Ok....lol..who's ace? Know it all after one find? Hmm....I wish there were competitions of outdoorsman skill. Because I hear that all the time. But caching, is all about outdoors, so if you hunt, camp, hike, ALLL THE TIME i guess that would aid you using your gps and being a good cacher. and maybe im 14 and can't drive to these things.

Eh? Micros about numbers? Maybe they should be easier to find then. BTW I like junkyards, urban homeless areas, and other places that some people hate. Location, location, location, yes, but tastes vary. I happen to like seeing the interesting aspects of all of the world I live in. Not just the Ansel Adams photo ops. Ansel Adams?

1/1's are pathetic hands down. Gimme a 5/5. If someone found 8,000 5/5's i'll be impressed. but not 8,000 micros. and not 91 in 13 hours.

Ok, enough of the haste. My biggest point that hopefully may prevent another Eckerd cache. This sport is about "location, location, location" micros are most often about "numbers numbers numbers". Maybe there should be another sport lke geocaching based around numbers and Olive Garden micros, but geocaching is about location.

Without a doubt, I'm one of the biggest noobs in the system. But what drew me into this sport, is the outdoors adventure. I'm sure Indiana Jones isn't going to these "Wal Mart Micros" ....This game isn't about finding a CACHE!!!!!! IT'S MORE ABOUT "Ultimately you'll want to place a cache in a place that is unique in some way. The big reward for geocachers, other than finding the cache itself, is the location. A prime camping spot, great viewpoint, unusual location, etc. are all good places to hide a cache. " Don't lead me to a Lowe's store in Willburton, West Virginia to see where uncle jebadiah lost his only tooth.

Numbers mean ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in this game. And if you do in fact think that they do, you are just as crazy as the people looking for these micros in the Mcdonalds drive thru.

thats sounds like a good idea. but it would be impossible to accomplish and to accomplish fairly.

Rewarded?? What did they win? http://grand_high_pobah.home.comcast.net/Rank1-125.html ^This

my father's 60cs has absolutely no problem getting there. maybe a gps with a digital compass would help because then when im travelling sw it wont says im goin ne.....haha i hate glitches

the sad thing is, crime, stealing caches, and things like this will happen in a sport like this, where an unguarded "treasure chest" sits in the woods. and with coordinates children can get to them, and if they're by themselves risks occur. this is a great sport, and most cachers are honest people that want some adventure, it's a shame things like this have to happen.

Maybe this "World Ranking" should be based, on scenic value, and things like location! A person who has found 8,000 micro's in their K-Mart parking lot shouldn't be rewarded!

Team AlphaOmega, has no signifigance rather than someone might figure out that it means the beginning and the end. Which then would represent that this team will last through anything. I'm looking for a 5/5 in my SW PA area. IF ANYONE READ THIS IN THAT AREA>>>MAKE ONE!!!! We're all about the challenge. CreekFalls90 is just my forum name, named after the waterfalls in my backyard.

But, why would I waste gas to see view of cars in a parking lot just so I can say I got a find. My point is that, if a cache has no value to you rather than one more on your list....why is it even there to clutter my closest cache search page?

Last night, I stumbled over a forum about why simple micro's in Wal*Mart parking lots are ruining the sport. Then i stumbled upon the World Ranking of Geocachers according to finds. This sport is turning into a game of numbers, and less about location. When I go to a cache, I'm looking for a nice view, beautiful setting, or soemthing unusual I can't find in normal life. I live in a VIBRANT caching area, in SW Pennsylvania. And a very good example of a good geocache hider is "QuestMaster". What is the direction of this sport? and what can we do if it's turning in the wrong direction?

I've researched up and down Garmin and Magellan. Currently I own a Garmin eTrex Legend, and I'm looking to upgrade. My GPS, makes me run circles around the cache most of the time, and is a real pain once you get within 200 feet. With all the biasses out on the market, my question is, for Geocaching, what is the best model that is affordable? (Affordable being <$300)
