Deleting actual finds
JacobBarlow replied to Konnarock Kid & Marge's topic in General geocaching topics
The only logs I'll delete, legit or not, are logs on ALR caches where the ALR is not met... -
How Often Do You Notify a Cache Owner of Maintenance?
JacobBarlow replied to Headhardhat's topic in General geocaching topics
I read every log posted to our caches, so I think it's silly and annoying when someone posts a needs maintenance, there was no need, the only reason I like them is that I have a notification set up so I get emails on them around here and if it's a cache that I don't own but I don't think the owner will fix the problem then I can go "save" the cache for them... that's what I use it for. -

In your front yard caches
JacobBarlow replied to Castle Mischief's topic in General geocaching topics
We feel like "house caches" as we call them are great, they are safer for travel bugs, etc.. and just really fun to look for, we never feel awkward looking for them because putting a cache in your yard IS an invitation for us to come into it, we have a cache at our home and always will and we have them at our parents and relatives and friends homes too! -
My buddy was at GW6, I had to miss it due to work, but he was talking to the new record holders as they were telling their story and he said that they said that they went to the caches before hand and looked for them, but didn't sign the logs, then on the special day went to all of them and signed the logs, now if that's the rules to play by, I personally believe I could do it myself here in Utah, if the record is to sign 315 logs in 24 hours, even though you "found" the cache previously, that sounds easy!

That's why it's important to find ALOT where you like to hide, so you know where the FINAL's are.

I skip a lot too, I see it more as the clever then the cheating, to me if you find the final you found the cache.

how do you find "GROUND ZERO" of a city?
JacobBarlow replied to steelers217's topic in General geocaching topics
I have not seen any like that, but it would make sense, the "dot" on the GPS is often the intersection of the two main streets , but not always, there are several other ways I've seen of doing it too... -

100 caches in a day - How?

100 caches in a day - How?
JacobBarlow replied to Dread_Pirate_Bruce's topic in General geocaching topics
I have not done a 100 day yet, but have MANY 60-80 find days, and lots of people get 100 find days around here, the reason we don't is that we place the ones they find! But it's not too hard to do if you travel to a place where you have not found any, or at least very many and just go hard all day. -

JacobBarlow replied to steelers217's topic in General geocaching topics
I assume you're trying to solve one of the new "Ground Zero" puzzles that just got popular ? like this one : http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...e3-999cf71a530c I'd probably get in trouble for posting puzzle answers on the forums though... hmmm -
List of Challenge Type Caches
JacobBarlow replied to JacobBarlow's topic in General geocaching topics
I wanted to do one of those in my home County, but was told that a Quad Challenge and a Township Challenge for the same county was too much.... sad... Thanks guys! I'm having fun seeing what you're sharing! -
List of Challenge Type Caches
JacobBarlow replied to JacobBarlow's topic in General geocaching topics
Those are cool! I guess I should have been more clear, I'm not so much looking for "Challenging" caches, as I am "Challenge Caches," like : - You must find a cache in each county in the state - The Delorme Pages for the state - One with each letter ( alphabet soup ) - 100 puzzles ( challenge of the century ) basically a cache where you do a lot of OTHER caching to qualify for finding the cache. -

I really enjoy all the challenge type caches, like Delorme, and the county challenges, and Alphabet soup, and the fizzy DT/TR Challenges, and thought it would be fun to see what else is out there, if you wouldn't mind posting links to the challenge caches in your area that would be cool!

I'd have to ask her which cache it was to find the online log, but I know the Utah classic UtahJean has signed in blood before.
