Coming back from a mega-event in Canada I had about 30 and I think my caching partner had about 20. And everyone at that event probably got to take as many as they wanted two too to.

Boy, I must be doing it wrong. I just look at the 4 or 5 forum topic sections that interest me, and look at messages that interest me. That has not taken any time at all, even when I come home from a week of caching, it only takes a little whiler to get back up to speed on all the topics.

You mean "Difficulty" right?

I love the thought that if I'm in a new area and had not run a PQ I could find at least one cache if a CB exists nearby. Jeremy himself visited a CB cache when he was in Massachusetts last Fall. Let existing ones stay till CB says "Remove Them", and if their wording was "No New" ones, then OK but the one has nothing to do with the other.

Also be sure that it really is unactivated. Sometimes some characters can look like others, a magnifying glass might help if they are small.

Unknown means "unknown" not "puzzle" as many people think. It is for ANY cache that does not fit into any other category. To be safe I look at all Unknown caches, and even all multi's since some multi's are only 1 or 2 parts and are DT 1,1.5. If there were a new 'type' many people wouldn't use it right, and it would be more work for the reviewers I think.

As anyone can see, in the current google aerial photo (it's not a satellite photo), and the plan that someone posted, several of those structures have not yet been built. The photo can perhaps be a year old. This airplane was flying over a site near where I want to place a cache, sometime in the summer of 07 1.5 years ago. http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=42....mp;t=h&z=18

There is a pinned topic that has some simple HTML things. And a simple google search brings up hundreds of great sites of info. Your second question, no anyone can edit their own caches, one does not need to be a Premium Member. Your unasked question, if you don't know how to edit your cache page, on the top right where you can 'log it' you can also 'edit it'.

Are they actually physical objects out in the world, or an digital image artifact of some sort at google? Plus, there is the start of another one just up from the bottom one, just the center 'tower'. Edited to add: www.terraserver.microsoft.com shows them too. So they are real.

Yes, http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=211856 But I love it, what a great idea, finding interesting/strange things. There actually is a Stonehenge replica at UMass Amhurst http://maps.google.com/staticmap?center=42...ptype=satellite OK that url blows, how about: http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=42....mp;t=h&z=20 this gives you the ability to zoom in and out and pan. http://www.umass.edu/sunwheel/ Well, it's stonehenge-like, but not a model of the actual one.

If they are not Stonehenge replica's like in Larry Nivens Protector novel then perhaps they are some kind of directional antennae. Also looks a little like Cepheus.

The way I use bookmarks, my lists are unique and I have no need to move or copy any of my caches from one to the other. How do you use yours, not just you but everyone else too?

About the same ratio for me. At first all were cross listed and that got me to create an account 'over there', but then they started to be just peoples way to get another icon in their profile. But at least all of them did have a stamp in them, mostly nice handmade ones. And most did have letterbox-like finding instructions. I don't think cross-listing is 'necessary', but it would have been nice. Now, as it stands, I have no memory of what my password was 'over there' and i've since accidently found at least 50 true letterboxes while geocaching. I stopped caring about them.

If you are sure that it's not a non-geocaching letterbox then all you have to do is to create a 'new' cache right there and get it approved. You can't adopt archived caches. You can't get an archived cache to be un-archived. It will have to be a new cache. You can use the same container and/or logbook if you want, but I'd save those for the original owner if he ever cares to get them. You could mention in your cache page something like 'unofficially adopted...' and word it the same as his original cache.

As others have said. I'd love to be able to gift a $10/3 month membership, or a $3/1 month membership. I'd also like to be able to do that over the phone to Groundspeak, and not have it be auto-renewing. I'd love to be able to pay, over the phone, by check routing numbers, or credit card, on a one-time buy. I'd love to be given an s-code whether it was paid for by PayPal or not so that my "gift" can be activated by whoever I give it to, whenever they want to activate it.

If there were a button to 'drop' off travel bugs, then you would have to select what bugs and enter what caches you want to put them into. The way it is, and the only logical way, is how it's done now. You write a log for a cache, and 'drop' that bug, or bugs, into that cache. No chance for major mistakes.

Um, Shouldn't the Pinned Groundspeak Notices > Geocaching Announcements have a link to this 1/13 update? I mean, people not paying attention might not have noticed that an update was made and it might look like there has not been any NEWS since Nov 13 2008, 10:09 AM

Slightly less usefull is to go to "Hide & Seek a Cache" on the left of any geocaching.com page. Click on "by Country:" Select your country, Canada. Select your province Saskatchewan since your country has sub search categories. You will then see all 1599 in your province, 20 per page with the newest on that first page, and the oldest on the last page. I say, "slightly less usefull" since there are no distances and directions doing this, so you have to click on a cache to fid out if it's close for very far away.

Also. If you JUST logged your find and then ran the PQ then you could be experiencing server sync time delays. One server at Groundspeak says you found it, but the pq generator server or the database server might not be fully up to date yet. Do not ever run your My Finds PQ until at least a half an hour after logging a bunch of finds. Unless you don't care to have that run of finds on your computer this week.

Are they exclusive? Or can you have 2000 and 1000 others for a total of 3000 points on your GPS?

I'm sure that if any area had 100 or more Wherigo's in a small area then there would be a lot of people asking to be able to ignore them.

Have you not read the many people saying "Why do you care about overlap?". If you design your pocket query "By Placed Date" there is NO overlap and ALL caches are obtained. Sure in your case it might still be 6 PQ's because of cache density. But you could get ALL caches in Ontario is 26 queries.

I think it should read, "They should contain a homemade signature stamp, onot a store bought assembly line stamp". I would use the should, since in this case many people use the crud that takes nothing but a buck, too bad they don't use their own homemade stamps like the true letterboxers do.

You are confusing membership and being logged-in. Nobody that is not logged in can see a profile. Believe me, we Non-Members can read anyones profiles, as long as we log in.

I think TWO is too many. The copy tag is just that, a copy in case the original is missing. If you place out more than one object with the same number you are asking for it to get locked down, I think that is the point when it would be done. Since as mentioned they do not actively look for this. But I'm asure in your case, now that you brought it up, you will be under more scrutiny.
