You can buy them at Lee Valley . . .this where I got mine recently and they are crazy strong! And dirt cheap!

I thought 10:1 would be a good one so we are using that as a bench mark. . .we just hit 70 so its time to hide our 7th. As we log more finds it might not be do-able.

Just two weeks ago we found a letterbox about 40 feet from a cache that had disappeared after some tree trimming. I said to one of my entourage. . ."Gee that looks like a great place to hide a cache". . .he hopped over for a look and found JollyRogers letterbox. That was neat!

15.) If it doesn't look right, it aint right 16.) Lots of bees together sound like an electrical hum

ARE YOU SERIOUS?? I can barely balance my checkbook. . .Physics wooo hoooo that is too funny. . .I really think you are yanking my chain. Let me just ask Number One to slow the Enterprise way down so Jordy can help me answer that question before the warp core reactor blows. . . .

This was the SCARIEST one of all. . .I vote it should be deleted. . .oh my vote probably doesn't count now either. . .

True, but whenever some of us find an "illegal" CD in a cache, we remove it, destroy it, and toss it into the nearest garbage pail. I hope you know first that the CD is illegal. . .If I spent 5 bucks down loading my 5 fav songs (99cents a pop at comcast) on to a CD for this cache and you destroyed it thinking it was illegal you would just be destroying a valid trade item! So how do you know it is illegal? And who gave you permission to destroy them??

Thanks for the link! And by the way, the cacher in the case which I mentioned earlier did not die, but ended up with some serious injuries, according to the reports which I have read. Someone has already scheduled an event cache in Mr Chamberlin's name: In Memory of Mr. James Max Chamberlain edited because I didn't read enough

For punishment, August after a moring shower in Dallas Texas. . . for fun, whatever that temperture is that as long as I keep moving I stay warm without a jacket but if I stop it's chilly. dd dreaming of caching but having to work

I wish I had this advice when I was 16, would have saved me some heartache. . .

Just me.

I agree. Because we are probably not at all the "picture of a cacher". We have been together 10 years, my significant other teaches Bible Study and is a deacon at our church, we are couch potatoes when we are not caching, and except for caching I am not a big fan of the "outdoors". I actually loved air conditionoing and running water but caching takes me out of my element. We love God, the great State of Texas, our dogs, our families, and the Amazing Race. She loves the Cowboys and Sci-fi. I love scrapbooking and shopping.

volumes I and II no doubt!

mr tank I can see where you are coming from even as a "newbie" myself. When I first found this site I could not wait to even get a GPS to go find my first cache (and I did find it without one). I got a GPS and was all eager to hide a cache after finding a couple. Then I found Sandbass's world famous "Spinning Wheel" and I was inspired. . .I was inspired to cool my jets and really think about what would be really creative. I think people rush out to hide a cache not to be annoying or anything but just out of excitement and rush to be part of the game. I still have not hidden my first one but I have bought parts! LOL. dyke diva princess

You go girl (you jack-booted government thug). Watch out for Rita! mr tank-are you saying it's not possible to be both a jack booted govt thug and a diva?? Trust me it is. . .just like I'm sure a guy as sweet as you can still be sept1c tank. . . We dodged Rita -- thanks!!

I think it says it all. . .actually most of my friends think that I really do believe I am a "princess". . . and I do so there ya go.

I am sure your furry buddy cherishes the times you had and is very thankful to have a companion as wonderful as you! I lost my Fatboy in March and miss him a lot. You two were lucky to have each other even if only for 6 years! I'll send one up for you!! DD

I am so sorry. Look, this is your world Hank, I'm just in it. I just wanted clarification about what I do so that I could sleep at night with peace in my heart that I did not JACK up your game by doing something I thought was OK in my game. I apologize a thousand times if I offended you . . .thanks for the great advice to wade back through the 5 pages I just read to find an answer I obviously did not feel like I got. Perhaps I don't get the SPIRIT of the rules but I got the SPIRIT of your message. DD

You can give a WG bill to anyone you want... it all depends on what they do with it. If it's friends/family that you directly handed a bill to, they can't enter it. Or they can enter it if you haven't entered it first. Just ask yourself this question: "Do I need Where's George? to tell me where this bill goes next?". If it's obvious, then the answer is "No, I don't.. I gave this bill to my brother as part of a bet." If you are curious how natural circulation works and where your bill might end up, the anwer is "Yes.. I spent this bill having no idea where it will end up next.. I'd like WG to let me know the next time it surfaces". Common sense, people. Common sense. OK Hank, I love WG, just got a stamp yesterday as a matter of fact. . .I love geocaching too. I have no geocaching friends (sniff, sniff) so just let me know this: If I leave a WG dollar or 3 in a cache so maybe the next cacher can get batteries, gatorade, a beer or these days a whole gallon of gas and I don't know them then that is OK??? I'm just checking because if I have to give up one hobby I have to go with the one that gets my big ole booty off the sofa. . .for the love of George I just want to be in compliance!!!

Only if you PROMISE not to got to www.wheresgeorge.com and log it!!

Every bill on WG that is tagged as a GC bill has a link and icon to geocaching.com. I might not agree with it all, but like I said, I'm not going to ruin everyone elses day by competely banning the practice and deleting all traces of GC Bills on WG. I'm not here to make enemies and fight with people... I'm just trying to educate everyone on why the state of things are they way they are now, and how to properly use the site. Each site feeds alot of new users to the other, and there's nothing wrong with that. Example GC bill: http://www.wheresgeorge.com/report.php?key...c7f5a57831be098 I understand the whole "using the bill as a travel bug" but I think we are talking two different things. . .If I take an item from a cache and leave a WG$ my intent is for the person to spend it not take it to another cache, actually that never occured to me until this thread (but I am new to this). I can see how using a WG$ for a travelbug is violating the rules of WG but just leaving a dollar instead of yet another McToy with intent for the person to spend it I don't get. Isn't that still natural circulation just like if I walked up to a stranger on the street and gave them a dollar because they asked? Just curious.

I think the ONLY thing with placing a WG$ in a cache is that you are assured (almost always) the person will log it. The rules say you are not supposed to know the person and as of yet I have yet to meet one single cacher. As a person who has logged some WG$ in the day I really do not see what the big issue is. . .but hey it aint my website or my rules so I guess it's kinda like people not following the directions on this site. The real rub is I learned about geocaching from the WG website!! DD

I am soooooo terrifed of bees/wasps/hornets that I get teary eyed even reading this thread. . .I don't even like cartoon bees!! Thankfully, I have not run into any nests as that might end my caching career. I'm a weenie.

Only if the spouse left behind is that insecure. or uninsured. . .

"I need to eat excessively to even keep at a healthy weight." WHAT?!!??!! Is it flaming to say that I HATE you? I can't run 3.1k in 23 hours much less minutes. . .I want that kind of metabolism. . .if I walk by a Krispy Cream I gain weight from the calories in the air. UGH! but I am still cute. . .no self esteem issues here. . .ROFLMBO!
