  1. I've stayed at Loretta Lynn's Ranch, it's unbelievable the hiking and such in the area. You'll have a great time whether you get 2 caches or 100.
  2. This law is quite pathetic on many levels. Appreciation of nature and the outdoors cannot and should not be deprived from someone because "they don't have children". Pure nonsense. I hate politicains.
  3. Excellent suggestion....I'm equipped...I'll see what I can do. Bret Still laughing.
  4. Peanut butter jars can work, as JV accounted. But if the cachers screws that cap on, and not "completely" and somehow that comes off its a mess. Ammo cans have a usually straight forward design, it's either open or closed. Lock n' Locks also have decently good reviews as far as water sealing.
  5. I hate bad news. Although, it is the cachers own fault for placing such a cache. I'm crossing my fingers that everything turns out ok for him.
  6. The "trading" topic has been beaten from Sacramento to Kathmandu and back. And for the most parts, the people you are crying on here to, aren't the culprits, and are already mad about the same thing in their area. If you have a question, post it, if you have a general rant and justify it by asking "Do you think this is right?" or something that is mosiacally changed to mean the same thing, please don't post. It just causes angst. As angst free, as a ninja could be.
  7. Ammo boxes work a little better than peanut butter jars. Because, they are more resistent to weather and animals. If there is any trace of food on the container, and animal will rip it apart, film canisters ARE NOT waterproof either. If you choose to go micro, make sure the log won't be soggy after a nice rain. Cache on!
  8. Oh, I cannot wait to winter cache! (Seriously!) I've seen all the fun people have, and no more jaggers or poison ivy. Out caching I found some caves I never knew existed not so far from my own house, and they were in between two multi-stages of a cache. I just hit 100 finds recently as well.
  9. Cleaning up them guns! I almost forgot until this was posted in a local group's forum. I swear I have alzheimer's.
  10. I recently attained the 100 milestone.
  11. This week has been great. Got some really fun caches in, done some much needed hiking, got down and did a stint on our local bike trail, ran a 5k, and have been keeping active on the forum boards. No complaints here. (Let's here some good upbeat stories about caching or anything related recently)
  12. I like the "Suspension" in the backpacking and the venting options. Works very nicely on a hot, long hike. I see that I am the only one here with a North Face backpack, whether or not that's a bad thing, I've yet to see.
  13. Let it go, maybe I'm just in the nonconfrontational mood today. People are going to trash geocaches, all we can do is sit in our seat, grit our teeth, and bear it.
  14. UPDATE! Due to finding the link in the pages, I can go 13 pages without seeing a found cache on that page.
  15. (Sigh of relief!) I actually thought someone crapped in your cache. I think there was one person somewhere down the line that actually did that called "The Mad Crapper". Back on topic. Team AO Ninja
  16. Hiders make the game, and break it. At the point when one cacher influences cache styles for a whole region, that have hidden too many. Variety is the spice of life, if there are too many of one thing, it gets quite boring to be honest. I'm addressing the "Title" rather than the OP, because the OP's argument sounded more like a "Hide more caches that I like, and if you like them too bad." Which is kind of OT of his on post. Find all types of caches in moderation, that will keep your "fire" going. (Team AO Ninja)
  17. Mountainsmith a big name in packing?
  18. Ziploc works quite well. Garbage bags and other such things are nasty when wet and/or dirty.
  19. Alot of caches is the problem. When people place 10 caches in one day. They show up on people lists as unfound. Naturally they want to find closer to home caches with gas prices. So if in one day 10 caches popped up right in front of your cache spot, then it will take longer. Patience is key, make cache pages SO enticing that the reader just has to find the cache and see this awesome spot. Planning a great cache is hard to do, but always carry a notebook. I was sitting reading a backpacking magazine the other day and had a good idea for a halloween themed cache. Half of the story on the cache page, the other half laminated and placed inside the cache.
  20. My gut feeling, is that they will treat the cache as any other cache that is available to them. All of my caches will be open to all cachers. If the cache is any fun to find, why restrict people and make them pay. Most of the finders will most likely be new, they will become premium if your cache was nice enough and they want to support a hobby they choose to take part in.
  21. Are you crazy? I would go bonkers. I would probably mark SPAM on the emails if I recieved THAT many logs in my email per day. But that's just me.
