I was on a cache in my local area and saw a BEAR! Seeing a snake the day before made me wonder and a coyote scouting for one I'm going to place...what kind of dangerous wildlife have you guys encountered?
-
Isn't there a GPS & Software forum?
I use EasyGPS for mine, maybe yours is a lemon if it doesn't work on that, if so and it's still in the "30 days" category, take it back and get another one.
-
Ok, I'm done with this. I retract all comments I've made. You guys really hurt me the shots I've taken all day. I can only sit here and wonder what kind of "welcoming" sport is this? Well
if someone knows how to shut down this thread, please inform me. signing outthe only one who cared
-
I feel like you guys exploit everytihng I say, which makes me watch every ingle word I type in here so that it's not offensive. So, why do you doubt my hating of statistical value, when you yourself like statistics? I don't even need this nonsense. "well,that explains it" dadadadada
get high on urself by stupid comebacks but we're getting no where with wiping out micros!!!!
there are bad! they're ruining caching as it is today! if i remember this caching was started with a non-micro on a hike!
regardless! how can u change the sport?! variety is bad, virtual, webcam, all of these are bad.
keep it to traditional, multi caching, and letterboxing and there will never be another geocaching problem and the sport will be more competitive if we made it impossible to do more than 1 or 2 geocaches a day no 91 in 13 hours!!!
Well, since you have only been caching 2-3 weeks, no wonder you don't remember the first cache very well. It was no hike. You could drive (if you were old enough) almost right up to it. It was a bucket, so it was easy to find. By your flawed logic, all caches SHOULD be a 1/1 then, like the original cache was.
As for geocaching being a "sport" and making it more competitive: those are words the people who care about numbers use. Geocaching is NOT competitive, and is NOT a sport. Sports have stats, and sports are competitive. Sports are all about the numbers.
Ok, smartoff, listen I can't drive for one. Another thing, who cares, I can go 10 times farther than you can, or anyone here. I condition myself for these things. With the right gear almost anyone can go anywhere. Why do we not use the topic as argument rather than my character, and belittling things I do, you people are little footnotes on what I will be.

CreekFalls, or Team Alpha Omega, my suggestion is that you should go out and find 25 to 30 more different types of caches then come back and discuss this further.
And, may I ask, how would that even change the opinion? Is it not true that if you find 800 you can find 900? No matter how many I have found, would it not be true that if you can think and have a GPS and have the ability to get to the geocache, you can find geocaches. Tonite has just proved to me that peopel are just as closed minded as I could ever imagine. Just because you've found 200, does that mean your any better of a geocacher than me? I'm all for team geocaching. Maybe like a race or soemthing, to prove who is the best geocachers, and whether numbers TRULY matter in this game of outdoors skill that has no place for micros in wal*mart parking lot.
Actually, I found my first seven caches without a GPS unit.
The point is, according to your forum title, that it is not about the numbers. It is about the level of interest one wants to put into this activity or the physical capability of the cacher and what s/he can accomplish.
i found the creek falls without a gps and i found it without even using the roads he gave me and by myself, and im 14......
so dont be fool of urself...thats my job
Well, that explains it.
good one peachy.

Real geocachers don't do anything less than a 6/6.
I guess then that I have to repeat myself...I am not a REAL cacher since due to physical limitations at the time I can only do 1/1?
Actually, I said that the cache's like 1/1's are only good if they have a scenic value, good camping spot, fishing spot, picnic area, etc.. if you read behind you will find that i did say that but retracted it.....
lets get back on topic!!!!!
why micros?

July 4 by Team AlphaOmega (3 found)This is Matt, formerly CreekFalls90, I changed the cache and is now a painted coffee can to its background so now not as blatant to the eye, but the coordinates will get you there. Good luck!
Took the rest of the team, found it without much problems.
actually "morpar" i'm in a team now....imagine that...i mean my new screen name is team, but hey!, it would only take a brain to deduce that..(im sorry, i hate this constant shots at me) the other members, if u can indeed read, found it, i tagged along behind, because i infact changed it a week after it came out. Yellow or not, these people who find it have trouble it's not sitting in plain daylight. of course you would know since you've been there. Maybe you need to check your facts before you use them. (cough cough) I saw that, and I stand by my opinion that in 4yrs of caching MOST of your peers (Guys like Questmaster) would consider claiming a find on a cache you hid, no matter if it was a different team member, would be considered extremely lame. Many would label you a cheater. But then, since the numbers don't matter, why log a find at all? Why not a note?
Ok, I don't like stats, my team does, they think that it's all in good fun, and it'll go along with the name. I don't care what you think, because i think youre just a s much ofa fraud. i mean look at the people leaving thesse comments, same people whol hide 74 micros in a stop sign.

Tonite has just proved to me that peopel are just as closed minded as I could ever imagine.
Yes you are.
I'm sorry, but I really can't take you seriously with your icon. I laugh everytime I see it, that comment might of phased me if I didn't see someone in that costume typing that to me.

Last week I was trapped in a hotel in another state without a car for a few hours. I got in contact with a local cacher who came and picked me up and we spent the next few hours doing about 20 urban micos. Most were probably lame, but I was having too much fun to care. And isn't that a part of geocaching too?
PS: I spent the weekend with the same geocacher doing a bunch of high terrain caches, and had just as much fun.
I suppose it was 105 outside and you encountered Rattlesnakes.
OT: This thread is running on and on. It would seem that stubborness will prevent the point from getting across.
No, MUCH hotter!
And by rattlesnakes do ya mean this cute, cuddly little fella?
WOW, 105? SO WHAT?!
It doesn't matter how far you've got, it matter how much farther you can go.

I don't like Burger King or Arby's, it not my personal perference.
but I don't go around dogging people for building them or eating there.
See?
Hey, I like those places. But not for caching. Caching is my sort of way of an outdoor adventure. C'mon, what do you get out of finding one in the Wal*Mart parking lot? I mean, if it was regular, you could read the log signs and swap stuff, but micros? No use in my opinion.
You might want to get the feel for this before you start to judge others. I see the first and only cache that you placed was in a bright yellow can in the open?
I'd rather hunt for a Wal-Mart cache. Also you have one find, so you may be a little early to be a judge on what makes a good cache.
Hang in there and we'll teach you how to be a good cacher.

By the way, it's not yellow. If you looked for it, you'd wish it was.
Not yellow now because you went back and changed it. See...you do learn as you go. Just rebember God gave you 2 ears and 2 eyes, and one mouth. That way you can do twice as much listening and watching than talking.
El Diablo
Now maybe the "expert" on quality geocaching will learn that "finding" a cache you hid is lamer then any micro!

I guess I would have to agree with that, hey El Diablo, I don't want this to draw anything off topic but I was reading your magazine thing online and I think it's a good step in the right direction, contrary to what I've been fighting about for the lat 12-13 hours on here. Your magazine is what I'm looking for in this sport, a step ahead.
Good Job! -

Why don't I ever get these jokes about me? It's like they're in another language!!
Oh, ease up there buddy.
The problem is coming here and expecting results/change with the Lame cache issue.
You totally lost me

Put it another way - You'll never find a convenience store at the top of Mt. Rainier.
Haha...true.

Ok, we're really getting off topic. I know that I may seem to be a troll, but really I'm trying to ask why do people seem to prefer hiding micros in a Burger King drive thru than at a nie pcinic spot in a mountain meadow, hike doesn't have to be so. But the value of the area itself should be what makes a GOOD cache. A good camping spot doesn't have to be in the middle of the woods, maybe a back road can get you right there. This has nothing to do with people's ability as it does with what they want to search for. Why such urban micros like Arby's cache?
-
by the way! i found that from your link on your profile page.
Yea, but what does that have to do with trolling? It's just a picture, it has a bridge which I guess means that trolls live under it. I'm sick of you people like saying lingo I don't understand behind my back
But then its really not our fault you dont understand, is it?
It is if you take a picture of me, tell me it's a troll, then not explain how it's a troll.

What is that supposed to mean? That is the BB4L gang.

A troll is someone who comes into a forum to stir up emotions by making outrageous statements. Then when confronted and slammed claim innocence.
I am not a troll, read the whole thing, other peopel stirred, I'm just a hot tempered person.
