[How do i find a list of archived caches in my area?]

i find that a lot of the archived caches around here were because the co didn't want to maintain them or lost interest.

a lot of the places are good for caches.

[How do i find a list of archived caches in my area?]

like the title says-- how do i find archived caches around here--

 

some of them were good caches and i would like to revive them. not the original but put a new cache in the same location.

but i need to find a list of the old ones.

 

thx dave

[....find a cache published on a particular day of the year]

You want to find caches PLACED on a particular day of the year? If so, in the PLACED DATE section of a create Pocket Query page, select the third choice down for the Between / And dates. Enter the SAME date for BOTH. The date that you are interested in. Only caches hidden on that date will be returned.

 

i was hoping there was a simpler way to do it with pq's. but guess not.

 

thanks

[EarthCache owner don´t show up]

you should always log the find.

if the co does not think you found it or does not like your answer it is up to him to delete your log.

but you should log it first off. then send your answer to the CO.

[....find a cache published on a particular day of the year]

as the title says

 

how do i find--make pq-- of a particular day of the year?

[why do logs disappear from the web page]

i guess there is no participation by lackies in these forms. which is too bad

i have seen no official reply

so i guess the problem goes unsolved.

 

thanks for the effort

 

dave

[why do logs disappear from the web page]

now you see the problem. BOTH of these caches HAVE been logged in the past and and i logged the first cache a second time and the second caches has not been logged a second time as i waiting to resolve this problem.

 

there are other caches that also have lost the log entry on the web site but i did not keep a list.

 

i log each cache by hand on each cache page.

[why do logs disappear from the web page]

GC36RA6

 

GC40936

 

these are two that i remember. the first has been re-logged and the second is the one i found last night that started this message and have not re=logged yet.

the rest i don't remember where they are.

 

i understand co's deleting messages for what ever reason but i have never gotten a message back that it had been deleted.

[why do logs disappear from the web page]

as i said in the topic. i have had 7-8 of them become unlogged.

i thought on the first couple i had forgotten to log them but after looking at the log in the cache i had signed it.

any thoughts?

[missing caches]

why are there so many caches i have found that come up as not found. these are caches that have been logged and then they show as not found on the map pages. and the cache pages don't show i have logged it either?????

 

i have always keep a paper copy of the log file from the gps and i can go back and see where it was logged before.

[firefox and the updated geocaching]

i ran ccleaner which cleans up spurious files and now it runs ok.

so maybe that was the cause.

'

thanks

dave

[firefox and the updated geocaching]

no.

 

but i am having this trouble with a couple of other web sites.

most sites are ok.

[firefox and the updated geocaching]

no greasemonkey scripts.

[firefox and the updated geocaching]

Do you have any GreaseMonkey scripts running?

 

When the site changes, GreaseMonkey can misbehave if they rely something about the old markup, CSS, JavaScript, etc. that is no longer true on the new site.

[firefox and the updated geocaching]

some where in the updating of geocaching and the updated firefox thing went south.

the geocaching page does not render properly anymore. anyone have any suggestions to fix things.

 

and it does make me wonder if some of these changes are made just to keep programmers busy?

 

just why was the home page changed?

[looking for help in the newcastle area.]

Sidney area would be great also if you are willing to drive up.

[looking for help in the newcastle area.]

I am looking for help in the Aberdeen area near Newcastle to place a cache like the one in Twin City Cache GCQMTW and Two for the Money (GCQRGC)

 

The idea is for you to find a place there and i will build a cache page with clues from here that point to your cache hide and you will build a cache page about a location here.

 

Then people will pair up with someone from the other country to find the caches.

 

Anyone interested?

[etrex cache names]

thanks that does work.

 

but that leaves me puzzled as this is the first time using smartnames

and there was a time that caches were loaded and displayed with names and not gc#

wonder how that was done?

 

huuumm

 

dave

[etrex cache names]

oh, i have gsak but do not know all the stuff it will do.

that said, i tried the smart name and loaded the pq again but the caches still come up

with gc# rather then names.

 

is there something in the etrex that changes the way they are displayed?

 

this unit belongs to a friend and i had helped hi several month ago get it working

and at the time caches were loaded that showed with names.

 

i thought that maybe it was something to do with gsak but upon loading a cache from

gc.com it still displays with gc# vice names.

[etrex cache names]

tell me about smart names.

[etrex cache names]

what needs to be done to list caches by name in the etrex venture?

they now show with gc numbers.

[looking for a caching partner in hong kong]

i would like to setup a multicache with part in Hong Kong Aberdeen area and the other part in Aberdeen Washington USA.

 

is there anyone that would like to do this?

 

thanks you Dave

[Ideas for a Multi/Puzzle Cache]

first, i would suggest that each cache be logable as sometimes it can be very involved. look up the users itooth and squarehead look at their puzzle caches. they are very good. part of the solution goes in each cache. the last one being the final of bonus. some you must solve a puzzle to the cache and then each cache has a part of a puzzle for the final. puzzles can be very simple or very complex. when you find itooth's look at some of the other puzzles in the area. there are some very good and challenging caches in this area. also look at some of the puzzles in your area.

 

have a ball puzzling.
