Hmmm... What about a troll?
only good for caches hidden under bridges - or in michigan anything in the lower peninsula (below the bridge)
-
My only issue with cemetery caches (and remember, there are no A's buried in cemeteries) is that they are usually too easy to be a satisfactory challenge. I have absolutely no compunction about visiting a cemetery - there is nothing disrespectful about visiting the dead.
-
I have a pair of good-quality FRS radios that I take along when caching with my wife or a friend - good for checking out two legs of a tail fork at one time and things like that. They get used very rarely, however, and I would definitely not feel naked without them.
-
likewise, topo maps in the GPSr - though mine is a Lowrance (Expedition C) - Contours on 100ft intervals - without the topo in the unit, I, too, would be getting quads for every area I cache in - though I would probably not buy a whole state at a time - just more money than I want to spend
-
And an attribute is a very different thing than an icon. My only concern is that folks might start using it when there is dead wildlife near the cache location as well.
hm - in other words, potentially anywhere - perhaps I should turn it on in case there might be a dead critter in the woods near my caches
-
Personally, it is a nonissue - but if I were to place one in a cemetery and there were a defined attribute, I would use it.
-
I usually have my moleskine handy but I don't always write anything about a particular cache in it
-
When I first moved to my neighborhood less than a year ago, one state park very close by had only one cache - on an island. Now there are 7 of them in the park and 6 of them are mine - so look at a cacheless park as an opportunity!
-
I once found a dead German Shepard stuffed in a large garbage bag, dumped along a trail in a county park, its grisly teeth glaring through a rip in the bag. Subsequent cachers logged about the dog's state of decomposition. The cache hiders were upset about this and eventually pulled their cache. If I had to venture a guess, I'd say the dog was dispatched by a neighbor and unceremoniously dropped in a convenient spot.
it did not occur to anyone to report it to some park authority who might have been interested in removing it?
-
Only in more difficult caches, I have left cash (not cuz it rhymes with cache LOL) and unactivated TB's - but I only do it on the truly difficult puzzles. Most of the time I leave nothing special for FTF except the knowledge that they are FTF
-
No skin off your nose? I'm looking at your avitar and thinking, "Man, you don't even have a nose!"
Of course, this is only funny until the next time you change your avitar.<veer direction="off topic">
well, I may never change it since it is my trademark in another realm, but I have toyed with using this one:

I happen to think that people who worry too much about what other people do should learn to lighten up
-
Mine is to go to Sasolburg, SA - it appears that there are quite a few caches in the vicinity - the nearest just over 3 miles from city center.
-
I've met very few twenty year olds who were not clueless. Either way, it would be a mistake to alter the guidelines for one cache.
well as far as that goes, I have met very few people of any age who are not clueless, but I do not conform my life to meet their shortcomings
-
I have a few small ones I purchased at a Rockler store (woodworking) - but I am sure I could have got a better price if I had not picked these up - I just spotted them, figured they could be very handy for a number of things - and have only used a couple of the ten that came in the package. Rockler has an online store, also, in case you wish to look for them that way. (I won't bother to post a link lest someone think I am being overly commercial - so google it if you wish)
-
if I find rum in a cache, I will confiscate it...
course it might take me longer to find my way out of the woods than it did to find the cache...
BTW - many liquor bottles are made of plastic these days - so that element of potential risk may not be called into play.
Can anyone actually think a (clueless) child is likely to stumble on this cache alone?
-
just have it say "MUGGLE"
that would be more fun on the back of a blue windbreaker in big yellow letters
(and you could amuse some Potterers, too!)
-
When I do maintenance I read logs - I do not compare them to the logs on the site - and don't really care. If folks want to log a find who have not actually visited the cache, I figure it is no skin off MY nose - and if they can fool themselves into believing that they have a 'find' more power to them for such a flexible reality.
The neat thing is sometimes I find the visitors log a find in the cache who never log online, and those are neat logs to find.

And people who hide puzzle caches should end up stuck in Iraq.
Hm - I have one puzzle cache out there that is a three-stage multi - and I am not feeling the slightest twinge of guilt
-
the one I thought was native to windows is called 'stencil' - and I may be wrong about where it came from - I have had it since the beginning of time - or whenever I had my first windows box, whichever is more recent
-
Inside caches are possible - I have one in a library - but a retail store is a bad place - I have worked in such places and, even if you can conceal one without being noticed, racks, shelves, etc are frequently moved, rearranged, or taken off the floor.
-
Hmmm, it might confuse the Harry Potter fans.
One cannot confuse what is already confused
-
Well, I did not get them submitted yesterday after all - had no oppty to get the containers into their places as familial responsibilities, though not onerous, were definitely constant. I did get them placed and submitted today, Boxing Day. They are both puzzles - we shall see if FTF happens this year or next.
-
that looks GREAT!!!!!!
too bad I am not planning a trip to the area any time soon - but just in case, I think I will start working on the solutions anyway

4 or 5 miles is a quick little jaunt on a bike

actually, that is not true - coords are frequently in that range but do not count on it
