    Old Tag

    I couldn't find an answer to my question, so I'm going to ask. Markwell if you must. Can you take an old tag & make put it on a different bug? Someone took the Tb but let the tag. It was mailed to me & I'd like to use it for another tb. Can this be done & how, The missing bug is in the Graveyard. Please help. rocker51
  3. Now to create a new TB with an old tag. Going on vacation will read or look for the forum on how to do so when I return. Guess someone needed Stitch Rocks (from a McToy) to finish collection. Happy & Safe Caching to all rocker51
  4. Agree with all. As I'm a born Floridian too!! TICKS are at they're height in April & May. So don't forget the deet. Just be careful & remember you are entering the TROPICS. Watch where you put your hands. Dad taught me that. Walk in the middle of the path(snakes like to sun on the sides.) Granny taught me that. And if you hear a rattle, be very still! It will move on if you leave it alone. More people are biten by snakes trying to kill them, then just ignoring them. YES!!!! And please do not feed the gators. It makes them unafraid of humans. Then when people get bit by one for being stupid,,,, the gator is put down. Also Squirrels & Gulls can be a big PAIN if you feed them. Yea they're cute, but not hopping all aver you for food. Or the gulls swooping down at you for food. ( They do NOT attacking) Just get a little excited. We also have stinging nettels. They have a white flower & have been nicknamed "The Seven Year Itch." DO NOT TOUCH OUCH!!!!!!!! Oh yea, our Raccoons are daytime critters. A real pain in the ____.....DON'T FEED THEM EITHER. (not shouting). They get aggressive & the highest carrier of rabies in Florida. So come on down & enjoy yourselves. Just heed the advice, and take the signs seriously, & you will be & do just fine. Not trying to scare ya, just making ya aware. ! Happy & Safe Caching rocker51
  5. A good example for trading up. See below rocker give to the world the best you have, and the best will come back to you. ...............MaryAinge deVere
  6. What are watchers? Sorry I'm not up on that one. The only watchers I know are on Highlander.......... But one thing I do know is, that no matter what the icons look like, some will approve & some won't. Known fact. Can't please everyone. Although I do think the icons for the micro's should be different. JMO. Happy & Safe Caching....... Or change the words a little for Micro's. EX> Traditional Cache-M or something like that. At least you would know the if the traditional cache is a micro or regular. Just a thought. rocker51 give to the world the best you have, and the best will come back to you. ...............MaryAinge deVere
  7. I like that idea Jeremy. WE have some great pictures, but I'm sure a lot of cachers do. That's to bad about Nature's Conservancy. I use to belong, because they buy the land, & without the land you can't save any critters. World Wildlife Fund. Trail-to-Trail. Or The ASPCA. I also like the idea of giving to the NP's. Hopefully they would change views about us. And of course being a GRITS, The Everglades program could sure use some help, as The State Parks. That would include everyone. rocker give to the world the best you have, and the best will come back to you. ...............MaryAinge deVere
  8. I have read so many things about do's & don't on ticks, chiggers, ect. It changes all the time as new items become available on the market. Where you are going is the biggest factor. No reason to put on 100% deet if you do city parks. Cause it burns. And when you sweat, it really burns. Some people duct tape their cuffs to socks & shoes. I carry several types with me, as each generation becomes ammune. It may not be the safest thing to do, so I'm not recommemending it to anyone. But seems no matter what ya do, at least one will find an opening & make that touchdown. Sometimes it takes about two weeks before you even know one is on you. They are micro's & then as they feed, of course they begin to grow & BAM......Got that sucker. rocker give to the world the best you have, and the best will come back to you. ...............MaryAinge deVere
  9. This topic has really dragged on & on. I (JMHO) think CP is the better person in all of this. It's his cache. He has decided to what he's going to do. I find honesty in that. Which makes him the better person. But like I said..JMHO>>> Mesu hope you keep your word. And this should not cause any reason for you to delete CP's finds. He seems to be a very true person, which makes me feel that he would only log a cache as being found if he indeed did. Happy & Safe Caching To All!!! rocker give to the world the best you have, and the best will come back to you. ...............MaryAinge deVere
  10. Not that I know of. But I fall down a lot. Or fall off my bike. Which ever comes first. A day caching without me falling down is like a day without sunshine. rocker give to the world the best you have, and the best will come back to you. ...............MaryAinge deVere
  11. yep!!!! i like to see the leave & takes too!! Gives ya an idea of what cachers want. Or what you need to get rid of. rocker give to the world the best you have, and the best will come back to you. ...............MaryAinge deVere
  12. I have The Beatles SPLHCB, but ya ain't gettin' that one. So I'll have to see what else is hangen' around. rocker give to the world the best you have, and the best will come back to you. ...............MaryAinge deVere
  13. Don't forget lil otter lives up there. rocker ps one of my TB's ended up in her cache up there. The same one she grabbed in the Keys & dropped off in Miami. I think he's in La. State now. give to the world the best you have, and the best will come back to you. ...............MaryAinge deVere
  14. Just what JetSkier said. rocker give to the world the best you have, and the best will come back to you. ...............MaryAinge deVere
  15. Not the same as it is back home is it?? Glad you enjoyed yourself. I don't think you hit any of our caches. Maybe next time. Happy & Safe Caching ron50eli&rocker51 give to the world the best you have, and the best will come back to you. ...............MaryAinge deVere
  16. We are now in the heart of TICK & REDBUG (chiggers)season. So be prepared. Skeeters & sandgnats will be here for a while. give to the world the best you have, and the best will come back to you. ...............MaryAinge deVere
  17. IMO this is getting nowhere. Grandfathered in or not. Or what ever the case may be, looks like all Interstate caches will get achieved if DOT says so. Not Jeremy. This site isn't going down because of him either. It's because he has to make rules that some people find hard to follow. That's the breaks. Permission means ask before doing. Let's face it. The real truth here is???????? rocker give to the world the best you have, and the best will come back to you. ...............MaryAinge deVere
  18. geomaineiacs, Well that's a first. I can't believe you didn't get slammed big time with that question. You acually got some decent answers. Stunod's was great. That's why a compass should be a part of your caching gear. Very Important in my book. searching-ut's was very well put. You will find that to be very true. And georgeandmary's advise should be well heeded. Just have fun. You will get very frustrated at times, but that will pass. Next thing ya know, your a pro. Enjoy the game/hobbie. You will be lead toplaces that you never thought existed. Happy & Safe Caching. And as always my comment are JMO. rocker give to the world the best you have, and the best will come back to you. ...............MaryAinge deVere
  19. Most of the replies to this touchy subject are fair & honest. I think Captain Morgan has done his best to go more than half way with Mesu. Most owners of a cache wouldn't even consider what CM has proposed to Mesu. It would have been deleted already. JMO........I think Cap.M. is a good example of fairness. Wish he had caches in my area cause I would try to hit them all. He has offered Mesu everything within reason on this. Mesu only has to wait until The Captain gets the cache fixed, & he has his find. Very simple. If Mesu doesn't want to travel the miles again, then he should just delete the find. What is one no find. If he is willing to travel the miles again, he's In Like FLINT. Just sign the log. No recalculating, more steps, ect. If I were Mesu, I would change my find to a NOTE & explain why. When the cache is back up, go out there, sign the log book & that's that. Like I said. JMO. I live in Florida & many, many cachers print-out before they leave on vacation. Then once they get here & go to the cache area or find a PC to log they're find, they then find out it's been archieved or temp. disabled. BUT they still log as found. I don't know what % of caches that have achieved are removed. But it must not be many, as the finder on vacation can still log in the book. I know tha's alittle of topic just a point. I'm making this tooooo long. Mesu, Captain Morgan has given you a choice that is very rare, why don't you take it? And if it comes down to him having to delete your find, is losing one all that big of a deal. I know you have your reasons. But this is only a game/hobbie.......don't be the parent that beat up the other parent because his son lost. Be a good sport & change the find to a note. You will sleep better. rocker give to the world the best you have, and the best will come back to you. ...............MaryAinge deVere
  20. Amen!!! But one bad apple spoils the bunch. I'm refering to the cachers that don't like the rules to the game, so they do it their way anyway, & give others a bad rap. I don't agree with some of the rules, but I still follow them. And no I'm not a SAINT. ROCKER give to the world the best you have, and the best will come back to you. ...............MaryAinge deVere
  21. Boy oh Boy oh BOY......... Everyone is entitled to they're opinion, but the rules are the rules. Too many don't follow them. Weather you like them or not, if you want to play the game, play it right, or don't play at all. Because of the selfishness of some cachers, who want it their way, geocaching will be outlawed everywhere. Bash me if you most, but you know who you are & that I'm right. Rather I think I am anyway. Jeremy has the patience of Job. I wouldn't be able to handle most of the crap some cachers put out. Whine.Whine.....Whine.

  22. Activate it in the cache it's in now & send it on it's way. I found one in my cache that wasn't activated. Didn't know that & it went from FL. to Ga. It didn't start raking milage until grabbed in Ga. Which also show it's starting point. When it really started in Fl.

  24. i believe LORAN was out back then. i know we had one in my boat to find fishing spots,rock piles ledges etc, on the gulf of mexico where i live. not sure if it was exactly 20 yrs. ago but it was quite some time and before gps became about , at least for civilian use. they were not real accurate things 300 feet or so as i remember. i'm in the over half century club ,so my memory isn't all it used to be i'm not even sure if they would work on the land if geocaching was an option back then. sure glad i have a gps now and geocaching to keep me happy
