Bear and Ragged

They are out there! Maybe not as closely placed as the one in the US, but they are there. Nice to see there's a theme. I like out and back, if you cant find the cache on the way out, you get a chance for another look on the way back!

Take several readings, over a period of time. Then average them yourself. Move away from the site, and see if what you have takes you to, or close to, where you've hidden the cache.

Put it as the title. More chance of it being read? Or maybe not...

Glad the cache is OK. Good to hear you are getting OK. ? And, yes, OM log having checked the cache.

Multi, as there is two or more stages. Or Mystery. Mystery means cachers might read the description, before attempting the cache...

There's a lot to be said for avoiding 'local' caches, and finding all the caches in the area. Especially if you want to try for a 'Streak' run of caches. As a single local cache can be used to keep the streak going.

Sometimes it's the "In plain sight" but not so obvious that works. No other plants around, but no one thinks twice about the one plant there... Unless it's the cacher looking for 'something' that is a cache...

If they are teenagers, they may not be drivers, so don't consider parking? Maybe they use public transport/bicycles/scooters/walk to get around.

If it's organised by a group, but only the 'Event Page' owner can't attend, surely it can still go ahead as others are there to greet attendees...?

Or. Every-so-often run Purge Logs to reduce the size of the database.

As you say "app" I'd say log out, log back in, and see if that solves things. Otherwise, as above, contact Groundspeak.

The problem these days is the "Painted Rocks" where someone paints a rock 'hides' it and someone else finds it, then hides it somewhere else... Hope your cache finds it's way back to where you placed it. And better to check it IS there, and not full of unsuitable things. (Sweets etc)

Kind of agree with this. eg. I can fix the problem, but leave the cache Temp Disabled for a while until other things are sorted....

I don't always expect a reply, but getting one is always nice - especially if it's one of the above - and shows the CO has actually read the log/info submitted!

Depending on any other requirements, I only need two cache finds... First cache is my furthest North, and furthest East. My second find is my furthest South, and furthest West. GSAK has a NSEW extreme as part of the Find Stats macro, and there is an extract to just show the extreme NSEW for a set of filtered caches. I do my Furthest NSEW cache in the UK for each year, and some years one cache will get two points.

Ability to search for ALL cache types for Premiums, and is it still limited for basic to have limited number of caches per day? But, that feeling of supporting the site is a bonus!

There is that 'logging as a team' but no mention in the relevant logs that do have a photo, that could be a cacher trying to armchair log. If there was no photo, but the log with the photo mentions it's a group - and names all in the group including those with no photo in their log, I'd let it slide. Requiring ALL logs to have a photo might help to dissuade others to try to 'armchair' log without a photo...

Works OK on Cachly, so looks like the API does show coordinates, but GS app doesn't... GS decision to not show coordinates in logs?

YOU have to be able to maintain ALL stages... Or have a very good plan, that will convince the Reviewer that the cache can be maintained in a 'reasonable time'

Allowance is a 24 hour period. If the server 'resets' at midnight, running your full allowance at 10 minutes to midnight, doesn't get you your full allowance again at 1 minute past midnight. It 'resets' after 24 hours has past. ie full allowance returns at 10 to midnight next day.

It's Groundspeaks API, and as such not controlled by GSAK. 24 hours.

Those COs that have been awarded seem to be taking into account that the old ones were often 'armchair' logged -which has got easier with the advent of streetview and/or a good search of the internet- and, of the ones I've seen in the UK, seem to be more a multi-cache and as such may well have been somewhere close a container could have been hidden...

I use Cachly. And its an Approved API Partner. http://www.cach.ly/ I prefer it to Groundspeaks own app. (Since they did away with their own 'Paid' for version) It's $4.99 , but you get better caching options as a Premium Member. (Groundspeak put restrictions on the approved API apps, it's not the app developers adding restrictions!) Mostly the restrictions are the number of caches the app will show you per day.
