sub-categories.

Millennium Trees now available (just need someone to correct the spelling of millennium - missing one n in Waymarking).

I didn't love the idea of locationless caches in GC because I didn't think of them as real caches. Now that they are in Waymarking I much prefer them. I see GC and WM as apples and oranges - I like both fruit but not mixed together.

I can undertsand why one wouldn't log their own cache in geocaching, but in Waymarking I think it's a little different. The fact that you merely manage the category shouldn't preclude you from logging waymarks. I presume one would like to manage a category that they're interested in - because they're interested in that category they might also want to find and log waymarks in it. Others can still log that location by way of a "visit". I also like tozainamboku's recently proposed idea of a "Found it" selection where special information is required (sort of like a virtual).

It looks like Millenium Trees is the only category (of those listed) that hasn't been calimed. I would gladly manage that.

A sub-set of a railway category would be even better than merely a category under Buildings. I would suggest that any exisitng roundhouse be included, whether in use or used for other purposes such as a museum, or even vacant, or even possibly if there are enough remnants to show that a roundhouse did exist.

Certainly if Jake39 has already proposed Old Railway Staions then I would bow out of this category. I agree with some of the other comments, and would like to see a whole section of railway categories groped together. Being a railroader myself I was looking to propose possible railway categories that hadn't already been claimed (in either Waymarking or Locationless caches). I also have proposed Roundhouses as another category.

Roundhouses are buildings/structures that were used to store and turn locomotives. These are rarely used today, but many still exist. I would propose that any exisitng roundhouse be logged in this category. I also porpose that it be a sub-category of Places / Buildings. This is not an existing Locationless cache.

I would like to propose a new Waymarking category - Former Railway Stations. Waymarks would include any railway stations that are now being used for some purpose other than a railway station. Vacant unused buildings would not apply. I propose that this be a sub-category under Places / Buildings. This was NOT a former Locationless category.
