Peanut Butter and Jelly

The website hasn't been updated in a while, I'd love for a print geocaching magazine, do you know if they are still in business? I'm still getting print copies in the mail. Seems to be going strong! And I hope it gets enough business support to stay that way .

I also print out my pages and like to keep it to one page per cache. This is what I do: Print-NO logs (usually a note will take up much less space if there's information I absolutely must have) Hide images for each entry-this saves space even for things like winter, wheelchair accessible,evince etc Right click for print preview Raise the top margin to just about the page numbers (this way the GC code will still show) Lower the lower margin bottom edge of the page Sometimes, but not usually I move out the left and right margins then...I click on various percentages until it fits to one page I like to keep my size to 80% or above for my eyes, but will go down as low as 70% if I have to. Below that I print two pages. When I actually do print I click on the circle for 1 page only I'm not too tech savvy, but this method has worked out for me.

Can you point to directions for making a similar cache?

If any of those puzzle caches are ones that I own feel free to contact me and I'll provide a hint, or even the solution if you want it. I'll keep this in mind and take a look again. This is a good time of year to solve some of those darned puzzles. Hints would be good, but no solutions. I'd be cheating myself. I might feel differently about this after a few weeks of frustration.

I'll be reading your blog hoping to improve my puzzle caching skills. Ithaca is down the road from me. I'd like to see some strategies on your blog. So many of the Ithaca puzzles just leave me baffled. I'm sure it's a matter of doing a few and getting better. But I'm not even getting to step 1.

Not everyone has a computer. When I started geocaching I didn't have a computer and had to go to the library and pay by the page to print out a cache. Did that for the first two years and then life got in the way. I found a bunch of caches during that time that never got logged, although I do remember going to places, some out of state. If I ever come across those old pages with the date found I'd log them in a heartbeat...and have a good laugh with the writeup (now on my own computer). Computers are so common that we forget that not everyone has one. Also, you never know what happened in another person's life. Sometimes it's pretty darned serious.

Okay, so what I'm understanding is that I wasn't able to get the logging fixed. Uh oh.Should I....oh darn, I'm lost...I really don't know what to do now. As an aside-that's one scary avatar you've got now. The blue duck looked friendlier.

Thanks very much Blue Deuce. I printed out your instructions. It took me a bit but I think it's been done. Reading back through the TB and cache logs I found another place where something went wrong, but I didn't try to get into that. So I picked a likely cache on the Quabbin Resevoir, did a visit to get the TB mileage. Deleted that note and then moved on to the Maine cache. Did a visit there and deleted that note too. The best I can figure is that it won't let me change my Maine grab it to a found, but at least from now on it will log properly and the TB has mileage credit.

I'll give a synopsis of a TB I picked up this past week: Dropped 8/16/2009 into a cache (Hoffman Evergreen Preserve) in Massachusetts Picked up in 2010 by another geocacher who couldn't log it because he found it in a cache at Quabbin Reservoir, Mass (not at Hoffman Evergreen Preserve) He had to write it as a grab. 9/3/10 The geocacher then left the TB at Road Easy in Maine. He wasn't able to log a drop since he hadn't figured out a way to officially retrieve it from a cache it hadn't officially been dropped in (the Quabbin Reservoir cache) 9/3/10 later in the day I pick up the TB from Road Easy in Maine. So far I can only write that I grabbed it from the previous geocacher. Now I have it. I'd like to get it loggable before I leave it somewhere else and the problem gets continued. I pieced this together from a couple of emails with the previous geocacher and the TB log page. It seems to be that he was in the same predicament that I'm in now. So...how can I get this TB back on track so it can be logged as retrieved and found? So far it seems all we can do is write grabs. I don't have much experience with travel bugs but maybe the problem started in 2009. It was put in a cache but written up as discovered. Thanks for helping me straighten this out.
