[What is your geocaching outfit?]

All your clothing sound fancy-

 

I wear a plain dull coloured t-shirt or long-sleeve, plain khaki/taupe shorts and sneakers, and a beanie when it gets chilly. Nothing fancy

I found a list on some blog- lost the paper I wrote the URL on

List of spell checkers for different browsers.

 

I don't require them though- woo hoo

[geocache pages]

Apologies

[geocache pages]

It's a pain in the butt. You used to be able to instantly see if a cache even had a gallery. Now you have to scroll, and some pages can be very long.

Personally, I do not find this to be a MAGOR problem.

Sorry, couldn't help myself

in the area where i live the maps on the main geocaching.com map page: MapQuest, CloudMade, OpenStreetMap, OpenCycleMap are not correct and/or outdated - google, bing and even yahoo have current maps

 

Ask The Seagnoid. He did extensive mapping of his area after having a similar problem. Half of what you see there was done by him.

Just wondering-

When reading an average cache description, it is usually well written. But sometimes, there are caches with spelling mistakes. True, these may be typos, but when writing a cache description recently I spelt a word wrong, and I knew something was wrong. It took me days to find it (the error). Is there a spell check on the website [cache placement form]? It frustrates me while proofreading, as the misspelt words are not easily spotted.

["Caches for the sake of caches"]

All I was trying to say was that caches for the numbers are OK, but when they ruin good spots, it annoys me.

["Caches for the sake of caches"]

I am disappointed with the many low value caches being published. By this I mean caches with descriptions of "Cache is a small container stuck on the back of/under a sign/seat (whereever)" which are placed in great locations full of history, but make no attempt to mention the spot. Disappoints me, when the placer could have put some effort into finding the history of the place, or to make it a memorable find.

 

It annoys me, especially when it is in a great spot, as there was a cemetery near my home which I was eyeing up for a Multi cache, when someone placed a cache with the description "Cache is a 200 ml sistema container painted green. I couldn't place it at (undisclosed location) because it was too close to a cache. So I moved it to (undisclosed location) but it was too close to a mystery cache. This was the first place I was able to place it.". They improved it a bit later, but still no history on the place. And to quote the placing guidelines-

 

When you go to hide a geocache, think of the reason you are bringing people to that spot. If the only reason is for the geocache, then find a better spot." – briansnat

I would add to that "or give it some history"

If I could I would "dislike the cache" which is not a feature on GC.com- Yet?

 

Has anyone else noticed this?
