  1. Happy to have you. The more the merrier.
  2. We have been caching more because of rising gas prices. Our other hobby involves hitching our 1-ton pickup to a 36 foot long horsetrailer and going camping 200 miles away. We haven't been doing that very much. Caching is cheaper!
  3. Oh, girl, I am right there with ya!!! I LOVE Gerard Butler!! I sew historic costumes as a sideline and watch movies with great costumes while I sew. I've only seen Phantom like 500 times! And I sing right along every time.... But if my darling husband or Jerry Butler weren't available, SpyVsSpy is pretty cute. And single. And his kids are cute, too.
  4. KYOWVA got hit last week, too. (Kentucky, Ohio, West Virginia geocachers)
  5. Hi! Maggieszoo here. I'm thinking of getting a geocaching club together for the Scioto Valley in South Central Ohio. Would you be interested in being a part of it? I'm not sure what we would do as a club, probably organize an event or two a year and maybe a meet and eat every couple of months for fun. Maybe we could help each other watch over our cache hides. Coaster offered us server space on the geocacheohio.com site for forum chatting and news unless someone wants to handle web duties. I'm not that techno savvy. Let me know what you think. Maggie
  6. Amtrak goes from NYC to DC. Rent a car from there.
  7. Me too. I like the geocaching ready features on mine. Sometimes I wish I had a mapping capability, but it works just fine for what I need.
  8. Ha! I was hoping for a little corner on page 9 for the event. Front page completely blew me away! She misquoted me a little, but not bad. At least I was wearing a clean shirt. I had been out all day working on the event caches.
  9. There was an article on the front page of Monday's Chillicothe Gazette about geocaching. It got more space than the dead guy they found in the river! See This Story
  10. I'd love to play. Can it get to Ohio?
  11. You are lucky. The bug you found had a bug sheet. The one I found had only a zip tie around its neck to tell me it was a TB. It took a bit of research to figure out his identity, but he is Clifford-Let's Go Tubin'. He has been mailed back home. And just in time. The cache I found him in was archived later that day. He would have been dismissed as just another toy.
  12. I am in southern Ohio where the buzzards pass through twice a year! Spooky, very spooky. I'd be happy to send a bug on its way from here. Of course, almost every bug I've ever released or picked up has gone straight to Michigan.
  13. If you are in southern Ohio, I can give you a list of quite a few horse accessible caches. Also, watch for two new caches placed just for horsemen. They will be up in the trees at rider height, so hikers will need to be tall or carry something to stand on! Does that make it a 5 terrain?
  14. Generally, when one is planning to attend an event and has a TB they want to move, they log it into the event beforehand. When they get there, it will get put in a box of TB's or just added to the pile in the middle of the table. Attendees go through the TB's and grab any they can help in their mission. When they get home, they log them and move them as one normally would. Events are a nice way to move bugs with exotic goals. There are lots of people that may be going on vacation or know cachers in other places that can move TB's to states/countries they want to go.
  15. When you log the cache you drop it in, at the bottom of the screen below the text box you will see a box marked "my inventory" or "did you drop any travel bugs?" or something like that. Click on the name of the bug that you dropped, then click the submit button. All done!
  16. NTWF Xtreme JAKES is a contest similar to the Jeep TB game, but there is only one bug!! It is currently in Wisconsin. Can someone send it to Ohio, so we can play here? Yeah, I know......just a few of us with turkey hunting kids that would like the chance to play here. If it gets here, we'll drop it in a TB motel near the Bass Pro store, so it can get to another state for another kid to play.
  17. You can leave whatever you want as a sig item (well, anything family friendly). You can put as much or as little as you'd like on it. A few local cachers' sig items are a lizard, a quartz crystal point, a polished stone, a plastic fireman, a happy face ping pong ball, and our wooden nickel. Most of these don't even have the cacher's name on them, we just know that Mr Bloodhound leaves firemen, Crystal Sound leaves quartz, Harry Meister leaves stones, and ASB (also known as Salamander) leaves lizards. There is nothing wrong with leaving someone else's sig piece as a trade item. I have found my wooden nickels in caches I've not visited before and thought "Wow! That's kinda neat!" BTW, my wooden nickels are wooden blanks I bought on a wooden nickel website with a picture printed on heavy cardstock, cut out with a hole punch (1" round), glued onto the nickel blank, then sealed with polyurethane spray. I usually paint the blanks first with spray paint. Last year's were blue with a photo of our deceased Belgian mare, Sis. This year's will be green with photo of Sis' daughter Belgian Waffle for my husband, Wafflesdad, or blue with a picture of my Clydesdale mare Bonnie the Clyde for me.
  18. It's been published!! June 10, Waverly Ohio, be there or be square! Harry Potter's Hogwarts Holiday
  19. Our electric coop magazine had an article about letterboxing this month. All of my friends at work keep leaving me copies and saying, "is this what you do?". Well, close......
  20. Welcome James! Check out the list of organizations. There are a couple in your area that have pretty regular events. I've been to events with SWOGO and always have a good time.
  21. Still nothing? Everyone else has really cool avatars but me....... Hmmm.. a penguin on a horse... Cute! The horse even looks a bit like my Bonnie the Clyde.
  22. I have one that involves visiting a number of other caches to retrieve clues. It does work best if the clue is more or less permanently fixed to the container. Of course, you know the container will immediately go missing! One of mine did! Some of the caches are mine, some aren't. I got permission from the other hiders to use their caches, and in one case, was asked if I would use their cache! I know of one cache in Columbus Ohio where you have to watch a movie for the clues to the cache. A copy of the movie is a TB! And Netflix doesn't have it, I checked.
  23. Welcome!! Keep an eye open for a get together in Pike County this month! It will be listed as an event. I'm looking at maybe the 24th. Just need to find a place to have it.
  24. You may want to put a note in the baggie with the bug stating the new destination, since you are so selfish that you won't drive 800 miles to deliver a toy!! Seriously, if the owner wants it back, put a note on/with the bug to help it along its journey. There are those that say changing a tb in any way is wrong, but the owner wants it back, so how else to do it? That's what I would do, anyway. Flame on.
  25. I have been known to do grab/drop bugs. I didn't realize it was a bad thing. I enjoy seeing where they've been and where they go after I've "met" them, but sometimes I know I won't be caching for awhile and don't want them languishing in my cache bag. If I have to type in the tracking number to see where they've been, I may as well grab/drop them. Also, the owner gets an email saying their bug still exists!
